Chokeholds to Championships
Like many boys of his generation, Varun Sanyal spent his childhood watching World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The world of scripted smackdowns and oversized showmen was magnetic to a young mind growing up in Singapore. It was watching Indian wrestlers like Sushil Kumar and Yogeshwar Dutt succeed at the 2012 Olympics sparked something deeper in Varun. 'They looked like us. From India. Doing well in a global sport. That changed something for me,' he says. He wanted in. But his father didn't want him to go. Combat sports were out of the question. So Varun waited. Years later, in Singapore's mandatory National Service, he was earning his own money. With a small but steady income, he made a decision: he paid for a full year of combat sports training upfront. 'If I was going to take this leap, I wasn't going to do it half-in, half-out.'

LeBron James faces steroid allegations: Breakdown of his back injury controversy
LeBron James is one player who will be remembered in glory as long as his name remains tied to his sport. That doesn't mean, however, that the Future Hall of Fame star hasn't had his pitfalls, the most significant of which happened back in 2014-15 when some reports claimed that the player had missed two weeks of play not due to the publicly declared back injury but as a result of using steroids. LeBron James faced steroid allegations during the 2014-15 season when he missed games. (AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill, File)(AP) Although the claims were never completely proven to be true, they caused quite a stir when former Hawks guard Jeff Teague recently brought them up in a podcast appearance. Also Read: WWE Cody Rhodes vs John Cena WrestleMania rematch: Should Triple H bring The Rock back to the ring? James' back injury in 2014 Following four seasons with the Miami Heat, James missed about two weeks of games during the 2014-15 season, his first playing with the Cleveland Cavaliers. At the time, it was claimed that he was missing in action due to a disc issue. He went on to miss 13 games that season, a career-high record for him at the time. Although he made a steady run to the Finals that year after returning on January 13, it was ESPN's Brian Windhorst's claims of James not quite being himself for the rest of the season due to his back that first spotlighted speculation. Many claimed that James had been using steroids at that point, including Teague most recently. Also Read: Hulk Hogan tribute: WWE, Triple H present beautiful video at SmackDown; fans in tears Teague's claims against James During an appearance on his 'Club 520 Podcast', Teague laid all speculation to rest. "He was on steroids, bro. He had to sit out, he was on steroids,' he said. "They started testing for HGH ... and he had to sit out. He said his back was hurting. He sat out for like three weeks and came back skinny. I was in the league, I remember." As per the official website of the Mayo Clinic, 'It appears that human growth hormone (HGH) can boost muscle mass and lower the amount of body fat in healthy older adults. But the gain in muscle doesn't lead to gains in strength. It isn't clear if human growth hormone provides other benefits to healthy adults.' There are several gaps in Teague's story and timeline, the most important of which is that the league did not officially start testing players for HGH until the season after these allegations surfaced. In his 2015-16 season, James played 76 of 82 games and won a championship with the Cavaliers, as reported by Yahoo Sports. Teague later waived off his comments as a joke and reaffirmed this stance during his most recent appearance on Thursday (July 24). (By Stuti Gupta)

Hulk Hogan's greatest moments in professional wrestling 'run wild on you'
Hulk Hogan's back had weakened, a failed early attempt at slamming all 525 pounds of Andre the Giant left the Immortal One" unsteady as the World Wrestling Federation champion once more needed to rally to beat another of wrestling's baddest bad guys. Andre wrapped his tree-trunk arms around the champ and tried to wring the final breaths out of Hogan with a bear hug so tight that more than 90,000 fans in Detroit almost witnessed the final day of Hulkamania. But, wait! This was Hulk Hogan. Wrestling's biggest star had more late comebacks than fellow 1980s sports stars John Elway or Michael Jordan combined. Hogan had some gas left in the tank, some extra bite in those 24-inch pythons, and hammered away at Andre. One right hand, then another one, and another! Wrestling fans roared as they knew the bad news that was coming for Andre. Hogan fought back much as he did against those 1980s baddies out of the Cold War or Iran and finally body-slammed Andre the Giant. Hogan hit the hopes and delivered his famous leg drop on Andre's chest to get the three count. Hulk Hogan won again at WrestleMania. He always won, of course. It's what the story called for and there was no reason for WWF owner and pro wrestler puppeteer Vince McMahon to ever deviate from the plan of Hulkamania running wild. Why would he? Hogan had the hulking size, the charisma and catchphrases What'cha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you? that led the industry out of gyms and regional arenas and into NFL stadiums, like that 1987 night when Hogan beat Andre at the Pontiac Silverdome in WrestleMania III. There he is, announcer Gorilla Monsoon said, as Hogan played to the crowd, the greatest professional athlete in the world today. Whether you break out an eye roll or crank up Hogan's Real American anthem to that statement depends, of course, on one's ability to suspend disbelief. There is no denying, though, just how real Hogan's impact was on professional wrestling and pop culture in the 1980s. He stood toe-to-toe with Rocky Balboa. He fought side-by-side with Mr. T. He hosted Saturday Night Live and flexed on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He did what he set out to do, WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter said Friday by phone. He became the most recognized, not only professional wrestler and sports entertainer in the world, he's probably top-five of anybody you'd recognize when you saw him. WWE has long claimed the paid attendance of WrestleMania III was 93,173, a number some historians claim is as artificially inflated as the chemically-enhanced biceps of that era. What can't be disputed, when the two had their match in 1988, live on national television, more than 33 million fans tuned in to NBC, still far and away the record for largest viewing audience in American televised wrestling. Making money and moving merch. That was the real power of Hulkamania. Hogan, who died Thursday in Florida at age 71, left behind more than three decades of memorable matches that captured the spirit of those little Hulkamaniacs to the ones that loved to hate him in the 1990s as Hollywood Hulk Hogan in the New World Order. Here are some of his best moments. He beat the Sheik Hogan wasn't some upstart when he returned to the WWF (now WWE) in late 1983. He tested the waters of Hulkamania in the old American Wrestling Alliance and made his famous appearance as Thunderlips in Rocky III, when was beckoned back to WWE and became an instant contender to face the champion, the hated Iron Sheik. Hogan broke out of the dreaded camel clutch and pinned the Sheik to become the new champion on Jan. 23, 1984, at Madison Square Garden the building paid tribute to Hogan on Thursday night and set the course for Hulkamania. FILE - Hulk Hogan rips his shirt before Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden, Oct. 27, 2024, in New York. (Photo:PTI) He was champion for 1,474 days before losing to Andre in 1988. Slamming Andre Back before the internet spilled behind-the-scenes secrets, and there was easy access to watch wrestling around the globe, WWE created its own version of wrestling history. If the company said Andre the Giant had never been slammed, and had never been pinned over a 15-year undefeated streak, then it was believed to be true (neither were, of course). Yet, the faux hype set the stage for the match that changed wrestling forever. Andre the Giant was a momentum-shifting moment where he passed his torch, Hogan said in a 2009 interview with the AP. He was like the icing on the cake. Once he blessed me, it was up to me to mold that business and carry it through. It's icon vs. icon against The Rock With WCW out of business and bought by McMahon, Hogan kept a low profile until he made a comeback with WWE in 2002. He returned with Hall and Nash as the NWO but at this point, WWE fans wanted their old Hulkster back. Dwayne The Rock Johnson was WWE's baby-faced crowd favorite when he met the villainous Hogan at WrestleMania in an Icon vs. Icon match in WrestleMania in 2002. One problem, the Toronto crowd decided to back Hogan. After the match, the cheers for Hogan called for a last-second change of plans, with his former NWO allies running down to attack him. The Rock helped Hogan fight off the NWO and the two men posed together to riotous cheers.
