In what is being called a revolutionary leap forward in professional wrestling defensive techniques, WWE Superstar Titus O?Neil discovered today that it is possible to block or otherwise evade repeated chops to the chest.

 
Employing a technique often used by boxers and MMA fighters, but never previously used by pro wrestlers, O?Neil brought his arms close to his chest, thus blocking a chop attempt by opponent The Big Show.
 
?I had already been chopped a couple of times, which really stings,? recalls O?Neil. ?So I thought to myself: how can I avoid getting chopped again??
 
O?Neil said a ?light bulb went off? in his head, as it dawned on him that he could protect the sensitive flesh of his pectoral region by using the protective shield of his forearms, rather than just keeping his arms draped uselessly over the top rope. He was able to anticipate the next chop because the Big Show insisted on theatrically shushing the live audience first.
 
News of O?Neil?s innovation spread like wildfire through pro wrestling locker rooms worldwide ? even to Japan, where entire matches are predicated on unblocked choppage to the chest.
 
Wrestling experts now believe that, if the chop-blocking strategy had been discovered sooner, Ric Flair would never have won a wrestling championship.

^^ Anyone watched Lucha Underground yet? First episode aired this Wednesday.

 

 

That looks pretty damn good, but I don't know if I could take an hour (or however long it is) of dudes (and dudettes) screaming and yelling in spanish, let alone really thick accents trying to sound evil or whatever lol I mean, I know most of if not all of them speak English (and do it better than most Americans) but eh.

 

Still, that Catarina woman? Holy cow what a body, and that super skin tight dress skin thing she wore....yikes. Also, Konnan? Wow, wrestling really took it's toll on him. I knew he had some bad physical injuries and what have you left over from his in ring days, but I didn't realize he was in a wheelchair with a cane. :(

I haven't watched it yet, but it's on an English-language channel, so it might not be that bad. I'll let you know after I've caught up with ROH. :P

Oh yeah, Maxine from the old NXT. She was similarly smashing back then too (as William Regal would probably say)...

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.

      Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
