Yeah it's to bad WWE seems to be happy with letting Henning rot.

To be fair, had already had a big shot. He failed. He will get another. His biggest mistake is not using his father's name. That would instantly get him over for the people that didn't know that fact.

Yeah Michael Cole always mentions it as well which makes you wonder why he isn't using the name

True, but I'm pretty sure (as it's been reported before several times) Vince and upper management didn't want him to use his father's name. Which doesn't make much sense considering how popular he was and all, but whatever.

Also on Santino's Youtube show, HE'S HYSTERICALLY funny on there. I mean, like, really good. WWE should take notice, if they haven't already. Then again if they are letting him train with The Rock, they must trust him pretty good in the ring for starters. Now they just need to trust him outside the ring, which he has proven he's already very capable of doing.

Yep, way to get people to buy the PPV, by spoiling the results of the two biggest matches on the card (I will be happy as hell if I'm wrong)...

buying a ppv? I thought everyone watched it online or had one of them modded digital cable or satellite receivers.

** hasn't paid for any ppv since 2008

it's kinda funny that the worst promotion seems to have the best tv show

Yep, that's how I found out about the awards, through this Botchamania post...

Everyone's posting the WON 2012 Awards but here's the weird thing:

''Tag Team of the Year: Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian)

Best Gimmick: Joseph Park, Esq.

Best Weekly Television show: TNA Impact Wrestling

Worst Promotion of the Year: Total Nonstop Action Wrestling''

TNA's best year in...years and they still can't catch a break.

Oh, and clock some of the names on the list! Chris Jericho (40/1), John Morrison (50/1), MVP (50/1), Shelton Benjamin (66/1), Road Dogg (200/1), Billy Gunn (200/1). I'll just say according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, one of those names has been confirmed to appear in the rumble alongside another name not listed there, and there has been a rumour going around that John Morrison's appearing too, but that's not confirmed.

Obviously if anyone is stupid enough to bet on this, fingers crossed they're not so stupid that they bet on anyone who isn't John Cena (8/13).

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

      By C:Amie · Posted

      Yay, a forced new tab telling everyone edge just updated with a load of advertising in it twice as often as we currently get it. That'll never be abused. 😏

      I wonder if it was applying secure boot certificates/dbx files?

      I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns

      By zikalify · Posted

      Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
