Wait, so Jeff Hardy has now joined Broken Matt Hardy and is named Decay Jeff Hardy? So I guess he was deleted completely? I DONT UNDERSTAND! This is what I get for not watching TNA every week I guess...

I'll try to fill you in as best as I can. :p

 

Decay refers to the stable of Abyss, Crazzy Steve, and Rosemary, who are currently the tag team champions. Jeff Hardy Brother Nero is still the obsolete mule that Broken Matt Hardy made him into, only he's now broken, too, after this...

 

They became a tag team once again, Matt "trained" him...

 

...then they became the #1 contenders to the tag team titles.

 

And now they're facing Decay for the titles at Bound for Glory next month. The entire saga is all in a playlist here (not the actual Botchamania guy, though; no idea why they're pretending to be him).

 

 

Meanwhile, over in the Knockouts division, Cherry Bomb won the title last week! But there's a catch: her gimmick in TNA is an annoying PA with a voice to rival Vickie Guerrero who has zero wrestling experience...

 

This year's PWI 500 is out: http://www.profightdb.com/pwi-500/2016.html (for some reason, #12 is missing on that page at the moment; it's Tetsuya Naito)

 

There's gonna be a lot of boiled ###### at this year's #1...

As everybody knows, I am a former WWE and TNA Superstar. As everybody also knows, WWE has been attempting to reach out to former WWE stars to help build the RAW and Smackdown Live dynasty. Recently, I was approached by a man named Mark Carrano. He offered me a full-time deal to return to the RAW brand. I kindly declined. I'm 38 years old, my body isn't capable of being a full-time WWE wrestler anymore like it was back in 2006, 10 years ago. I like the idea of being on the independent scene, mainly because I get to pick the dates I want to work. After recent concussion issues, I was advised to retire. I said no. 2 months later, I made a remarkable recovery and was cleared to compete. Although, I just didn't feel as good as I used to when I wrestled full time. Since February 2016, I have been semiretired. If WWE decides to reconsider and offer me a part-time deal, I'd gladly accept it. I have no bad blood with WWE, I just can't physically compete full-time anymore. As far as a TNA return goes, consider it off the table. At least WWE knows how to pay their talents on time, just saying...

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but there will be an NXT Takeover in Toronto this night before Survivor Series. Raw will also be in Toronto the night after. All 3 will be at the Air Canada Centre. The 3 NXT house shows in Toronto, Kitchener and St. Catharines for September 21, 22 and 23 were cancelled.

Never saw this before; don't know how I missed it until now. :laugh: 

Haha, I actually remember that - mainly because Batista turned on Evolution not long after and I was watching WWE every week waiting for his turn (it was rumored for weeks online etc which was still a new thing for getting rumors and news for wrestling back then). I was watching that Monday with some friends after work and one of them was quite drunk and asked me why that muscled man was chasing that blonde woman LOL :p

As previously reported, Billy Corgan is the man in charge of TNA now, and Dixie Carter is on her way out. The way that Corgan took charge, with Carter being named “Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer,” is being done so that she can save face on her way out. She did not stay for the entire tapings, and the word is that she only cares about exiting without getting egg on her face.

 

Corgan still faces the same issues going forward, he is running a company that doesn’t create enough revenue to cover payroll and TV production, which is why he and Aroluxe had to invest in TNA in the first place. The company has also shown an inability to create profit off both live events and PPV for years.

According to F4WOnline.com, former WWE star Cody Rhodes is heading to TNA Wrestling.

 

Dave Meltzer spoke with Cody at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla’s Battle of Los Angeles this weekend, and the former Stardust reportedly has a deal in place with TNA and is planning on working for both TNA and Ring of Honor but will not be under contract to either.

 

Cody is apparently planning on feuding with Mike Bennett in TNA after the two recently worked together in Northeast Wrestling. Brandi Rhodes, the former Eden, has been doing some of Cody’s ring announcing on the Indy scene, and it sounds like she may appear in TNA as well, possibly in a mini-feud with Bennett’s wife Maria Kanellis.

Well, just watched it, and here it is (plus most of the buildup)...

 

Yes, they really fought a kangaroo that supposedly has the soul of Smokin' Joe Frazier. TNA didn't upload the whole private zoo segment, which also had Matt talking to a giraffe with the soul of George Washington, a tiger with Genghis Khan's soul, and a cage full of spot monkeys nicknamed after about half of the X Division plus "Matt and Nick, the Bucks of Youth".

Well, guess the rumours were real; going by them, Paige might be the next one released, as WWE apparently threatened to fire her if she didn't break up with ADR, and she's now hired legal representation.

 

And Del Rio's holding a press conference in Mexico City today. It was supposedly to announce his departure from WWE, so WWE beat him to the punch. I'm guessing he'll announce he's returning to AAA (and hopefully Lucha Underground).

Quote

As noted, Alberto Del Rio held a press conference today in Mexico to address his current status, and the following are some highlights courtesy of Lucha Blog.

 

Del Rio was going by his former ring name Alberto El Patron, and although he announced yesterday he would be addressing his WWE Wellness Policy violation and subsequent 30 day suspension, he never spoke about the situation.

 

Instead, Del Rio stated publicly that he finished up with WWE because he was not happy with his second run in the company, and that his passion for wrestling was beginning to wane. Del Rio added he feels like he has accomplished all he can in WWE and it was time to move on. He noted the split between him and WWE was amicable and there are no negative feelings towards the company.

 

As for his future in pro wrestling, Del Rio said he is clear to work anywhere outside the U.S., and he is working on getting cleared for U.S. appearances soon. He added he is not looking to sign anywhere, and he is looking ahead to retirement. He feels he will likely retire in two years.

 

Del Rio’s first post-WWE appearance has already been announced as he and his brother Memo will be facing Zack and Roy Knight, the brothers of WWE star Paige, for the WAW promotion in Norwich, England. WAW is the promotion owned by Paige’s parents, Ricky and Saraya Knight.

 

As noted, Paige, Del Rio’s real life girlfriend, was in attendance for today’s press conference, but not in an official capacity.

    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
