Word going around at RAW was that Paul Bearer will indeed be the first name announced for the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame. It's said Bearer is a lock for next year.

There will be talk at WWE headquarters this week about whether or not The Undertaker should do the induction.

Taker never appears at the Hall of Fame to keep in character but there's a feeling that he should do the honors for Bearer for obvious reasons. Another name brought up for Bearer's induction is Michael "PS" Hayes.

To me, I think Undertaker would be the perfect choice. Surely it'd be ok to break kayfabe for that one moment. If they think otherwise, or Undertaker declines, I would have gone with Bruce Prichard (Brother Love) if he wasn't with TNA (for those who don't know, he's Senior Vice President of Programming and Talent Relations, so you could say he's TNA's John Laurinaitis, only without that annoying voice).

In what can't be a good sign for Ryback getting over in the feud with John Cena, word from RAW is that he got zero reaction when he came out after the main event on Monday's RAW to show that he was still in the building

CM Punk's official WWE television return has been up in the air recently, with WWE continuing to remove him from live events through June. However, the former WWE Champion is now being listed to appear on Monday Night Raw from the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta on May 27th.

This would give Punk enough time to build towards a program for the June WWE Payback pay-per-view in his home town of Chicago, but as of now he is still not being advertised for the event, or Monday Night Raw the week prior.

There is a lot of buzz lately in WWE that Bray Wyatt will be called up to the main roster very soon.

If he gets to keep his current gimmick and also bring the Wyatt family with him, then...

WWE recently applied for two new trademarks, which appear to be related: ?Crush Couture? and ?CC?. Both trademarks are for various types of merchandise. It?s unknown at this point whether Crush Couture will be a product line or a new WWE character.

Thoughts, everyone?

Huh, I never realised Alex Shelley was over in Japan. I bet a lot of people are still hoping for a Motor City Machine Guns reunion...

Speaking of upcoming shows, ROH Border Wars is this Saturday (as well as their first international ROH TV taping the next day). They've managed to bring back Paul London (who hasn't wrestled in ROH for ten years), so there's bound to be a couple of top-notch matches this weekend. They posted up one of his ROH matches to build up the hype...

At Border Wars, he's facing Davey Richards, and then on the TV taping, he's facing Michael Elgin. Here's the card...

ROH World Championship match

Jay Briscoe defends against Adam Cole

Pro Wrestling NOAH vs. Ring of Honor

Current GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori vs "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards

First Time Ever

"Intrepid Traveler" Paul London vs "American Wolf" Davey Richards

It was originally going to be Naomichi Marufuji (from Pro Wrestling NOAH) taking on Richards (as well as Elgin the next day), but he picked up a knee injury two weeks ago, so London was brought in as an almost last-minute replacement.

ROH World TV Championship

Matt Taven w/ Truth Martini defends against Mark Briscoe

I Quit Match

BJ Whitmer vs Rhett Titus

ROH vs S.C.U.M

"Unbreakable" Michael Elgin & Jay Lethal vs 2 S.C.U.M Members of Steve Corino's choosing

If S.C.U.M wins, Matt Hardy gets a shot at the ROH World title, and Steve Corino joins Kevin Kelly on commentary. Corino also added that if they get the title shot and lose that match, S.C.U.M will leave ROH.

Special Tag Team Challenge

Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander vs ACH & Tadarius Thomas

Dixie Carter has just announced that TNA IMPACT WRESTLING will be broadcast LIVE from Glasgow on Thursday January 30.

This will be TNA's first ever live show on Challenge TV in the UK and the first ever TV taping in the great country of Scotland by any international wrestling company.

Get your tickets now from the Ticket Shop pre-sale at http://facebook.com/tnawrestlinguk or on general sale from 9am tomorrow.

So that's almost nine months away. Depending on the cost, I might try and make it to that show. :p

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

    • Phone Dilemma

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
