That wasn't a slip in. That was a direct reference. And its not really a reference to the shocker, its a reference to the two holes.

Still, it's ironic that earlier in the show, Vince catches Vickie in that pose with Hornswoggle and The Great Khali, then remarks "I thought this was a family show.", and then later on, Miz says that! :p

I thought it was sad that WWE gave away on Raw no less than 3 matches far and away better than anything from Final Resolution - that some people actually paid for. I also loved the crowd cheering for the Usos, especially on the first pinfall before the crowd knew it was elimination style. I wish I knew who it is that hates them.

There are reports that WWE has signed former DX member Billy Gunn (Kip Sopp) as a NXT developmental trainer. Gunn has done some work with developmental talents at NXT earlier this year and it was reported after RAW 1000 that officials may bring him back as a trainer.

WWE officials are looking to be more edgier with RAW. The feeling is that Vince McMahon isn't behind the new push but obviously is on-board with it. Vince realizes that numbers are down and it's said that he is open to suggestions.

With the low ratings, WWE officials want to put out a product that's a little different than what we've seen over the past year or so. We can also expect to see more wrestling-heavy WWE programming.

If that's true, THANK THE HEAVENS OF HHH AND/OR WHOMEVER IS DOING THIS.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those IWC weirdos that goes insane and wants the Attitude era back, since that'll never happen. But edgier, more wrestling heavy stuff is the exact thing WWE needs. It doesn't need to curse or have hot chicks running around doing weird things every single second. It needs Bryan vs. Punk or Ziggler vs. Del Rio etc in matches that last longer than 3 minutes.

Also, Paige.

I really hope it's true as well. It is possible to put on a good edgy show for adults without going back to the Attitude era. Just look at some of the other promotions (the bigger ones, obviously, like ROH, NJPW, TNA, CMLL, etc.). It's easily possible to put on a great show whether it's TV-14 or PG; it's just that if you're PG, you usually have to be a bit more imaginative...

WWE has started polling fans in focus groups online about what they live and don't like about the Divas division and what roles they would like to see the Divas in going forward. Some of the discussed roles beyond wrestling were love interests for the Superstars, General Managers, ringside managers, hosts for WWE programming, reality programming and dancers.

Anyone else think of the Nitro Girls at the end?

Oh, a couple of spoilers about to follow (one for Tribute to the Troops, and one for SmackDown)...

During the Randy Orton/Sheamus vs Dolph Ziggler/Big Show match it looked like Orton injured his right wrist/hand after punching Dolph. The ref immediately did the injured sign and a trainer tended to Orton during the match.

During this week's Friday Night Smackdown taping, Orton was put through a table by members of the Shield. WWE then announced to the live crowd that he may have suffered a concussion, as well as a separated shoulder.

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod. Acer 4K Webcam for PC/Mac with All-Metal Unibody Sculpted - $59.99 | 14% off Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195)

      By PWazzle · Posted

      Stop reporting AR glasses as an X inch screen, Y distance away. That is a horseshit meaningless spec. Report on the actual FOV angle. That's all that matters. And for the record, this FOV is ~49degrees. So we're talking about HoloLens level FOV... i.e. it's like looking through a piece of paper at arm's length.

      I bought a 4TB Samsung 990 Pro for $250 brand new during Black Friday, to give some comparison. Things are getting absolutely ridiculous.
