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.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
