They wanted 100K, they were going to get it, no matter what. 94000 is damn impressive though.

Still, why lie in this day and age? Back in the WrestleMania 3 days, it was obviously easy to keep the real figure a secret, but nowadays, it's practically impossible; the real figure came out just ~5 hours after they announced the fake attendance.

Because they wanted 100k. Kind of like they wanted Roman to win.

OK, so... I don't want to start a flame war, but what did Wrestlemania actually achieve?  It used to be seen as the climax of storylines or a turning point at least.

 

 

 

  • Kalisto is secured as a single competitor now?  That's great I guess :)
  • Total Diva's (now Diva being a retired brand?) win - don't care
  • Uso's defeat Dudleys - well this may be Dudleys last run and gives the Uso's a push, but... Well I never feel that WWE care about tag wrestling anymore
  • Zack Ryder gets a Wrestlemania moment but loses the strap the next night?  At least he has something of a feud now? :)
  • AJ Styles loses? Why? What does Jericho gain from the win? :(
  • League of Nations win but then look weak being beaten by 3 retired guys :(  Where do New Day go now? :(
  • Lesnar defeats Ambrose - predictable but why? OK, Lesnar is booked as a monster but who really cares unless someone beats him for a purpose?  Ambrose is so over, but this weakens him :(
  • I don't give a rat's ass about Charlotte
  • Corbin wins the Battle Royal - this is great, but it's meaningless, it's certainly not been followed up in the last two
  • Rock/Cena beat Wyatts - OK, so Cena get's a major push for his return, but did he need it?  It sort of kills any "heel" talk, and makes the Wyatt's look even weaker than ever
  • Reigns beats HHH - predictable, get's the strap on the most boring talker in the game but gets the authority off screen for a week at least
  • Taker beats Shane - amazing match but... So Shane ran Raw anyway, Taker is nowhere to be seen, literally no storyline to this whatsoever

 

 

It all just felt a little pointless?

  • Kalisto is secured as a single competitor now?  That's great I guess :) - True
  • Total Diva's (now Diva being a retired brand?) win - don't care - don't care either
  • Uso's defeat Dudleys - well this may be Dudleys last run and gives the Uso's a push, but... Well I never feel that WWE care about tag wrestling anymore - they didn't care for a long time, unfortunately
  • Zack Ryder gets a Wrestlemania moment but loses the strap the next night?  At least he has something of a feud now? :) - No idea about this one...
  • AJ Styles loses? Why? What does Jericho gain from the win? :( - about the same thing that HHH gained from winning vs. Sting at WM...
  • League of Nations win but then look weak being beaten by 3 retired guys :(  Where do New Day go now? :( - well, these 3 retired guys are not just any guys, so I get this one, it was a "Wrestlemania moment"
  • Lesnar defeats Ambrose - predictable but why? OK, Lesnar is booked as a monster but who really cares unless someone beats him for a purpose?  Ambrose is so over, but this weakens him :( - not really, they wanted to show the people that Ambrose can give Lesnar a real challenge, and he did, people will remember that he 'almost" won, not that he lost
  • I don't give a rat's ass about Charlotte - same
  • Corbin wins the Battle Royal - this is great, but it's meaningless, it's certainly not been followed up in the last two - agreed
  • Rock/Cena beat Wyatts - OK, so Cena get's a major push for his return, but did he need it?  It sort of kills any "heel" talk, and makes the Wyatt's look even weaker than ever - Cena, heel? Not in this life time, no matter how many people want it and how logical it would be, considering he's getting boooed every time. Again, another "Wrestlemania moment", so I wouldn't bother with it too much
  • Reigns beats HHH - predictable, get's the strap on the most boring talker in the game but gets the authority off screen for a week at least - that's the best thing that came out of that match
  • Taker beats Shane - amazing match but... So Shane ran Raw anyway, Taker is nowhere to be seen, literally no storyline to this whatsoever - Vince McMahon. Need I say more?

 

 

It all just felt a little pointless?

Replied in bold :)

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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. 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.
