Jim Ross announced today on his blog that he will be the play-by-play announcer for the WWE U.K. television show, teaming with Nigel McGuinness.

 

The first shows were taped on Saturday and Sunday in Norwich, England.

 

As of what we've heard, the shows will be broken up into weekly one-hour shows, similar to NXT, airing on the WWE Network. At the tapings, it was announced that the first episode would be debuting before the end of the month.

Triple H also tweeted the same thing.

 

Ross will continue to also do weekly television for AXS and New Japan Pro Wrestling due to the unique contract situation he has, so he will be announcing for the two largest pro wrestling companies in the world at the same time.

 

On his blog, he also noted that AXS would be making the announcement on May 18th of its broadcast plans for the New Japan shows on July 1st and July 2nd in Long Beach. The deal to air those events on AXS has been in talks for months. The events will also air live with Kevin Kelly and Don Callis on New Japan World.

So as an old person now, and someone who grew up with GLOW around (though I think I was kinda older by the time it showed up anyways, but I digress lol) this trailer (and I assume the series itself) nailed the look and feel of the original. I mean, this could literally be a new season of the original GLOW for all we know :D

^^ If you can find them someplace, I highly recommend them. I mean, don't go in expecting amazing wrestling or anything - its more of a nostalgia trip kinda thing. But some of the women and their characters were just AMAZING back then lol Plus some of them were so over the top, it was honestly astonishing they got away with some of them :D

 

Also, a few of the women involved probably could legit have been women wrestlers. Dunno if any of them ever did transition over to actual wrestling though after GLOW closed down.

I am old enough that I actually *watched* GLOW when it was first on!  Big Bad Momma was actually on an episode of Married with Children, and beat the stuffins out of Al Bundy.  And Roller Derby was fun also.

Yup, I still remember seeing her on Married With Children and yelling at the TV at my friends house and he looked at me like i was nuts heh.

...so, WWE's UK special went up on Friday. Good show there. Then Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate only go and top their UK title tournament final match at NXT Takeover Chicago last night (with JR on commentary as the cherry on top). Bloody hell, that one's almost certainly an MOTY contender.

 

I think it's safe to say even with Nakamura vs. Ziggler tonight, Backlash isn't gonna top Takeover Chicago.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
