The Time is Now for The Women's Division in WWE

 The WWE has been nothing but a progressive brand within the last couple of years when it comes to shining a light on certain subjects around the sports entertainment industry.  The one particular subject was the women's division.  The division that was known as the "bathroom break" at live events has quickly turned the tables and become the main attraction. With fans starting the hashtag #GiveDivasAChance, it changed the WWE landscape forever. 

Everything starting a few years back when Stephanie McMahon introduced the "Women's Revolution".  Seeing the success of the US Women's Soccer Team and the talent WWE with its up and coming women, she knew she had something brewing.  This was almost unheard of around the sports world and Stephanie realizing the business women that she is, flipped the switch on the way fans watch WWE.  Introducing fans to the "Four Horseman", a group that consisted of Bayley, Sasha Banks, Charlotte, and Becky Lynch.  Along with well-known credible women in the industry like the Bella Twins and Paige.  This revolution would take WWE by storm and allowed fans to respect the matches these women competed in and create a favoritism for different superstars now being both men and women. 

But that announcement was only the tip of the ice berg for Stephanie McMahon.  She would continue to make history by having women compete in matches that the men only competed in like The Iron Man (Iron Women), Money in the Bank, Steel Cage.  It showed that women can be just as good as the men around the WWE.  Stephanie has pressed all the right buttons so far and by the looks of things she is only getting started.  Women in the industry can do anything the men are doing and giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents in matches is what is best for business.

While the revolution has been underway, it introduced the fans to even more successful women like Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, Carmella, Asuka and Ronda Rousey.  When WWE revealed Rousey is crossing over to the WWE, it was a big milestone for what Stephanie envisioned for the revoultion.  Having Rousey at "WrestleMania" in a match against Stephanie and Triple H was huge.  But, having Rousey put Triple H through a table was the icing on the cake and showed that the women are here to stay. 

Last week on Monday Night Raw, she would stand in the ring with her husband (Triple H) and her father (Vince McMahon) and announce to all the Raw Superstars that they are making history again.  She announced that on October 28, there will be a women's only pay-per-view event live on the WWE Network. 

The Women's division has received nothing but support and praise from the WWE Universe when they implemented women to compete on bigger events.  It gave women of today an opportunity to chase their dreams and have a role model to look up to in the WWE.  The Women have yet to let the fans down and seeing them have the green light to go out and put on a show for the fans is truly something magical.

AL Mid Season Awards

By Zane Robidoux Twitter: @Zrobidoeee With baseballs Midsummer Classic coming to a close, now is as good a time as ever to take a look at who the frontrunners for the MVP and Cy Young awards are. Rookie of the Year won’t be covered in this article, only because it feels like that race has already been decided (AL- Gleyber Torres, NL- Juan Soto). Instead, we’ll focus more on the awards that could go to a multitude of people, all equally deserving. To round the whole MLB out, the NL awards portion will be covered in a second article . Just to finish up my predictions, how the AL will shape up come the postseason can be found here too. Let’s jump in.  AL MVP: Mookie Betts  (.359 AVG/23 HR/53 RBI/.448 OBP/.691 SLG/1.139 OPS) Mookie leads the MLB in BA, SLG %, OPS and OPS+, is second in the AL in runs and OBP, and is third in the MLB in WAR at 6.3. After being the MVP runner up to Mike Trout two years back and following that up with a solid 2017 campaign, Mookie

Could Conor McGregor Ever Make A Comeback?

(via mmafighting.com) By Fabrizio Salerno Twitter:  @fabriziosa1erno The UFC, being the multi-billion-dollar company that it is, needs no lesson on driving-in sales. With almost every pay-per-view promotion that UFC President Dana White conjures up, the public is intrigued to watch the end result. By elevating well-known athletes like Ronda Rousey, Nate Diaz, Chris Weidman, and, of course, Conor McGregor, the UFC has been a force to be reckoned with in the fighting world. While the success of the brand cannot be pinpointed to one individual, UFC certainly carried the wave of energy McGregor brought with him when was booked to fight. But by being out of fighting for a little over a year, does McGregor still have the spirit to get back and compete in the octagon. Conor is the main guy for UFC and any belt he wants he would go for. Whether he has to gain or lose weight, he takes on the challenge and gives the paying customers what they want. Take the "mega-

Stanton Officially Becomes a New York Yankee

By: Fabrizio Salerno Twitter:@fabriziosa1erno After making the blockbuster trade of the offseason the New York Yankees got the 2017 NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton. This increased the Yankees chances to make the World Series after falling short the previous season. Yankee fan s have been patiently waiting for Stanton to have his “Yankee” moment. Stanton seems to be under performing and is starting to realize standards are different for Yankee superstars. He is currently on pace to hit over 40 homers and surpass 100 RBIs which is still normal superstar standard. Some Yankee fans still aren’t comfortable with him in the lineup because he hasn’t had a “Yankee” moment. Last night the Yankees were tied going into the bottom of the ninth.  Stanton steps up to the plate with two outs and two strikes.Then boom, he takes one to deep left center field and that marks his first walk off home run in the pinstripes. This could be the moment Stanton and Yankee fans have been waiting for
