I was watching some videos on Youtube today and stumbled upon the one with Goldberg's WWE debut, with The Rock. This got me thinking about something. WHAT makes a good powerhouse these days?? I mean, Ryback could be the same thing as Goldberg, no mic skills, short matches, total domination. Reigns could be too. Yet people don't seem to agree with any of them (myself included). Goldberg had charisma, he had a PERFECT entrance theme (and pyros) to fit his character, and, of course, the streak. Right now, it seems that WWE can push ANYONE in a similar role and he wouldn't last a month as a crowd's favorite. Why??

 

On another note, that video got me to watch some old WCW videos with Goldberg vs. Hogan, Hall, etc. and I cannot believe how different today's commentary team is compared to those times . Back then you could really feel that these guys were "living" the show, Tony Schiavone, Heenan, all of them were adding to the experience. In WWE's post WCW-time JR was great too, but that's about it, today's team is light years away. WWE is a big company, so I don't believe they can't get better people. Is the monopoly the reason it sucks so much these days?

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.

He said it was his TNA farewell tour. Not that he was retiring.

Yes, but he did say he was taking a break from wrestling after finishing up with TNA: http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/618117-breaking-news-kurt-angle-says-he-will-take-a-break-from-wrestling-addresses-tna-bound-for-glory-would-he-entertain-a-wwe-return

No, that was when he announced he was leaving TNA; he said in that interview he wasn't going to renew his contract (which ended last month).

You're right. What I meant was that it was before it was all set out how he was going to leave, do the 'farewell', etc. 

So tonight: (I choose to have hope for the main event)

 

US Champion Kalisto vs Alberto Del Rio (2 out of 3 falls match)
Winner: ADR

 

AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho

Winner: AJ Styles

 

Ryback, Big Show, Kane vs The Wyatt Family
Winner: The Wyatt Family

 

Becky Lynch & Sasha Banks vs Naomi and Tamina

Winners: Becky Lynch & Sasha Banks

 

IC Champion Kevin Owens vs Dolph Ziggler

Winner: Kevin Owens

 

Divas Champion Charlotte vs Brie Bella

Winner: Charlotte

 

Dean Ambrose vs Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar

Winner: Dean Ambrose

 

I also think that Edge and Christian will introduce an opponent for New Day. Who do things that can't be taught. And they will win the match - just not sure if they take home the tag titles on the first night.

He didn't troll the 14 with the crown or the AJ Styles pic. Those were accurate. Just don't know which ones.

 

Meltzer said that Taker's WM opponent is someone thats not an active wrestler. People out injured are included in 'active'. So the list is actually very short. It has to be either Punk or Austin, really.

Well, Punk had back surgery very recently, so I'm not holding my breath there.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
