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

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.

    • 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).

    • 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.
