Today's top sports stories:

The International Olympic Committee voted to drop wrestling from its schedule for the 2020 Games via a secret ballot during a meeting in Switzerland. Instead of eliminating the pentathlon, like many expected, the IOC decided to scrap wrestling.

Apparently kids need more "variety" today. That is one of the reasons why Fred Flintstone has been replaced by a professional wrestler on the Fruity Pebbles box. Although it is a "limited" run (only four million boxes), apparently John Cena is just the first of many people who will be gracing the brightly colored cereal's box.

Professional wrestlers may seem like tough guys, but underneath their shiny spandex outfits and long, flowing hair (clearly a sign of ultimate masculinity), they have hearts of gold. Daniel Bryan, for example, recently met with a seven-year-old boy who has had brain cancer for almost four years, and says he's Bryan's biggest fan. It's okay if you need to go grab some Kleenex before you look at the

Wrestling is a brutal sport. Even if you’re in a more – we’ll call it choreographed - league, the moves are physical, require skill and can be rather punishing.

Aaaaaand just to get your weekend started off right, here's a video of Honey Boo Boo hopping into the ring at a pro-wrestling show. The show was held by the Georgia Independent Wrestling Alliance, and the Thompsons happened to be guests. Apparently (but not surprisingly) they've been going to pro-wrestling events since before being catapulted to fame...

Wrestling and rock ‘n’ roll have long been synonymous with one another. Whether it was Alice Cooper’s celebrity appearance at Wrestlemania III or growing up listening to Hulk Hogan’s unforgettable 'Real American' theme, the two go hand in hand.

Former WWE star Shawn Daivari recently put his skills to good use, saving the day when a passenger went crazy on a train in Minneapolis.

Wrestlemania 28 was held on April 1, 2012 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida. The 78,363 fans in attendance saw a fantastic show with two title changes, one continuation of an unprecedented undefeated streak, the end of an era in the WWE, a new GM of both brands and a WWE Legend adds to his legacy.

The Elimination Chamber, quite possibly the most brutal and vicious match ever created by the WWE, is a massive structure standing at 16ft high and weighing just under 10 tons. It is a true highlight of the PPV year for wrestling fans. Many wrestlers have entered and few have been the same after the match. With 13 total chamber matches taking place since it’s inception, it’s safe to say there have

Last week, we covered the wrestlers you probably thought were alive, but are actually dead. Today, we talk about the ones still walking the Earth that people think have passed on.
