All I gotta say about anything right now is, who the hell wrote and came up with the idea of Lashley making out with Lana on stage like that for like 5 minutes? Who thought that was a good idea, because I can almost promise you Paul Heyman did not 😛 I mean I might be interested in a fued between Lashley and Rusev (if they FINALLY push Rusev right) with Lana involved. But they kinda did the same story a few years back or however long it was with Rusev and Lana and Summer Rae etc (I think Ziggler was involved also?) not to mention the whole angle they did with them and that British dude I can't remember his name (sorry dude!).

 

Also, I really hope they don't ship AJ Styles back to Smackdown next week for the new draft. I imagine they will but I'd much rather see him on RAW to be honest. Especially if Richocet and Alexander etc all stay on RAW. So unless they move a ton of the high flyers to Smackdown, leave Styles there. Plus he's still got a Universal title run coming up I'd hope at some point. I know they are going to really stack the deck in favor of Smackdown because of the move to FOX and all, but if that's in the detriment to RAW itself then, no thanks.

Well, I stayed up for both NXT and AEW - mostly AEW, and NXT's still going on at the moment - but it was worth staying up late and booking a day off work to recover from this all-nighter. 😛 I won't spoil anything yet, but it's safe to say we've definitely got competition again. It's a great time to be a wrestling fan!

Well I'd imagine AEW would win week one in the ratings, since most people would be interested in the new thing and not the thing that's been on for a week already and not the new new thing....right.

 

In any event, those numbers aren't great for NXT, unless WWE is happy with a drop below 1 million already. I imagine that's also from AEW being on, but hell during the Monday Night Wars everyone was switching back and forth and with today's ways of watching, who knows.

NXT only lost about 100,000 viewers from last week, so AEW definitely seem to be picking up the lapsed fans that they're targeting. The other thing that hinders NXT is, ironically, the WWE Network, as it's a lot easier to watch on-demand, so when choosing between the two, people will be more likely to watch AEW live. Still, over 2 million Americans watched wrestling on a Wednesday night; that alone is impressive. 😛

 

What isn't impressive though is ITV's treatment of Dynamite. First technical issues meant they uploaded it to the ITV Hub almost 3 hours later than planned, and now after looking through it, they've made some fairly substantial edits: no intro, none of the pre-taped promos, and worst of all, an entire match is missing (MJF vs. Brandon Cutler)!

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By thartist · Posted

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.
