Found a fan account of the CM Punk fan incident saying that the fan was repeatedly shoving him in the head beforehand.

At least the writers will have something extra to push Punk as a heel (if they're smart enough to do that, that is).

In case anyone here hasn't read, there's been a little shakeup in the creative team. Brian Gewirtz got removed from his position as senior vice-president of creative writing after more than 10 years earlier this month. His replacement is Eric Pankowski.

Vince has been reported as saying that he wants "results or resignations", so a lot of the creative team are fearing for their jobs right now.

Honestly if Vince doesn't put Paul Heyman on the creative team (even in a cursory role) than he really has lost total touch with wrestling and reality. I mean. Heyman helped out on the storylines in WWE 13' after all, why is that OK but TV is not?

From PWInsider:

In what I am told was a "scary scene" backstage at Raw about an hour ago, Vince McMahon pretty much told the WWE Creative team that he wanted to see things change and that no one's job was safe if they didn't.

Perhaps to illustrate his point, Bryan Gewirtz, who has been the top writer for the company for a long time and especially oversaw the Raw side of things (Dave Kapoor wrote the show but everything went through Gewirtz, then Stephanie and Vince McMahon), has been dropped from the creative team.

Also, why in the hell did they split Aksana and Cesaro up? Stupid. Not like they have other plans for her.

I don't know if it's just me, but I thought Aksana was holding him back. I like his current state, where he tends to let his actions do most of the talking. Now if the Swiss Death became a second finisher of his, that'd be even better. :)

Reporter Laura Cole posting the following update on the CM Punk fan incident from Raw on Twitter:

"Just talked to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department about the alleged incident involving a fan and @CMPUNK. The Department says they took a report about the alleged incident involving @CMPunk. They say the fan complained of knee pain. The Department says they will look at the alleged incident to determine whether to forward the findings to the District Attorney's Office. I only had a few minutes with the fan involved with the alleged incident before Deputies needed to speak with him for a second time. As of last night, that fan DID NOT say whether he would consider filing charges. I didn't get the chance to ask him that question."

Oh god, here we go...

TMZ is reporting Shelly Ehler took her 8-year-old son to a WWE live event and he left in tears.

Her son had a sign for Sheamus, who was taking on Alberto Del Rio that night, and Del Rio ripped his sign.

Ehler said her son was instantly terrified of Del Rio's actions and she called Del Rio a bully.

Del Rio would go on to mock her son crying.

Ehler wrote an angry letter to WWE officials and says, '"Take signs from adults NOT KIDS! My son was bullied by your superstars and it is not okay."

Ehler goes on to say Ricardo Rodriguez mocked her on Twitter but Sheamus offered to send her son a signed photo and meet him next time he's in town.

There's a video of the "incident" at TMZ

And this is RR's "mocking" tweet...

I get the feeling the mother is trying to claw more fame, as TMZ says she was on "Shark Tank" (which is the American version of "Dragon's Den").

I bet they have that fan on Raw next week and Punk has to apologise to him or something...that's something Vince would love to do :p

Shark Tank isn't really for fame, TBH.

what's the chances do you think of Ryback vs Punk and Cena as ref? so not to risk his injury

I don't know. How do you keep the belt on Punk and not have Ryback lose in HiaC? Thats why I think its going to be a triple threat and end with Punk pinning Cena after Ryback gives him a finisher or three.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
