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).

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.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
