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.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
