So I just used a secondary email to get a free month trial for the network (something I usually never do, since I basically cheated the system) again, and man they've certainly added some content to the network since the last time I used it (like 2 years ago around when it launched I think). The Table for 3 series is great. So are the collections they have, and all the NXT stuff obviously. And yes, I'll be watching some of the CBC shows because man that little 2 minute segment of that match looked crazy good.

There's another ~15 minutes of that to look forward to. :p

What exactly are you going to miss? Him saying 'feed me more'? 

I know right, if only he did moonsaults, or spent ten years on the indies, then my comment would be much more socially acceptable. Heaven forbid I recognise his charisma or remain impressed by his strength and have a subjective thought on the matter.

 

ANyway, elsewhere, Imagine the reaction of fans online if Cedric didn't get signed after that thumbs up from HHH. Such a great performance.

Wait, they are putting Balor into the world title picture just like that? From NXT less than 6 weeks ago basically to world title shot? Not bad.

Yeah, they threw him into it on his Raw debut.

Finally got around to watching RAW from lasts night (as I had to work), and Holy Shite I got goose-bumps from "The Demon King" entrance!  That for me was the highlight of Raw

to bad they didn't post the FULL entrance!  One writer suggested if done correctly, Balor and his Demon King could be "this generations Undertaker".  What do you think?  Hopefully, he will be done correctly (by RAW creative) and not crapped on like other NXT people.

Uh, I didn't say anything about flips. Not really a big 'flips' guy myself. But Ryback is not talented in the ring. He's big and he's strong. You know, Vince's typical guy. What has he ever done that was great? Or even very good? Does he love the business? Yes, he certainly does. But that doesn't mean he is talented. If his spot went to any of the recent male NXT call ups, then its a major upgrade.

Only problem with that is that Balor/Devitt is already 35 years old. Undertaker was 25 when he debuted in WWE. Hard to become as big as UT when he probably has 5 years max.

Whenever he paints himself up it reminds me more of The Great Muta then anything else just due to him usually picking popular characters to base his paint schemes on while he was in NJPW.  The only thing Undertaker like would be him doing these big entrances just for big PPVs but I do not see him getting made up like that every Monday night just as his NXT run went where it was not that often.

I *have* been watching NXT- and that "Demon" entrance gets me every time.  It is not over-used, so it is "special" each time it is brought out.

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
