Myles Bullock’s Renzo states in a baffled tone when the crowd at a basketball tournament erupts as Jack Harlow’s Jeremy unleashes a dunk during a pivotal juncture in the big game.
In many ways, Renzo’s perplexed statement is a commentary on the past and present this film represents.
White Men Can’t Jump is a remake of the beloved 1992 sports comedy starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. Fast forward 31 years, and now Sinqua Walls (Power) and fast-rising rap star Jack Harlow are the lead hoopers.
Jeremy (Harlow) and Kamal Allen (Walls) are two people who are hard up for money and team up to use their considerable basketball talents to make ends meet.
The means, however, is unstable, and a big win by the pair is needed to set things right for them and their loved ones.
Who is the third man? It was the biggest mystery in professional wrestling when twenty-seven years ago, 250,000 households ordered WCW Bash at the Beach on pay-per-view.
Speculation was white hot about who would join Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, the aptly named Outsiders, who seemingly represented promotional competitor WWF in their crusade to take over WCW.
“Macho Man” Randy Savage, Lex Luger, and Sting would symbolically lose the first battle in what became a multi-year war to Hall, Nash, and their “surprise buddy,” Hulk Hogan. And Bobby “The Brain” Heenan ruined the whole thing.
Happy 4th of July, everyone. Before I grill up some burgers and hot dogs, I thought it would be good idea to look at some of the star spangled fashion choices made by wrestlers over the years.
Some wrestlers, like our cover model Kurt Angle is always clad in the stars and stripes. Others break out their patriotism on special occasions.
Let’s look at eight wrestlers who in one form or another, applied old glory to their in-ring aesthetic.
Whoever said, “A bad day in London is still better than a good day anywhere else,” doesn’t go by the name Roman Reigns.
The Bloodline Civil War tag team encounter pitting The Usos against Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns headlined WWE Money in the Bank on Saturday from the O2 Arena in London, England.
The Square Mile deserved a historical moment for its first worldwide PLE in over 30 years, and they got one. Roman Reigns suffered his first pinfall loss since losing to Baron Corbin at TLC in 2019.
Legendary Professional Wrestling Scribe and Historian to be Honored at The Wrestling Showcase
For over 50 years, few have dedicated their lives to covering the world of professional wrestling like Bill Apter. From writing to editing to photography, publications like Pro Wrestling Illustrated,The Wrestler, and Inside Wrestling greatly benefited from Apter’s hard work and passion for the sport.
AEW’s new Saturday night show Collision debuted on TNT from the United Center in Chicago, which marked the highly anticipated return of CM Punk. Several talents who haven’t been seen in AEW in several months also returned.
Whether it’s turning on his family or hiding behind his on-screen girlfriend, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio is an enigma people love to hate. He’s essentially Ziggy from The Wire (If you know, you know).
Cowardly saboteurs are commonplace in wrestling. MJF does a great job in the role in AEW as their world champion.
However, MJF drips with arrogance because he’s as good as he says he is but chooses to cheat. On the other hand, Dominik’s hubris immensely exceeds his station, exacerbating the crowd heat he garners.
After focusing his long-running daddy issues on Cody Rhodes, Dominik has a date with “The American Nightmare” on July 1st at Money in the Bank. The match-making segment on Raw ended with Rhodes calling Brock Lesnar a coward for not answering his challenge for a third encounter.
Like Wile E. Coyote, a lightbulb went on in my head. Rhodes’ crack about Lesnar was the spark. It’s all so clear now.
Former WWE and ECW superstar Al Snow is entering the comedy ring with his new comedy special on June 30th, which will air on the Premier Streaming Network.

“This is a dream come true,” said Vox. “I remember watching Monday Night Raw during the Attitude Era, and watching a superstar that had so much charisma, such comedic timing, and that superstar was The Rock. But Al Snow was also on that show.”
