Hello,

Vince said in the quarterly that he's on sabbatical. Which is exactly what Bryan said.

"Sabbatical" and "he's no longer with the company right now" don't sound like the same thing to me at all.

Its like "he was scared" and saying "he actually ###### his pants and cried of how scared he was" Yeah, same thing but way different.

"Sabbatical" and "he's no longer with the company right now" don't sound like the same thing to me at all

 

They mean exactly the same thing.  He isn't with the company right now simply makes no mention of being expected back.

As noted earlier on PWInsider.com in Jamie Ference's live report, there was an incident with Batista and a ringside fan.


The fan in question was a local morning DJ, Cam Carson, who works for Winnipeg radio station Power 97. The station had been promoting the show and was listed as a sponsor for the event.

 

Batista began jawing with Carson before the match and when he turned to return to the ring, Carson hit him in the back/shoulder area, according to one fan that was sitting nearby. That led to Batista forcefully shoving him down. Carson tried to get over the rail but was stopped and spoken to by security - yet allowed to remain. Batista then began wrestling Big Show in a singles match.

 

Later on, Batista flipped the finger to Carson as he passed him while circling the ring. That led to Carson "losing it" and trying again to hop the rail, at which point he was walked out by security.

Whether this was a publicity stunt or something legitimate we cannot confirm, but my gut is it's the former, even if no one immediately admits it. But, we'll have to see.

 

WWE performers physically interacting with fans in an aggressive way calls for a fine from the company. Last year, Mark Henry once claimed it was a $10,000 fine during an interview.

TNA Lockdown tonight, A.K.A. a gimmick PPV done right; every single match is a cage match. Anyone else gonna be watching?

 

Ethan Carter III vs. TBAIt's an open challenge now that Kurt Angle's "injured". Specifically limited to the current roster, so no surprises in store here, unfortunately.

Manik vs. Tigre UnoNow this should be a good'un. Manik (TJ Perkins) trained in lucha libre, so it's effectively two luchadores going at it; something we don't see too often in the big companies nowadays.

Mr. Anderson vs. Samuel Shaw - I have a feeling the "creepy bastard" chants Samuel Shaw's had in the UK won't carry back over to the US. Wouldn't mind the Miami crowd proving me wrong though, or failing that, have Mr. Anderson announce Shaw as "Crrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeepyyyyyyyyyy...... Barrrrrrrrrrstard!!!!!!" again.

The Great Muta, Sanada and Nakanoue (Wrestle-1) vs. Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian) and Chris Sabin (TNA) Six-man interpromotional tag team match - Can't really see Keiji Mutoh coming to America just to job to TNA's midcarders (Bad Influence still deserve better though).

Gunner vs. James Storm - Last Man Standing match - Insult the armed forces = definitely losing. I imagine that's an unwritten rule in wrestling creative teams in 'murica, so that's the sole basis of my prediction here.

Madison Rayne © vs. Gail Kim (with Lei'D Tapa) for the TNA Knockouts Championship - Assist from Lei'D.

Team MVP (MVP, The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) and Jeff Hardy) vs. Team Dixie (Bobby Roode, The BroMans (Robbie E and Jessie Godderz) and Austin Aries) - Eight-man Lethal Lockdown match - Winner takes complete control of TNA; if Team Dixie wins, Bobby Roode gets 10% of TNA - Roughly 5,000 unsold Hulk Hogan t-shirts are on the line!
Magnus © vs. Samoa Joe for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship - can only win by submission or knockout - Essentially the outcome is either Joe makes Magnus tap or Magnus knocks out Joe with the help of Rockstar Spud and EC3. Now which one's more believable...?

I'd have to agree with your predictions. Especially the main event, the push wouldn't make sense if MVP didn't win and I hear they are planning to move Dixie off of TV.

I have to say I thought the whole MVP thing would be a bust but he has been doing a good job and I've been getting quite into it.

Also quite liking the Wolves style, they put on a really entertaining match.

Looking forward to watching this after work tomorrow.

^ Result of a botched Styles Clash from AJ Styles in a match at Preston City Wrestling last week. Roderick Strong definitely got off lucky in comparison. There's no fan video of the incident (PCW don't allow fans to record their shows; any videos get taken down pretty quickly) and it's being cut out of the DVD release of the show, so we won't see it.

Signed up to try the network out, didn't have much luck today. I was running it via a vpn though so perhaps thats why.

 

I also wish the whole glorification of Benoit would stop, the guy killed a child. That negates everything he ever did prior. I wish the net would just let him fade into the past

I reckon it'll die down now that they're not censoring him on the WWE Network, so the smarks can shut up about it now. Then it'll probably kick off again over the censorship of New Jack...

True, but we'll never know what happened in Benoit's head at the time. A moment of insanity doesn't define one person's life or negates everything he's done before that. And after all, he "paid" with his life. I'm not saying that what happened was right, no way, but I'm not quick to judge. For all we know, all his years of wrestling could be the cause of that. We'll never know for sure.

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195) by Aditya Tiwari Image: Snap Inc. Smartglasses powered by augmented reality are the latest fashion because the smartphone market is slowly reaching saturation. Snap Inc. announced its latest AR-powered smartglasses, called SPECS, that aim to strike a middle ground between underpowered AI glasses and heavy headsets you can't wear all the time. Available in two sizes, Snap SPECS are made from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and feature removable inserts to support prescription lenses. Its 47mm model weighs about 132g; the bigger 52mm model weighs 136g. Snap Inc has been spreading the word about the new glasses for a while now. Earlier this year, it even spun off its smart glasses team into a subsidiary called Specs Inc. Its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display delivers a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the device gives the feel of a 24-inch desktop monitor when you're working, and of a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away when watching a movie. A pair of custom stereo speakers and 6x high-SNR MEMS microphones are built into the temples of the smartglasses to deliver open-ear audio while you cast a screen, stream content, open a whiteboard, or collaborate with others. Snap Inc. patted itself on the back, saying the smartglasses don't need tethering or a puck to connect to a computer. Under the hood, SPECS draw its power from two Snapdragon processors: one for computer vision and another for running Lenses. The device supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that help digital content feel anchored in the real world, according to the company, which claims that SPECS can "deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency." The smartglasses offer up to four hours of battery life on a single charge while providing AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, Lenses, audio/video playback, and more. The battery life could jump to 20 hours of mixed use when the charging case is included. Image: Snap Inc. You can view and interact with AR Lenses anchored directly to the physical world around you, and an on-board AI assistant uses the camera to see what's around to answer questions or provide real-time help with tasks. Snap Inc. noted that it filed more than 7,000 patents during the development of SPECS. It's trying to build the required digital ecosystem around the smartglasses, and said that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. Moreover, their electrochromic lenses use the same technology available in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, enabling them to shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds when you walk out of your house. Snap SPECS are now available for pre-order on the official website with a $2,195 price tag ($200 refundable deposit). The smartglasses are expected to ship in the US, UK, and France during the Fall this year.
    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
    • Thanks for the tip. I am giving it a try. Initial quick impression: I like it.
    • Welcome to Neowin. Enjoy your time here!
