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.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
