As noted over the weekend, current plans in NXT call for Bayley to begin a title feud with Dana Brooke, before moving on to Eva Marie. Dana Brooke vs. WWE NXT Women’s Champion Bayley has been added to the September 19th NXT live event in Austin, Texas, and other matches for that show include Samoa Joe vs. Tyler Breeze and Baron Corbin vs. NXT Champion Finn Balor.

It's happening!

TMZ.com reports that WWE Divas Paige and Alicia Fox were ejected from Baltimore’s Supano’s Prime Steakhouse on Sunday evening after a brawl broke out between the Divas and a regular patron.

A waiter at Supano’s told TMZ that the Divas were grabbing a drink late Sunday night when a regular customer came in and began harassing them by taking pictures and videos. Paige and Alicia reportedly confronted her before “all hell broke lose” and drinks were thrown by both sides.

Employees jumped in and stopped the fight and they were all forced to leave the venue.

Kurt Angle, who is a guest on today’s episode of the Mark Madden show on the 105.9X radio station, just addressed his wrestling future, saying he will be taking a break from the profession next year. 

Angle said he will not re-sign with TNA when his contract is up this January. He also noted that he will NOT pursue a deal with WWE either; Angle did not say how long the sabbatical would last, but did comment on his current TNA status. 

He noted that he is close to 100 percent healthy, and will be back to appear at the TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view in Charlotte, North Carolina.

ive seen a few wwe related articles before, I guess one of the writers is a wrestling fan. perhaps there will be one soon

Looks like someone else in NXT is getting fired soon for racism...

One week after Zahra Schreiber was released by WWE due to inappropriate and offensive remarks she made online years ago, another NXT talent is mired in a similar controversy.

On Tuesday night, racial remarks that 20-year-old NXT Diva Nhooph Al-Areebi posted on her Twitter account years ago surfaced on Reddit.com. In one of her tweets, dated February 11, 2012, she quoted a tweet reading “Ugh…######## n*ggers…that’s why I chose white folk. Hmph” and wrote “word.”

That same night, Al-Areebi wrote “why are black people so horny” in response to a user who tweeted this remark to her: “mind if I lick between your Toes to get the salt glue off baby mmmmmmm jam.”

An additional tweet where she wrote “nigha lips” to a user was also revealed (dated September 22, 2011).

Al-Areebi had posted a photo on Instagram last year of herself and a black male wrestler where she referred to him as her slave.

“My slave Preston Myles needs to stop acting like I weigh 200 lbs!” she wrote in the summer of 2014. “Someone buy me a whip plz!”

In a separate Instagram post, which is still online, she wrote, “And @prestonmyles is so black you can’t see him.”

Shortly after the posts began circulating online, Al-Areebi deactivated her Twitter account and removed the first Instagram photo.

Al-Areebi, who is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, was among the international class of 11 recruits to begun training at the WWE Performance Center in April. Prior to joining WWE, Al-Areebi wrestled under the name Jasmin Areebi for various independent promotions in Canada and the United States including Pure Wrestling Association (PWA), Absolute Intense Wrestling (AIW), and New England Championship Wrestling (NECW). She has yet to make her in-ring debut on the NXT television show, but has been competing in non-televised matches under the name Jasmin. On August 29, 2015 at a non-televised event in Fort Pierce, Florida, she competed in the main event. Alongside The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch), the trio defeated Alexa Bliss, Blake and Murphy in Mixed Tag Team Match.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decreed this morning that, to avoid any confusion on the matter, all current and retired professional wrestlers will be required by law to host a podcast.

“For the sake of fairness and balance, all wrestlers must henceforth host a podcast to tell old road stories, complain about how today’s wrestlers need a script for promos, and bemoan the lost art of selling,” says a statement issued by the FCC.

“Furthermore, all podcasts must begin with a longwinded monologue that listeners will fast-forward in order to hear a conversation with an embittered, possibly drunk fellow wrestler with an axe to grind.”

The FCC is calling the statute “just a formality,” since podcasts are already hosted by Steve Austin, Jim Ross,  Jim Cornette, Chris Jericho, Taz, Diamond Dallas Page,Kevin Kelly, and roughly 94 percent of all current and past wrestlers.

By making podcasting a legal requirement, the last remaining holdouts to the podcasting genre — namely Bruno Sammartino, Gillberg, and Dean Malenko — will face stiff legal penalties if they do not launch a show within the next six months.

Independent wrestler Colt Cabana, who essentially launched the podcasting trend before hundreds of others followed, issued a statement regarding the new law: “Oy vey.”

Ugh, I hate it when they post this kind of articles, because I always think there's at least one from the list that WILL come back. Anyway, from this list I would pick Steiner, the Hardyz, Trish, Austin and, of course, Goldberg. Oh, oh, and Shane :D

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
