Word is that Bischoff was absolutely not involving himself.  Didn't get up to speed on the talent, was barely available and unreachable and contributed nothing.

I hadn't heard that, but I did hear that he knew going in it was temporary and he was there just to be the fall guy when WWE screws up and Fox get unhappy (which probably happened sooner than expected, thanks to that calamitous cockup of a draft).

The draft that held water for literally 5 mins!  The source of my comments was WhatCulture, for what that's worth.

I would assume they'll have a working relationship with AEW (and possibly ROH) then when they launch this American subsidiary. Sharing talent with them makes sense, since AEW does this already with AAA etc right?

AEW may be a possibility, since Jericho and Moxley are both expected to compete at Wrestle Kingdom 14. Hell, Moxley was still the IWGP US champion until last week, and only because he couldn't make it to Japan due to Typhoon Hagibis.

 

As for ROH, they've not had much attention from NJPW since the MSG show in April, and ROH have been working more with CMLL instead, even using them for the Global Wars shows this year, and making Rush their world champion recently (finally taking the title off of the god-awful Matt Taven).

 

AAA's a curious one, as they've got a working relationship with AEW (along with MLW and Impact), but none of their full-time wrestlers have appeared on AEW yet, only their tag titles at All Out; so far, it's just been guys signed with AEW who also make the odd appearance in AAA: Jack Evans, Kenny Omega, Sammy Guevara, the Young Bucks, and the Lucha Bros. It's a similar story with OWE since Double or Nothing (outside of CIMA), although that's probably more down to experience, since their roster's still pretty new.

    • 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?

      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.
