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.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
