According to WWE sources, WWE is targeting SummerSlam to be the launch of the Network in The UK.

 
At the start of 2014, the original timeline had the Network being available in the UK by the end of the calendar year. The technical issues have mostly been worked out and the Network is performing at a high enough level as seen with the WrestleMania stream. This coupled with the fact that WWE business recently took a sizable hit on Wall Street, WWE wants to pick up the pace on getting the Network available internationally to boost revenue.
 
There have been two ideas within WWE regarding the UK launch. One idea is to build it around launching on SummerSlam weekend, and the other is to have it launch a few weeks prior to SummerSlam. From the people WZ talked to, it seems launching before SummerSlam weekend is what they hope, so any issues that come up with a surge of new subscribers can be fixed before the second biggest event of the year.

WWE Diva AJ Lee is not expected to make her WWE return until after her wedding and marriage to CM Punk which takes place next month.

The plan was originally for Lee to be back either in late May or early June.

WWE is interested in signing reigning IWGP Jr. Champion Kota Ibushi, who is considered by many to be the one of the best high-flyers in the industry.

 
Last year Ibushi signed a very unique deal which allows him to wrestle at big events for New Japan Pro Wrestling while wrestling regularly for the DDT promotion.

WWE issued a survey on Thursday, stating that the company is considering releasing new DVDs with more ?behind the scenes? view of the WWE Universe. They asked fans to vote how likely they are to purchase DVDs in the following categories, if they were available for $29.93 in retail or online stores:
  • WWE Reveals / Investigative Documentary: In-depth look at controversial moments in WWE History in and out of the ring plus 2 bonus discs of matches.
  • Legendary Biographies: 90-120 minute documentaries on personal and professional lives of Superstars (like ESPN?s ?30 for 30?) plus 2 bonus discs of matches.
  • Current Superstars Docu-Reality Series: 3-disc DVD giving an all-access look into the lives of current WWE Superstars (like ?Journey to WrestleMania: Daniel Bryan? or HBO?s ?24/7: Mayweather v. Pacquiao?)
  • One Man Show: Hear the personal tales, life lessons, and never before told road stories from WWE Legends in their own words in this intimate stage show on a 3-disk DVD.
The  ?WWE Reveals/Investigative Documentary? category contained some very controversial topics, including ?Owen Hart?s Demise? -
  • Jerry Lawler/Andy Kaufman
  • ?The Curtain Call?
  • Mike Tyson: Pariah of the Sports World, WWE Savior
  • John Stossel Slap/Lawsuit (David ?Dr. Death? Schultz)
  • Owen Hart?s Demise
  • XFL Documentary
  • Other
  • None of the above

LMAO .. gotta love the news, the kayfabe news

 

Hoping to boost flagging viewership, Total Non-Stop Action (TNA) Wrestling announced today it will launch a new content-delivery format called We-Pay-You-Per-Views.

As opposed to the traditional Pay-Per-View model ? in which viewers exchange a given amount of money for access to high-profile wrestling events ? TNA?s new model will ?incentive viewership through a viewer-compensation platform.?

In short, wrestling fans will be awarded payment ? ranging between $39.99 and $49.99, depending on whether Rockstar Spud is performing ? to watch a TNA wrestling event in its entirety.

?Because the PPV model is not working optimally for us, we are transitioning to the innovative WPYPV system,? said TNA President Dixie Carter in a press release.

?We believe our buyrates ? that is, payrates ? will indicate huge boosts in viewership.?

Although most pundits agree that TNA?s viewership will drastically increase with this month?s WPYPV, the success will be offset by the catastrophic debt the company will immediately incur.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
