According to a report on PWInsider.com, Ring Of Honor (ROH) world champion Tyler Black has signed a contract to join the active roster in WWE.

ROH owner Cary Silkin has declined to comment on whether or not there's any substance to the Black/WWE reports.

As soon as more information becomes available, we'll have an update with the details.

undertaker is not on any of the lists....and how the **** does cena beat the rock..... most of the list is bs ( im am talking about the ppl i know, cant really comment on the ones i dont know)

Why would Undertaker be on any of the lists? He wrestles for a month, then takes off for 4 months. Been like that for years now. Not that I blame him mind you. Not to mention, Undertaker is not a mat wrestler, and the others (mostly) are.

As for Cena being higher up than the Rock, let's not forget the Rock only "wrestled" for a few years this decade (full time until what, 2002/03?). I'm pretty sure by this point (2010) Cena's a bigger draw, has sold more stuff and all that. Now if you include the mid to late 90's that's another story (maybe). As I said above, notice how Cena is in the "Best wrestler of the decade" line up but not the "Most outstanding wrestler of the decade" line up. Big distinction there. Not that the Rock was a great mat wrestler either :)

So, who's ready for Cena to turn heel at SS? ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

gotcha. Those were probably the only two i ever followed.

World Wrestling Entertainment has confirmed the death of former superstar Lance Cade. They released the following statement:

?World Wrestling Entertainment was informed Friday morning by Lance McNaught?s father that he has passed away of apparent heart failure. WWE extends its deepest condolences to the McNaught family.?

?Mr. McNaught was under contract from March 2003 to October 2008 and performed under the name ?Lance Cade.? He returned to FCW, WWE?s developmental territory, in September 2009, and was released in April 2010.?

?Lance Cade? is currently the top trending Twitter topic in the United States.

:(

And another young wrestler dies. Sigh. It's really disgusting at this point to be honest.

Not to lessen the fact that Lance died, but I thought some of you might like this podcast from ESPN's Bill Simmons. It's a 50 minute or so discussion with Shawn Michaels. He touches on quite a few things, his retirement, Cena etc.

It's the newest podcast (obviously.

The body of Lance Cade (Lance McNaught) was discovered by his father earlier this morning. Multiple sources are indicating heart failure as the cause of death, although nothing is exactly official until the autopsy report comes back in a few weeks.

Two family members believed there was something wrong with Cade over the past week, including his wife Tracy who noticed he didn't look healthy and that he was having trouble breathing. Cade was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday night and he was later released on Wednesday. He had asked to be released from the hospital on Wednesday claiming he was fine and felt well.

One interesting note is that once he returned home, he later left and never returned. There is a lot of speculation as to where he went and what he got. We're not going to report anything until we can get it absolutely confirmed. It's just not right to speculate so please give us some time to get the facts.

His father, Harley McNaught, noticed that Cade showed up at his work on Thursday and was not looking good at all. He later went to Cade's home in San Antonio, TX and discovered he had passed away. Cade was not believed to have been drinking although there may have been other issues.

McNaught was a student of Shawn Michaels, who he idolized, and had several runs with WWE since signing with the company in 2000 shortly after finishing his training and working for a promotion run by Michaels in the San Antonio area.

He was released from WWE in October 2008 after an incident on an airplane where he had a seizure, believed to have been due to use of either pain killers or muscle relaxers, and had to be taken off the plane. He was then fired.

While McNaught was initially upset about his 2008 release, saying others had done worse and not lost their jobs, he eventually came to grips with it in an interview where he said he only had himself to blame.

McNaught had two young daughters and a stepson that he's left behind. So sad.

On behalf of everyone here on this website we would like to send our condolences to the friends and family of Lance McNaught.

A federal judge sentenced Applied Pharmacy Services supervising pharmacist Michael Bennett to four years in jail on Friday after he was convicted of participating in a nationwide conspiracy to illegally sell anabolic steroids made in Mobile, Alabama. Prosecutors in Albany, NY referred to Bennett and his associates as "drug dealers in lab coats" in a sentencing memorandum.

Applied Pharmacy Services clients included TNA star Kurt Angle, former WWE performer Bob Howard (a/k/a Hardcore Holly), UFC fighter Shane Carwin, and several bodybuilders. All three were named as drug recipients in court on Friday. Court documents referenced five other professional wrestlers by their initials only.

HHH is at the Staples Center apparently for SS events. Whether he shows up on camera (as the leader of Nexus or something else) is another story.

The following are some combined messages from the official Twitter account of WWE Superstar John Cena:

"CeNation. Staples Center is somber, quiet. Calm before storm. I feel nervous, on edge. I want to thank everyone out there who has supported me over the years, as I feel this is one of the most important days in my career. In closing, I will say that if you do not watch SummerSlam tonight you will be missing an epic day in WWE history."

TEE HEE Heel Cena YAY. (I hope)

Wow, looks like big things are afoot when it comes to Cena, The Miz and HHH (maybe) tonight. As alot of wrestling news sites are reporting creative is torn between turning Cena heel or not, making The Miz a HUGE player tonight and whether to bring HHH back on camera tonight or not.

Should be interesting.

WWE.com just posted a huge booboo spoiler on thier site - daniel bryan returns LOL which they have removed instantly btw It said that Miz was miling the whole 7th man thing but that the 7th man turned out to be daniel bryan himself haha!

So far, I feel as if SummerSlam has been a bit of a drag. Very predictable so far. However, if Cena turns heel, that will totally redeem WWE (not that they care about my opinion, lol). I do not think he will though. I am not completely sure what will happen, but I mean look, Cena just came out with a brand new shirt/hat/armbands, etc. That is a pretty silly reason perhaps, but it just leads me to believe he will not be heel. Maybe Morrison? Not sure.

HOLY **** DANIEL BRYAN! OMG OMG OMG THIS IS SWEET!

Wow, WWE sometimes you are just retarded. You have a great storyline going with Nexus, have Daniel Bryan return, everything is going awesome (ha) with the Miz etc etc etc. And then you have SuperCena pull out the victory and beat Nexus and pretty much bury the whole storyline in a split second. Sigh.

Unless Cena helps Orton win and joins Nexus next or something big happens with Nexus and Miz etc, WWE just dropped the ball bigtime. Not really surprising. WTG Vince!

Wait, they already had the Orton match. NM, Vince is a moron. And Creative needs to get powerbombed.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
