I gotta admit that bump Cena took off the stage into the search light thing was pretty good looking. Did you guys see the way Edge like was going "huh!?!?!" at the end there. I seriously hope they turn him face already. It's been so long since he's been "funny". Maybe he can pull an HBK and say he lost his smile and seeing Cena injured made him feel bad and seeing Christian again made his smile return. Heh. Probably not though.

So about RAW. Holy crap! MVP getting a main event push finally?!!? And The Miz maybe also?! I loved Cena screwing Big Show out of the match at the next PPV.

Personally, I want to see more of Steamboat. My god can he still go at it or what? WM26: Steamboat vs. Flair omgz. Steamboat begs Flair to have one more match, just with him because he's been wrestling again and he just has to end his career (again) against Flair. Heheheh.

Hell has frozen over. HHH Lost!

Holy crap, I remember a time when this was deemed an impossibility. Then again, I also remember a time when Orton won the title (Evolution days), and HHH screwed him over and got the title off of him a month later :p

Some interesting stuff coming from the WWE shareholder meeting!

* Vince McMahon said that he is not interested in running an MMA promotion.

* Vince McMahon said that WWE is looking into creating a Wednesday night TV program. He feels that it would not be overexposure due to the huge number of TV stations available & that being on TV every weeknight would make it easier for the fans to follow along with the storylines or catch up if they miss any of the TV shows.

* A shareholder requested the creation of a WWE affinity program. Vince McMahon agreed to look into possibly doing that.

* Donna Goldsmith said that WWE has major marketing plans for Summerslam 2009, including a huge party leading into the event. Vince McMahon predicted that Summerslam 2009 will sell out.

* Donna Goldsmith said that WWE has upcoming meetings with the USA Network & CNN regarding marketing.

* Vince McMahon said that Playboy wanted to work with WWE again this year, but Vince turned down the offer because of WWE's new "PG environment".

* Vince McMahon announced that WWE has signed a deal with Pepsi.

* Vince McMahon said that WWE was planning a tour of China, but ran into some problems. He feels that China will be a big part of WWE's future.

* Vince McMahon said that WWE is considering canceling it's tour of Mexico in late May due to the swine flu outbreak. He also announced a Mexican tour for October of 2009.

* Vince McMahon partially blamed the decline of pay-per-view buys on more fans choosing to watch pay-per-views with each other rather than individually ordering the pay-per-views.

* A shareholder asked if "Mr. McMahon" could be the person who ends the Undertaker's WrestleMania undefeated streak. Vince McMahon said that him ending the streak would probably anger a lot of people, so it's unlikely to happen.

* Vince McMahon said that both him & his wife will be participating in all of the upcoming earnings conference calls.

* Vince McMahon said that him appearing in a movie would be a bad idea due to his lack of patience & time.

* Vince McMahon said that holding WrestleMania overseas would be difficult because it would have to air live in North America. He mentioned that Summerslam 1992 from London, England aired in North America on a tape delay & it ended up being a bad business decision.

Forgive me for dumbness but what is MMA?

Please, dear god, please don't make another brand to make a major show on wednesday, we already have enough as it is with Raw, ECW and Smackdown, and I have no intention of missing my weekly dose of ghost hunters for this wednesday brand.

No clue what that means.

* Donna Goldsmith said that WWE has major marketing plans for Summerslam 2009, including a huge party leading into the event. Vince McMahon predicted that Summerslam 2009 will sell out.

Cool, Summerslam is like the second biggest PPV behind Wrestlemania

* Vince McMahon said that Playboy wanted to work with WWE again this year, but Vince turned down the offer because of WWE's new "PG environment".

WWE.. PG.. Environment? Yeah, smackdown is very PG with those girls dancing.

* Vince McMahon partially blamed the decline of pay-per-view buys on more fans choosing to watch pay-per-views with each other rather than individually ordering the pay-per-views.

And that's a bad thing, how? There's nothing wrong with pay per view party, I always have it with my friends. It's not like you're going to lose a lot of money compared with what you're making you know -_-

* A shareholder asked if "Mr. McMahon" could be the person who ends the Undertaker's WrestleMania undefeated streak. Vince McMahon said that him ending the streak would probably anger a lot of people, so it's unlikely to happen.

One has to wonder just how much longer that Undertaker could keep going until he retires, the guy's getting old. I'm under the impression that he might retire any time soon. Every year I keep expecting him loosing which would turn out to be a retirement match. This year was so epic though.

* Vince McMahon said that him appearing in a movie would be a bad idea due to his lack of patience & time.

Haha, I wonder what brought that on.

* Vince McMahon said that holding WrestleMania overseas would be difficult because it would have to air live in North America. He mentioned that Summerslam 1992 from London, England aired in North America on a tape delay & it ended up being a bad business decision.

Totally agreed, since all PPVs are live. No many people is gonna want, nor are they going to be able to watch a ppv say .... Judgement day at 3 or 4 pm because it's gonna be hosted in London live. (I'm only giving an example geez)

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
