Why did they move Finn Balor back to NXT?  Is he there to promote up and coming stars, or just to feud with a few there before they are moved to Raw/Smackdown?

Haven't got a clue, but I'm not complaining; he's better suited in NXT, and it's now being treated as a third brand on the same level as Raw and SmackDown, so it makes sense to throw some star power their way.

NXT Worlds Collide was pretty good.    The womens title match was the weakest one I'd say but I think maybe there was a botch so things had to change on the fly?  I could be wrong though.

I must say, the royal rumble was very good overall.  They played it well and actually kept the narratives going.  

 

Spoiler

And dude, mad respect for Beth Phoenix, holy crap that hit to the back of the head.  I didn't think she'd go that long after that.

I can't speak to AEW but as far as WWE shows go, NXT has been on point and as of the new year even RAW has been better.  Smackdown still needs work but I think we're going to get there also.  The issue is the silly Saudi Arabia show screws things because it forces them to come up with fan "dream matches" that don't fit in with any of the current story lines they might have going.  They should move that show to a later date where they're a bit more free to book matches not between the rumble and mania.

NXT is so strong at the moment for example tonight was TakeOver and every match on that show was at least 4.5/5 it's the only PPV I watch bar Mania/Rumble

I am definitely not interested in a 2 night Mania and the fact its been recorded as well, should've postponed it

Can't really postpone it, though. You need to have the matches. Unless you're just not going to have new programming, which I'm sure USA and Fox would not have liked.

 

It shouldn't be called 'WrestleMania' though, just call it some special name, and hold WM later in the year.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
