Did the crowd really chant "we can't read" ? And that dude screaming BOOKS and WORDS etc was kinda hysterical. Dunno who Leva Bates is but she has a look that's for sure, not sure about this SHHHHH I'm a librarian gimmick thing. Crowd didn't seem to like it much except for the actual comedy bits.  Also are they really doing a Fyre Fest parody through the whole show?? Might get old but could be gold.

She's the former Blue Pants from NXT; does a lot of cosplay on her indie appearances.

 

The librarian thing seems to be a very subtle TNT reference, as they apparently have a show called The Librarians.

 

As for her match, yeah, it was hit and miss; didn't help that Allie was a last-minute change, as it was supposed to be Kylie Rae, but they never even mentioned the change (or her) at all. She also hasn't tweeted for nearly a fortnight, so hope she's ok.

 

 

Pre-show was definitely a mixed bag; the tag team opener was good, obviously mentioned Allie/Leva, and Nakazawa/Jebailey was divisive, to say the least, but I enjoyed the DDT-style comedy match, plus Jim Cornette practically gave himself a stroke watching it, so win-win.

 

Definitely picked up on the main card, though. There's a lot of stuff to talk about there, but it's half 4 in the morning here, so I'll save it for later. Wasn't free here, but still well worth the £9 I paid for it, and the FITE stream was pretty solid throughout (just a shame it wasn't 60fps).

So THAT chair shot.  I understand now that it was a botch and not planned to go down that way, but do we really want undefended chair shots to the head?  I have to say that it utterly soured the PPV for me.  Otherwise, yeah another strong PPV, not quite Double Or Nothing, but definitely glad I watched it.

So with Fight for the Fallen going on, I just thought I'd add that Jeff Hardy was arrested for public intoxication down in South Carolina. He got a fine (for a first time offender in Myrtle Beach that is) and was released. WWE basically said Hardy is responsible for his own actions. Don't forget Jeff is also sidelined with an injury that's gonna keep him out for 6-9 months or so. :( Feel bad for the guy, I hope he isn't going back to his old ways, I really don't want to see that Jeff Hardy again.

I don't know if this means Punk is itching to get back into the wrestling ring or not, but I wouldn't look for him to show up in WWE anytime soon if he does. Certainly AEW is the most likely spot for him to appear if he does decide to return. But, who knows, maybe HHH and Punk can make up or level things out for a return. I mean, Ultimate Warrior, Hogan etc all made their way back eventually. Punk is no exception and while he's a damn good performer I would never put him on the level of a Hogan or Warrior at their peaks. Say what you will about in ring ability or lack thereof - Punk just isn't the caliber of Hogan (yet).

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
