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.

Yeah I agree, I wouldn't be against a Summer Wrestlemania, open air would be epic

Having watched both nights - there were some "Well a match happened and that's that" parts, but I actually (against my preconceived ideas) really enjoyed it.

 

It was silly, it was different, there was some good in-ring action and good in-ring story telling, the correct belts changed hands.  Was it the best Mania ever? Lord no.  But did they take a risk and it seems to have paid off?  Totally!

WWE is really becoming a boring circus. Did you guys see The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 36? Dressed up like The American Bad Ass? Seriously? 

 

I thought they had forgotten about that stupid gimmick years ago? That is not The Undertaker. That stupid Biker gimmick just doesn’t do it. There is no mystery to it. No eerie sense. He really needs to hang up the boots already if he is going to continue with that. Just my two cents.

On the WWE "News" section:

 

"WWE has come to terms on the release of Kurt Angle, Rusev (Miroslav Barnyashev), Drake Maverick (James Curtin), Zack Ryder (Matthew Cardona), Curt Hawkins (Brian Myers), Karl Anderson (Chad Allegra), Luke Gallows (Drew Hankinson), Heath Slater (Heath Miller), Eric Young (Jeremy Fritz), Rowan (Joseph Ruud), Sarah Logan (Sarah Rowe), No Way Jose (Levis Valenzuela), Mike Chioda, Mike Kanellis (Mike Bennett), Maria Kanellis, EC3 (Michael Hutter), Aiden English (Matthew Rehwoldt), Lio Rush (Lionel Green), Primo (Edwin Colon) and Epico (Orlando Colon Nieves). We wish them all the best in their future endeavors."

How did we all enjoy the biggest pop in wrestling history? :)

AEW are killing it at the moment, it helps they have a massive chequebook and an owner who likes the fun side of the product

Holy crap, the thread's still going! Well, a lot has certainly changed in the past 18 months or so, that's for sure.

 

Have to admit during the first few months of the pandemic I eventually gave up on Raw and SmackDown, and now I've stopped watching NXT on a regular basis as well, just the odd clip here and there - usually involving InDex or Cameron Grimes lately.

 

I'm pretty much full-time on AEW now, watching all their shows - including the Dark/Elevation ones on YouTube - and even some of the vlog series with Being the Elite and Sammy Guevara's vlog.

 

I was watching Impact every week up until very recently when they stopped putting it up for free on Impact Plus in the UK (you've gotta subscribe now), so I'm dipping in and out on them at the moment, but they've had a hell of a turnaround the past couple of years, it really feels like they'll never die.

 

Speaking of seemingly immortal promotions: the NWA! I was enjoying Powerrr until they put it behind a paid subscription on Fite, and now they just seem to be making questionable decisions - Nick Aldis' 1,000+ day reign as world champion - as well as questionable hirings, like 48 year old Tyrus. Good for Trevor Murdoch though, being the one to dethrone Aldis; he's definitely got the classic NWA look, let's just hope he doesn't end up dropping the title straight back to Aldis like with Cody Rhodes.

 

Anyway, have a brand new Botchamania that just went up a few hours ago...

I can't be full time AEW because I see so many similarities to WCW, I think there's to much going on there and their roster is to deep. Everytime someone leaves WWE its "off to AEW" and everyone gets lost, I mean look at Miro went to the greener side and now lost on the roster.

 

Also Cody annoys me

True, especially since Tony Khan bought ROH now as well. That roster depth ended up coming in handy though after all the injuries in the runup to Forbidden Door; it was like the show was cursed, but they pulled it off in the end (bar Adam Cole getting injured in the IWGP heavyweight title match).

 

Speaking of Cole, this went up earlier today:

Well, that one sorted itself out in the end! 😜

Forbidden Door was epic!

^^ this was amazing, a man his age shouldn't be doing this! ^^

 

Also Ospreay vs Orange Cassidy was 5

It's been a week and I still love that spot every time I see it. I only saw Sting in TNA growing up, so it's mad to see him doing crazy stuff like this at least once a month now in his 60s!

 

And yeah, Ospreay vs. OC was definitely match of the night. Bit of a shame they couldn't clear the rights for his new/old theme in time for Forbidden Door, but it went well at Blood and Guts...

I was the WCW mark back in the day, lived during the Monday Night Wars so Sting for me was the orange tight wearing white face paint wearing wrestler.

Is wrestling dead? I for one do not watch it anymore but it seems that the sport is ending, referring to the activity here.

Considering that AEW just put on a Wembley PPV that had the highest non-US gate ever, I'd suggest not.

I've been out of the WWE loop for some time, but had a free day and watched the Royal Rumble and then the following RAW.  So i'm not fully caught up.  I need to find some more free time to watch a few more things to see what's going on again.

The current Rock/Reigns/Cody story is worth a watch.

Yeah, I've heard talk of it being a bit more like the old attitude era so that's what brought me back in.   I also enjoyed the fact Bayley won the RR, as it was the only thing she hadn't gotten.   I saw a post saying she'll fight Io Sky at WW though?   I'm missing eps but I don't understand that matchup unless they're thinking about breaking up Damage Control? 

On 13/02/2024 at 20:59, Dick Montage said:

Let's be honest, the E cannot keep a tag team together for longer than 5 minutes these days!

True, I would've liked Bayley vs Ria though but I guess they have other plans.  

Rhea is an absolute workhorse and exactly what the women's division needs.  Bailey is a phenomenal in-ring storyteller and again a great worker.  I just don't see that match-up as one I care for.  Bailey works best as a heel, and I don't see that heel vs heel dynamic working here.  Sure, they are turning Bailey face, but face Bailey holds little interest for me!

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
