Kevin Nash Slams Critics Who Were Mad At Goldberg's Comments About His Retirement Match
Kevin Nash isn't a fan of people giving Goldberg a hard time for having criticisms on how his retirement match was handled. On the latest episode of Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer spoke about Goldberg's recent comments on the Ariel Helwani Show, where he spoke about his criticisms of how the company handled his retirement match against Gunther. 'It's always these motherf—ers, man, that have never been in the ring, have never done anything in their life except comment on wrestling,' Nash began. 'They're saying, like, 'Well, Bill, you know, if I would have had that send-off, I would have been happy with just that.' How do you know? You never even had a f—ing match. How do you know, after f—ing all these years, that that send-off would appease you, dude? You're just f—ing happy jacking off talking about this sh–, like, shut the f— up. You're nobody. 'Bill didn't wake up one morning at 12 years old and go, 'I want to be a pro wrestler.' Bill tore his groin off the bone, playing for the Rams, and said, 'What am I going to do now? How about wrestling?' To me, I thought he did a really solid job. Kudos to Gunther, because Gunther kept him close. You could tell… they were working their way through things.'

Megyn Kelly Attacks Jennifer Lopez With An Unbelievably Vile Jab — And It's 'Harmful'
Right-wing pundit Megyn Kelly is not pleased with Jennifer Lopez's recent performances — and she's made that clear by hurling vile attacks at the singer this week. In a Monday post on X, formerly Twitter, the former Fox News host reposted a video clip of Lopez performing a steamy dance sequence with her dancers onstage during her current Up All Night summer tour, which kicked off in Europe earlier this month. 'So she's a soft porn star now. Great choices!' Kelly wrote in response to the video. She also dedicated some time to slamming Lopez during an episode of her podcast, 'The Megyn Kelly Show,' which was posted online Tuesday. Kelly criticized Lopez's thong bodysuit and the sexual nature of the performance. 'We see heinie with a thong and a man looks like he's giving her oral sex — like his face is in her crotch,' she said on her show, adding, 'She simulates actual sex acts ... though she's clothed, with a bunch of men wearing just pants and corsets, I guess.' 'She's 55 years old, and she hasn't come to grips with the fact that she's not a sex symbol anymore,' she later continued. 'I'm sorry, I can say this 'cause I'll be 55 in November. We're not sex symbols. We could look great for our age, we can rock a bikini in the right setting, that's terrific, good for us.' 'But asking the American public to look at you and be like, 'I want to have sex when I look at her' — that ship has sailed,' she added with a laugh. 'I'm sorry, it sailed with menopause.' Kelly has criticized Lopez before. Last year, she said that Lopez was 'past her prime,' and she suggested that the singer rekindled her relationship with her now ex-husband Ben Affleck to garner better press. Brandy Smith, a licensed psychologist with Thriveworks, said Kelly's recent statements criticizing Lopez's performance appeared to have had the intent to shame 'rather than to celebrate a woman's empowerment and sexuality.' 'There is likely some piece of it, conscious or not, connected to misogyny because it is suggesting that women should present themselves in a certain way and that a woman who does not present herself in a certain way is problematic,' she told HuffPost. Kelly has 3.6 million followers on X — and it can 'absolutely' be harmful for anyone to see those kinds of remarks about women,' said Tori Lyn Mills, a licensed therapist with Thriveworks. 'When someone with a significant platform shares commentary that reinforces narrow-minded ideas about how women should behave, dress or express themselves, particularly women in midlife, it contributes to the ongoing stigmas that limit women's freedom and visibility,' she told HuffPost. 'Public figures have a unique influence that comes with a responsibility to reflect mindfully on how their words may reinforce harmful cultural narratives, even if it is unintentional.' The sexual shaming of women is rooted in misogyny. 'In general, women often are not conceptualized as wanting sex, so while women are sexualized, it is seen as for the observer's pleasure rather than a woman wanting to lean into her own sexuality,' Smith said. 'And, women who exude sexuality are often viewed as promiscuous.' Smith explained that both of those ways of thinking 'interfere with the view that women can have ownership of their own sexual desire and power.' And misconceptions about women and their sexuality only increase as women get older. 'Women beyond a certain age are seen as sexual beings even less, so the idea of a woman within her 50s can be difficult for people to see as powerful and vital, much less sexual,' Smith said. Mills said that Kelly's recent dig at Lopez was 'typical sexual shaming,' which sends the message that 'confident, expressive women who own their sexuality should sit down and be quiet once they reach a certain age.' 'That kind of commentary isn't just judgmental, it's rooted in misogyny,' she added. Mills emphasized that much of the criticism Lopez receives has to do with her age, and it implies that 'a woman reaching midlife should no longer be visible, dynamic, or sensual.' 'It exposes a deeper cultural discomfort with women who defy age-related expectations and continue to thrive in the spotlight,' she added. 'Shame suffocates self-worth,' Mills said. Mills explained that when women are repeatedly judged for how they express their sexuality or how they dress, it can create a 'painful conflict between being true to yourself and conforming to societal 'norms'/expectations.' 'That dissonance can seriously damage mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and dysphoria,' she said. 'Empowerment starts with self-acceptance and that becomes extremely difficult when the world keeps telling you to tone it down.' 'Shame suffocates self-worth,' she said. Smith said that sexual shaming can impact the 'amount of energy a person may feel they need to exert to feel OK within their skin and with interacting with others,' and it can contribute to 'low sense of self, anxiety and depression along with potential disordered eating behaviors.' Overall, Smith said that as a society, we need to learn to stop commenting on others and objectifying women. 'Focus on what you are OK with for yourself and not policing others,' she said. Mills said society should 'embrace a more respectful and inclusive view of women's autonomy.' 'This means recognizing and challenging unconscious biases, rejecting the impulse to judge or control women's appearance, and allowing space for diverse expressions of femininity, age and identity,' she said. She later shared some advice to anyone who may feel tempted to police a woman's sexuality, or how she dresses: 'And if that critical voice creeps up in your head about a woman's body, outfit or choices? Press your top lip to your bottom one and keep it there ... because not every opinion needs a microphone.' Related...

Jose Mourinho dismisses Chelsea's Club World Cup success, hailing beaten finalists PSG instead - as takes a swipe at long-time managerial adversary Pep Guardiola
Jose Mourinho has aimed a thinly-veiled dig at both his former employers Chelsea and current Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola in an explosive interview. Mourinho, 62, is currently the head coach of Turkish Super League side Fenerbahce, who he joined in November last year. Ahead of the 2025-26 season, the Portuguese coach has aimed scathing criticisms at Guardiola and Chelsea. In particular, he appeared to call out Guardiola for 'dying with his idea' of playing out from the back when he joined Manchester City. He cited the Spaniard's decision to immediately replace England 's number one goalkeeper at the time, Joe Hart, with Claudio Bravo and later Ederson. Speaking to Portuguese TV channel Canal 11, via Marca, he said: 'If you die with your idea, you're stupid. Coaches have to adapt their ideas to what they have.' 'Playing from the back with a wooden goalkeeper is complicated. I remember Guardiola had Hart, the best English goalkeeper. 'But he wanted Claudio Bravo, but that wasn't enough. So he signed Ederson.' Later on in the interview, he also criticised Chelsea for what he appeared to perceive as focusing on profit by winning the Club World Cup. The Blues put in an impressive performance in the final of the competition to sweep aside Champions League winners PSG in a one-sided 3-0 win. Reflecting on the tournament, Mourinho added, via Abola: 'Okay, this Club World Cup also highlighted a kid who also had a great season at Chelsea, Cole Palmer. 'But this run to the semi-finals reminded me every time I went to the US for pre-season with Real Madrid, with Inter, it reminded me of those games we played there. 'So, I think this World Cup title is only important for Chelsea, as they'll sell a lot of jerseys with the logo there'. He continued by saying that he would pay more attention to the achievements of PSG as the most recent Champions League winners. Mourinho won three Premier League titles at Chelsea across two spells from 2004 to 2007 and then 2013 to 2016 After selling Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, Luis Enrique's side were the dominant force in last season's competition, beating Inter 5-0 in the final to win the trophy for the first time in their history. He added: 'I think PSG was the big winner this season , not because of what they did domestically, because they always win domestically. 'But winning the Champions League and the way they did, especially with the idea of losing their best player.'
