So WWE hired back Eugene "Nick Dinsmore" about a month ago. As of today, they released him again. But apparently it was just a way to get Miz back on RAW (he beat him on RAW as a masked wreslter for a contract on RAW) easily. WWE still wants to use "Eugene" as a trainer in FCW, and they said this is more or less a way of killing off the Eugene character if they ever need him back on TV then they can bring him back on with a new gimmick (thank god). Eugene is an extremely talented wrestler, and should be on TV. But eh, whatever.

Also, looks like Linda McMahon may run for the Senate in Connecticut. If she does, she will step down as CEO of WWE, and Vince will take over as CEO in addition to being the Chairman of WWE as he is now. So, if she does decide to run for the Senate seat, don't expect to see Vinnie Mac on TV very often after that. Unless Vince is totally desperate of course (which he is at this point).

Yeah that was him. He was released because the TV ppl didn't like a Muslim character on TV, especially since he was slamming the US. Which is retarded. Wrestling has done those storylines a million times. Anyone remember Sgt. Slaughter turning HEEL and siding with the Iraqi staple? lolz

So, they released Hassan because 1. TV ppl wanted him off TV and 2. Creative couldn't think of a way to repackage him with a new gimmick since they knew people would always see him as that Hassan character (until he turns face that is of course). So yeah, stupid WWE. He was very talented. And for being so young (at the time) he was AWESOME on the mic to boot. He could have been the next Rock or Cena if you ask me if they worked with him.

I still can't believe they made Slaughter world champ because of that storyline lol

That's like Bob B. getting the title in the 90's for going insane that time and putting the chicken wing on what's his name lol I think he beat Bret Hart actually...yikes.

TNA World champion Kurt Angle was arrested in Robinson Township, Pennsylvania this morning. Angle's girlfriend, TNA Knockout Rhaka Khan, filed a protection from abuse order against Angle, which was served at his home this morning. Khan reported to police that she was at a Starbucks on the internet, when she claims she saw Angle stalking her.

She called 911, and police pulled over Angle in his girlfriend's car. When police searched the car, they found a capped syringe and two vials of "Hygetropin," otherwise known as HGH. Angle told them he had a legal prescription for the drugs.

The charges against Angle include: driving while operating privilege is suspended, prohibited acts-possession, harrassment and prohibited acts.

Angle is currently scheduled to wrestle in the main event of Sunday's TNA Hard Justice Pay-Per-View.

Kurt Angle has posted bail and has been released from jail following his arraignment this afternoon. From all accounts he will be allowed to travel to Orlando for tomorrow night's PPV.

Kurt Angle has the stamina to be in WWE, but I guess he is working with TNA just because it is less tough and Kurt gets a lot more free time to do other things, which he wouldn't get working with WWE because of tight schedule.

like get arrested? :rofl:

Kurt Angle was one of the best wrestler in WWE. HHH, Angel & Stephanie storyline was so great. In TNA he sucked lol :D

Until he became Godfather of the Mafia. Still surprises me how different he looks now than he used to. It's almost like seeing a completely different person than he used to in his early days on TNA and in WWE.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
