Jeff Jarrett?s upstart Global Force Wrestling promotion is set to debut on pay-per-view in just over three months. Multiple pay-per-view carriers have Global Force Wrestling listed on their schedules, with the first show taking place on January 4, 2015.

 
January 4th is also the date of New Japan Pro Wrestling?s annual ?Wrestle Kingdom? Tokyo Dome event ? and this is no coincidence. According to PWInsider.com, it appears Jeff Jarrett has brokered a deal to bring the Tokyo Dome show to United States PPV for the first time. Mike Johnson reports that all marketing for the PPV will be branded ?Global Force Wrestling? ? not NJPW.
 
Jarrett, who departed TNA last December and announced the formation of Global Force Wrestling the day after WrestleMania 30, recently joined NJPW?s Bullet Club faction. He remains a minority owner of TNA Wrestling.

I'll bet they're going to work a deal with Sky

Yep, makes it sound pretty obvious from that. We're gonna suffer like Canada too; I don't know how much it costs over there on Rogers, but I'd reckon it's a safe bet it'll be more pricey over here on Sky. :/

Well, the only other "potential partner" would be Virgin Media (OK, there's also BT, but their TV service isn't even worth mentioning in the same vein as Sky and VM), and that'd be pretty unusual for them to get the WWE Network while Sky still keep everything else.

Yeah I already pay ?70 a month for Sky :rofl: can't afford to pay more!

Yeah, we're on that much a month too, but we managed to haggle them down to about ?55 a month for the next eight months. Definitely worth a try calling them up or live chatting and doing the old "I'm considering leaving" spiel.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
