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.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I totally agree no one should trust governments AND big tech companies that have near monopolies in certain market segments. The difference is of course citizens at least have some say in government. Yes, requiring Apple to open up Sirsi to other AI backends is in the interest of EU customers and certainly "opens" up the platform a crack. What are you saying? I wish the US would regulate tech companies more here and even break them up in some cases. Granted trusting the government to do it right is a crap shot at best but what is the alternative? To allow a few tech companies to continue to run everything and just print money? It's crazy to me for example that in most of the world 99% of communications go thru Facebook servers via WhatsApp. What kind of dystopian world are we living in?
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      You can.. make sure you have ADB tools on whatever OS you are running, plug your phone into your PC give it approval to talk to the phone then run this command. adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome So long as you leave Android Webview untouched it wont break anything on your Phone to do this. I have been using exclusively Firefox mobile since it was released.
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I think you missed his point. He wasn't saying that cloud storage isn't possible on GNU/Linux, clearly it is. He was pointing out that you are commenting about your dislike of Windows on an article about OneDrive (not Windows) for Mac (also not Windows). Its about as off topic as coming to an article about Sony improving something on the PlayStation and saying that you hate Sony TVs and prefer LG.
    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Nvidia has a fresh update for GeForce NOW subscribers today, bringing in more games to add to its ever-growing supported titles list. At the same time, the company announced the kick-off for its summer sale for the streaming subscription service, dropping the prices for both its premium packages for anyone looking to upgrade or join. The offer is for the 12-month membership options that the company offers. This drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. Next, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping prices by $70 from the original $199.99. "The Performance membership delivers smooth, high-quality cloud gaming across devices, with streaming up to 1080p at 60 frames per second (fps) and access to RTX-powered servers for supported games," says Nvidia, describing its tiers. "The Ultimate membership steps things up with RTX 4080‑ or 5080‑class performance in the cloud, supporting up to 4K and beyond on ultrawide displays, up to 120 fps, and advanced features like ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex for a more responsive, visually rich experience." With the sales out of the way, here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: NBA THE RUN (New release on Steam, available on June 9) Witchspire (New release on Steam, available on June 10) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, available on June 11) Duet Night Abyss (Launcher) DOOM Eternal (Epic Games Store) The Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Farever (Steam) World of Tanks: HEAT (Wargaming) Nvidia plans to add support for a bunch of more games during the rest of June. Find the full announcement from last week over here. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
