Anyone ready for the sleeper PPV tonight?  Got my KEG ready.  These monthly - Pass by time - Non-relevant PPVs are getting pretty bad.  We all know Cena will win.  He's already booked with Lesnar at Summerslam.  No body really cares about the Womans title anymore.  Seeing how WWE had a month to build story lines for this PPV, i think they needed more time, as there isn't anything that goes " WOW " on the card.  Might lose some of the WWE Network subscribers.

Anyone see this weeks Impact?  Damn good show. Probably B+ or A  type show. I read that the following two nights were even better so quite looking forward to next weeks.

 

Glad they've got more tapings in NY next month, it is a good venue for them.

I have a feeling we're the only ones in this thread that still watch TNA. :P It definitely was a good episode this week, and the next two should be more of the same. The next lot of NYC tapings next month will hopefully be good too. It's gonna be such a letdown when they return to Orlando.

If this first show was anything to go by, it seems like with the return of the 6 sided ring they are trying to turn the whole product around, definitely was a return to really good wrestling again.  And Hardys senton bomb onto the steps was insane.

I'm on a date for most of tomorrow (*shock horror!*), so Battleground is pretty low down on my priorities. :p I'll squeeze it in in the morning and skim through. It is pretty underwhelming. Still, predictions time...

I'll go with the one who can actually wrestle: *checks...* Naomi! Little aside, WWE's currently got Cameron down as Cameroni, and The Funkadactyls' Wikipedia page is currently calling them The Los Funkadactyls. :p

 

20140715_Battleground_IntercontinentalUp

 

Tricky one to decide on. I'm torn between four, coincidentally all on the front row of that shot from left-to-right: Ziggler, Cesaro, Bo and Sheamus. Ziggler and Cesaro are the from the heart choices, so I'll knock them off. Will they actually merge the IC and US titles (meaning a Sheamus win)? That's the only reason I'm considering Sheamus. On the other hand, there's the "inspirational streak". ###### it, I'm gonna bolieve and go with Bo Dallas.

2-out-of-3 falls match. This should be a good'un. I'm gonna side with The Wyatt Family to win the titles.

 

20140715_Battleground_AjPaige_LARGE_R.jp

 

Contrary to BoDEAN's comment, I actually do care about this title match. :p As much as I want Paige to win, it probably won't happen, so I'm going with AJ to retain.

 

20140715_Battleground_SwaggerRusev_LARGE

 

I have a feeling real-life events from this week will probably grind this feud (and Lana & Rusev's gimmick) to a halt. I'm going with Jack Swagger.

 

20140715_Battleground_JerichoWyatt_LARGE

 

Another potential good'un. Going with Bray Wyatt.

 

20140715_Battleground_RollinsAmbrose_LAR

 

This is probably gonna end in Seth Rollins winning by DQ.

 

20140715_Battleground_Fatal4Way_no_burst

 

Cena wins LOL.

 

...or will he? SEScoops is getting our hopes up...

John Cena has been pulled from the listing for this Monday?s post-Battleground edition of WWE RAW because he will be busy filming the new ?Trainwreck? movie that he is appearing in.

 
Some are speculating that as a result of Cena not being at Monday?s RAW, where Brock Lesnar is scheduled to return, that it is a sign that the WWE World Heavyweight Championship may change hands at tonight?s Battleground show.
 
Additionally, there are a lot of people within WWE pushing for the company to ?pull the trigger? on Roman Reigns because they feel that now is the right time.

Because I'm pretty optimistic at the moment (thanks to the first date earlier this week :p ), I'm gonna put my faith in SEScoops and say Roman Reigns wins the title.

Roman Reigns / Brock Lesnar at Summerslam won't sell any tickets.  Won't happen.

Brock isn't necessarily fighting for the title at SummerSlam. Remember the leaked poster with him and Cena on it? No titles in sight.

Fire them both, both are not "good for business"

Lesnar isn't coming back on TV/PPV unless it is for the title. Been stated numerous times in the past.  He sure isn't coming back, at a PPV, just to fight John Cena in a non-title match..... WWE wouldn't leak a poster with a title belt in it anyways......

I do see a shock WWE Title win tonight with Reigns winning or Rollins cashing in only to be challenged by Cena in a few weeks

Well, we were wrong. Cena won LOL.

 

2/8 on my predictions. Awful night. :P

First WWE PPV I have seen since the WCW "Invasion" years ago.  Actually, wasn't to bad of a show.  Tag match was really good, BNB came out to offer "Bad News" for the IC belt match, and even though "Cena Wins, LOL" it was still a good match.  Quite a few This is Awesome chants, and Y2J v Wyatt was good.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
