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.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
