And Brett was screwed by vince real time, so he would never come back, at least in WWE.

don't forget Owen either he died during a live PPV due to an accident something I am sure Brett never forgave the WWE for

Bret and Vince have gotten past the "Montreal Screwjob" crap already. Why do you think Bret was inducted into the HoF and had that awesome DVD set? Bret said he's willing to do WWE TV now, I don't know how much more specific you can get that he's open to working with Vince et al again.

As for the Owen Hart thing. Bret didn't blame WWE specifically for that, he blamed the crew and people involved in the stunt that killed Owen.

And for those of you who keep saying how awesome it'll be to see Bret wrestle Shawn Micheals or whatever...the man had a stroke (because of Goldberg, thanks idiot!) and can never wrestle again. I don't even think he'd be willing to take a bump as a GM or anything. Why risk another stroke, or some horrible thing happening to him for a simple bump?

CHRIS JERICHO has urged WWE boss Vince McMahon to ditch the company's old guard in favour of promoting new talent.

Despite himself being a 19 year-veteran, the 38-year-old Canadian claims the world's leading wrestling promotion is in danger of going stale if the likes of Triple H, Undertaker and Shawn Michaels continue to dominate the spotlight.

Jericho insists rising stars like Legacy, Morrison and Jack Swagger can safeguard the long-term future of the company if McMahon gives them the opportunity to do so.

Former world heavyweight champion Jericho said: "Creating new talent, creating new stars, that's the most important thing for any of the brands to do.

"They have to keep the wheels turning ? they can't just base it on the same guys year in and year out. That's how business fails ? that's how WCW failed."

Speaking to Slam Wrestling he added: "We have some young guys that are ready to grasp it and there are other guys that aren't. They're going to have to speed up the process a bit.

"I think that Morrison is learning more each week, I think Dolph Ziggler is learning more each week, Cryme Tyme have learned a lot over the last few months.

"Legacy is getting there, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston and The Miz ? those are the guys that are going to have to start becoming more of a presence.

"A couple of guys in ECW, like Evan Bourne... Sheamus is another guy that I think has some potential.

"So now is the time, we need these guys to step up. But some guys just aren't capable ? they're not ready because they don't have the experience yet.

"But as long they are improving every week, those are guys that I kind of see as being the next wave of the company when my generation of guys is retired or not at the same level as we are now."

Yeah Jericho is just all kinds of awesome. It's a shame he plays a heel so good, I'd much rather he got cheers as a face for some reason. He just totally seems like a nice guy and really down to earth and totally into the wrestling biz, which I respect big time. I hate to see him as a heel and being booed :(

Yeah, but at least it's a "love to hate" boos rather then actual "i actually hate you" boos (see post above) :p

That would be retarded. Rock, who hasn't wrestled in WWE since like 2004 or 2005 comes back for WM and just beats Undertaker to end his streak? Very doubtful. More likely, Rock will challenge him for a WM match, and lose to put Undertaker over even more as he heads towards retirement.

Alright, after all the negative stuff I've said about Rock over the past few years...that was just awesome. And really shows how much the WWE reallllllllly misses him. Besides Jericho and a couple others, NO ONE cuts promos like him. Plus, he's just hysterical in that bit.

I'm still sure he'll get booed a ton if he hosts RAW (he got booed on SD! after all lol) but he'd win them over pretty quick. And guess what? I get this weirdo vibe from him now...that maybe he'd get in the ring again. One last big match at WM for sure. But who knows. The crowd sure loved him at the end, and considering how funny he was and how "family" oriented WWE is now, Rock would be an awesome addition to WWE right now.

But, I'm not holding my breath :(

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
