Another Dish Network/WWE update to follow up what timster posted earlier.

According to PWInsider.com, when a reader called DISH Network to ask about the availability of this Sunday night's WWE Elimination Chamber PPV, the caller was told "Dish is no longer offering WWE PPVs." When the caller asked if this had anything to do with the WWE Network launching, a DISH manager responded by saying "no comment." As of this writing, DISH is still making no mention of WWE PPV events on its PPV listing page.

 

It was reported last fall that indie veteran Joey Ryan participated in a WWE tryout camp at the Performance Center, just a few months after he was released from TNA. Ryan was not offered a contract and later said in an interview that WWE felt like he was too old and experienced to be in developmental.

 
A few weeks back in January, Ryan tweeted the following comments and made references to NXT trainer Bill DeMott and John Laurinaitis:

Ryan also posted a screenshot of his e-mail reply to WWE?s Senior Director of Talent Development, presumably former beach volleyball player Canyon Ceman, who told him he was too experienced to hire. Here?s what Ryan wrote in the e-mail:

WWE released their Q4 2013 and Full Year financial results on Thursday morning. Here are the final pay-per-view buy rates:

  • Battleground in October: 114,000
  • Hell in a Cell in October: 228,000 (up from 199,000 in 2012)
  • Survivor Series in November: 177,000 (down from 208,000 in 2012)
  • TLC in December: 181,000 (up from 175,000 in 2012)
Without factoring in WWE Battleground (which was a new pay-per-view in 2013), WWE sold 586,000 buyrates in the quarter, up from 582,000 in 2012.
 
The buyrate for Hell in a Cell was the show?s best since it debuted in 2009 ? and the Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton main event outdrew the John Cena vs. Randy Orton WWE World Heavyweight Championship Unification match by a wide margin (26%).
 
Overall, you can see that pay-per-view is no longer a growth sector for WWE, which makes it an opportune time for WWE to transition those shows to the WWE Network.

 

One in the eye for Daniel Bryan's detractors there.

During a World Wrestling Entertainment conference call today, Vince McMahon, CEO of WWE, publicly commented on CM Punk for the first time since his departure from the company almost three weeks ago.

Vince McMahon issued his first public comments on CM Punk?s WWE departure since he apparently quit the company last month.

When asked about Punk?s status on today?s WWE earnings call, McMahon said that Punk was on a ?sabbatical, let?s just put it that way.?

 

According to The Wrestling Observer, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the leading candidate for the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015.

 
It's being said that the induction is a done deal, and it all depends on if The Rock wants it or not.

It's being reported that Chris Hero's name has been brought up within TNA Impact Wrestling but the talks reportedly aren't very serious at this time.

Hero was also known as Kassius Ohno in WWE's NXT developmental territory and is a former ROH World Tag Team Champion with Claudio Castagnoli, better known as current WWE Superstar Antonio Cesaro.

It's being reported that Chris Hero's name has been brought up within TNA Impact Wrestling but the talks reportedly aren't very serious at this time.

Well, at least they're looking at the right people, but yeah, Hero probably won't go, especially as he's currently in the world title picture at ROH since he returned.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
