Sunday Link-Off: It’s the Law

candice-swanepoel-maxim15-03I kind of wanted to title today’s linkdump with a bit of a Judge Dredd reference but this title fit best. I’ve finally caught up on my back issues of Judge Dredd. Now it’s to catch up on Justice League and Superman. I don’t even have that big a file at my local comic book shop and I’m always behind. Some people order in like five times the number of comics I do. How can they pull that off?

Anyway, it’s Sunday which means that it’s time for the links. Something like nine months after being named Maxim’s hottest woman of 2014, we finally have Candice Swanepoel’s Hot 100 shoot. It’s too bad that there’s only one photo that’s remotely SFW.

And after the CM Punk interview on Cabana’s Art of Wrestling podcast, the pair are being sued for $1 million in a defamation lawsuit filed by WWE doctor Chris Amann. Presumably, this was prompted by the NXT crowd chanting “Z-Pak” at him during last week’s live show. (With Spandex)

Scottish wrestling star Grado uses Madonna’s Like a Prayer as his theme music. Now that he’s made the big time, he wants to keep using it. The problem is Madonna doesn’t want to license it and wrestling fans and Scots are petitioning her to change her mind. (BBC Newsbeat)

The NFL Scouting Combine is underway. The main event of the week? The 40-yard dash. Why is it the make-or-break test for NFL prospects. (Yahoo Sports)
