How many tickets is that though?  Hmm, did a quick wiki check, looks like max is 11,800 seats.  Eh, it's doable for sure, AEW is the hot new thing.  I'd be more surprised if it didn't sell out.

I think the big surprise is that it sold out in half the time that All In did last year, even though they've already had a big "fly-in" event with Double or Nothing, plus there's two big shows happening here in the UK on the same day: NXT UK Takeover Cardiff + NJPW Royal Quest in London.

 

Only 36, and recent activity suggests it may have been suicide. This one's hitting hard for me. He was one of the foundations of ICW, a constant figure throughout, and helped play a part in the British wrestling revival through ICW's success.

 

Most of us here probably only first heard about him after AJ Styles broke his neck in a Styles Clash in 2014. He was back wrestling 12 months later, but did bits for ICW just four months afterwards...

 

Even after the injury, he still played the heel role to a tee.

 

He went from being the punchline...

 

...to being the straight shooter...

 

(but still cracking the odd joke)

 

...to finally beating his eternal rival after so many years and countless attempts...

 

...to winning the world title at their biggest show of the year.

 

 

RIP, Lionheart.

So yeah, its kinda sad that the best and most fun stuff in WWE right now is the  24/7 title stuff. I mean, we all know R-Truth can kill it (pun intended) with comedy bits but he's gone on to a new level with this thing. His facial expressions and overall reactions are just incredible if you ask me. Still think he should get a world title run before he hangs it up for good but that's not going to happen, even if he's good friends with Vince. Either way though, even EC3 looks like he's having fun (well except for a couple weeks ago when he looked like he could give two ###### lol) and overall its just a fun little thing going on. Hell, I'm having more fun watching this thing play out than Kofi or Seth as champion. Only thing better is Firefly Funhouse, and as soon as Bray gets back in the ring that'll get ruined.

I agree,  I think WWE is just treading water till SD goes to FOX and they don't know what to do till then.  At least that's what I hope is the case.  Otherwise how the whole creative team hasn't just been fired yet I can't understand.

Well, I have to admit that stomping ground wasn't half bad.  It's good to see they're still pushing Bayley, which I like.  And Ricochet winning the US title is also good to see.

Wait what? Seriously? If that's true, THANK GOD. Heyman alone will do wonders for RAW. Bishofff if kept in check enough, could also do wonders for SD. I hope its a real thing and not some storyline thing. PLEASE PLEASE. Also if this turns out to be true, I wonder who pushed Vince to do it, because lord knows I doubt he just decided to do it (considering the reporting on the reason Baron Corbin is being pushed....)

^ Word is that its not only a storyline thing, they are actually taking those positions IRL.

SI's article said it's not part of a storyline. The one catch is they both still report to Vince McMahon (and Bischoff also to FOX).

Well awesome then. Even if Vince has the final say, he's more open to XXXX from his writers and producers if someone pushes back on him and we know those two will since they've done it before. Plus, they will make WWE actual competition ready for AEW now instead of the other way around.

You know what, doing that for real and letting each show have it's own boss, even if they both report to Vince, is great.  We could actually have the two shows feuding with each other, a sorta respin on the old monday night wars, specially with SD going to FOX.    I agree that this could be big if done right, and someone has to be able to stand up to Vince and say, yeah, this isn't working.

 

Hell, I think Vince was pushed to it because he's seen the number going down, anything that effects the bottom line has to be addressed asap.  

Plus Vince is gonna be busy with the XFL when it launches, so he needs people he can trust heading things up. While I'm not sure if he trusts Bischoff or not (probably does though by this move) its pretty obvious he trusts Heyman creatively at the very least. HHH runs NXT and for now that's good enough for Vince since a lot of IWC fans think NXT is 100x better than the main roster product to begin with.

One other thing to keep in mind is that, XFL stuff aside, with SD going to FOX and FOX having dropped, what was it again?  $4billion?  To get it, they're for sure going to have input on what's going on and what they'd like to see.  Bischoff has experience with network suits, from his TNT days etc, so I think that also played into his deal.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • 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.
