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.

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.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
