Its PG because of the advertisers and Cena adapted to that, not the other way around.

Obviously they're paying more, as if you look at WWE's corporate site, it says under this page that 78% of their audience is 21 and over.

I don't disagree that its wrong. I just disagree with his post.

 

Cena wasn't PG before. Why blame him for it? He was just the smartest at adapting and making money at it.

Oh no, I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was just pointing out that fact about their demographics; makes you think how much more money they'd make if they actually tried to appeal to their biggest demographic. When over three-quarters of your audience is at least 21 years old, you'd think they'd target the shows towards them.

For those who haven't seen the results of the most recent episode of WWE Main Event, Ryback came down and circled the ring after almost every match/segment of the show. During one, he yelled "Keep typing, morons". On another, he yelled "Ryback rules" in random audience members' faces.

Looks like his Twitter personality is finally coming through on TV. :D

Hulk Hogan reached a verbal agreement with WWE this past week, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

 
The latest is that Hogan will not be wrestling at WrestleMania XXX and most likely would not pass a WWE physical. That said, he will have some sort of role at the WWE Hall of Fame and WrestleMania XXX. WWE has been talking about inducting the WrestleMania 1 main event (Hogan & Mr. T vs. Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorf) into the Hall of Fame, with all 4 men being on hand for the ceremony.
 
As reported earlier this week, ?Rowdy? Roddy Piper has been pushing for a match at WrestleMania that would pit himself & CM Punk vs. Hulk Hogan & John Cena. Piper put Punk over during Old School RAW and tried convincing Punk to get on board for the idea, but it won't be happening, for a variety of reasons.
 
At one point there was talk of Hulk Hogan appearing at the ?groundbreaking? WWE Network announcement, but the company did not want Hogan?s return to distract from the Network announcement. The decision was made to hold off on his return, which will help pop a big TV rating as WWE is negotiating their TV rights fees.

So yep, The American Wolves have signed with TNA; they were in a backstage segment with Dixie Carter being referred to as simply The Wolves. Storyline-wise, they were supposed to have a tryout match next week for a chance at a contract, but they've already had and signed a contract from a "new investor" in TNA.

 

And speaking of next week, it's gonna be Magnus defending the world title against Sting; if Sting loses, he's gone from TNA (and in turn, the IWC will explode at the thought that the rumours of him being WWE-bound might actually be true this year).

Hello,

And speaking of next week, it's gonna be Magnus defending the world title against Sting; if Sting loses, he's gone from TNA (and in turn, the IWC will explode at the thought that the rumours of him being WWE-bound might actually be true this year).

Its the same thing every year.

Sting is 54; The WWE knows that Sting has one year (more like one match) at most left of his career. What are they going to use Sting for after WM? Undertaker has 48 and look how much he wrestles!

All they can use Sting for is a chance at people he has never wrestled: Rock (41), Austin (49), HHH (44), Shawn (48)....all those until he is 60?? :laugh:

Sting's train has passed. And its only his fault.

Hogan should've stopped actively wrestling a long time ago. His body is decaying in plain sight.

 

 

He did.

His last match was almost two years ago, so I wouldn't consider that a long time ago.

I gotta say that's disappointing, Triple H has missed a trick there

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
