Yeah but the Rock said he was still going to do something "big and unique" with the WWE (probably towards Summerslam I'd gather).

Just don't expect him to ever wrestle again. Maybe a rockbottom or two, but not wrestle :(

Why not?

Jeez.

Why not?

Because he's made it very clear he never wants to step into a wrestling ring again and wrestle. Not to mention it would be "beneath" him now as a Hollywood actor to wrestle. As I said, a rockbottom or two, maybe even a bump or two wouldn't be out of the question to do a storyline for TV or a PPV. But most people believe there is literally a 1% chance the Rock will ever wrestle again.

Of course, if his movie career keeps going the way it's going, he'll be wrestling by the end of this year :D

WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Superstar Charlie Haas as of today, February 28, 2010. We wish Charlie Haas the best in all future endeavors.

While nothing is finalized, WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin could end up as the final guest host of Monday Night RAW on March 15 in San Diego, CA.

The original plan in WWE was to end the guest host angle at WrestleMania, however there has been talk of extending it with TNA moving to Monday night's starting on March 8. Austin is the last guest host listed by WWE as nothing has been announced for the March 22 show, the final RAW before WrestleMania 26.

It should be noted that Austin posted the following tweets over the weekend: "no middle fingers in san diego. the system has changed a little. im cool with that. times change...". He then tweeted: "stone cold can easily be pg. no problem."

Why is the WWE suddenly getting rid of so many wrestlers?

Which of those released wrestlers had any real value? Not that it was their fault, though. Except maybe Maria. She has definitely always been something to look at, and not a good wrestler.

Charlie Haas could have done something - but I guess there was no storyline to fit him in.

So they could have been special if WWE would have let them.

Contrary to speculation that WWE would be ending the RAW Guest Host angle after Steve Austin hosts on March 15th, WWE.com has announced that MLB great and WWE Hall of Famer Pete Rose will be the guest host of the March 22 edition of Raw.

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that the early plan for next year's WWE Hall of Fame is to base it on a WCW theme. Since WrestleMania is being held in Atlanta next year, which was the base of WCW operations, WWE is considering inducting names like Sting (assuming he's not working with TNA) Lex Luger, The Steiner Brothers, The Road Warriors and other notable WCW names.

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

Thanks to Antonio Figueroa for sending this in: Caylen Croft and Trent Barreta's profiles are now on the SmackDown page, so it appears the tag team is now part of the SmackDown brand.

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

The following is from OVWrestling.com:

WWE has recently come to terms on a Developmental Contract with OVW Superstar Asher Knight.

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

WWE has announced that the Raw after WrestleMania on 3/29 will be hosted by the cast of the upcoming film Hot Tub Time Machine. The film stars Rob Cordry and Clark Duke amongst others, but as of now WWE is advertising "the cast" of the film as the guest hosts and no one in particular.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By freedonX · Posted

      When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
