Well, Sid's certainly full of ######, isn't he? At least the show got an upgrade in the end.

 

Sounds like Sid is one of those "it is never my fault" people.  Pay the damn ticket, get a passport.  I haven't flown in a plane for 30 years, but even *I* knew about the new travel laws about some states now require a passport.

Nice new gallery on WWE.com showing current wrestlers with classic championships: http://www.wwe.com/gallery/current-superstars-classic-titles-photos Here's a few...

So I'm thinking of watching some NJPW stuff now. Cuz WK12 looked awesome as hell. I know NJPW has been doing great work for years now, but man some of those matches looked amazing. And from all the top 10 matches of the year lists out now for 2017 and like, all 3 of the Omega vs. Okada (I think it was Okada) matches are in those lists lol I think Dave Meltzer game one of those matches a 6 star rating out of 5....so yeah good stuff.

Yeah, he went a little overboard with the ratings in 2017; you wait 23 years for another 6* match and then three of them turn up at once (plus a 5.75* match that he probably docked a quarter-star just because Naito was in it instead of Okada). :p

Everyone's still waiting on his ratings for WK12; there's bound to be at least two 5*'s in there.

 

At the very least, we know how big the show was: 34,995 paying fans in attendance and over 43,000 in total at the Tokyo Dome; big jump from the last few years - almost certainly fueled by foreign fans flying in to see Jericho vs. Omega - and the biggest wrestling show in Japan in ~15 years. https://www.f4wonline.com/japan/njpw-wrestle-kingdom-12-draws-34995-paid-tokyo-dome-249246 NJPW World had a hell of a jump, too, going from ~70k to ~95k subscribers in just 2 days for WK12; the same time last year, they went from ~50k to ~60k. And to top it all off for now, they recently announced their first ever shows in Australia.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
    • SpaceX has secured a significant cloud-services deal with Google, agreeing to a monthly payment of $920 million for computing power.  This agreement, covers approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs and other components.... https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/investments/google-to-buy-computing-from-spacex-at-920-million-per-month/131543026    
    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
