Yeap. Say goodbye to WWE. Triple H, by far the most stupid man on the face of this Earth. 

 

I've remained a spectator in this thread but I have to agree.

 

There is some logic in Owen's post but dear god...Undertaker losing the streak to Lesnar of all people? Seriously?

Let's clear a rumor up right now. First off, it was not Triple H or Vince McMahon who chose to end the streak.  It was the Undertaker's decision to end the streak. It was also Undertaker's decision to end the streak with Lesnar.

 

Even though Lesnar may have been working a part time schedule in WWE, he was the only legimate threat to the streak. Out of all the matches Undertaker had with Lesnar in the past, Lesnar won a majority of them.  Also, Undertaker knew that if he won against Lesnar, he would have to defend the streak against Cena in the future, and there is no way Undertaker was going to lose the streak to Cena. 

 

It was also clear when watching the match that Undertaker was in extremely poor shape.  He got tired very easily and seem very winded.  I don't think Undertaker could have worked another match at WM 31.  

 

In the end, it's sad the streak is over, and that it went to someone who was somewhat underdeserving (personally, I think the streak should have went to an upcoming star to give them a big push), but in the end, it was Undertaker's decision.

Results of my predictions: 3 / 8 ( -0.5 because the divas winner was my second choice, +0.5 because I predicted the split after the tag match) but I am going to flip tables all day

 

If the goal of WM30 was to give people emotions, well, the internet sure is ablaze and it gives something to remember.

 

BUT!  extremely BAD booking of the middle matches.

- Super-Cena overcomes all odds? AGAIN? Yawwwwwm.

- Undertaker-Lesnar.  Biggest shock and dissappointment.

The streak should have been ended with a bang, to finish the Undertaker career on an AAA match with a younger talent to elevate him to superstardoom, because, the Undertaker is past his prime. But Lesnar? Really? not Reigns? Not Cesaro? Even Randy Orton would have been a better choice. It does not help Lesnar at all.

 

NJPW looks so much better ...

First time I've ever watched it live (am in Australia so work had to take a back-seat, and I had to find somewhere showing it). Simply incredible. It's one of the first PPVs where I've actually wanted the outcome of each match to be exactly what happened. Awesome.

I'm one of those. Pretty good. Although that could be the peak - the people signing up for WM.

 

The problem with what happened is that it overshadowed the rest of the show. Should have gone on last.

 

I realize that would be sort of a giveaway and take away from Bryan's moment, but the Divas never had a chance (they didn't anyway) and it took A LOT to get anyone interested in the main event.

It was nice to see Cesaro win the Battle Royal.  The Shield match wasn't even a match, it was just a 5 minute beat down.  Diva's match didn't have a chance due to Brock/Undertaker.  Cena's match was good, but the ending was no surprise. Cena's not going to lose a mid-card match at Wrestlemania.  HHH vs. Bryan was decent, but nothing special.  Brock/Undertaker was clearly the worst match of the night.  You can tell there were points in the match where Brock didn't know what to do as Undertaker couldn't even stand during the last half of the match. It makes me wonder how Undertaker was ever cleared to wrestle.  Main event was okay, but then again nothing special.  Bryan had to win, especially due to the Brock/Undetaker match.  

 

Good thing I only paid $9.99 as the PPV was not worth more than that.

Pre-show - Fatal four-way tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship: The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) © vs. Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando) vs. The Real Americans (Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger) vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel (RybAxel)

Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational: Every single diva's in the match. I'm gonna take the predictable route and say Tamina wins, thus bringing the Shawn Michaels & Diesel comparison around full circle.
Six-man tag team match: The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) vs. Kane and The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn)
Andr? the Giant Memorial Battle Royal: Once again, I'm going the predictable route and saying Big Show wins the trophy.
For the third spot in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match: Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H - Screw any logic, I'm siding with the Yes Movement!
The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar - Definitely not making the same mistake as last year when I bet on CM Punk to beat Taker; thank #### it was just the winnings of the free bet I placed on The Miz in the pre-show! :p
John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt
Triple Threat match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton © vs. Batista vs. Daniel Bryan or Triple HI've seen a few people online predict that the main event actually becomes a Fatal Four Way with both HHH and Bryan in it. Sounds like a Russo-esque swerve, but hell, I wouldn't mind seeing that happen.

5 out of 8.

 

I finished watching an hour ago and I'm still reeling from it all. What a WrestleMania. Plenty of good moments, the usual fair share of bad moments, but Taker/Lesnar... "holy ######" was my reaction.  :omg: Actually, that smiley isn't enough...

On a less serious note...

And I wonder if this is real...?

    • Macbook Air is an appealing option, as are plethora of Windows devices with various different CPU's
    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
    • Wow, 50% increase for the base model. That's steep!
    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
