WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley became the second WWE talent this week to garner some serious heat at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center. Unlike Roman Reigns, Foley’s crime wasn’t winning when fans didn’t want him to. It was quite different – cheating during a competitive eating contest on Friday.
The event in question was Philly’s Wing Bowl 23, an annual tradition began in 1993 as a way for Philly sports fans to enjoy the week before the Super Bowl since Philadelphia professional sports teams have rarely been in championship games. (Aside from a Philadelphia Phillies baseball World Series title in 2008, no major league team has win their sport’s title in 30-plus years.)
Foley entered the wing-eating competition as a celebrity contestant and was quickly disqualified in the first round for hiding uneaten wings in his fanny pack. The stunt was seemingly pre-planned and designed...

Hulk Hogan might be the most famous professional wrestler ever. He’s been a pop culture icon for over 30 years now. His first WWE Title win was in 1984, then we went on to main event the first nine WrestleManias (really it was eight, but he was a part of the ninth main event too). When he went to WCW in 1994, he was the biggest difference maker for that company becoming a legitimate threat to WWE.
His heel turn in 1996 as part of the Nwo is arguably the best heel turn ever. When he came back to WWE in 2002 everything came full circle for him and the 2005 Hall of Fame induction ceremony was a way to thank him for all that he’s done. Since he left and came back, there’s no better time to remember some Hogan moments.
Those are his great moments.

Happy Turkey Day, PopWatchers! This year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade had a few new balloons, a revamped Santa float, and more NBC promos and placements than I can wrap my head around. Highlights Broadway! I'm a sucker for a show tune, and it was kind of nuts to see Hair being performed outside Macy's. My conflicting cultural institutions, let me show you them! John Stamos' Bye Bye Birdie performance, while, yeah, horribly lip-synced, was still charismatic and cute, and Billy Elliot and Shrek were completely serviceable. Fun times. Cream-colored coats Jane Krakowski, Andrea Bocelli, Katharine McPhee -- you heard it here first,...
