I enjoyed that PPV if only for the main event which had "this is awesome" chants and the silence when the crossface was applied (toned down just incase?)

Ziggler vs Orton was my favourite match and was not surprised Zigs didn't cash as he was probably dead backstage from the diamond cutter rko!

As reported over the weekend, Matt Morgan has returned to TNA. Morgan did have talks with WWE, but word is that a big part of Morgan's decision was going to be based on how he was going to be used in terms of importance for the company he signed with.
Don't expect the likes of Alex Shelley, Velvet Sky, Devon, Angelina Love or even Hall of Famer Ric Flair to pop up in a WWE ring anytime soon. According to sources, Vince McMahon's company is steering clear of any and all recently affiliated TNA Wrestling talent while the two grappling organizations do battle in court.

Good

  • JBL and JR together on commentary!
  • JBL and JR not caring about Twitter when Michael Cole mentions JR trending and trying to get a reaction out of JBL.
  • JBL ribbing Cole throughout the show and goading him to "say something predictable!"
  • Damien Sandow's promo. "Mr. Ross, 'slobberknocker' is not a word."
  • The crowd chanting "We want Nexus!" during Wade Barrett vs. Justin Gabriel.
  • Jerry "The King" Lawler reuniting with the doctor that saved his life.
  • CM Punk's entrance with Paul Heyman. Borrowing Heyman's watch, and then Heyman giving him a jumping high-five down the entrance ramp!

Bad

  • Ziggler being wasted on Santino this week.
    And the image planted into many minds when Vickie Guerrero was called a "snake handler".
  • Orton being wasted on Tensai.
    I can't even believe I'm saying that.
  • The Prime Time Players' promo.
    When Titus said "WE TAKE WHAT WE WANT", I immediately had
    going through my mind.
  • Eve beating Beth Phoenix. With a rollup.
    Yes, I still care about the Divas division, slightly.

WrestleCrap!

  • The shameful (even by American standards) Subway-sponsored segment.
    Although I wouldn't mind trying Damien Sandow's version: Cornish gamehen, gouda cheese, and zucchini on "lightly toasted fresh bread".

There has been chatter within WWE of expanding Saturday Morning Slam. Details are sketchy but apparently WWE is hoping the CW Network will give them an hour on Saturdays so they can air another TV show.

That show would be a show focusing solely on cruiserweights with Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara being the stars of the show. This show would see a lot of the indy talents that WWE has been looking at over the past year and a half.

It?s said that Vince McMahon is high on the idea of a cruiserweights TV show.

Cena is expected to recover in two to three weeks. An update on his recovery time is expected Thursday when he is reevaluated.

As more information comes available, WWE.com will inform the WWE Universe.

    • 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.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
