NXT star Sami Zayn has been touted by WWE officials and is believed to be very good, However, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that WWE wants him to stop climbing the ropes so much and playing to the crowd. It's said Vince McMahon is not a fan of stars doing that.

According to PWInsider, Eric Bischoff was absent from tonight's Impact Wrestling taping, and he may not be coming back in the near future, according to a few of their sources. Bischoff is the Executive Producer in charge of creative, which means his presence at TNA events should be more noticeable than most. He came to the company alongside Hulk Hogan in 2010. 

 
Speaking of Hogan, TNA has been making it a point not to mention his name on any of their broadcasts, including tonight's Impact Wrestling and last weekend's Bound for Glory pay-per-view. Dixie Carter made reference to Hogan, but not by name, saying "who will remain nameless." TNA even asked a fan dressed up in full Hogan gear at Bound for Glory, George Antoun, to remove his costume and replace it with a TNA-themed shirt instead. This was after they took his Hulk Hogan sign away before the show. 
 
With Bischoff missing from TNA events, and the company being so adamant against Hogan being anywhere near the product, this has led to a lot of speculation that, as the duo came to TNA together, they may be leaving together as well. Of course, this is all speculation so far, and we will update the story as more information becomes available.

Hello,

Here's where you are wrong: I don't have to defend it to you. If you have never watched the TNA product, you shouldn't say a word.

 

You've seen Daniel Bryan in WWE, have you seen Bryan Danielson when he was in the indies? Maybe. Do they wrestle the same style? Not even close. Because WWE's way is different. 

 

Is WWE perfect? No.

Great? Not on a day to day basis. Some events, some matches, some storylines, yes.

Better than TNA? Of ****ing course.

You are completely incorrect. That being said, I do not wish to start a war with you in this thread. If you wish, we can continue thru PM.

What did I say that is 'completely incorrect'?

Please point that part out for the class.

 

Also: Stop starting every post with the word 'hello'. This isn't a letter to your grandmother.

Styles defeated Bully Ray for the title at Bound for Glory, and this past week announced his intention to "make Dixie Carter pay", by walking out on her company and taking the championship with him. As we reported earlier, there are plans to allow AJ to work for other companies while on leave, most notably for AAA in Mexico and Great Muta's Wrestle-1 promotion in Japan.

 

Essentially TNA's doing what WWE should have done with CM Punk two years ago after Money in the Bank. If AJ stays off TNA for more than 8 days, it's immediately a better storyline.

^ It's amazing; same developer and it looks worse than before. Really wish 2K would have done it themselves.

 

I think they acquired the licence too late to put their stamp on it. 2K14 was already well in to development then.

I'd expect 2K15 to be a lot better.

Time for Hell in a Cell predictions...

 

Alberto Del Rio © vs. John Cena - Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship
No need to be Nostradamus to predict this one.
 
Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan - Hell in a Cell match for the vacant WWE Championship with Shawn Michaels as the Special Guest Referee
Dusty finish at Night of Champions, no-contest finish at Battleground, let's see if we get an actual finish this time (by which I mean one where angry fans don't end up demanding a refund and actually getting it).
 
CM Punk vs. Ryback and Paul Heyman - Handicap Hell in a Cell match
Seems pretty likely Curtis Axel will interfere, which would probably lead to Big E Langston making the save, especially now that their title match on the pre-show seems to have been nixed.
 
AJ Lee © vs. Brie Bella - Singles match for the WWE Divas Championship
Ladies and gentlemen: your Total Divas marketing match.
 
Cody Rhodes and Goldust © vs. The Shield (Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins) (with Dean Ambrose) vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) - Triple Threat tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship
Tricky one to predict, this. Dirtsheets seem to be pointing towards Cody Rhodes vs. Goldust at WrestleMania XXX (with Goldust turning on Cody), so there is the temptation to go with The Shield, but I reckon it's too early to start that.
 
Los Matadores (Primo and Epico Diego and Fernando) (with El Torito) vs. The Real Americans (Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro) (with Zeb Colter) - Tag team match
This better be what starts Antonio Cesaro's face turn. The guy deserves better than this.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
