The new TBS show Power Slap: Road to the Title is generating controversy on social media because its sole premise is to watch men and women slap each other – sometimes to the point of unconsciousness.
A video tweet by Dr. Chris Nowinski, a neuroscientist and founder of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, has garnered more than 15 million views after showing a particularly disturbing moment from show, hosted and created by UFC president Dana White. In the first few minutes of the program that debuted Wednesday, a contestant named Chris Kennedy is literally knocked to the ground after the first slap by opponent Chris Thomas. It takes a few beats before Kennedy, who shows the tell tale signs of a concussion by clenching his arms and fists, regains consciousness after hearing a doctor tell him what happened.
“Got knocked out doing what, was I fighting?” replies Kennedy.
“This is so sad,” Nowinski tweets.

So, WWE have been releasing content about the beloved Attitude Era for years. Hell, they’ve been releasing stuff about it since that era ended in around 2001. Now, in 2020, we’re seeing a change in focus with WWE releasing content about the Ruthless Aggression Era, an era that occurred in around 2003 and would last a few years. Now… the title of this article is a bit of a strange one because I don’t want you to misunderstand, there was a lot to love about this era, but… there was also a hell of a lot of bad going on too.
This, for me, was the period of wrestling that I found it the hardest to sit through. I’ve been watching pro-wrestling now for over 28 years, but never have I found it more difficult to enjoy than during this time. Sure, we had amazing performers like Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit,...

The co-founder of the Boston University Cte Center believes Cam Newton suffered a concussion during Sunday's NFL playoff game ... and says Cam's excuse for going back in the game is a joke. The Panthers Qb was rocked in the 4th quarter of the Wild Card game against the Saints -- collapsing while jogging toward the sideline. He was examined by medical personnel and was cleared to reenter the game. Newton later said he did Not...

WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash will donate his brain and spinal cord to the Cte Center at Boston University and the Concussion Legacy Foundation after his death.
Cte scans and head injuries are issues that have received heightened attention in recent times, after former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan was forced to retire due to numerous concussions and brain trauma.
Now Nash has revealed that he too has suffered from concussions, which have led him to suffering from short term memory problems.
Speaking to Espn.com’s Michael Rothstein, Big Sexy said:
“Chris Nowinski started the program and I’ve had several concussions throughout my life and had scans done and stuff and knew that somewhere down the line, I’ve already had short-term memory problems. I decided to go ahead. The only way you can diagnose this is after you’re dead.

We live in a post-Benoit world, where the effects of multiple concussions are by now well-known. Whilst there has always been some knowledge of the effects of suffering repeat concussions, thanks to new research by the likes of former WWE star Chris Nowinski and the Concussion Legacy Foundation, WWE are extra careful when it comes to looking after the brains of their talent.
In the past, after a wrestler suffered a concussion it would have just been a case of either not diagnosing them or working through it. That old ‘on with the show/gotta gut it out’ old-school, nonsensical philosophy.
Luckily, that has changed, and it’s lead to the prolonging of careers and quite possibly the saving of lives. Just recently, the beloved Daniel Bryan was forced to retire because WWE refused to clear him for in-ring competition given his history of concussions and their resulting effects.

Over the course of four years, the Hardcore Championship changed hands 240 different times. That should tell you everything you need to know about the quality of this division.
To be fair, there were some legitimately terrific hardcore matches, and a few guys carried the title like pros. But for the most part, it was just a haphazard, silly little distraction from the real competition happening in the WWE. Maybe if they’d kept guys like Mick Foley involved (he was the first one to be awarded the belt, but only held it once before quickly ascending to main event status), the division would have stood a chance at legitimacy.
As it happened, the division was sometimes fun to watch in a “Why are they still allowing this ridiculousness to be televised?” sort of way, but that was about the extent of it. Most diehard fans viewed it as a gimmick title,...

Earlier this week, WWE announced that Tough Enough would be returning on WWE Network. While no date was given, it’s likely being planned as we speak if they were willing to mention during their latest conference call.
There have been five seasons of Tough Enough in WWE history starting in 2001. Notable names from that season included Maven, Nidia, Chris Nowinski and Josh Mathews, who is still with WWE as an announcer. The first three seasons aired on MTV. For the 4th season, they had a different format because they had the competitors traveling to Smackdown every week to compete in challenges that were aired during the show.
The most recent season of Tough Enough took place in 2011 with Andy Leavine chosen as the winner. A lot of fans didn’t like the choice because Leavine didn’t appear to be as talented as the likes of Luke Robinson...

The wrestling business has seen thousands of people walk into WWE and leave an impact on wrestling fans that we will never forget. Some people have careers in the ring that last over 30 years like a Ric Flair. Others have had really short runs like…The Boogeyman? Okay so we’re not going to focus on a guy like him in this column.
What this column is about is looking at WWE performers that called it quits before the age of 40. Why 40? Because a lot of wrestlers perform well into their 40s. If you start in your early 20s like a lot of them do then you’re talking about a 20+ year career in the wrestling business.
For this one, we’re going to look at five women and five men that left an impact in WWE that called it a career for one reason or another.

Amir here. With an unusually large number of high profile contenders and a recent overhaul in the branch’s voting system, the documentary category is sure to be one of the exciting races at the Oscars this year. There are a few films firmly in the conversation already, but I recently caught up with a contender that has curiously slipped under the radar despite the talent involved.
Head Games, the newest from Steve James (Hoop Dreams, The Interrupters) is based on a book by former WWE wrestler Chris Nowinski and takes on the issue of concussion in contact sports, a topic that is increasingly discussed among Football and Hockey enthusiasts in particular. James goes back to a more traditional structure in setting up his film with many talking head interviews and archival footage, but the end result is unexpectedly moving.

Title: Head Games Director: Steve James There may not be a more important documentary released this year for the general health of especially sports-playing American kids than ”Head Games,” director Steve James’ impactful look at the trauma inflicted by repeated concussions. Using Chris Nowinski’s November 2006 book of the same name as a leaping-off point, the film digs into chronic traumatic encephalopathy (or Cte) and its long-term links to memory loss, early-onset dementia, depression and even suicide. Nowinski, a former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler, knows of what he writes and speaks. After his professional wrestling career was cut short from the lingering after-effects concussion, he went on to research and write [ Read More ]

Chicago – A father speaks through tears about the teammates for his deceased son standing at the funeral in the balcony paying honor to their lost captain and it’s impossible not to ask the daunting question at the core of “Head Games,” the new documentary from the great Steve James (“Hoop Dreams,” “The Interrupters”) that opens this weekend at the Siskel Film Center – how much longer can this go on? How much longer can we let grown men and women ruin their lives by repeated head injuries the NFL, NHL, and other sports? And how long can we let kids do the same? As a reporter says candidly, “A lot of people don’t want to believe this is as serious as it is.” We have to start believing.

"Head Games," a new documentary from filmmaker Steve James ("Hoop Dreams"), revolves around one of the great public health issues of our time: the extreme risks of contact sports in America and the necessity for public awareness. Whether handling concussion or brain injury, James' documentary takes an inside look at the repercussions that plague athletes well after initial impact. Inspired by Chris Nowinski's book of the same name, "Head Games" follows interviews with athletes, coaches, and parents -- while utilizing medical information from the nation's leading experts to substantiate its claims. The trailer for "Head Games" reveals that the concussion crisis in America is only gaining momentum. Although many issues are discussed within the scope of brain injuries in sports, the central, philosophical question that the film hinges itself on is this: "How much of you are you willing to lose for a game?" ...

In 1994, Steve James followed two inner-city Chicago high school students as they pursued their dreams of becoming the next Michael Jordan in the critically acclaimed, must-see documentary Hoop Dreams. Two decades later, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker is back with another documentary about sports, this one focused on the growing awareness of the risks of long-term brain damage from blows to the head in football, hockey, and other contact sports. Head Games opens this weekend, and James talked to EW about why he decided to shine the spotlight on the epidemic of concussions among athletes, the NFL’s handling of the problem,...

Los Angeles, Sept 18 (Reuters) - When a concussion forced WWE's Christopher Nowinski to retire in 2004, the professional wrestler and former Harvard football player wanted to understand his condition better and set out to raise awareness for sports head trauma.
The result was his 2006 book "Head Games: Football's Concussion Crisis" and a new career as a concussion activist.
Nowinski's book is the inspiration for the documentary "Head Games," directed by Steve James ("Hoop Dreams"), which opens in theaters Friday. The film explores the concussion crisis in American sports such as football, hockey and soccer as well as wrestling.
Nowinski, who will turn 34 on Monday, talked to Reuters about his personal struggles with numerous concussions, his work in educating others about them and his efforts to encourage the sports industry to take measures to prevent them.

Today’s Hot Trailer: "The public health issue of our time"
As anyone who's ever played contact sports will tell you, injuries are an unfortunate, but almost inevitable, part of any game. But, whether the athletes are Pee Wee Football kids or NFL pros, head injuries can lead to permanent impairment and even death. In his new documentary, Head Games, Academy Award-nominated director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) documents the efforts of former football player and wrestler Christopher Nowinski to uncover the truth about the consequences of sports-related head injuries and to raise awareness of the seriousness of the topic among athletes, coaches, medical professionals and members of Congress.
"This is a film that I hope reaches a broad audience," said James after Variance Films announced that it had acquired theatrical rights to the documentary, "and, in particular, amateur athletes and their families — who really need to become better informed on this huge public health issue.

One of the bigger controversies of the 2011 Academy Awards was the lack of inclusion of The Interrupters, documentarian Steve James’ critically acclaimed look at a group of Chicago youth who look to provide alternatives to gang life for their peers, in the shortlist for Best Documentary consideration. Despite this, however, James has made quite a name for himself among film circles, and The Interrupters only added to the attention he’s brought on himself since his breakthrough documentary Hoop Dreams. In his latest subject, Head Games, however, James has chosen to look at an often overlooked aspect of sports, namely concussions and head trauma. With Chris Nowinski, an ex-football player and wrestler, as his guide, James explores the topic of head injuries in sports and what can be done to minimise their effect. A trailer for the documentary has now been released, which you can see below.

Coming off the fairly complex and ever-evolving issue of inner-city crime with The Interrupters, director Steve James is narrowing his scope and returning to an area that made him famous with Hoop Dreams. His next documentary, titled Head Games, returns to the arena of sports, but instead of an inspirational bent, he tackles the issue of head trauma with athletes.
Based on Head Games: Football’s Concussion Crisis, a book from footballer and WWE wrestler Christopher Nowinski, the film dives into the struggle that these performers have with speaking up against major possible damage, for fear of having to sit out in their respective sports. James has shown he can provide a wide range of perspective on issues, so I’m curious if these one will also pack the same length as his other sprawling docs. Check out the trailer below via Indiewire for the film also featuring interviews from Bob Costas,...
