Yeah I just had a feeling they were affiliated like AAA is :p

Yeah, they are, just like Wrestle-1 is affiliated with TNA. Mock TNA all you want (no, seriously, go ahead; they deserve it after Sacrifice :P ), but at least they're providing some deserved international exposure to puroresu, especially with Seiya Sanada still the X Division Champion. Only other place you can see puroresu on American TV will be ROH in a few weeks time after the two PPVs they're doing with NJPW next month (ROH usually broadcasts their PPVs on their TV show spread out across two or three weeks with two or three matches on each episode); Global Wars on May 10th and War of the Worlds on May 17th.

 

Just looking through the cards now on ROH's site. Looks like Global Wars is gonna be a split show (like TNA and Wrestle-1's Outbreak event from March) with a couple of crossover matches in NJPW's half of the event...

...and Russo's sending TNA back downhill again. Spoilers for the next few weeks below...

 

A lot of major news came out of tonight's TNA Impact Wrestling television taping event in Orlando, Florida including three returns for the company, the debut of several new characters, and more. 

 
Former Aces & Eights member Knux made his return to Impact for the first time since the faction split up. He has been repackaged with a "carny" gimmick, along with his girlfriend Rebel, a character called Crazy Steve, a large masked man and two guys on stilts. 
 
Kenny King and Bobby Lashley also made their returns, scheduled for the 5/15 edition of Impact Wrestling. Both guys joined MVP in attacking Eric Young in the main event segment of that show. The new advertised main event for TNA Slammiversary is Eric Young vs. MVP for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
 
A new character named Bram made his debut tonight, and he will be appearing for the first time on the 5/8 episode. Bram is former NXT developmental star Kenneth Cameron, who wrestled as a part of the original Ascension tag team prior to his release. 
 
And while many expected Kazarian to be on his way out of TNA, he actually attended the television taping, working two matches on both the 5/8 and 5/15 editions of Impact Wrestling. His contract is set to expire soon, but at this time we have no new information about the state of his deal with the company.

Jesus, someone needs to tell Russo that authority figures don't all need to be heels. MVP was killing it as a face! Doesn't make any sense especially as he's still technically feuding with Dixie Carter, so where does that leave her? No bloody way will the fans buy a face turn from her; she's Vickie Guerrero with a southern twang.

WWE have had a somewhat clean out today of talent that haven't been used in a while and as their fellow countryman would says, "I'm afraid I've got some Bad News"

English Talents, Oliver Grey and Danny Burch, have both been released. While Welsh talent Mason Ryan (Known more for Nexus Pt II) has also been given the boot.

Its also bad news for the Guerreros, as Shaul has been released also. Shaul was best known for being the daugther of Vickie and the Legendary Eddie Guerrero

Jeez you'd think the women would wear some sort of protection thingy down there....

 

Btw, I'm back. Was offline for 2+ weeks, not that anyone noticed :|

 

Pretty much caught up with wrestling at this point though. Gaming, not so much.

    • 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).

    • We are reached to the point that apple looks affordable and better choice than anything else, in what dystopia are we living in....
    • 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.
