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.

Hello,

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.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.

      Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
