Suffix with Beatle or Wrestle
Answer:
MANIA
Hint:
5-letter answer
Explanation:
This clue plays on the suffix "-mania," which means an intense enthusiasm or craze. "Beatle" refers to the Beatles, and when you add "mania," you get "Beatlemania," the term for the fan frenzy around the band in the 1960s. Similarly, "Wrestle" points to "WrestleMania," the famous annual WWE event, making "mania" the shared ending in both cases.
