Well, who all is deciding if watching Roadblock this weekend will be worth it, or even WrestleMania?  I am not sure about watching either one, due to the way the product is being done.

I'll watch it; the live WWE Network specials are usually decent.

Speaking of Mr. Anderson...

Quote

Ken Anderson was released from TNA Wrestling after he failed a drug test … and multiple backstage sources tell us it was given to him after he appeared to be under the influence during a match.


Sources with knowledge of the situation tell us the match against Eric Young was supposed to air on January 19th, but Anderson looked so bad in the ring they had to remove it from the show.

We’re told he was immediately forced to take a drug test backstage, then sent home.

WWE Network was so bad tonight I completely missed the ending to HHH vs Ambrose. I had to go look up who won. :angry:

It was ###### at the beginning for me, then was fine by 20-30 minutes in. I've had some awful experiences trying to watch NXT weekly, though.

So, note to self: don't use the Network's free trial to watch WrestleMania. If it collapses under the traffic of a live house show, then WrestleMania will be a disaster to watch on there.

I honestly think that what needs to happen is WWE will have to pull a Netflix and buy peering agreements with the major providers. For me on demand stuff plays back fine 99% of the time. It's the live PPV's and specials where the network falls flat on it's ass for me. Doesn't seem to matter what platform I try on PS3, 360, HTPC or tablet.

They don't run it themselves. Its done by Major League Baseball Advanced Media. I think its more of a problem with the platform than bandwidth.

I remember reading about that situation with Netflix getting throttled by some of the big ISPs in America until Netflix paid them to stop it; that ###### is just blackmail from the ISPs. I can't believe they get away with it over there.

well, RAW wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be.  Really wanted Ziggler to beat HHH, but naw, can't have that, but was a good match.  Reigns got his "receipt" on HHH after that match, and "busted" HHH up a little in the head.  Crowd didn't sound into it, though, even though Reigns broke a monitor over HHH's back.  Shane botched his speech a bit, but otherwise did okay until "daddy Vince" pushed him into Undertaker.  I guess seeds planted for 'Taker to maybe turn on Vince?

Oh, yeah- crowd HATED "League of Nations" beating down Newday.  Seemed like the League wasn't really in to it  either, but that's just how it looked.

I just can't see the HHH vs Roman going on last. Just imagine Roman wins the belt and as Mania is going off air 100,000 people are booing his ass out of the stadium.

You won't need to imagine it, come April 3rd. What else could they close the show with? Shane vs. Taker would be a weird choice, Ambrose vs. Lesnar could work, but that seems pretty unlikely to happen.

Just watched last night's live episode of Impact Wrestling; go watch it if you can. TNA's seriously been on a roll recently; not even Josh Matthews on commentary can spoil it!

 

Spoiler

 

Guess Vince was right all along; he's the chosen one!

I'm expecting he'll return to ICW soon with the TNA title in hand (and probably cause a riot, or at the very least, get deafened by the "F*** TNA!" chants).

    • 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.
