A recent study reveals that, in a stark reversal of convention, the majority of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Superstars? are valiantly struggling to get ?called down? from the company?s main roster to its more exciting and engaging ?developmental? league, NXT.

 
In the past, rookie wrestler honed their chops in NXT hoping that, one day, they might perform on WWE?s flagship programs Raw or Smackdown. But now the opposite appears to be happening, according to the study published in the Harvard Review of Sports Entertainment.
 
?I?m hoping that, if I add a bunch more moves to my arsenal and make my matches more exciting, I just might get a spot on NXT,? revealed John Cena in a candid interview.
 
Added Cena: ?Maybe someday I?ll be in the same league as Sami Zayn.?
 
Once considered a demotion, ?getting sent down to NXT? is now considered the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a WWE performer, given the high caliber of talent consistently on display in WWE?s farm league.
 
Randy Orton, a multi-time WWE Champion, recently tweeted: ?I?ve achieved many things in my career, but my ultimate goal is to win the NXT Championship in front of 150 fans at Full Sail University.?

Fair enough about WWE wanting to distance themselves from Chris Benoit after what he did, but this just makes them look silly. It's not like you can erase him from history. Everyone knows he was part of the WWE and that he won the match. Do they edit out the ending with him winning and celebrating with Eddie too?!

So they're (still) alive. Good. I've always wondered why they never managed to be REAL competition for WWE (because we know what real competition does to WWE). I mean, they have the talent, they have air time...what are they lacking? Money? Creativity? :huh:

I think it's more that hardcore WWE fans aren't willing to give anything else a chance. Or if they do, they compare everything to the big money and slag it off as low class.

I can understand that, but I see people everywhere complaining about WWE's lack of creativity these days, so why don't try something else? Quite a few stars from WWE went to TNA in the past, to me that would have been a good reason to at least give them a chance. In the old days, when wrestlers quit WWE for WCW, everyone shifted. I know that TNA it's not the same thing, but you see where I'm going with this.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
