Arts & Humanities > History Mysteries Who was Jack the Ripper?: 15 of 19
Jack the Ripper! The name alone turns the body cold. The images of his victims laid out on the cold cobble streets of London's White Chapel are enough give any one nightmares.

Sports & Recreation > Wrestling WWE and steroids - a brewing scandal?: 9 of 11
There is no scandal in the WWE over steroids. Let me make that perfectly clear. This unbelievable connection between the two will probably never go away, but here is my two cents on it. First of all Vince McMahon was never found guilty for pushing steroids on his wrestlers in a court of law. Even Hulk Hogan who was employed ... More..
Education > College Life Should colleges punish marijuana-smokers more severely than underage drinkers on campus?: 9 of 11
Should people who smoke pot be punished more severely then underage drinkers? The answer to that question is real simple, yes. Let me ask you a question.

Entertainment > Movies (Other) Is it better to watch movies in theaters or DVDs at home?: 94 of 113
Watching movies at home is by far better. While you can see a movie when it is first released by going to the theater. There is more freedom in watching it at home. I personally own over 800 movies. Any time I want to watch a particular movie I just pop it in. No waiting in line for a ticket, or concessions. If I happen to r... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: True lessons learned the hard way during employment: 105 of 126
D.T.A. Don't trust anybody. It was a catch phrase that was popular among wrestling fans in the late 90's through about 2003. I thought that was all it was. I didn't realize how true it was until the end of July of this year. I was raised in a very tight family. I had two cousins that were my best friends. We did everything t... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Baseball MLB: What it's like to be a Chicago Cubs fan: 20 of 24
To be a Cubs fan is to be the eternal optimist. We go in to every season with this idea that this year is it. This is the year the suffering ends, and the dynasty of the Cubs begins. Okay maybe a dynasty is a bit of a stretch, but you never know. That is part of being a Cubs fan. One year they are really bad, and the next th... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Baseball Do baseball salaries buy championships?: 23 of 27
It is not the salaries that win championships. It is the talent. It just so happens that with great talent comes large contracts. If baseball salaries won championships then the New York Yankees would have a long streak of World Series Titles dating back to the late 90's. The Yankees have been leading Major League Baseball i...

Sports & Recreation > Wrestling Professional wrestling: What's more important money or health?: 12 of 14
Any wrestler will tell you that if you are in this business for the money, you are in it for the wrong reason. You must have a love, and dedication for wrestling to not only be in it, but also to get anywhere in it. Look at it like any other job. If you are sick all the time. You don't go into work. That means less hours put... More..

The days of george Hackenschmidt, and Frank Gotch are long gone, but it was this era that was the start of professional wrestling as we know it.
