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...

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

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.

      Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.

      All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....

      It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
