PWInsider.com is reporting that the reason The Undertaker is back on Raw this coming week, as well as an earlier return for Brock Lesnar, is dealt specifically with the loss of CM Punk.

The original plan for CM Punk was for him to come out after Wrestlemania 29 and complain about his loss to The Undertaker. This would follow up with him walking out on the company. The final decision to hold him off was because the post-Wrestlemania crowd would have most likely cheered him, which is something WWE did not want. Another reason is that CM Punk was very upset with the wording of his promo, which caused some frustration.

About three weeks ago, CM Punk had a massive argument with the top WWE creative officials and was considering quitting the company. Obviously, they worked out their differences and CM Punk was able to work TV show and Wrestlemania. This was also another reason why he was taken off of live events, along with his body being banged up.

There is no set timetable for his return, but it looks like WWE will hold him off until late Summer, potentially leading up to Summerslam in August.

At Monday's RAW from Greenville, South Carolina, a fan reportedly held up a "RAW Is Generico" sign and was moved by security, taken from his paid seat to the opposite side of the arena and a seat filler took his seat at ringside. The fan asked security why he was being moved and was told the people running the show didn't want him sitting there because of his sign.

The fan reportedly asked if they could just take the sign and let him sit at ringside but was told by a security guard that he was about to be kicked out because the people running the show, presumably WWE officials, didn't want him there. Another guard told the fan that wasn't correct, they just didn't want him in front of the camera. Apparently another man who was sitting with the fan also had his seats changed after he was seen holding up a sign related to Ring of Honor.

Standing alongside Florida Gov. Rick Scott, WWE COO Triple H announced the establishment of a state-of-the-art WWE Performance Center on Thursday. The 26,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to open in Orlando this summer, will provide a new home for WWE?s developmental system, NXT, and further increases the company?s presence in the Sunshine State, while also creating more than 100 high-wage jobs.

The top-line facility will house seven wrestling rings, a world-class gym, and high-tech production and edit suites that will help evolve WWE?s partnership with Full Sail University, whose students exclusively edit and produce weekly, internationally-broadcast installments of WWE NXT at the university?s Full Sail Live facility. The center will also offer a best-in-class sports medicine program that effectively turns the performance center into a home base of sorts for both active and developmental WWE talent to receive care.

Just to save the trouble, from left to right: Mason Ryan, Adrian Neville (the man formerly known as PAC), Corey Graves, Peter Clarke (Orange County Commissioner), Teresa Jacobs (Mayor of Orange County), Triple H, Rick Scott (Governor of Florida) Garry Jones (President of Full Sail University, where NXT is currently filmed), "The Ascension" Conor O'Brian (one half of The Ascension with Kenneth Cameron until Cameron attacked a police officer and got released), Paige, and Xavier Woods (formerly in TNA as Consequences Creed)

Cool, Botchamania content. Nice way to copy PRIDE, guys.

WCW, actually. They did it back in 1991 (it was known as the Refer-eye Cam). Back then, the refs wore helmets with cameras on them. I'm guessing this time around, it'll be tiny cameras placed on the refs' shirts. Well, we can only hope...

I hope its unedited going to be funny when you hear the wrestlers tell each other what move is coming next

Nah, there probably won't be any audio from the ref cam; just hear the normal action.

Oh, and speaking of calling spots, that's missing from that Cena picture. ;) Whenever Botchamania does the "Everybody Talks Too Much" segment, Cena shows up on most of them. :p

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?

      Why should simply opening the Action Center ... require any significant amount of CPU cycles? Too many are ignoring the elephant in the room: today's CPUs may have similar clock frequencies to CPUs from a decade ago (~4 to 5 GHz), but they run with far higher performance per clock, even on the smallest E-cores. The Action Center is a static, minor desktop element. It ought to open instantly on any CPU made in the past 2.5 decades at even low clocks. Opening a program? Boost away. Unzipping a file? Boost to your heart's content. Right-clicking the notification area? This should be an ultra-efficient, low-impact event that opens instantly. Compare today's UI elements to Windows 7 UI elements. Today's UI elements hardly do anything more substantial or important or critical, yet now require modern-day processors to jump half a GHz to reduce their latency.

      This is not an option lmao: it is part of the KB5094126 update, pushed to all users. There is no GUI to configure it. Reading the article should be required for commenting.
