This is an excellent choice as the Canadian wrestler was what the TNA women’s division was built on and for a time it could be stated that TNA put out some of the best women’s wrestling in America…

It was not that long ago that I was left speechless when my musical hero, David Bowie died a few months ago. It has happened for me again as Muhammad Ali, “The Greatest” died at age 74.

This was not just a boxer, but a man of unique conviction who always stood up for what he believed in and was not just a sporting icon but one who transcended sports the world over.

As we discussed previously, Miller was quite vocal about his distaste for the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony, of which he was finally inducted after a long wait. Miller infamously railed on the Hall at the post ceremony press conference but on the Howard Stern Show, he had a lot more to say: “It's gonna get…
