its the only one I am considering to watch. Rest i will skip

I think bray vs randy is an intriguing one. The foundation has been laid in a good fashion. The next 3 weeks will determine how hot the feud is going into wrestlemania. Dean and Baron Corbin need to pull up their socks to get some interest going.

 

Goldberg vs brock is going to be the worst match on the card in my opinion.

you are kinda right about bray and randy but wat randy did was too predictable

I remember stone cold had to give both of them a stunner to generate a good reaction from the crowd the last time they fought years ago

I still think that the match should have been luke vs randy vs bray, with randy betraying bray during the match but lets see where this goes. Smackdown has done good work with building their stars.

 

I think the match b/w gallaghar and neville at fastlane showed how good these cruiserweights can be. I suggest a solid 30 minute fatal four way b/w neville, austin aries, gallaghar and swann for cruiserweight champtionship at wrestlemania. I am pretty sure they could steal the whole show especially if it is a ladder match.

 

Finally, what about AJ? If he is actually going to take on shane mcmahon, then I think we may have a spotfest rather than a wrestling match.

i think you mean snorefest

Hmmm... I dunno. AJ can get great matches out of almost anybody. Shane is going to do some good spots and AJ can take care of the rest. It might not be as bad as people seem to think. The only bad thing about this match is that AJ is not in the main event picture at wrestlemania. The guy deserves a wrestlemania main event spot.

Did you catch austin aries vs tone nese match on 205 live? That was a good match. The cruiserweight division has an awesome talent pool, they can deliver the goods if only given appropriate in ring time.

Yeah but in the end he's in a high profile match against Vince's spot-fest son himself. I mean some of the most highly regarded matches ever (maybe not for the wrestling but eh whatever lol) involved Shane. And he's in great shape, so we know he can still move if needed (unlike in a Undertaker match where he himself is limited by UT's physical situation etc) and it'll obviously have a couple big spots and Shane will do his damnedest to make AJ look like solid 24K gold in the end. At least, we'd hope that's how it should go. AJ should obviously win.

It doesn't help either that 205 Live's on straight after Smackdown; the crowd are usually burned out and their lack of enthusiasm makes it look bad.

 

My goodness, Miz is on fire, This guy is gold right now, if he wins at WM in a heelish way, he is going to be damn hot. Smackdown needs to start showing these 2 minute clips on the main show. This is pure entertainment.

I agree with you on that, it should be sandwiched somewhere in the middle of smackdown. That match was quite good. It kind of showed me how good tony nese could be. He is genuinely talented.

Miz isn't winning at WM. The whole match (and from what they did last night, I'm now sure of it with the 'your relationship is only for show', 'he doesn't love you') is so that Cena can propose to Nikki in the ring after they win.

It should be taped before SDL. They can still air it after, but the crowd is more likely to come earlier to see 205 then to stay after the main event.

Miz losing to cena would be a travesty and that might even mean a burial of sorts.

 

Agreed, 205 should be taped

They have got a guy who can really stick it to baby faces with worked shoots, burying him at the biggest show of the year will make no sense. Other than to satiate cena's ego.

Cena DID lose to Miz when he really was 'Super' Cena - and at the Main Event of WM no less.

 

He isn't really SuperCena anymore. He's done a lot of losing in the past couple of years. 

 

He won't be losing this match, though.

they really should let miz win but they wont. They have to keep cena happy

Frankly it won't be best for business. Cena is leaving for hollywood as well. He will be a part timer. Miz on the other hand needs to rub so that he can be smackdown's or even WWE's best heel in years.

I wonder if there is real life heat between cena and miz. If so then only that can be a reason for miz losing to cena in an intergender tag match.

 

I personally think miz will win but I can see the validity of your concern.

    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.

Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
