In more positive news, Simon Miller made his pro wrestling debut last night!

 

I don't know if anyone here watches WhatCulture's wrestling videos, but if you do, odds are you're familiar with him; he's arguably one of the guys keeping the channel afloat since the big personalities left and formed Cultaholic last year. I've been following him for a good few years now, going back to his work at Videogamer.com - where The Miller Report began and eventually grew into its own channel, along with all of the other stuff he's doing now - and it's amazing to see how far he's come.

Man, as a life long wrestling fan - its amazing to see Simon Miller fulfill his dream of becoming a pro wrestler. Glad to see the crowd pop also. Now I can't wait to see him debut on RAW and take out Lesnar.

So... Having finally watched GRR - gotta say what a tonne of BS.  Politically that is.

 

So WWE parade around this "Women's revolution" stuff, but at the first scent of arab $$$ they see fit to shelve that and bend over for rich saudi princes, making a mockery of it all.  Not only this but also playing all the promos claiming how progressive Saudi Arabia is?  This is a country where women were stoned for adultery up until recently, and in some cases as the victims of rape!  Shove it up your a$$ Vince!

Ugh, I'd have nightmares with a doorbell chime like that. Also, what was with that filter on Reby's phone there! Holy blown out whites batman!

I assume it was Snapchat. I stopped using it a couple of months ago, so I wouldn't know for sure; it's the dog filter I'm familiar with, thanks to seeing it on so many dating profiles...

On top of all that, when they slipped up and showed some of the women through that awful musical ad for the co-branded PPVs, the organisers issued that statement reassuring people there won't be any women's wrestling whatsoever in future.

 

They signed a bloody 10-year deal, too - allegedly worth $200 million - so there's gonna be a lot more where that came from. Hell, it seems they're heading back there as soon as November...

 

If you want a recent story of Vince getting his arse handed to him, though, seems like his XFL revival might be dead before it even gets off the ground. I found out recently there's another new American football league starting up with some big backing behind it: the Alliance of American Football, co-founded by Charlie Ebersol, son of Dick Ebersol, who co-founded the original XFL with Vince, and also did that great "This Was the XFL" documentary for ESPN. They're planning to get up and running next year straight after the Super Bowl, so they'll beat the XFL to the field by a year, and with CBS backing them, Vince's XFL revival will probably be dead on arrival now.

Exactly.  Don't get me wrong, I don't expect corporates to not pursue financial agendas, but don't then pretend to be "inclusive" and "supporting women" when you also support regimes that are so intolerant.

Yup, still awesome to see Simon Miller make his debut like that. And while it was only like 40 seconds of him actually in the ring doing anything, he looked OK for his first time. You can tell he was a bit hesitant with that press slam into the ups and downs thingy. Though I do like how he's calling it the ups and downs - cuz you know Whatculture Wrestling videos he does right?! heh.

 

Also, he looks way, way slimmer and less uh, "massive" than I thought he'd look. I mean he's ripped for sure compared to any normal human - but he also seems I dunno, smaller somehow? The singlet was a nice touch though. And the crowd was certainly into him and knew who he was, which musta felt great for him! Puts a smile on my face every time I think about it actually. Really glad for him and I hope he can go places in his wrestling  career, I mean knowing he's an older guy starting out now he reminds me of DDP.

I'm sure a lot of you haven't heard of RJ City, he's based in Toronto. He's kind of a funny guy too.

Can't say I have heard of him before. The catchphrase doesn't ring a bell, either, but then again, I've been slow to pick up on those before; took me a while before I found out why people were going "It's yersel!" when Grado started getting popular. Looking at his Twitter, though, I'm curious...

 

See he's also wrestling at House of Hardcore when they go to Canada next month.

 

Speaking of HOH, Tommy Dreamer had a great comedy match over the weekend with a guy called "The ManScout" Jake Manning at Sami Callihan's Wrestling Revolver promotion that Impact streamed on Twitch. I'll just leave this clip they made...

 

Oh, and speaking of Sami Callihan, he's really milking the heel heat he's getting for all its worth. He had a street fight against Kevin Sullivan a few weeks ago (yes, the Taskmaster) and left him looking pretty bad, and now Don Callis took one for the team.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
