WWE Trying To Sign Kelly Kelly To A New Deal

Source: http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/6276/wwe-trying-to-sign-kelly-kelly-to-a-new-deal

According to sources, once WWE heard that Kelly Kelly was looking for projects outside of the company during her time off, there was a push to get her to sign a new deal as soon as possible. Kelly is still under a WWE contract but had taken time off due to feeling burnt out. The company feels that she is the most marketable Diva on the roster and they are willing to spend to lock her into a longer-term deal.

Among the WWE crew there is a feeling of burnout now that everyone is pretty much working every TV taping. With travel, many talents are losing the 1-2 days that they used to have to mentally and physically rest before going back on the road. There is a feeling among some that the Bellas, much like Jeff Hardy years ago, might have started a trend with the women, which would be to get out and take breaks as opposed to continuing the grind of the road.

*** My 2 Cents on This ***

Let's face it and be realistic. Kelly Kelly is nothing but a pretty face and body. She has absolutely zero wrestling skills. The girl totally sucks in the ring. The only reason Vince wants to keep her around is because she attracts a large portion of the male audience, which makes the company more money in ticket sales and TV audience. The only Divas that can actually wrestle in WWE is Natalia and Beth Phoenix.

Agree with everything you say there, although there are actually more than two competent divas on the roster. :p Yes, there is Natalya and Beth Phoenix, but you've also got Kharma (I know, inactive at the moment), AJ, Tamina Snuka, Layla (unlike Kelly Kelly, she actually managed to train herself into a competent wrestler), and Kaitlyn.

I really wish Trish and Lita were back. And Mickie James also if that was the case. I still can't believe that stupid Piggy storyline they did with Mickie before she wound up leaving WWE. Morons. Trish and Lita are both obviously in terrific shape and could still tear the house down probably if they got in a ring with say, Beth Phoenix and Kharma etc. But, they are "retired". Meh.

I know, funny huh lol

And wasn't the top moment Kurt Angle debuting? Eh, I would figured one of the AJ Styles/Samoa Joe/Christopher Daniels matches from years ago would be the top moment. But hey, what do I know about TNA....

yeah those matches are the ONLY reason to watch TNA

Piggie James wasn't why she left. She was forced out because she kept trying to bang Cena. Now that he's getting divorced, I can see them bringing her back.

Everyone forgets that AJ is an actual wrestler. Yes, shes small ... but if they would give say her and Natalya 10-15 minutes, they would put on one heck of a show.

Oh I know the Piggy James story wasn't the reason she left, I was just using that as an example of the moronic creative minds at work in WWE. And she left sorta right after that storyline, so I'm sure some people probably figure it's why she left. Meanwhile, she lost weight during that period and bulked up a bit if I remember, so hey if she's a Piggy James, I'll take it!

Remember that picture of her you sent me Rappy? YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I MEAN TEE HEE.

We can now confirm that Alberto Del Rio is off WWE's No Way Out pay-per-view. For those who haven't heard, Del Rio suffered what has been described as a "severe concussion" at last week's WWE SmackDown tapings.

There will be a major angle on RAW tonight where they will announce Sheamus' new opponent.

it's going to be Zigs I am predicting!

Only thing that would have made it more epic is if Frankie Stechcino and Cory Matthews were at ringside.

Also, it's SO obvious AJ is gonna help Bryan win at the PPV lol

I wish it wasn't so obvious though. :p While I'm obviously hoping Punk retains, I'm hoping they don't go down the obvious route and see if AJ actually helps Kane. That'd definitely cement her crazy chick status. :p

Didn't Tori and Lita both get into relationships with Kane? Maybe there's something about a crazy, psychotic monster that attracts sexy WWE Divas :p

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
