Longtime professional wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer confirmed today on his Wrestling Observer website CM Punk will definitely either appear on WWE Raw, or not appear on WWE Raw, this week.

 
?My backstage sources have 100 percent confirmed that Punk either has or has not been spotted at the arena today,? wrote Meltzer.
 
?We know, for a fact, that Punk will definitely be somewhere, doing something, while Raw is being broadcast this week.?
 
Meltzer has absorbed criticism from wrestling fans in recent weeks for publishing fallacious ?confirmed? reports on the whereabouts of the elusive Punk, who vanished from WWE programming weeks ago.
 
Given that the overall accuracy of his predictions is slightly worse than would be dictated pure chance, Meltzer is now hedging his bets with safer predictions.
 
Among the other predictions listed this week in the Wrestling Observer newsletter:
  • It is confirmed that WrestleMania 30 will indeed happen on April 7
  • Sources confirm that Hulk Hogan is, in fact, balding
  • Multiple reliable witnesses have confirmed that, despite his protestations to the contrary, it was indeed Snitsky?s fault
Bleacher Report, meanwhile, has confirmed that there are 10 reasons why the Undertaker?s streak should end this year, and 10 equally compelling reasons that it should not.

ahahha, i just saw that posted on Facebook.

 

 

sad part is, there's been stuff like that reported on the dirtsheets in the past. I've seen the WZ guys backtrack quite a few times when their "sources" are incorrect.

All the respect to Andre but I'd rather see a MiTB (or something similar in terms of the prize) than a trophy match. Maybe a shot to the elusive US title? :shifty:

Well it's bad that the IC champion is the in the Andre tournament

Hello,

All the respect to Andre but I'd rather see a MiTB (or something similar in terms of the prize) than a trophy match. Maybe a shot to the elusive US title? :shifty:

Hey, make it a MITB (ladder) trophy match :p A 30 man over-the-top rope just seems....worthless. Kofi doing spots and thats it. Now a ladder match....that can be exciting.

Anyways, HHH and Bryan can make a good match. If HHH hasnt left his bodybuilding routine, he can still pull off a good match and we dont really need to doubt Bryan. The thing is that, HHH should have won this match; Im not a HHH fan personally but it would allow the feud to keep on longer and for people to even push Bryan more. But I understand needing to put a third man in the match and of course, Bryan's roll must continue.

That 30 man? Alexander Rusev. Guy hasnt even wrestled on RAW (AFAIK) and they are hyping him.

Bray vs Cena ; :yawn: Cena wins.

Im still betting Batista will win Randy Orton vs. Batista vs. Bryan. That or Bryan wins and gets screwed either that same night or the next night on RAW. I think they will change the outcome of that match that same night depending on how people are.

BTW, weak prewritten promo by UT. I expected a bit more from Mark. He might not be able to wrestle for ###### anymore but guy's presence still allows him to give awesome promos. Also, they really arent pushing that feud anywhere. Punk had the urn thing but this just feels like another match that UT is gonna win.

    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount

      By Steven P. · Posted

      GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse). GEEKOM X16 Pro at GEEKOM U.S. for $1,119.67 was $1,349 (17% off) Use coupon code NWGBX1617 when checking out. This flash deal expires on July 2.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      Ouch. $1600 for 256GB SSD / 16GB? Even Apple, the purported "target" of Surface devices for a long time, has its MacBook Air M5 at 512GB SSD / 16GB RAM for $999 MSRP. Surface will never be reasonably priced with such low volumes.

      Sadly price is pretty in line with the other new X2 devices so far. RAM/SSD prices have ruined everything.
