I really, really don't like Moxley's mannerisms and way of delivering promos at all. I mean he wasn't the best at it in WWE either mind you (and obviously had to keep to a script way more than here in AEW) but in these promos (and especially that GCW one above) I just don't like the way he uh....moves? Plus, not for nothing, but AEW trying to make Shawn Spears aka Dillinger a big threat to the Rhodes let alone anyone else is kinda funny to me. I mean I know the guy can go in the ring fairly well and can do promos pretty good - but putting him with Tully Blanchard out of no where?? I mean if they wanna push him to the moon that's fine of course, but there has to be some room for believabilitys sake I guess? If you know what I mean. Also I haven't slept in 3 days so my spelling is probably all over the place in this one, sorry guys lol

No one can cut promos like the late grates of the attitude era and older, back when there was no "script".  There were at best talking points but most stuff was just made up on the fly by the talent.

Unfortunately, in WWE at least - as Moxley said on Jericho's podcast - they're not allowed to go off-script, and if it happened, usually the writer would get punished instead.

NWA Champion Nick Aldis is no longer advertised for the 8/9 Ring of Honor Summer Supercard event in Toronto as Ring of Honor and the National Wrestling Alliance will not be working together going forward, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

 

NWA Vice President Dave Lagana, who had been producing all of the ROH pre-tapes over the last seven months, finished his commitments with Ring of Honor this past weekend as well.

 

PWInsider.com is told that the decision was made for each promotion to go their separate ways and that NWA President Billy Corgan intends on putting all his energy towards producing a weekly stand-alone NWA series later this year once he completes the current Smashing Pumpkins tour.

 

Sources close to each promotion have stated that they have parted ways on amicable terms and the door is open to potentially partner down the line.

 

The two companies partnered earlier this year on reviving the Crockett Cup, which was won by PCO and Brody King, who remain the NWA Tag Team Champions.

WWE wrestler Jimmy Uso was arrested early Thursday morning in Florida on charges of driving under the influence, jail records show. 

 

Uso (real name Jonathan Fatu) was booked into the Escambia County Corrections Center in Pensacola at 3:04 a.m. and released at 10:15 a.m. on $1,000 bond.

 

TMZ first reported the arrest. 

 

This is the second time in five months that Uso has been arrested for an incident allegedly involving alcohol. In February, he was arrested in Detroit after what TMZ described as “a drunken dispute with cops.” Uso’s wife, fellow WWE superstar Naomi (Trinity Fatu), was also present at the time of that incident. He was previously arrested for DUI in 2011 and 2013. 

 

The arrest comes just days after John Cena cracked a joke about Uso’s run-ins with the law during Monday Night Raw.

    • Microsoft and OpenAI's relationship continues to crumble

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      On Tuesday, Microsoft drilled another hole in the duo's sinking relationship with the debut of its MAI-Thinking-1 AI model, a midsize model that the company said is intended for high-efficiency, low-token-cost situations...... https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/article/microsoft-and-openais-relationship-continues-to-crumble-183330195.html  
    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

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

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
