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.

      I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.

      Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes. Winhance also supports installing or removing software efficiently, including external apps via WinGet integration, streamlining both new setups and daily maintenance. New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions. It's regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest Windows updates and features. Winhance key features: Debloat Windows – Safely remove unwanted apps, features, and legacy components.

Automation with WIMUtil – Create custom Windows ISOs with integrated settings. Autounattend.xml Generator – Automate Windows installations with preconfigured options. Driver Integration – Include current system drivers in custom ISOs. Non-Destructive Changes – Reversible settings with clear explanations in the GUI. Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode β€” build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page β€” the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History β€” Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support β€” Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom β€” press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent β€” error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features β€” they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
