They really can't strip Punk of the title, if they want to continue his "title reign" storyline etc, not to mention they want him to face the Rock at RR and all that crap. But then again if he's really injured that bad and can't wrestle for like, 2 months, I would think Vince is insane for not stripping him of the belt. A month, or a few weeks are fine, he can still do TV, but 2 months or more is really pushing the bounds of what people expect from a champion defending his (fake) belt.

There has always been the '30 day rule' in that you have to defend your title every 30 days. Now, I realize they can do whatever they want, and they would ignore it if The Rock became champion, but if they want to keep it enforced (as Punk is a heel), then they have to get him through a title defense before the end of the year. He defended the title 11/30 at a house show, and was in action at a show 12/2 but didn't defend the title. Conveniently they are taping Raw 12/29 (a Raw/Smackdown double taping) to air 12/31. So they'll have Punk defend his title that night against someone, maybe even have him get intentionally DQed/Counted Out quickly. That gives him until RR to get 100% healthy and not break any established 'rules'.

Ah yes, forgot about that 30 day nonsense they have. I can see that scenario playing out. Totally.

I thought of that as well, but then I remembered WWE haven't enforced the 30 day rule in years. People mentioned it when Santino Marella was US Champion; he went almost two months between defences one time (April 29th ((Extreme Rules)) to June 25th ((RAW))). And it's not just Santino... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1150396-wwes-lost-art-what-happened-to-the-30-day-title-defense-rule

...you guys are not going to believe this. Kevin Matthews, a former WWE developmental talent, has claimed that Bill DeMott once forced male talent to train naked. He's tweeted a picture too, which I'll link instead of actually embedding. Obviously, it's NSFW. You have been warned.

That guy is total bull****. He's just butthurt because he couldn't cut it in WWE. Bill DeMott is a highly respected guy in the business and has been for years now. He wouldn't be where he is in WWE if he sucked or did things like this. Not to mention that picture proves absolutely NOTHING. Who are those two? When was it taken? Where is DeMott supposedly laughing there (and making them do it)? etc etc.

Whatever Kevin Matthews. Post real proof of your accusations before you make a fool out of yourself. Oops to late.

Remember: Just because they didn't defend it on TV doesn't mean it wasn't defended.

They did skip it with Air Boom, but that was more out of the necessity of the tag team division being dismal.

It looks pretty old. Thats a New Years Revolution banner. Last held in 2007 (not sure what year the banner is from). When DeMott was a WWE competitor, not a trainer. And if it was after 2007 and the banner stayed up, DeMott had left WWE then. I doubt it was still hanging around in 2011 when he returned.

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time

      By Malisk · Posted

      I have this one and it's great, also paired with a Mac. I like the white back aesthetics of it and ability to have all your wireless usb peripherals under a clean lid. 4K @ 120 Hz and 65W usb-c charging is not bad even at its typical price point. The U series is probably better for commercial photo work though; IIRC one reason this one is priced in a different bracket is because it's not calibrated and verified for optimal color accuracy. Not something I think of in daily use, coding, and light gaming though.
