^ So yeah, it was a local wrestler trying to make himself famous. Well done, mate, now the internet will see you as a massive prick. (Y)

 

 

 

Right, regarding TNA's #August1Warning thing, I'm definitely putting my (imaginary) chips down on Tito Ortiz now after seeing this...

They're probably gonna use Impact Wrestling to help hype up the fight; a little cross-promo work.

 

OMG! If those guys "work" an MMA match, it will be the death knell of Bellator. ######, people even said Paul Daley took a dive when he fought Nick Diaz.

The buyrate for WrestleMania 29 was 1,039,000 buys, down from last year's 1,217,000 buys.

 

May's Extreme Rules did 231,000 buys compared to last year's 263,000 buys (which featured Brock Lesnar).

 

The June Payback PPV did 186,000 buys. That was behind last year's No Way Out, which did 194,000 buys. It should also be noted that WWE had an extra PPV last May in Over The Limit, which did 167,000 buys.

 

For the second quarter in 2013 WWE sold 1,551,000 PPVs. In 2012, they sold 1,897,000.

Yep, maybe time to start writing the eulogy. If the higher-ups at Spike/TNA/Bellator had balls and just let them go unscripted, then maybe it'd be a half-decent crossover, but yeah, I'm not holding my breath.

TNA Impact Wrestling star Kurt Angle was arrested on a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) charge early Friday morning in Texas. Angle was arrested following the conclusion of the TNA Impact Wrestling broadcast on Spike TV.

 

The former Olympic gold medalist was booked about an hour outside of Wichita Falls, the site of Thursday?s Impact Wrestling show, in Decatur, Texas at the Wise County Jail.
 
According to current jail records, this was Angle?s second DWI offense, and he was released on $2,000 bond. After posting bond, local authorities will schedule a trial date.

I bet TNA doesn't release him though :p

WWE.com is reporting that Tshepo Sekhabi, the South African fan who attacked Randy Orton at WWE's live event in Cape Town, South Africa this week, plead guilty in court yesterday.

Sekhabi was charged and ordered either to pay a 500 Rand fine, or spend 30 days in jail. Sekhabi admitted his wrongdoing, was given a three-year suspended sentence, and was banned from attending the remainder of WWE's live events in South Africa.

and

According to TVByTheNumbers.com, last night's edition of Impact Wrestling took in 1.26 million viewers, which is down from the previous week's 1.314 million viewers. The final rating should be available shortly.

    • [Official] Doctor Who Thread

      By _neutrino · Posted

      Everything I have read is that the BBC is still Pro Doctor Who but wants a solid plan before they let anyone else try to do it. Which is fair.
    • 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?

      By _neutrino · Posted

      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.
