Speaking of Sandow...

Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes have been getting great support backstage with the right people. PWInsider.com says that Vince McMahon is a huge supporter of both guys, but really likes what Damien Sandow has done. With talks of splitting up the team in the next few months, it would not come to a surprise if Sandow went straight to the main event picture, while Rhodes would be the biggest question mark.

In January of 2012, WZ reported that WrestleMania 29 would be taking place at MetLife stadium in New Jersey. We also reported that Dallas, Texas was a front runner for the location for WrestleMania 30. Obviously, after concern from fans regarding the outdoor weather at that time of the year, it was eventually confirmed that WrestleMania 29 would in fact be taking place in April at MetLife.

WZ has now learned that Dallas will not be the location for WrestleMania 30. At the time of our report 10 months ago, Dallas was the location named by Vince McMahon himself in private meetings. McMahon's hope was to occupy the huge stadium that is home to the Dallas Cowboys for the milestone WrestleMania and he made that intention clear. Scheduling issues at the stadium in Dallas ultimately prevented the negotiations from being completed.

As of now, WZ can exclusively report WWE is looking at New Orleans and the Superdome to host WrestleMania 30 in 2014. One source told us that it wouldn't be safe to call it "official" until an actual announcement is made by WWE, but that the negotiations seem to be going smoothly and both sides are in the final business stages.

Wish they'd consider having it here at Wembley Stadium. Over 90,000 capacity (maybe 100,000 when adapted for wrestling), and this week's shows in Birmingham proved we still care about WWE, so it'd almost certainly be a sellout.

Honestly, I'd love to see it at Wembley Stadium also. But for my money (and it'll be the first WM I've bought since WM 20 before it) it just should be held in Madison Square Garden. I know it's no where near the size of most other venues but, let's face it - MSG is WM (and WWE's 2nd home).

Anyway, I'm enjoying all the moronic and slightly disgusting talk on wrestling forums so far today since the election ended, going crazy thinking Vince is gonna bring back the Attitude era stuff now that Linda lost her 2nd election in a row etc. LOL @ them. Just isn't going to happen guys, sorry. If you think Cena is gonna turn heel and then violate AJ while she's sleeping then AJ will give birth to a puppet head that looks suspiciously like Punk....think again!

Would have to start it at midnight local though, they wouldn't even consider having it on tape-delay in the US.

Former WWE Champion John Layfield just announced on his official Facebook page that he has signed a brand new full-time contract with the WWE.

"Very happy WWE and I have worked out a deal for me to return on a full time basis. There came a need when my friend Jerry Lawler had a heart attack and was not able to work, however, I realized how much I enjoyed being back and this was the basis for my decision to return."

According to JBL, he and Josh Matthews will make up the Smackdown announce booth on a weekly basis from this point forward. JBL will also join Michael Cole and Jerry "the King" Lawler on commentary for all pay-per-view events for the foreseeable future.

At this time, the weekly status of Hall of Famer Jim Ross is unknown. You can view the full Facebook post from JBL here.

He makes Smackdown better...Josh Matthews needs to disapear

I would love him to be replaced by William Regal, but then there's that old unwritten law of never having all announcers heel. Maybe Road Dogg then? Or Matt Striker, even.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

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

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
