Former WWE star Harry "David Hart" Smith choked out a thief while in Amsterdam this past week. Smith witnessed a man steal a woman's purse and while three security guards were having a hard time with the man, Smith jumped in, took the guy down and put him in a choke.

 

The man actually started tapping out but Smith held the choke on him for a while before allowing security to take him away. It was said that the man went from ultra-aggressive to calm very quickly.

Top bloke. (Y)

What was probably the 2nd-most rumoured WWE signing for ages (after Sting, of course) has seemingly happened now...

 

According to PWInsider.com, WWE has officially inked a deal with former New Japan Pro Wrestling star Fergal "Prince" Devitt. Rumors have been circulating for months now, dating back to November of 2013 when he lost the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship to Kota Ibushi at Wrestle Kingdom 8. 

 
Devitt is a 32-year-old Irish born wrestler trained by NWA UK Hammerlock and the New Japan Inoki Dojo, and has been wrestling in Japan full-time since 2006. One of the most decorated stars in NJPW of the past decade, he is a 2-time winner of the Best of the Super Juniors tournament, a 6-time IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, and a 3-time IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion. He is also one of the founding members and former leader of the Bullet Club, until leaving the promotion and being replaced by new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles. 
 
Prince Devitt awaits a US work visa, and should be reporting to WWE NXT in Orlando, Florida in the next two months.

 

He's having a little fun on Twitter too.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
