24 years ago today, Alex Rodriguez CRUSHED an eephus pitch from El Duque in what was ultimately his second-to-last visit to Yankee Stadium as an opposing player.
Matt Groening teases that ‘THE SIMPSONS: HIT & RUN’ game will be revived.
“I think the original game is coming back in some form.”

He wasn’t a draw in 2020 or early 2021 either. All the QHs pointed to Mercedes Moné drawing the ratings for SmackDown. It took the Sami Zayn storyline for Roman to finally be part of something that drew, and then fans flocked in to see Cody finally end the awful reign.
They'd just have Heyman make another one.
I can't believe everybody forgets WrestleMania 31, 32, 33, etc. where he was boo'ed out of the building.
Convincing the world that Roman was in the GOAT convo is the greatest trick Heyman ever pulled.
Heyman is the GOAT.
83 Weeks, Podcast host Conrad Thompson doubles DOWN on Roman Reigns slander:
“You forgot him getting booed out of the building at 31, 32, 33, etc? Lmk when Hogan, as babyface champion, gets booed so loudly the company turns the volume down.
What was roman like without Heyman?
Suffering succotash, son”
As much as I don’t enjoy agreeing with Conrad, nor do I enjoy sharing Cultaholic information, there are no lies here detected. Roman is the most overrated and overprotected, modern day wrestler, possibly of all time.
Conrad Thompson has called Roman Reigns "probably the most overrated main eventer in WWE history" and described the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion as "Goldberg if Goldberg worked more than 10 minutes."
"I think Roman Reigns is probably the most overrated main eventer in WWE history. I know this isn't a wrestling term, it’s a music term, but Roman Reigns is what music would call an industry plant. I don’t think if Roman Reigns disappears tomorrow WWE’s fortune changes at all.
"They pushed him so hard against the grain. ‘Down our throats’ is the phrase that Triple H would use about why they’re not pushing Bron Breakker. Well, they pushed Roman down our throats forever.
"We had a good storyline with The Bloodline but now that The Bloodline, it feels like it’s into its black and silver era of The nWo. It’s kind of like, ‘Eh, it was a fun moment in time, but it’s time to move on.’ I just don’t know that there’s any really, truly fanatical Roman Reigns fans.
"Like if they booked Roman the way they do Punk or the way they do Cody, I just feel like we’ve been conditioned to believe he’s the top guy. But there’s no real reason. I don’t know that anybody could say, ‘Here’s my favourite Roman match.’ When people talk about their favourite match ever, how many people list a Roman Reigns match? How many people list their favourite promo as a Roman Reigns [promo]?
"And it’s not like he’s doing the world PR tour and doing all the heavy lifting like they have a Cody Rhodes, or before that, a John Cena doing. He just flies in, takes 12 minutes to get to the ring, wrestles kind of the same match, does it really, really slow, gets his hand raised, and he moves on. He’s Goldberg if Goldberg worked more than 10 minutes."
