There are conflicting reports about the Dean Ambrose vs. The Undertaker match that took place at Tuesday's WWE SmackDown tapings from London.

It was originally reported as the dark main event of the tapings. Several fans in attendance have noted that it was actually the main event of the TV show taped. A promo aired earlier in the night where The Shield announced Ambrose was coming for Taker tonight. It was also stated in a promo that The Undertaker would be in action on the broadcast.

Apparently the part where Triple H and The New Age Outlaws ran down to save Taker from The Shield was the dark part of the segment. The Taker vs. Ambrose match may be airing on Friday night's SmackDown episode.

Vince McMahon suddenly realises "Extreme Rules" is an oxymoron

vince-mcmahon.jpg

World Wrestling Entertainment Chairman Vince McMahon was mortified this morning when he realized that the name of the upcoming WWE pay-per-view, Extreme Rules, is a nonsensical oxymoron.

?Wait a second!? McMahon blurted while eating his breakfast at the McMahon mansion in Connecticut. ?The rules aren?t extreme! If anything, the rules don?t even exist! Oh man, this is embarrassing.?

In his epiphany, McMahon realized what most literate wrestling fans have known for years ? the term ?Extreme Rules,? when taken literally, means precisely the opposite of what it is intended to convey.

The annual event, inspired by the no-holds-barred mentality of Extreme Championship Wrestling, features matches in which the usual rules do not apply.

Far from being ?extreme,? the rules are significantly relaxed in order to allow the use of weapons and other typically illegal offense.

?We?ll I?ll be damned,? McMahon mused to himself. ?I never thought of it that way.?

McMahon has since announced that next year?s incarnation of the pay-per-view will be called ?Extremely Lax Rules.?

As noted, independent wrestler Sami Callihan was recently undergoing some medical tests for WWE. These are the tests done right before signing a deal so he may be officially with the company here soon. WWE picked up several wrestlers from the recent tryouts and one of those may be Mike Bennett from Ring of Honor.

At the April 21st show in Geneva, Antonio Cesaro worked as a babyface since they were in Switzerland. He was booked against William Regal so the two could work a classic European style match. Cesaro ended up getting the win.

    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more

      Formatting would be awesome if fully customised and then roll out the settings as a company wide standard.

      I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.

      When you have only lies and blood libels to present, you've lost. And how hard is it for you to look up BBC and AP? You hate Jews, just admit it.
    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
