To continue adding fuel to the fire, several readers have emailed in regarding recent comments Jim Ross has made about retirement from WWE. The latest statements were just last week at a Q&A event in Scotland, where J.R. told fans he had no plans to retire, and wanted to continue his work in developmental.

 

Furthermore, Ross said that he would "never" retire and always be there when WWE needed him. He added that the day he retired is the day they would bury him. 

There are many who feel the "Jim Ross retirement" angle is simply a way WWE can spin it to the media. This would certainly add credence to that theory.

WrestleZone has exclusively learned that WWE very quietly informed several talents, including Zeb Colter and Vickie Guerrero, that all "non-essential" personnel will soon be left off the live events.
 
The decision was made as a cost-cutting measure, as WWE has done away with the so-called "B" towns and is now running larger arenas, with more cost, during a time when top star John Cena is on the shelf for several months. The upcoming cost-cutting measure apparently does not apply to Paul Heyman or Brad Maddox, who are both considered "vital" (according to our source in the WWE office) to current storylines. Maddox has been the representative of the new regime at the shows, and Heyman (who works a limited live event schedule) is the focal heel in his stable's feud with CM Punk.
 
It is unknown when Guerrero and Colter will be pulled from the live events, although Colter did not appear on last weekend's live events and may already be off the live events as of this report.

ImpactWrestling.com has posted the following update on Mr. Anderson after Impact Wrestling last night:
 

 

"On Thursday at the "No Surrender" IMPACT special, Aces and Eights President Bully Ray successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Mr. Anderson in a violent and chaotic bout. Anderson refused to give up ? and took a major beating from Bully Ray. Bully Ray battered and bloodied Anderson, eventually putting him through a table and winning the bout via countout. Bully Ray continued the assault after the match, dumping Anderson off a medical stretcher on the entrance ramp and annihilating him with a piledriver on the steel structure.
 
ImpactWrestling.com has learned that in addition to several lacerations to his head and body, Anderson suffered a possible concussion and was being examined for damage to his neck from the piledriver. Anderson will be evaluated tonight by doctors at a local St. Louis hospital, and we hope to have an update on his condition on Friday."
 
Anderson's contract with TNA is rumored to be expiring soon, so last night's beat down angle was possibly a way to write him off TV until he signs a new deal, or he might be finishing up with the company.

Had a feeling you'd pick up on that one.  :shifty: That was a pretty good match though; if Mr. Anderson really is leaving TNA, then he went out in style...

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
