Available across the U.S. and Canada, 'The Border Brawl' will take place on May 25, at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre on the Canadian side of the border — proudly billed as 'the prettier side of the Falls.' With politicians deadlocked and trade talks in a chokehold, the only solution is a no-disqualification, international slobberknocker inside the squared circle.
Forget diplomacy — this one's going to be settled with piledrivers, fisticuffs, and a whole lot of trash talk. The live and streamed event starts at 5:00 pm ET followed by a fan meet and greet. The entire show will stream exclusively and for free on Zone·ify, available on Roku, Fire TV, Google Android TV, Comcast Xfinity TV, Cox Contour TV, Rogers Xfinity TV, Videotron Helix TV, Buckeye and MaxxSouth TV, Smart TVs, mobile devices, and the web.
Starting next week, fans can purchase tickets for the live event at https://zone.tv/border-brawl.
In the spirit of unity and impact beyond the ring, proceeds from all ticket sales will benefit nonprofit organizations that support injured veterans and service members in their journey of healing and recovery. By attending The Border Brawl, fans will not only witness an unforgettable night of body slams and border pride — they'll also be supporting real-life warriors who've fought for and served.
'At Zone·ify, we figured if trade negotiations are going to be a circus, we might as well sell tickets,' said Doug Edwards, President of Zone·tv. ''The Border Brawl' is what happens when you give international policy a kick in the a** and let it settle things in the ring. It's absurd, over-the-top, and somehow still makes more sense than real-world diplomacy. We can't wait for fans across North America to witness the madness live on May 25.'
It's a trade war grudge match of tariffs, armbars, and slams, wrapped in a 51 st State flag. Team USA brings its swagger, oil, bourbon, and oversized egos, with Team Canada countering with politeness, softwood lumber, beer, and ice-cold vengeance. Only one nation walks away with bragging rights—and the other might get launched over the falls in a barrel.
'The Border Brawl' will include some of the biggest names in professional wrestling, who will be there alongside TNA fan favorites. They include:
Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake – WWE Hall of Famer, and the original bad boy of barbershops. Expect snips, smirks, and sharp jabs — verbal and literal.
'The Mountie' Jacques Rougeau – Canada's proudest export with a taser in one hand and the Intercontinental belt in the other. He's not just bringing the law — he is the law.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson – UFC legend. Global superstar. Wild card. If diplomacy had an enforcer, it'd be him.
Kelly Kelly (Barbie Blank) – The American icon returns ringside with attitude, sparkle, and slaps for anyone underestimating Team USA.
The TNA lineup for this exciting event will be announced soon.

Craven and dishonest: Behind the Toronto bid to censor an Oct. 7 documentary
The folks in charge of the Toronto International Film Festival now claim they were never going to prevent the screening of a documentary that tells the truth about Hamas' horrific Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks — but the disclaimers are so hedged (and dishonest) that you still can't be sure the show will go on. First and foremost is the absurd excuse that TIFF's lawyers supposedly thought the filmmaker needed 'legal clearance' to use clips of the savagery as filmed and livestreamed by the terrorists on their GoPros. That is, permission from Hamas to use footage of the terrorists mauling women and slaughtering innocents. Nonsense: Several other movies have already used such footage; one of them, 'We Will Dance Again,' won an Emmy in June! Rather, this was obviously a wormy way to get out of showing Canadian director Barry Avrich's 'The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue,' which shows how retired Israeli Gen. Noam Tibon rescued his family and other survivors of the Oct. 7 attacks. Because the truth might make viewers more sympathetic to Israel. Of course the TIFF folks carefully didn't complain about that, though they did say the risk of protests against the movie might also make it impossible to show. (We've also heard suggestions that festival staff were threatening to walk off the job if the documentary wasn't scrubbed.) Sorry: Admitting you'll censor in the face of such threats makes a mockery of TIFF's vow that 'we will defend artistic excellence and artistic freedom.' And falling back on spurious worries about terrorists' intellectual-property rights is still blatantly knuckling under to the hecklers' veto. Cameron Bailey, the TIFF CEO, denies 'censorship' was ever in play, claims he's 'committed' to showing the film and has his legal team 'considering all options available' to somehow show it after all. We understand not wanting to admit that Israel-haters are running the show at your festival, but Bailey's careful hedging shows that he's not even certain he can defy the antisemites' wishes.

Fortnite login is down
Epic Games is looking into a Fortnite login issue that's 'preventing players from getting in reliably,' according to a 6:39PM ET post on the company's status website. I currently can't get into the game on my Nintendo Switch 2; when I try, the game shows a message that says 'unable to sign in to your account for online services' and to 'please try again later.' I've seen Twitch streamers who are trying to compete in a scheduled tournament that aren't able to log in or play games, either. In another update, Epic says that the login issue also affects two of its other games, Rocket League and Fall Guys. The company has also shared that it's looking into login errors for 'titles using Epic Online Services' as well. Fortnite dealt with an extended downtime last year during the launch of its Greek mythology-themed season. In 2021, the game's servers went down for a few hours near the end of the year.

A Source Reveals Why Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Are 'Just Casual'
THE RUNDOWN Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are keeping things informal as they continue to spend time together. A source speaking with Entertainment Tonight said the pop star and former Canadian prime minister are 'having fun together and getting to know one another.' 'Justin is charismatic and has great energy, which is exactly what Katy wants and needs at the moment,' the source shared. 'For now, things are just casual.' The insider also commented on Perry's dynamic with her ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom, from whom she split in July after six years of being engaged. The pair also shares a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy. According to the source, Bloom is 'doing his thing and dating,' but 'things still aren't great' between him and Perry. 'Their relationship is a bit awkward and strained,' the insider said. Perry and Trudeau first sparked romance rumors in late July when they were seen together on a three-stop date in Montreal. They were photographed walking in Mount Royal Park, dining at Le Violon, and then having drinks at Taverne Atlantic. Two days later, Trudeau attended Perry's concert in the city with his daughter, Ella-Grace, where fans saw him singing along to 'Firework.' Earlier this month, a source told People, 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes. She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.' 'Their own personal responsibilities could make this relationship move slower than it would,' the source added. 'But there are ways to see the other and still fulfill their parenting responsibilities. For one thing, they each have an ex. So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two.' Neither Perry nor Trudeau has publicly commented on the nature of their relationship.
