^ 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.

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.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
