He said it was Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat at WrestleMania 3 that helped solidify that passion he had for pro wrestling.”But wrestling, there’s nothing like pro wrestling in America,” he said. “There’s nothing like it, brother. It’s like a lot of people call a male soap opera, man soap opera. It’s like you got two guys in the middle of the ring faking a fight, right? And you got 70, 80,000 people caught up in the moment.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX: Many African economies are accelerating – booming – since the Trump Administration shifted policy focus from aid to trade, a senior State Department official told Fox News Digital.In some African countries, doom was forecast when the Trump administration severely cut back USAID funding, but instead there’s been unprecedented economic growth, credited to the Commercial Diplomacy Strategy, introduced at the beginning of President Trump’s second term.Now, “nine of the 20 fastest-growing economies (in the world) are in Africa,” Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of African Affairs Frank Garcia told Fox News Digital.IRAN AND HOUTHI TERROR PROXY FACING RED SEA THREAT FROM PRO-US AFRICAN NATION Garcia added, “African economies are responding positively to the shift from aid to trade. In 2025, U.S. exports to sub-Saharan Africa increased by 23% to $22.6 billion. And continue to grow this year.”When the Administration cut USAID by 83% early last year, “The predictions were catastrophic: economies heavily dependent on foreign donors—from Ethiopia to South Sudan and Malawi — were expected to collapse. Instead, something quite different happened,” Anna Mahjar-Barducci, Project Director at the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), told Fox News Digital.”The African continent proved far more…

Caitlin Clark directly called out a referee for missing a call against her after a loss on Wednesday night.Clark was seen yelling demonstratively in the face of a referee after a play against Golden State veteran Kiah Stokes. Clark said she was “kneed in the quad” after the game and suffered a contusion.”I got kneed right in the quad, that hurts, the ref can’t miss that,” she told reporters.STEPHANIE WHITE GIVES CAITLIN CLARK STATUS UPDATE AHEAD OF FEVER-SPARKS, BUT HER NEXT MOVE RAISES QUESTIONS “And then I have to play with a contusion in my leg for the rest of the game. Ridiculous, you can’t miss calls like that.”Clark was seen taking a brief trip to the locker room after the play, as she continues to work her way back to full strength and health after suffering a back injury in June.Clark was asked if she got an explanation on the no-call, and said she told that she herself initiated the contact.”You can’t knee me in the leg and knock me over,” Clark said.Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White addressed the explanation herself.”Seems to always be initiating the contact,” White said sarcastically of the decision.Footage of Clark yelling at the referee…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! “Can you or the American military or the Israeli military get to what’s left of their third string and their fourth string and their fifth string? Do you know where they are? Can you kill them?”I posed those questions to President Donald Trump Monday, July 13.”Yeah, I do, but we don’t want to talk about that,” the president replied.TRUMP SAYS HE LEFT INSTRUCTIONS TO ‘BOMB’ IRAN ‘AT LEVELS’ NEVER SEEN IF HE IS ASSASSINATED”But we certainly are watching, yeah,” he added. “I know a lot about that subject. I know a lot, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk about it right now.” Trump’s restraint about clearing the bench of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is interesting.The public faces of the rump regime in Iran — President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi — don’t have any authority over the killers with the guns. (Trump puts the number of Iranians massacred by the regime over two days in January at 52,000, so we know the ruthlessness of the men in charge.) When the campaign against Iran by the U.S. and Israel opened on February 28, those strikes devastated the…

No foul was called.CAITLIN CLARK BREAKS WNBA ASSISTS RECORD TO A CHORUS OF BOOS AS VALKYRIES SPOIL THE MILESTONE Moments later, with 4:20 remaining in the second quarter, officials whistled a foul on an Indiana teammate.Clark immediately turned toward the referee, yelling from close range and dropping some F-bombs to argue that the Fever weren’t getting the same whistle at the other end.Despite the heated exchange, Clark was not assessed a technical foul.SARAH SPAIN IS ANGRY AND BITTER THAT CHRISTINE BRENNAN WOULD DARE DEFEND CAITLIN CLARKThe rough first half extended beyond the officiating. Clark went into halftime with just two points on 1-of-5 shooting, along with two rebounds and two assists. Before tipoff, Clark acknowledged she would be on a minutes restriction as she continues working her way back from injury under coach Stephanie White’s plan.She later headed to the…

It was 2:35 am et Sunday.The phone rang, yanking me out of deep slumber.Calls like these are never good.In the split second before I answered the phone, my mind traveled to the obvious place for any journalist who covers Capitol Hill and gets a call at that hour.LINDSEY GRAHAM, SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR WHO ROSE FROM SMALL-TOWN ROOTS TO GOP POWER BROKER, DIES AT 71 Surely it was about former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).McConnell has been out of service and nowhere to be found for weeks — after being hospitalized with an unspecified illness. The internet was rife with conspiracy theories and conjecture. And, considering the dearth of information, I suspected the worst.My longtime colleague Jodie Curtis was on the line when I picked up. Jodie is a senior figure at Fox, forced into weekend overnight assignment editor duty because of an illness. Jodie calling to tell me that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was dead.”Graham?” I asked incredulously. “Not McConnell?”Emerging from my stupor, I instinctively presumed this might be about the infirm, Kentucky Republican. You’d have better odds presuming that overnight call was about McConnell than hitting an exacta wheel at…
