Hector Garza who became one of the biggest lucha libre crossover stars of the late 90?s died today at the age of 43 just 17 days short of his 44th birthday due to complications from lung cancer which has been battling since last year. More on this in tomorrow?s lucha report but a very sad day in the world of wrestling.

According to SuperLuchas.net, WWE has officially signed top independent wrestler Samuray Del Sol, and he is expected to report to NXT in the very near future.

This news comes off the heels of reports that other top indy talents, including Mike Bennett, Shaun Ricker and Sami Callihan, are currently undergoing medical evaluations to eventually sign WWE deals.

Blimey, looks like WWE is starting to clear out the indies. Maybe they should revive the cruiserweight division (and title) to compete with TNA's X Division, then go to Mexico and scout out more luchadores (if they can't give Sin Cara a great match, then there's no hope for him :p ).

WWE will have all the top Indy talents soon, ROH will survive but I think others may start to suffer

Yeah, there's a few ROH wrestlers that I reckon WWE won't dare touch, like the Briscoe Brothers, Kevin Steen, Truth Martini, and maybe MsChif.

I would though love to see Briscoe's in WWE and Steen but their attitude and persona is not PG

Slammiversary XI is this weekend. Here's the card...

"The Icon" Sting vs. Bully Ray © for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship - No Holds Barred - If Sting loses, he will never compete for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship again.

Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez © vs. "Bad Influence" Christopher Daniels & Kazarian vs. Austin Aries & Bobby Roode vs. "The Cowboy" James Storm & Gunner for the TNA Tag Team Championship.

Devon © vs. Joseph Park for the TNA Television Championship.

Kenny King © vs. Chris Sabin vs. Suicide for the TNA X-Division Championship - Ultimate X match.

Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles

Taryn Terrell vs. Gail Kim - Last Knockout Standing match.

Jay Bradley vs. Sam Shaw - Final match of the "Gut Check", winner gets a spot in the 2013 Bound for Glory Series.

Has any of the big promotions ever done a Last Woman Standing match before? I see a couple of indy promotions (if Dory Funk's promotion is to be believed, the first ever one was only last year), but nothing from the major leagues, and not even over in Japan.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.

      Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
