The following is from WWE.com:

Jan. 11, 2010: Mike Tyson

Very familiar with being the center of attention inside the squared circle, Mike Tyson is ready to return to the ring. Unlike old times, however, the former Heavyweight Championship boxer will not be slipping on the gloves and delivering knockout punches. He will, on the other hand, be delegating responsibility to WWE Superstars as Monday Night Raw?s special guest host on Jan. 11 from Minneapolis

---------------

Several WZ readers have sent in word that Sheamus' WWE Title Belt did NOT have his name engraved on it when he entered for his match on Raw last night. Generally, the title has the winner's name engraved on it within a day of the wrestler winning the belt. This was either an oversight on WWE's part, or a possible indication that Sheamus will not retain the title next week.

The Figure Four Weekly Newsletter is reporting that longtime WWE investor and Board of Director member since 2001, Michael Solomon, recently cashed in all of his WWE stock and walked away with $20 million. Solomon was reportedly unhappy with the way some aspects of WWE have been run lately, and with WWE stock being priced fairly high right now, he decided that it was a good time to get out of the company.

WWE Diva Mickie James has posted the following on her Twitter account, which seems to confirm Tommy Dreamer's departure from WWE:

"Just got back from a wonderful dinner w my 2nd fam! Saying farewell 2 a man who hs been a leader & inspiration 2 me since my ecw tryout 00" Who has given me the best advice In countless situations. Whom I could never repay but will always respect and love from the bottom of my Heart. There is but 1 Tommy Dreamer aka dream machine! You've paved the way for many. We all are grateful! I love you. Thank you! Muah!"

Why because Tyson will host on the 11th? Well WWE removed his name now and there's no mention of Tyson hosting on the 11th now.

Still, Rock will host, it's gonna happen.

Eventually...you need someone to counter the NWO over at Spike :p

There are mixed feelings on WWE champion Sheamus among those in the company.

Some feel as though his friendship with Triple H has been blown out of proportion, while others accuse him of being a shameless suck-up to him. It should be noted that he trains with Trips while on the road.

The word in the locker room continues to be that Sheamus and Drew McIntyre are favorites of Hunter and Shawn Michaels.

Just an FYI, if you've never seen Wrestling with Shadows (the documentary about Bret Hart) you can watch it here:

NFB.CA

It's 90+ minutes, and the full version with no ads or anything. Really good watch to get ready for Bret Hart to come back to WWE imo.

According to a source, current plans call for WWE to begin promoting Bret Hart's return to the company tomorrow night on RAW. They will presumably promote his guest hosting spot for January 4th, 2010.

Vince McMahon is scheduled to appear on the show to cut a big promo hyping Hart's return to television.

We reported earlier that DirecTV is featuring a preview for the January 4 RAW that reads: "Shocking Guest Host Bret The Hitman Hart returns to confront Mr. McMahon."

    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
