The history books of professional wrestling are packed with stories about families that took part in the traveling caravan turned international spectacle -- a mere mention of names such as McMahon, Hart, Von Erich, Funk, Guerrero and so many more can mean so many names to those who know wrestling.
But there's one name -- Bevis -- that might become a household name in the future thanks to a feature film that's in the works and revealed this week from Seven Bucks Productions, which is a company helmed by Dwayne Johnson. He's a third-generation wrestling star you might know as The Rock and he's flexed plenty of muscle lately when it comes to entertainment ventures without ring ropes.
And who's Bevis? Thats Saraya-Jade Bevis, a WWE star from England who's known as Paige inside the ring and it's her story -- her family's story -- that's being developed into a movie. (Finally, we know what The Rock is cooking.)

"Hey, Lumbergh, you've got something on your tie."
"That's Yankee Stadium dirt, Peter."
It could become a reality soon thanks to Steiner Sports, which has taken game-used to a new area with material from the stadium world to the office space.

As the reigning National League MVP and a member of the World Series champion Chicago Cubs, Kris Bryant is on top of the baseball world right now.
And that place in the game comes with signing a lot of autographs -- and when it comes to baseball cards an exclusive deal to sign only for Topps' products.
"It's not too demanding for me. I feel like I'm kind of used to it now and I try to take the time for the fans to sign for every game and sign some autographs. My arm is used to it," he said on Wednesday as part of an event held at MLB Network headquarters in Secaucus, N.J., to note the arrival of 2017 Topps Series 1. "Winning the world series and having the year that we did. All of this comes with that territory, and I wouldn't have it any other way honestly."

Tom Brady may be the greatest in the history of the game but James White may have been the greatest in the game on Sunday night.
The New England Patriots RB scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime to cap a game here he caught 14 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown and rushed six times for 29 yards and two touchdowns.
That's not bad, so naturally where can you find an autograph for third-year pro out of Wisconsin?
Tom Brady is the greatest ... just take a look at his autograph prices

You probably have seen all of the on-field superlatives that add to the legacy of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and that debate that's really not a debate at all.
If he wasn't already (he was), his team's overtime victory in Super Bowl LI solidified that status on Sunday night in Houston -- but that's not the only way that it's obvious that he's the best.
The easiest way to know is to look at his autograph fees ... and, yes, he still signs.

You probably won't see any sports cards in commercials during Super Bowl LI, but there will be plenty of collectors watching those pricey spots and Buzz will share some favorites here as they arrive during the game.
Biggest question on my mind first is ... will PuppyMonkeyBaby make a triumphant return?
Which one is best? Be sure to tell Buzz what you think here or on Twitter. For now, here are the early highlights.
Super Bowl Commercial: Buick
Buzz's Take: "If that's a Buick, then my kid's Cam Newton." (Spoiler alert: Your kid won't be winning the Super Bowl then ... too soon?)Super Bowl Commercial: Kia Niro
Buzz's Take: Melissa McCarthy follows up her epic Sean Spicer SNL spot with a Super Bowl commercial where she shows you how "it's tough to be an eco-warrior."Super Bowl Commercial: T-Mobile
Buzz's Take: Gronk flexes his acting chops and Bieber tries to class it up (or something).More to come if you keep reading -- and more to come during the game, too.
Who are Super Bowl LI superstars worth collecting? Most are obvious ...

If you didn't know, Super Bowl LI is on Sunday with the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots facing off for top honors in the NFL -- something the Patriots have done four times and something the Falcons have come up short at grasping one previous time.
We all know the household names here and that list starts with the quarterbacks, Tom Brady and Matt Ryan, but we also should all know that this is one of those games where an unknown and cardless player could become a postseason legend like Malcolm Butler two years ago.
So, who else should be on the radar of football collectors already?
