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!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
