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.

    • 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.
