WWE has announced a blockbuster signing in the form of 22-year-old prodigy Lio Rush.

 

Internationally recognized as one of the ring’s top high-flyers, Rush officially joined the WWE Performance Center today in Orlando, Fla.

 

Born Lionel Gerard Green, of Lanham, Md., Rush wrestled in high school, becoming a two-time All-American and three-time state qualifier. He began training for sports-entertainment in 2014 and, in less than three years, has competed in 43 states, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany and Ireland. In 2016, he won Ring of Honor’s Top Prospect Tournament, and earlier this year, he held the Combat Zone Wrestling Heavyweight Championship.

 

The 160-pounder quickly became a fan favorite on the independent scene for his daredevil creativity and unbelievable resiliency, as well as his “Dragon’s Call” finisher, a devastating frog splash that recalls D’Lo Brown’s split-leg variation. In joining the WWE PC, Rush reunites with a former tag team partner, current NXT Superstar The Velveteen Dream, with whom Rush co-held the Maryland Championship Wrestling Tag Team Titles in 2015.

I'm glad I discovered Wrestling with Wregret a few weeks ago. Along with a few other channels, I'm liking my wrestling news intake right now. Slat Rock Wrestling is near the top of my favorite channels list when it comes to wrestling stuff though, they do good lists and what not. :D (And of course, WrestletalkTV is still awesome even without the talk show anymore)

Speaking of them, just realised I haven't mentioned the Pro Wrestling World Cup; that's wrapping up this weekend.

 

 

Last night's quarter-finals are up as well, but the thumbnail obviously spoils the results for the round of 16.

The finals just started streaming!

AAA's Triplemanía XXV was on last night, streamed on Twitch for free. A lot of it's gonna end up on Botchamania again, and Sexy Star cemented her reputation as a complete *insert swear word here*. The fatal four-way title match she was in consisted of her spending most of the match outside not getting involved, no-selling practically everything - including chair shots & dustbin lids - shooting on Lady Shani and Ayako Hamada, and to top it off, trying to break Rosemary's arm, keeping an armbar locked in for ages after the match, and even trying to reapply it after the ref pulled her off (it's around the 2h20m mark in the stream). Rosemary thankfully seems to have escaped serious injury. Still, Vampiro had to drag Sexy to her backstage in order to apologise, and then she quickly left the building, as Lady Shani was understandably angry and wanted to continue things in the locker room. http://pwinsider.com/article/111916/updated-gfw-star-injured-at-aaa-triplemania.html?p=1

 

Unsurprisingly, a lot of GFW and indy wrestlers have voiced their outrage. Sami Callihan's tweet probably sums up the general sentiment best...

 

Sexy Star's probably blackballed herself from every half-decent promotion outside of Mexico now (not counting Lucha Underground, obviously).

 

 

And now to lighten the mood and finish on a high note, some gold from EC3...

There's gonna be another name added to the "list", I think. And not the list that one wants to end up on, either; but the list that keeps one from WORKING.

 

/smh ... Star knew what she was doing to the other three people in the match. And it's BS. There's gonna be a receipt.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
