Just saw this story courtesy of Wrestling Memes...

Former WWE superstar Chris "The Masterpiece" Masters saved his mother from burning to death by uprooting a tree with his bare hands and using it as a battering ram to enter her house.

Masters -- real name Chris Mordetzky -- tells us, he rushed to his mother's L.A. home yesterday after his uncle called and said a neighbor had gone crazy and barricaded himself inside her house.

When Chris showed up, the neighbor was shouting through the front door that he would burn the place down if anyone tried to gain entry.

Chris says he tried talking sense into the guy, but he wasn't having it -- so Chris called the cops ... but when they showed up, the neighbor set the house on fire.

Chris jumped into hero mode -- tearing a tree out of the ground and tossing it through a window.

Chris reached through the window and removed his mom from the inferno ... at which point police rushed in and arrested the neighbor on arson charges.

The man is currently still in custody. It's unclear why he snapped.

One thing's for sure ... Chris does a mother proud.

News overload! Got three stories here...

According to PWInsider.com, Punk is expected to remain off Raw live events for the short term after WrestleMania as well so that he can heal up nagging injuries. WWE feels CM Punk has helped carry the company in recent years so in order to protect their investment Punk is expected to take some time off house shows following 'Mania.

One that'll probably p*ss off any Americans in here...

Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting WrestleMania 29 earning more revenue than last year is very likely.

The price for standard definition viewing of the pay-per-view has increased $5 for this year making it $59.95 and the price of HD has gone up to $69.95 to purchase WrestleMania 29.

Based on annual trends of repeat viewership numbers and people continuing to move to HD, there's a projection of an extra $900,000 profit for WrestleMania 29 at the minimum.

And finally, one that'll probably p*ss off everyone in here...

We announced a few days ago that WWE was hiring for a new "Vice President of WWE Kids Entertainment". The Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE wants to promote their product even harder to kids and families. Specifically, they want new ideas and initiatives to push the product strong to mothers and their children.

For the new VP position, WWE wants someone with at least ten years of experience in kid programming and is very in tune with pop culture and current trends.

...and begin raging.

Just watched through SmackDown (actually watched the international version for once to save time), and this picture definitely seems to ring true now...

CM Punk's seemingly cold-hearted tirade last week during the WWE tribute to Paul Bearer wasn't at all what it seemed ... because we've learned Paul's family gave its stamp of approval before the shenanigans.In case you missed last week's RAW, the WWE aired an emotional tribute to the late Paul Bearer ... and smack in the middle, CM Punk attacked another wrestler (Kane) with Paul's urn.Paul's son Michael Moody tells TMZ, the act of desecration was pre-planned ... WWE's creative team approached Paul's family for permission before the stunt unfolded on live TV.The team wanted to use the diss to promote next month's Wrestlemania battle between Punk and Undertaker ... and Paul's family was down with it.Michael tells us, "We felt that dad would have wanted us at RAW last week and agreed to the angle ? We knew Dad wouldn't have wanted it any other way.?

I saw a good comment on Bleacher Report yesterday on how to appease both sides of the spectrum: split them into their own shows. Have SmackDown for the kids, and RAW for the adults, as well as their own PPVs. Run it a bit like the old draft and have superstars exclusive to each show, with the occasional crossover on Main Event, and the big four PPVs (could also use that to change titles between shows).

To be honest, that was pretty obvious. Paul himself would have probably approved it too. The only thing I don't want to see happen is for him to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year; it would make it seem like a kneejerk reaction. Would be best to wait until next year to induct him.

I was just out with the dog and thought exactly that, have a separate tv show for adults and a separate one for adults, would work perfectly!!

Myself and a lot of people have been a fan of the Rock for many years.......

But what he is doing to this year's WrestleMania is just horrible. And a couple of pages back said everything: Not ONE house/RAW/SD show.

Which is why I refuse to buy/watch WM this year, its utter BS after WM I am back full time because I know the Rock will lose and Cena will reign supreme

    • 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.
