Impact Wrestling, the No. 2 pro wrestling promotion in North America, employs old, over-the-hill superstars, but those old and over-the-hill superstars include some of the biggest names in the wrestling industry.

On Tuesday at the intersection of Airport Avenue and Pujiang Street in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, a bus lost control on a slick road and rammed into a Nissan parked in another lane. There were no serious injuries, but let this be a reminder to everyone that roads are not safe, and much less so when it's been raining.
It’s not the worst we can imagine, but it’s certainly the worst we’ve seen try to get passed off, without irony, as a real picture.

I’m not going to say this is good, but you know, modern rap has lowered our expectations. Anyway, here’s someone’s high school advanced placement project, subject: Chinese history. Explicit lyrics, of course, if you didn’t get that from the “gangsta rap” part of the title. Right, and it’s also racially charged — but you probably... Read more »
An elevator motherboard failure in a high-rise apartment in Anshan, Liaoning province has forced residents of Building 8, Unit 1 to find alternative ways to go home. Sure, some people just climb the 18 flights of stairs, but what if you’re old and don’t have the knees for that kind of daily workout? Pictured above,... Read more »
