Raw SuperShow results: Brock Lesnar, General Manager John Laurinaitis fly off the handle

DAYTON, OHIO ? There is no rest for weary WWE Superstars. With the wounds still fresh from Extreme Rules, which included a savage battle between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, the focus turned to Raw SuperShow live from the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio. On Monday night, Lesnar proved why he's the most unpredictable force in WWE when he assaulted WWE COO Triple H, but it was Raw and SmackDown GM John Laurinaitis who delivered the biggest shock during a merciless ambush of the Cenation leader. Check out complete Raw SuperShow results, photos and exclusive videos right here on WWE.com.

Brock Lesnar assaulted WWE COO Triple H (PHOTOS | VIDEO)
Raw and SmackDown General Manager John Laurinaitis kicked off the show by saying the WWE Universe should be thankful that he brought Brock Lesnar back to WWE, especially after Brock engaged in a vicious showdown with John Cena at Extreme Rules.

Brock Lesnar came out to reaffirm the GM's words, but before he could get too far, WWE COO Triple H made his way to the ring as the crowd erupted. Triple H put his foot down and stated that Brock's days of "holding up WWE" are through. The Game told Brock that no Superstar is bigger than WWE and that the contract demands he "bullied" out of Laurinaitis are null and void. According to Triple H, if Brock wanted to continue to compete in WWE, he would have to do so under the original terms of his contract ? not under the terms he negotiated with the GM.

As The King of Kings turned to address Laurinaitis' claims that he was being "disrespectful," Brock flew into a rage and attacked Triple H from behind, apparently breaking his arm with the devastating Kimura Lock. WWE Superstars and officials then rushed out to assist Triple H as he limped back up the entrance ramp.

Stock Investing Basic Information | Free Finance Articles

Much has been written about investing in the stock market. If you read all that is written about investing it would take you an extremely long time and leave you more confused than before you began reading. So, what investing tips should you know about? Continue reading to find out where to begin.

Take care not to put all your money into the stock at your company. It is a good thing to show support with stock purchases, but loading your portfolio too heavily with one stock is not a sound investment. If you mainly invest in your company?s stock and it performs poorly or the company goes under, you would stand to lose a significant portion of your wealth.

If you are targeting a portfolio for maximum, long range yields, include the strongest stocks from a variety of industries. While every year the entire market grows at an average rate, not every industry or stock is going to increase in value each year. You can grow your portfolio by capitalizing on growing industries when you have positions in multiple sectors. On a regular basis, reevaluate your investments so that you can reduce the impact of losses from declining industries and increase your position in the ones which are gaining.

If you are going to purchase stocks, pay careful attention to the daily volume of traded shares. You should also keep any commissions for selling in mind when you are investing your money into the stock market. Obviously, low-volume stocks simply do not trade as much as high-volume stocks. In a few cases, it might be tough to sell your stock and you will be forced to accept a wide bid-ask spread.

To save money as you invest, look into online stock trading. There are many firms online which offer very low fees. It is important to find the perfect deal possibly by shopping around the Internet. TradeKing and Fidelity are two excellent choices.

Don?t invest in a company until you?ve researched it. Lots of times, people hear about some new business that appears like it?s going to be very successful, and then they decide they should purchase some of their stock. Then, this business does not do as well as anticipated, and the investors lose lots of money.

With smart, successful investment you should be able to buy a very nice 4 wheel drive car like an Audi A8 or BMW 7 Series with xDrive.

This article has explained everything that you need to know. The basics of investing and why you should consider doing so. When you were younger, you only had to worry about a day or two ahead of you. Now that you?re getting older, you may find it a safer financial bet to look further into the future. Now you are educated about investing, use this valuable information to start making money!

One Small Shift, One Big Change | TeamWILD: We Inspire Life with ...

At TeamWILD, we are guided by our mission to empower people with diabetes to take charge of their health by teaching how to be an athlete first, and a person with diabetes second.

This sounds slightly radical, right? For those of us who spent the summers of our youth finding a quiet, shady spot in which to read a book, it can be a big leap to self-identifying as an Athlete, never mind the diabetes part.

But, it?s not just the bookworms who take some time getting used to the Athlete mantel. As I put together my vision board, I pulled words and images from several health and fitness magazines. Not one of them used the term ?athlete? anywhere in their pages. Not the ads, not the articles, not the headlines or captions. All offered advice on getting fitter, stronger, healthier, faster, and finding the right gear. None suggested setting a goal of becoming an athlete, much less starting with that attitude shift. They don?t even refer to the professionals as athletes (Bicycling Magazine came closest with ?pro cyclists?). The absence of the word makes it seem an unattainable abstract concept.?

I can attest to the positive shift in the way I take care of myself because of this new title I?ve adopted. Putting diabetes second does not mean ignoring it. In fact I probably pay it even more attention, just with a different perspective. It seems to me this could easily apply to anyone, living with a chronic condition or not. Identifying as an athlete positively affects how you address the myriad choices you face every day.

Because I am training for an epic (for me) bike ride, I address my choices about what I eat and drink, how much I sleep, how often I test my blood sugar, etc. with those 100 miles in mind. Do I always make the best choices? No. (for a host of reasons including the fact that being my kind of athlete does not pay the rent) But I do consider those choices differently. Where I might have eaten an ice cream cone as a too-frequent act of defiance against diabetes and the d-police, now I consider how much I want it and how it affects my overall well-being. After a long ride, it might be the perfect thing. In the middle of rest week, I find I don?t mind skipping it.

I?m not saying this is a quick, easy fix, but it is the first mental approach to a significant lifestyle change that makes sense to me and is one I feel is worth working to hold onto after I finish that century ? starting with CampWILD where I will and you can take diabetes and exercise to the next level!

I must admit, this Athlete attitude has not spilled over into my logging habits. Something tells me I?m going to need at least another season to really adopt that good habit.
