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!

    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I think you missed his point. He wasn't saying that cloud storage isn't possible on GNU/Linux, clearly it is. He was pointing out that you are commenting about your dislike of Windows on an article about OneDrive (not Windows) for Mac (also not Windows). Its about as off topic as coming to an article about Sony improving something on the PlayStation and saying that you hate Sony TVs and prefer LG.
    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Nvidia has a fresh update for GeForce NOW subscribers today, bringing in more games to add to its ever-growing supported titles list. At the same time, the company announced the kick-off for its summer sale for the streaming subscription service, dropping the prices for both its premium packages for anyone looking to upgrade or join. The offer is for the 12-month membership options that the company offers. This drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. Next, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping prices by $70 from the original $199.99. "The Performance membership delivers smooth, high-quality cloud gaming across devices, with streaming up to 1080p at 60 frames per second (fps) and access to RTX-powered servers for supported games," says Nvidia, describing its tiers. "The Ultimate membership steps things up with RTX 4080‑ or 5080‑class performance in the cloud, supporting up to 4K and beyond on ultrawide displays, up to 120 fps, and advanced features like ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex for a more responsive, visually rich experience." With the sales out of the way, here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: NBA THE RUN (New release on Steam, available on June 9) Witchspire (New release on Steam, available on June 10) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, available on June 11) Duet Night Abyss (Launcher) DOOM Eternal (Epic Games Store) The Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Farever (Steam) World of Tanks: HEAT (Wargaming) Nvidia plans to add support for a bunch of more games during the rest of June. Find the full announcement from last week over here. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
    • Microsoft explains why PowerToys 0.100.0 is faster and slimmer, there are new features too

      It's actually shocking how logs filling disks has been a constant issue going back for decades, yet we see very little improvement over the years. Even in the server world, its actually shockingly common for a server to either go totally down, or have a critical alert raised due to logs filling disks.
    • YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries by David Uzondu Late last year, YouTube started testing a "new" way to share videos directly with friends, without having to leave the app. Now, the video giant has announced that is now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox, which lets you share videos, Shorts, and live streams and have conversations about them, directly on YouTube. The platform limits this feature to 18+ users who are signed in to a verified channel and use the latest mobile app version. Direct messaging on YouTube first became a thing back in 2017 inside the mobile app (later renamed to "Messages"), where users could chat one-on-one and share clips directly, but all that came to an end on September 18, 2019, when Google decided to shut it down after giving users a month to download a .zip file archive of their past chats. No one really knows why YouTube killed the feature, but users were encouraged to migrate to the public Comments section, on Community tab posts, and via YouTube Stories. The previous incarnation suffered from moderation challenges, prompting Google to implement stricter safety guidelines and age verifications for this new iteration. Here's a list of the countries where the re-launched feature is currently available, though note that Brand Accounts do not have access to it, at least for now: Countries American Samoa Austria Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Guam Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Northern Mariana Islands Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland U.S. Virgin Islands United Kingdom United States Before you can use the feature, you first have to send an invite link to your contact. Invite links expire exactly seven days after you create them. If the person on the other end accepts the invite, you can exchange videos directly and text back and forth inside the app. To delete a message, just long-press on the message and tap unsend to remove it for both users. You can also delete entire conversations by long-pressing the thread and selecting delete, but the other person will continue to see the chat history on their end. To make sure everything remains safe, YouTube monitors these messages to ensure they follow Community Guidelines.
