People all over forums saying how the PostMania crowd were terrible and it makes the show unsuitable for children...

 

The night after a man punched and dragged his elbow across the forehead of another man, spilling about a pint of blood across the canvass and his own face.

(watching Lesnar do that to Reigns and Orton made me really uncomfortable)

Hats off to Joe Hendry for at least making it to the Commonwealth Games, especially since he's only been at it for about four years and even became the UK champion late last year.

The WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament events at Royal Albert Hall are beginning to take shape, as WWE.com has confirmed that a one-night tournament, a Six-Man Tag Team Match and several title defenses are slated for the historic back-to-back shows on June 18 and 19.

 

The events kick off with a United Kingdom Championship Tournament on Monday, June 18. Though the competitors have yet to be revealed, it is now known that the winner of the tournament will earn an opportunity to challenge WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne the following night inside London’s most vaunted venue.

 

The BruiserWeight will also be in action on June 18, teaming with Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) to face NXT’s Undisputed ERA. This match announcement comes on the heels of Roderick Strong’s betrayal of Dunne, and subsequent joining with Undisputed ERA, at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans. Will Dunne lead his fellow proponents of British Strong Style to victory against the black-and-yellow brand’s most controversial faction?

 

In addition to Dunne’s title defense against the tournament winner, the event on Tuesday, June 19, will feature three NXT Championship Matches, including an NXT North American Championship Match, an NXT Women’s Championship Match and an NXT Tag Team Championship Match. Adam Cole, Shayna Baszler and Undisputed ERA are the current titleholders, respectively, but with NXT TakeOver: Chicago happening just days before the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament events this June, there’s no telling who will be champions when WWE returns to Royal Albert Hall for the first time since 1991.

Unsurprisingly, the tickets cost a bomb, starting at £56.50 (~$80), then £67.80 (~$96.50) and finally, £84.75 (~$120). But holy ######, British Strong Style vs. The Undisputed Era! :woot:

 

The shows will look amazing in The Royal Albert Hall; it may only hold about 5,500, but there's a very good reason why it's so revered.

Wait, don't get me wrong or anything I love Steiner (even though he's so over the top it isn't funny) but, the dude can't wrestle anymore. Literally. Last time I saw him in a ring, it was like Kurt Angle, but 10x worse. Can't turn his head/neck without turning his entire body plus he could hardly walk. Unless they did some amazing miraculous surgery on him that I don't know about in the last few years - how the hell is he going to wrestle? Now if he's just a mouth piece, that'll be fun to listen to sure lol (Plus if his back and neck are so bad, wouldn't it be like - bad or something for him to wrestle??)

 

That Sacrifice interview btw, gets me every time :D Glad Impact/TNA literally posted it themselves heh.

Well, he did wrestle at the Impact vs. Lucha Underground show last week, so feel free to witness the trainwreck! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/247553403?t=00h35m16s

 

I'm sure Don Callis knows what he's doing; it'll probably just be Eli Drake carrying him for most of the match. Like you said, he's worth having on just as a talker, as this week's episode proved...

Yeah, no idea why Impact thought it was a good idea to bring him back in, considering how super limited he is in the ring. Just as a talker, sure. But why wrestle then? Regardless, I guess its cool he's back into a major promotion (is Impact still considered a major promotion anymore though?) and still has a passion for doing it - I guess.

I think it is; they've still got a national TV deal in America, and so do ROH, who are definitely considered major nowadays, especially considering who owns them.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By lonegull · Posted

      "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
