One of the most surprising events of the WWE in recent weeks was certainly the release of Zelina Vega by the company, which, did not appreciate the decision with which Zelina Vega, regardless of the ban imposed by Vince McMahon, continued to use prohibited tools like Cameo, Twitch and even opening a profile with a name different from that of the wrestler on the well-known company OnlyFans. Through a podcast, Ryback clarified one of the doubts regarding Zelina's dismissal. Rumors on Zelina Vega During his Shooting Blanks Wrestling Report, former WWE wrestler Ryback talked about how the superstars of Vince McMahon's federation may have sent messages of support to the girl, but in reality, they do not want (or cannot) publicly support Zelina Vega.Ryback pointed out how this complicates the plans for the unions as without the public solidarity of other wrestlers Zelina will have a hard time defending herself. Here are his words: "I have decided to support her and the criticism of WWE and that is really good for me.All this really bothers me, Zelina is a really talented girl and I have to say that I understand both sides and I don't want to talk bad about…

How Among Us can bring your family together during the coronavirus pandemicAmong Us by Innersloth is an enjoyable and exciting social deception game that is fun for the whole family. The game was released in June 2018 but did not hit huge success until earlier this year.I have played Among Us with gamers, 8th graders (my students), and now family and friends over Thanksgiving as a replacement to family game night. It has proven to be a way to enjoy others’ company while maintaining social distance and safety during the coronavirus pandemic, and I highly recommend it as a way to get the family together virtually over the holidays.Fun for the whole familyThe beauty of the game, aside from the fun graphics and smooth gameplay, is that everyone can have fun playing. The learning curve is pretty low, and there are a variety of strategies that can be effective. If you play with the same group for a while, it is fascinating to see how everyone adapts.The biggest surprise to me about Among Us is that everyone I have introduced the game to has taken to it like a fish to water. For example, my mother, a woman who has…

There are few topics that come to mind when talking about chess. Both positive and negative. The mystique of advanced minds that are capable of get several steps ahead of your opponents, the geopolitical battle that surrounded its heyday in the Cold War, the almost identity challenge posed by the confrontations between its great teachers and computers … But also games that go on for hours to end in a draw. Or the sensation for those who observe it from the outside as a game that is gradually losing weight among the youngest. But not much less. Chess is right now living what some call a ‘second golden age’. There are many keys that have contributed to this definition, but the premiere of the Netflix series, ‘Lady’s Gambit’, It has only been the last one, the icing on the cake. “The premiere and especially the success of the miniseries has helped to underpin a trend that had already been on the rise for several years. Chess has adapted to the internet perfectly, and above all it has managed to attract new young players through it but it has also converted the older ones ”, he says. Luis Fernandez Siles, FIDE…

But Zelina Vega opposed WWE's edict and even tweeted her support for the idea of unionization in pro wrestling. Vega then continued to maintain her Twitch and OnlyFans accounts, which prompted WWE to fire her two weeks ago.Ryback believes that what WWE did was not only ethically wrong but may have been legally wrong as well. He talked more about Vega's firing on "Ryback TV Shooting Blanks Wrestling Report With Raj Giri.""If she never signed any paperwork with them, I promise you what they did was probably illegal. Now they can say they fired her for other reasons outside of that, but I think it was pretty apparent they made an example of her because she didn't go along with the flow on the Twitch like everybody else," said Ryback. "What they do is they create new paperwork. This is what they did when I was there. They herd the talent into a room and they force you to sign. They are literally adding to the contract. It really puts people in a tough position because you're damned if you…
