Well, I am sad that Daniel Bryan hangs his boots but it is better. Wrestling may be choregraphed but there have been way too many concussions and broken necks like Edge or Bret Hart to risk another catastrophe. it is better to leave walking out than on a stretcher and end up in long term care.

When I watch NJPW and the Shibata/Goto matches, I still wonder how these two can still walk after.

 

Speaking of Hart, I am really horrified of all the surgeries he had to endure and I hope his cancer is cured soon

WWE Superstar Titus O’Neil was sent home from last night’s WWE Smackdown tapings shortly after arriving. It’s being said that he has been suspended for unprofessional conduct.

 

His unprofessional conduct allegedly occurred during the end of the Monday Night RAW taping in Seattle, WA. After RAW had stopped going live on the USA Network the feed kicked over live to the WWE Network to continue coverage of Daniel Bryan’s retirement. During the live streaming WWE Network portion of Bryan’s retirement the WWE locker room came out to greet him at the top of the ramp. Included in the group of Superstars at the top of the ramp was the Chairman of the Board Vince McMahon.

 

Once Bryan had passed his fellow Superstars at the top of the ramp they began to return to the back. While this was going on Titus O’Neil grabbed Vince by the arm in what is being described as a “playful, physical way.” Vince responded in kind by shoving O’Neil away from him and playfully threw his arms up and laughed at Titus.

Weird that they'd suspend him for that. Like it says in the article, it was shown in the video they uploaded to YouTube, which I linked to yesterday and is now "private"; they just now uploaded another version with that bit edited out. :wacko:

There were around 4 different articles on Yahoo this morning about Titus O'Neil getting suspended, with one having Batista supposedly saying Titus should have just asked for his walking papers instead of the suspension.

Yep, he did.

 

 

 

It's a shame that WWE might not improve until Vince is gone. Sad to say, but looks to be true. I'm not holding out for complete improvement, but it appears that Triple H is in charge of NXT and that's gone down really well with the hardcore fans. The trouble is, with no real competition in sight, they don't have much incentive to improve.

Weird thing about the Titus O'Neil bit:  it seems to be "saturating" the internet news for some reason.  Some comments to those stories are wondering if this will turn into a big Titus push, making him another baby-face against the authority gimmick.  Could be interesting if they do- having O'Neil at ringside, saying he bought a ticket...interrupting McMahon in the ring, etc.   Who knows.

See... my take here is that when else has Vince broken character on screen?  He could quite honestly have shaken it off without notice and carried on walking...

 

Just heard about this unusual event coming up; wrestling, boxing, MMA, and grappling all in the same show.

 

Also, so much for that farewell tour Kurt's been doing this year.

 

Oh, they're also running a mask design contest for Rey Mysterio, so if anyone here's a bit creative, give it a go.

WWE has become a dumpster fire as of late. Big Show and Braun Strowman as the main event on a go home show for a ppv. Who's books this crap?

And making Big Show, Ryback, and Kane look "extremely" wimpy seems par for course with the crap also.

I’m afraid we’ve got some … Bad News. “King” Wade Barrett has given WWE notice that he will not be signing a new contract when his current deal expires in June, according to ProWrestlingSheet.com.

 

The League of Nations member reportedly told WWE officials that he’s no longer enjoying his role with the company and feels it’s the right time to move on with his career.

 

Barrett has been a mainstay on WWE television since his NXT debut back in 2010. After winning the first season of NXT and leading the hot Nexus invasion storyline during his rookie year, he’d go on to capture the Intercontinental championship five times.

    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛
