when he was getting beat down by Sandow he looked like he couldnt even move his arm, then half way through the match it seemed better even though sandow was still working on his arm. Normally an injured guy fighting with 1 good arm isn't going to beat someone who's fresh.

 

Ok. That explanation is better. Your first one kind of made it seem like you thought Cena was actually injured and couldn't work.

No No No.. my bad on that i should have clarified a little better. Either way i'm having a hard time trying to figure out why they would waste Sandow's MITB like that...unless they really think he's not WHC Material

He put in an awesome match. Maybe they don't think he's ready, but giving him a shot at Cena isn't a real waste. He's world better than Alberto Dorito.

Speaking of which...

 

AJ Styles will reportedly be defending the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for AAA's November 3rd event. AAA booker Dorian Rolden announced that Styles came to them about wrestling for the upcoming event.

 
The show is taking place at El Domo del Parque Solidaridad, Tonal?, Jalisco, Mexico. An opponent for AJ Styles should be announced soon.

See, WWE? That is how you do that storyline! Styles is reportedly heading to Japan too to defend the title in Keiji Mutoh's new promotion Wrestle-1.

 

And some good news for TNA...

 

Dave Meltzer is reporting that Eric Bischoff is all but gone from TNA, in terms of involvement and power within the company. Meltzer revealed on his Wrestling Observer radio show this week that Bischoff remains under contract with the company and will continue getting paid until it expires early next year, but that's where their relationship ends. 

 
Additionally, Meltzer says that there's many people within TNA that are glad Bischoff is done with the company.

 

"He wasn't at the PPV..wasn't at the last TV..won't be around," Meltzer stated. "A lot of people are really happy on that one. Eric was never very well liked?Eric was very lucky that he had some very smart people propping him up in the WCW Days and those people aren't there now, and he got exposed on this run real bad."

WrestleZone reached out to Eric Bischoff directly for comment, but have yet to receive a response at the time of this writing being published. We'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

 

Hogan's also been removed from TNA's roster page, so for now, the wish is reality: Hogan and Bischoff are gone from TNA!

According to PWInsider.com, Paul Heyman's WWE TV status is currently in question as WWE decided to end his feud with CM Punk at Hell in a Cell this past Sunday. Original creative plans called for the feud to continue into December, but the decision was made to end it early, and there is doubt as to whether or not Heyman will continue to work alongside Ryback.

 
Reports surfaced last week that backstage heat on Ryback might be the reason why Heyman and Ryback are no longer being paired up, however WZ exclusively reported earlier this week the backstage heat on Ryback appears to be fabricated by someone close to the situation. Although he was backstage at Raw this week, it's being said at this time that Paul Heyman might not be back on WWE TV until Brock Lesnar returns.

Despite losing the match, Damien Sandow received high praise backstage for his World Heavyweight Championship match with John Cena on Raw Monday. F4WOnline.com is reporting that Vince McMahon made the decision to have Sandow cash in his Money in the Bank contract on Monday to compete with the heavy competition of MLB and the NFL.

WWE?s contracts with the USA Network which airs RAW, and Syfy which airs SmackDown, are expiring within a year ? putting the corporation in a brilliant position to negotiate a better deal, which sits at around $140 million a year.

Though SmackDown expires in the spring and RAW expires next fall, talks are well underway with parent company NBC Universal.

Analyst Chris Bevilcqua told Forbes Sports Money that NBC could renew the partnership at four to six times more than the current deal, and that besides the NFL and NBA, in terms of pure numbers WWE is one of the most sought after brands in TV licensing. He even suggested they could top NASCAR?s recent deal of $4.5 billion over ten years!

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
