Yeah, neither Punk or Cena need the rub, but the dilemma with ending Taker's streak is that you can't really give the honour to someone outside of their position (establish main-eventers who are practically considered veterans of the industry now). And, well, there aren't many others who you could realistically see being suitable to end the streak. Yeah, physically you could give the task to, say, Big E Langston, but imagine the levels of rage that'd invoke! :laugh:

I think Vince would give it to Ryback if Taker would do the job.

Realistically, Sheamus could use it because he's not completely over either.

I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a swerve and did a no contest finish.

I was thinking that the match never gets started officially.

Cena just said he's looking forward to the Fandango match. Sounds like everyone likes Johnny Curtis (and Jericho, obviously).

Wrestlers to have their first on-air WWE/F match at a WM (after Sunday): Fandango, Big E Langston, and Undertaker.

As much as I would love to see Punk beat Taker and all, I just don't think it's going to happen. Realisitically (for wrestling lol) Taker's streak is a pretty big deal at this point. Now I'm sure Taker himself would have no problem letting someone beat him, after all he's always put over other talent and he's just a great company guy. But Vince probably doesn't want the streak to end. Punk doesn't need the rub like you guys have said, neither does Cena obviously. If anyone should end the streak it should be an up and comer (and not some fad like Ryback, seriously let's be honest about him) who has a bright future and everyone agrees on it. Someone like Cody Rhodes or Wade Barrett for example, could totally use the rub of that kind of victory.

But it would also have to be a clean victory for someone like that. If it was Punk (or hell Cena etc) a dirty win would be acceptable, even expected. But in the end, I just don't think the streak will end. Taker has at most one more WM after this I think, and at this point he should just retire with the streak intact.

Actually, Undertaker had his first on-air WWF match at Survivor Series. I think I heard mention of a woman having her first match at WrestleMania too, but I can't find it at the moment.

Wow, you're right.

As for the women - I'm referring to actual wrestlers, not one-time or very part time like Floyd Mayweather or Akebono.

That's what I was referring to as well, but the tweet I saw was probably including celebrities, which would mean they were thinking of Snooki... :/

Rumors are going around about Cesaro and Kaitlyn being involved in matches, so it makes sense they have workout videos.

- There's a possibility Kaitlyn and AJ will be added to the Tag Team Title match, with the Divas Title also being on the line.

- With Sin Cara now cleared to work in the ring, we might get Cesaro vs. Sin Cara for the US Title.

    • 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.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
