I was just going to post that MJ. Glad to see he's in a position of that caliber and not actually just announcing (though it'd be awesome if he does announce for them). He has an amazing mind and eye for wrestling, so he's in a good spot.

A lot happened while I was asleep, mostly at the WWE Hall of Fame - some c*** attacking Bret Hart during his speech, Dash Wilder being the MVP Top Guy punching said c***, Big E on the hard camera throughout the show, the digs at AEW, etc. - but a fair bit at the G1 Supercard, too: The Beautiful People debuting (straight after former member Madison Rayne rejoined Impact), and Enzo & Cass gatecrashing (not on camera, but looks like Bully Ray really has brought them in, same with TBP, what with him dating Velvet Sky), and that's just outside of the matches. Won't spoil those, and I haven't even mentioned Joey Janela's Spring Break outside of the GIF above.

Someone's been a...

Impact Wrestling announced today that it has terminated its relationship with Shaun Ricker, known as ‘Eli Drake’.

https://impactwrestling.com/eli-drake-relationship-terminated/

 

Refused to face Tessa Blanchard at United We Stand - Joey Ryan took his place - and he's been continually ###### on intergender wrestling on Twitter since. Seemed to ###### off the management so much that they wouldn't even wait for his contract to run out next month.

Wow, this is some promo Daniel Bryan did earlier, check it out:

 

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Kofi is gonna win it tonight. Why bother with all this build, and all the steps etc in his way, if WWE aren't going to give him his moment at WM? Even if he only holds the belt until tomorrow night or Tuesday night, it'll still be awesome to see. But, then again, WWE might just swerve it and let DB win.

Spoiler

So the Cena thing, I can't tell if he and WWE are just trolling the fans by bringing back the Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick and literally saying he's going heel on Elias - or Cena will actually bring back the Thug Life stuff again now that his career is winding down and all. And he gave Elias an FU instead of the AA.....guess we'll see for sure coming up.

 

Spoiler

So yeah, Baron Corbin beat Angle. What the hell Vince? I know Angle is passing the torch etc, but literally no one wanted to see Angle lose his last match to Baron Corbin at WM. Becky Lynch rolled up Ronda, and it looks like she is on her way out of the company to start a family. But where does this leave Flair? And Asuka? And everyone else?

 

HHH won, shocking I know. But you know what, Batista and HHH put on a damn good little match. The Illconics won the tag titles, which was nice to see. A lot of stuff happened at the show, but not a lot happened at the show, know what I mean?

 

Surprisingly, WrestleMania turned out pretty good,

Spoiler

even with Angle losing to Corbin, the random Lacey Evans, the botched main event finish, and the fact that it went on for SEVEN-AND-A-HALF BLOODY HOURS.

@LOCpretty much summed it up for me already, so I'm gonna turn to the indies again.

 

It's been a jam-packed WrestleMania week, to say the least. All in all, I've watched about 3 days worth of wrestling shows since Friday evening. I've seen (this is far from a comprehensive list)...

 

 

I regret nothing. 😛 

Some sad but expected news via the internets:

 

Dave Bautista has now officially retired from WWE.

Quote

To all the @wwe fans across the world that gave me the opportunity to suspend your disbelief, thank you. From the biggest part of my heart thank you for letting me entertain you. Tonight was my story book ending and I wanted to leave you with all I had to give. I’ll miss this theater of violence more than I can express in words but I am officially retiring from Sports Entertainment. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished, I leave in great health, and without a doubt the show will go on. I had a hell of a run. Thank you for the journey

Wrestlezone

 

 

Bautista is too busy with Hollywood to mess with the WWE now, maybe he'll drop by like the Rock sometimes but I doubt he'll work any more matches.

 

Spoiler

I haven't seen it yet but I did hear the womens main event ending was "botched" but some think that maybe they wanted it to be that way.  For example it allows Becky to win but at the same time doesn't make Ronda look weak and probably keeps their story going for later.  I think this probably means Charlette is out of the mix though.   I wonder what they're going to do now that Becky has both belts?  Are they going to go with a future 1 single Womens champion ship that floats between RAW and Smackdown?  

 

Spoiler

The supposed "botch" is utterly kayfabe.  The only way you'd not think this is if you didn't watch it and only read about it.

 

Have to say, it's got little to no commentary online, but I thought The Miz absolutely shone.  I think the match was lost in the event, but felt he really has come SO far.

FWIW, Sean Ross Sapp - one of the better wrestling journalists - is saying it didn't happen as planned.

    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99.

The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.
