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).

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
