Forgot to say that Botchamania ending is in a separate video now. Favourited. :)

I'm watching this week's SmackDown! now and they brought up the triple threat main event from last week, and I just remembered that I forgot to say something on here after last week's SmackDown!...

Randy Orton came in and RKO'd Mark Henry with the referee seeing it clear as day and just telling off Randy, meanwhile Cole says, "Remember, there's no disqualification in a triple threat match!"

SINCE WHEN WAS A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH ALSO NO F**KING DQ?!?!?! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Rosa Mendes suffered a wardrobe malfunction during a dark match against Natalya at last night's SmackDown! taping in Roanoke, Virgina.

The match ended abruptly with the referee calling for the bell and giving the victory to Natalya. Mendes covered her chest with her arms and quickly headed to the back while numerous male onlookers cheered at ringside. Natalya attempted to keep the focus away from Mendes as she acted overly excited about the win.

The Roanoke Civic Center staff were overheard saying Mendes had suffered a "wardrobe malfunction."

Mendes commented on the matter on her Twitter account, writing: "A wardrobe malfunction that everyone wanted to see tonight."

After speaking with sources I have learned the early plans as of now for next years WrestleMania 28 card.

Obviously The Rock vs John Cena and the plan is to have the WWE title be on the line in that match.

The Undertaker vs Chris Jericho would also be on the card. A rematch between Triple H and The Undertaker is rumored to take place at this years SummerSlam.

Triple H would go to WrestleMania next year going up against The Miz.

Alberto Del Rio vs Randy Orton.

Sin Cara vs Rey Mysterio.

And the celebrity involvement that the WWE is hoping for is Big Show in a match against retired NBA star Shaq.

These plans are all subject to change between now the start of 2012 based on injuries and other factors. As of now, this is the card that the WWE is looking to have for WrestleMania 28 in Miami.

Whoever that guy is, just wrong wrong wrong.

Cena vs Rock will not be for a title. Period. Match is going to draw the same number no matter what. Putting the title on Cena doesn't help the buy rate at all. And The Rock will not win the title, so you'd know it would be a Cena victory (since a Cena DQ would not please anyone.) Put the title on someone else for the 'Road to Wrestlemania', and let that match draw some attention and PPV buys.

They don't know if UT will EVER wrestle again, let alone at SS in three months. He wouldn't have had Michelle leave the WWE if he was going to be back soon. So that throws out the UT/HHH match at SS.

Hunter has a lot more responsibilities now then he ever did. He's being groomed to take over for Vince. He might never wrestle again, either. And Jericho said recently that he has so many opportunities that he doesn't know when he'll be back.

ADR vs RKO - they aren't currently on the same show. They aren't going to move Orton off Smackdown. Hes the headliner of that show now. So Del Rio back to SD? Doubtful.

Sin Cara vs Mysterio - yeah, probably. Rey is going to retire sometime soon, so they'll want to have that match to put Sin Cara over before that happens, and at a major PPV. Again, they are on opposite shows, so something has to give there.

Show vs Shaq - I could see that happening, except for one thing - its in Miami. Unless they make Shaq the heel (has that ever been done with a celeb besides Tyson?), that won't go over well in Miami. There are plenty of celebs that would go over huge at WM in Miami. Shaq isn't one of them.

I doubt the fact that 2 "superstars" are on separate shows matters for WrestleMania as the big one always has cross brand match ups. Usually the tension is built up from the Royal Rumble.

I agree that The Undertaker probably won't return until WM and that will probably be his swansong. I think they will pull out the stops for that one and put him in with someone bigger than Jericho.

Sin Cara vs Mysterio could be a show stealer if they get it done properly!

Uh, what cross brand match ups have we had at WrestleMania, besides none? Yes, the Rumble winner can choose to go after the the other title, but besides that ...

Mysterio sucks, and Sin Cara isn't as great as they build him up to be. I have no interest in that match.

Cena is injured so Truth to win strap?

What?! Please let that be true! :woot:

BTW, apologies for not knowing that Triple Threat matches have always been no-DQ. I always thought they were the same as normal matches? I swear I've never seen anything DQ-worthy happen in a Triple Threat match before. :pinch:

yep

Current WWE Champion John Cena is working through a number of injuries these days. Sources indicate that Cena has neck, hip, and elbow problems that have been bugging him for awhile now. It should be noted that despite these nagging injuries, Cena is rarely one to complain.

Let's pray

he loses the title to R-Truth at Capitol Punishment then!

:)

If he wins though, he's really got to get a proper entrance again. Imagine the WWE Champion's entrance: "THE TRUTH!!! Shall set you free!" *no music* Bit of a disaster.

:p

I LOVE the no music entrance. Its awesome. R-Truth winning would be unbelievable. He'd be the first ever black WWE Champion.

Yeah, I like it too. It's different. :)

And technically, The Rock was the first ever black WWE Champion. Remember that storyline when Rikishi ran over Stone Cold, he said that he did it to get black wrestlers in the spotlight, which is what happened when The Rock became champion.

As for the first black world champion ever, that honour goes to Ron "DAMN!" Simmons. :)

The Rock isn't black. He's Samoan.

Yeah, but wasn't Rikishi referring to black wrestlers in general, and he just included The Rock and his father and grandfather?

No idea. If he's storyline 'black' thats one thing (I guess he was, being in the Nation and all). But in reality, there have been no black WWE Champions. A few in WCW, and many have held lesser titles.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
