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.

    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only.

      Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.

      I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.
