Its PG because of the advertisers and Cena adapted to that, not the other way around.

Obviously they're paying more, as if you look at WWE's corporate site, it says under this page that 78% of their audience is 21 and over.

I don't disagree that its wrong. I just disagree with his post.

 

Cena wasn't PG before. Why blame him for it? He was just the smartest at adapting and making money at it.

Oh no, I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was just pointing out that fact about their demographics; makes you think how much more money they'd make if they actually tried to appeal to their biggest demographic. When over three-quarters of your audience is at least 21 years old, you'd think they'd target the shows towards them.

For those who haven't seen the results of the most recent episode of WWE Main Event, Ryback came down and circled the ring after almost every match/segment of the show. During one, he yelled "Keep typing, morons". On another, he yelled "Ryback rules" in random audience members' faces.

Looks like his Twitter personality is finally coming through on TV. :D

Hulk Hogan reached a verbal agreement with WWE this past week, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

 
The latest is that Hogan will not be wrestling at WrestleMania XXX and most likely would not pass a WWE physical. That said, he will have some sort of role at the WWE Hall of Fame and WrestleMania XXX. WWE has been talking about inducting the WrestleMania 1 main event (Hogan & Mr. T vs. Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorf) into the Hall of Fame, with all 4 men being on hand for the ceremony.
 
As reported earlier this week, ?Rowdy? Roddy Piper has been pushing for a match at WrestleMania that would pit himself & CM Punk vs. Hulk Hogan & John Cena. Piper put Punk over during Old School RAW and tried convincing Punk to get on board for the idea, but it won't be happening, for a variety of reasons.
 
At one point there was talk of Hulk Hogan appearing at the ?groundbreaking? WWE Network announcement, but the company did not want Hogan?s return to distract from the Network announcement. The decision was made to hold off on his return, which will help pop a big TV rating as WWE is negotiating their TV rights fees.

So yep, The American Wolves have signed with TNA; they were in a backstage segment with Dixie Carter being referred to as simply The Wolves. Storyline-wise, they were supposed to have a tryout match next week for a chance at a contract, but they've already had and signed a contract from a "new investor" in TNA.

 

And speaking of next week, it's gonna be Magnus defending the world title against Sting; if Sting loses, he's gone from TNA (and in turn, the IWC will explode at the thought that the rumours of him being WWE-bound might actually be true this year).

Hello,

And speaking of next week, it's gonna be Magnus defending the world title against Sting; if Sting loses, he's gone from TNA (and in turn, the IWC will explode at the thought that the rumours of him being WWE-bound might actually be true this year).

Its the same thing every year.

Sting is 54; The WWE knows that Sting has one year (more like one match) at most left of his career. What are they going to use Sting for after WM? Undertaker has 48 and look how much he wrestles!

All they can use Sting for is a chance at people he has never wrestled: Rock (41), Austin (49), HHH (44), Shawn (48)....all those until he is 60?? :laugh:

Sting's train has passed. And its only his fault.

Hogan should've stopped actively wrestling a long time ago. His body is decaying in plain sight.

 

 

He did.

His last match was almost two years ago, so I wouldn't consider that a long time ago.

I gotta say that's disappointing, Triple H has missed a trick there

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

      It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By OblivionSHO · Posted

      A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • USB Port Optimization for best locations for devices

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
