Wait for this weeks smackdown match b/w Sin Cara and McIntyre. Sin did 1 botch :p so he is the same old guy lol

I feel for him really, everyone thinks he is this awesome high flyer which he is but its difficult probably to pull those moves off and everyone now knows him as a botcher!

Thing is that forums on ewrestling say that when hunico was sin cara black he didnt botch as much as the real one....... so it is quite odd. I know how difficult it must be to do those high flying moves but still he botches a lot more than rey (when he was primarily a complete lucha libre high flying monkey)

Numerous sources within WWE say Kelly Kelly has been granted "time off" by organization officials. She has been on the road full time since her 2006 debut and requested the break to recharge her batteries.

"She's been here since she was a kid," said a company source. "She had been pushing for time away to spend with her family and her boyfriend. Six years for someone of her age is a lifetime. She needed a break."

Many of her colleagues don't believe Kelly's returning anytime soon, if at all, since she has begun promoting her alternative stage name (Barbie Blank) and is currently accepting requests for appearances and endorsements outside of WWE. She added the following information to her Twitter account over the weekend: "Barbie Blank/Kelly Kelly, WWE Diva, MAXIM Cover Girl and 100 Hottest Women. For full appearances/endorsements please contact Heidi at [email protected]."

Kelly last competed on television on the May 21 Raw SuperShow, losing to Beth Phoenix. She last wrestled on May 26 in Quito, Ecuador.

-- WWE is planning to treat the 1,000th RAW on July 23rd like a PPV caliber event.

-- WWE has reached out to dozens of legends to appear at the show, including Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes, Sgt. Slaughter, Jim Duggan, Gene Okerlund and Jimmy Hart. They have also reached out to many names from the attitude era.

-- WWE is considering having Bobby Heenan make an appearance, but his health situation might prevent him from appearing.

-- Similar to the Old School RAW they did back in 2010, they are looking to incorporate several vintage production techniques to the show.

-- The plan is to announce several big matches for the 1,000th RAW and then promote them like a PPV.

-- WWE has reached out to The Undertaker to appear, and if he is appearing, they plan to also announce that ahead of time and promote it as much as possible.

Alberto Del Rio did not appear as scheduled for Saturday's SmackDown live event in Salisbury, Maryland, which would confirm reports that he suffered a concussion during last Tuesday's SmackDown taping in Columbia, South Carolina. WWE officials brainstormed alternative scenarios Friday in case Del Rio is unable to wrestle Sheamus at No Way Out on June 17.

Looking to get under the skin of the World Heavyweight Champion, Del Rio brought out Ricardo Rodriguez on this week's episode of SmackDown to make light of the Irish brawler by mimicking his distinctive red hair, outfit and gestures. The real Sheamus then appeared, where the fight would eventually spread to the steel stage. The Celtic Warrior slammed Del Rio's head against the metal WWE logo, leading to his possible concussion.

At Saturday's house show, Sheamus defended his strap against the winner of a match pitting Kane against The Great Khali.

Yeah, sucks about Del Rio. It seems he can't catch a break with injuries now. I'm still waiting on Ziggler's outcome though. I'm not super hot about him (um that sounds nasty but you know what I mean) personally as a talent, but I can admit the guy can wrestle good, he sells like nobody's biz, and he's pretty good on the stick also.

Shame WWE is going to ruin him also probably.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      Wow, Microsoft IS cooking lately... This only shows that they COULD improve, they just chose not to for whatever reasons. That obsession with AI was destroying them from the inside out.

    • BATorrent 4.1.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      BATorrent 4.1.0 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN toolsβ€”interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data β€” picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds β€” automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters β€” match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings β€” custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download β€” matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection β€” never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed β€” works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading β€” stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding β€” lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection β€” identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch β€” automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume β€” resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support β€” SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering β€” load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management β€” control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits β€” set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range β€” configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control β€” choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex β€” automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby β€” same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown β€” automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 4.1.0 release notes: A community-driven release: everything here came straight from your reports and requests. It closes the remaining gaps with qBittorrent and fixes the Windows settings/tray/splash issues several of you hit. Fixed Settings now actually save. A whole class of preferences β€” speed limits (and the alternative limits), max active downloads, seed ratio, listen port, max connections, DHT/uTP/encryption, VPN interface, kill switch and proxy β€” weren't being persisted and reset to defaults on every launch. They now round-trip correctly. (Thanks to everyone who reported "the upload limit always goes back to 0".) Splash and tray toggles stick on Windows. Turning off the startup animation (or "close to tray") no longer reverts β€” the Windows registry stored these booleans as integers and the UI was misreading them. Close-to-tray hint. The first time the window hides to the tray you get a one-time notification, so the app doesn't look like it vanished (Windows 11 tucks new tray icons into the overflow). macOS Dock icon size. The icon filled its canvas edge-to-edge and rendered larger than neighbouring apps; it now uses the standard safe-area padding. Native file picker language. The "Torrent file / All files" filter in the open dialog follows the app language instead of being hard-coded. Added β€” qBittorrent parity Alternative speed limits toggle β€” a turtle button in the toolbar flips your throttled limits on/off instantly, independent of the scheduler. Follow system theme β€” switch light/dark automatically with the OS (Settings β†’ Appearance). Pre-allocate disk space β€” reserve the full file size up front to reduce fragmentation (Settings β†’ Downloads). Recheck data on add β€” optionally force a hash check when adding a torrent, so existing or partial files on disk are detected. Port status indicator β€” a πŸ”΄ dot in the status bar shows whether your listen port looks reachable (UPnP/NAT-PMP + listen state; fully local, no external check). Add torrent from URL β€” File β†’ Add torrent from URL (Ctrl+U) fetches a remote .torrent and routes it through the normal add dialog. Export .torrent β€” right-click a torrent β†’ Export .torrent to save its metadata file. Already there (in case you missed it) Watch folder β€” auto-add .torrent files dropped into a monitored directory (Settings β†’ Files). This release just surfaces it. Incomplete files already carry a .!bt suffix until they finish. Under the hood Regression tests for the settings-persistence and Windows boolean bugs. A new Qt Quick Test harness covering the startup splash and the design-system widgets.

      Disabling open on hover, great! That was so stupid! They need to do a fix, where if a network share is disconnected, it doesn't hang when opening "This PC" for 20 seconds.
