One person who didn’t seem to like it however, was Raw’s lead announcer Michael Cole. As we were about to tune into the match, Michael referred to it as “obnoxious”, and he didn’t do so during the match on commentary, as it featured none, but chose to say it right as we were tuning in. What a perplexing decision. Remember back in 1999 when WCW announcer Tony Schiavone commented about Mankind winning he WWE Championship as “That’ll put a lot of butts in seats”, well that is essentially what this was, only it wasn’t making fun of the competition, it was aimed at WWE’s own product....

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Mike and Maria Kanellis have re-signed with WWE. The length of the contracts are for 5 years. This is after Mike Bennett agreed with a fan on Twitter that WWE does not care about 205 live. I think they parted ways with WWE because of the financial stability a WWE contract provides and to support their baby daughter Fredrica Moon. Mike and Maria Kanellis belong in NXT....

Wyatt would become a cult leader during his time in the Yellow and Black brand with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan as his followers with the trio being referred to as The Wyatt Family. Rowan and Harper would win the NXT Tag Team Championship once during their time in the brand. Wyatt, along with Harper and Rowan, debuted on the main roster on the July 8, 2013 episode of RAW....

The only real challenge for the A53 is that it’s up against stiff competition, and spending even an extra £20 or £30 will deliver a solid performance boost from rivals – but if you need to make every penny count, this does the job nicely. Design and build First up, the A53 is one of the modern wave of budget phones that really don’t look the part – by which I mean you could easily mistake this for a device worth a few times the RRP....

It’s not completely perfect but the downsides cannot outweigh the performance that this phone delivers for such a reasonable price. If you’d like to know what else you can get for a similar price, then take a look at our list of the best budget smartphones. Price and availability In the UK, the A9 2020 is currently retailing for £219.99 (approximately US$285 for just the handset) and you can buy it from Carphone Warehouse, Currys and Mobiles....

We knew that the launch would take place at MWC Barcelona – the world’s largest exhibition for mobile phones – at the end of February. This will mark the company’s second global smartphone launch, following the original Find X last year. It was then confirmed that this press conference would take place ahead of all the other MWC press conferences on Saturday 22 February, kicking off at 2pm CET (1pm GMT)....

Slated to hit the racks next March with a hefty press run of 850,000 copies, the new magazine will target women in their 30s, offering an Oprah-patented stew of features on family, relationships, spirituality, work, health, beauty and books. “There may be one celebrity profile,” says Good Housekeeping editor in chief Ellen Levine, who is overseeing the magazine’s development until a permanent editor is named. “But it’s certainly not going to be driven by celebrities....

The ape, named Paguh by the team that rescued him, was found with 24 air rifle pellets in his body. Conservationists working for the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) discovered the injured orangutan last week, during a patrol in Gampong Teungoh, a village in Aceh province, near the tip of the island. Paguh is thought to be around 25 years old. “This orangutan was found on the local resident plantation walking on the ground,” reads a statement from the Orangutan Information Centre (OIC) on November 22, 2019, published on Facebook....

The Klamath County Sheriff’s Office said that it would cite or even arrest people who defied orders to “go now” in areas immediately threatened by the fires, the Associated Press reported. The Bootleg fire, which is burning in southwestern Oregon near the California border, doubled in size over the weekend, threatening about 2,000 homes, according to state fire officials. At least seven homes and more than 40 other buildings have been burned, officials said....

KGW reported that Hayes presented the kids with the bus, nicknamed the Grandfather Express, a few days before Christmas. The family goes all out every holiday season, according to Hayes, but this year the patriarch wanted to help the kids with an issue they’d been dealing with since starting school. “I thought, gee whiz, maybe there’s some way that I can give them a memory that will last all their life,” he told the station....

The Line: Oregon -18.5, Total: 78 Line movement: At The Wynn, this line has been on a roller coaster. Oregon opened -18.5 on Sunday, fell to -17 later in day, before shooting to as high as -19.

Gamers only need to make it through the prologue to Ori and the Blind Forest to pick up on the fact that there is going to be some serious heartbreak in the game. In true Disney or Pixar fashion, Ori and the Blind Forest kicks off with a tearjerker sequence that quickly turns from adorable to heartbreaking. The narrative trick may seem a little cheap, but it definitely leaves players fully emotionally invested in Ori’s well-being....

Word got out three years ago that New Line Cinema planned to film “The Lord of the Rings,” J.R.R. Tolkien’s sword-and-sorcery trilogy involving furry-footed hobbits, immortal elves, doughty dwarves, foul orcs, the dark Land of Mordor and a Ring so evil and powerful that it gives us the willies just to type the word. (“One Ring to rule them all… and in the darkness bind them.”) Since then Tolkien obsessives have been in a spiritual state equivalent to revving an engine in neutral....

They just don’t. At least not very often. There have been two in the past 10 years — Casey Mears in 2007 and David Reutimann in 2009. Mears won on fuel mileage; Reutimann waited out a rain delay.

Experts worry that we could be heading into a big flu season, especially if enough Americans do not get their annual flu shot, which is now widely available. With over 700,000 deaths credited to COVID-19 in just 18 months, a rebound influenza epidemic is the last thing we need. All the talk about COVID-19 vaccines and boosters has caused an alarming shift in public focus—seasonal influenza has all but disappeared as a subject of discussion in the global sphere....

At 82, Player’s boundless enthusiasm and abundant energy are as much a source of awe as his outstanding playing career. The South African won nine majors, including three Open Championships, and competed at the sport’s oldest landmark event for 46 straight years. In short, he is a man well qualified to make a call on which of the majors carries the most gravitas. If any of this week’s field were listening to Player, who spoke on Wednesday for around 40 minutes on the 50th anniversary of his second Open victory at Carnoustie and received a standing ovation at the end, they could not fail to have been inspired....

That same hope, however, was dashed just recently when Lilith announced that– like its inspiration – Allison Road has been cancelled. Further details on Allison Road’s cancellation have yet to be shared by the developer, so it’s hard to say exactly what brought about its demise, but speculation points to the game being over-budget or the team at Lilith not reaching development milestone deadlines. Regardless of why Allison Road was cancelled, however, I think there were warning signs that the project was really doomed from the start....

All the stops have been pulled out in order to make it the highest stakes match possible. While they don’t necessarily need a bunch of stipulations in order to make it worthy of the main event slot, it hasn’t stopped Mr McMahon from adding another title to the match as well as a ‘Winner Takes All’ caveat. The match was sold brilliantly enough by Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey throughout the build up....
