Lack of Grado is ridiculous.  Boy did he back the wrong horse...

Not just Grado, either; no Joe Hendry, Will Ospreay, Zack Sabre Jr., Jimmy Havoc, Martin Kirby, El Ligero, Rampage Brown, Marty Scurll, Pastor William Eaver, Lewis Girvan, Chris Renfrew, Mikey Whiplash, Kenny Williams, not even Big Damo, who just debuted on NXT last week. No Drew Galloway or Mark Andrews, either, for the same reasons as Grado. Still, it's nice to see WWE give us a bit more attention than usual; thank you, ITV. :p

Yeah, kinda figured Nigel would go to WWE, but not with something like this. This is pretty sweet. Real good on HHH (I assume its his idea, as anything decent these days idea wise comes from him probably lol) to do this for our UK wrestling brothers and sisters. Good to see so many names I actually know now after checking out ICW and a few other promotions over beyond the pond.

 

Still, kinda disappointed Grado isn't there as Nefarious said. Maybe he'll be added down the road, or there will be some feedback and WWE will go for him then. Who knows.

 

And I'd doubt very much Drew Galloway would want to do WWE again. I mean, he went from literally the next John Cena expectation to, nothing? Good wrestler, can tell a good story in the ring and all. But the WWE fans just never cared and never let him get over in any significant way. Don't think that'll change now, unless the UK thing just stays in the UK and its literally like NXT where its almost a separate promotion.

He was fined 250 k of his 2.5million prize and suspended for 1 yr retroactive to July 9th 2016 ...........He SHOULD be fined the entire purse, the win vacated, and banned for a full year.

Total Nonstop Deletion got put up online a day early, so I just watched it... :omg:

 

All I'll say is check your brain at the door and you'll laugh your arse off. Two criticisms, though...

Spoiler
  1. They never showed the end of the world title match.
  2. No Bucks of Youth.

So uh, you guys think they are really gonna pull the trigger on a Cena heel turn? Because it sure sounded like they were teasing a heel Cena on SDL last night.

Nah, they probably just teased it because they were in Chicago.

 

Speaking of which...

Not gonna lie, that was a pretty good jab at Punk lol

 

Also, wow. Maybe I just noticed, but man Stephanie is starting to look a bit rough these days. Like, her face is way more rounded looking to me, and looks really odd to boot. I mean, she's still quite attractive don't get me wrong and I know she's not 22 anymore or however old she was back in 1999 etc. But jeez. HHH kinda is also going that route, but because he's like super ripped still it doesn't look as bad to me?

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      Cool. It definitely needed some work before

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
