I'm not up on Japanese wrestling much these days sadly, but I thought Shibata was finished in his in ring career aka Edge aka Lita aka etc with the neck injury? I mean, I guess if Edge can do a spear all of a sudden, I guess Shibata can, do that stuff?

According to Meltzer, Shibata still isn't cleared to wrestle; that bit was apparently a one-off.

 

 

On a similar note, though, he also said Hiromu Takahashi is nearly ready to return.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that CM Punk’s agent has contacted the head honchos at FOX.

 

There are people in AEW who believe that Punk is WWE-bound while people in WWE are denying that. In the report, it was noted that Punk is represented by CAA, the same agency that represents WWE and that the agent reached out to see if FOX would be interested in hiring Punk to co-host the new WWE talk show.

 

The show is slated to air every Tuesday night on FS1 later this year as part of their deal to air SmackDown Live on FOX in October.

 

It should be noted that the show hosts would be paid by FOX and not WWE. Thus, the idea of Punk being involved with that show would probably not go over well with people in WWE management due to the history between the two sides.

The important thing to note is the fact that just because his agent contacted FOX about the opportunity doesn’t mean that Punk was aware of this and he’s interested. In many instances, agents will reach out to several places to gauge interest for their clients.

 

There have been no negotiations between Punk’s side and FOX about the hosting gig.

Ain't gonna happen. His agent's probably just trying it on to see if they'd offer crazy money, thus the agent would get a big cut. I wouldn't be surprised if a follow-up story comes out saying the agent went behind Punk's back and Punk had no knowledge until this story came out.

most of them are on ebay, going for $300+ CAD

No surprise there, since there's only 500 of them; hell of a markup from the original $40. No wonder it sold out in three hours.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
