They wouldn't do a HHH retiring with the belt story, that's to much even for them (maybe.....?!). Shane isn't going to win, and even if he does win, and HHH does win I doubt they would strip him of the belt. They would have to have a reason other than "I hate you, prick" lol Still, either of those options you came up with are still better than whatever dreck WWE will give us this weekend.

But didn't they say Monday on RAW that if Shane wins, HHH and Steph wouldn't need to be fired, they would just quit?  That could also be the way to free up the belt.

Yeah, I saw Meltzer say that. Assuming it's true, they really are just delusional. They were in Brooklyn, FFS! Brooklyn hosted an NXT TakeOver event last year that had one of the best matches of the year in Bayley vs. Sasha Banks (oh yeah, they were also chanting "We want Sasha!" throughout Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch on Raw last night); they have standards! What Meltzer also said was that they reckoned behind-the-scenes that all the booing Eva Marie got in NXT would stay in NXT...

Even (The) Brian Kendrick can't work miracles.

My wife, who does not like wrestling, noticed that NOBODY liked Eva Marie during that part.  So, if someone that never watches wrestling, and doesn't like the product can see that, well...

15000 people booing can clue people in real quick. Except if you're Vince McMahon.

Say goodbye to WWE’s “Divas” division and the purple butterfly belt.

 

WWE finally caved and the decision has been made to rebrand Divas division as the Women’s division. The official announcement will be made on Monday’s WWE RAW from Dallas, the night after WrestleMania. The news was first reported by PWInsider and we’ve since verified it independently.

 

A new WWE Women’s Championship belt has already been commissioned. From what we’ve been told, the new Women’s Championship bares a strong similarity to the WWE World Heavyweight championship belt – but it’s mounted on a white leather strap and is smaller.

 

Charlotte will defend her Divas Championship against Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch this Sunday. We’ll find out on Sunday night which of the three competitors will have the honor of retiring the Divas Championship and ushering in the new era of Women’s wrestling in WWE.

Halle-########-lujah!

If anyone fancies making a little game out of WrestleMania, someone on Reddit created a scorecard. There's plenty of extras to keep it interesting, like "How many moves does Eva Marie botch?", "Does Ryback injure Kalisto?", and "Will Francesca II survive [The New Day vs. The League of Nations]?"

 

There's an NXT TakeOver Dallas version, too.

and HOPEFULLY the women will be able to actually WRESTLE after this, instead of the garbage they have been having to do.  Like, wrestle like they did in NXT.

Anaya, please don't post stuff from Divas photoshoots and the like; we got told by the mods last year to stop doing it (can't remember the reason why, but I think it was causing some systems to mark the site as NSFW and end up blocking it).

Why?

SFW images.

I already said why (as best as I could remember); we just got told by one of the global mods to please refrain from posting them (can't remember who now; it was a long time ago).

NXT's gonna be touring the UK again this year, starting out at the Download Festival (taking a page out of PROGRESS' book), then touring through Belfast, Dublin, Liverpool, Bournemouth, and Plymouth.

 

:| Seriously, NXT is coming down here; it isn't an April Fools joke (I first saw it on the local paper's site, so I double-checked it, and nope, it's not a joke).

Lets see Wrestlemania 32 try to top that Takeover show tonight. If you didn't see it clear out 2 hours and go watch it. :woot:

I've got it ready and waiting; I'm just finishing off this week's ICW Friday Night Fight Club (which is still free at the moment, if anyone's interested; it'll probably go behind the subscription tonight).

^^^ I don't agree with that if they go with that (without spoiling who it is) for NXT. Main roster for sure. Samoa Joe should be main roster by now and in the world title picture for christ sake.

 

Also, I think I'm going to sub to the WWE network, because all this great NXT stuff I'm missing, plus WM is kinda tomorrow and even though it'll probably disappoint, it is worth subbing for the month just for that no? :)

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

      You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.
