  • WWE Summerslam 2016 Predictions [UPDATED]

    We are back here again, eh? Summerslam is upon us one again and it couldn’t be a better card!…Well, it could, but still!

    This is the first PROPER PPV after the brand split extension (Battleground didn’t count) and we will see a new WWE Universal Champion.

    Furthermore, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship will officially become the WWE World Champion (Maybe a new belt?) and will The New Day go a full year as the WWE Tag Team Champions or is it a "new day" for Gallows & Anderson!

    Anyway, let’s jump to the card. This is the card as shown on WWE.com at the time of writing!

    (C) – Current Champion – Results in bold are the winners of the match!

    Pre-Show (I didn’t see any of this, so the winners are pulled from wwe.com)

    Cesaro vs Sheamus – PREDICTION: Cesaro…on the Pre-show? Are WWE losing their minds? He should be up there with Seth and Finn. Cesaro to win.

    Sami Zayn & Neville vs The Dudley Boyz – PREDICTION: Sami & Neville…We haven’t seen Neville in on a PPV in a VERY long time and it should make sense for him to get a push!

    The Usos & American Alpha & The Hype Bros vs Breezango, The Ascension & The Vaudevillians – PREDICTION: Why was this matched booked? American Alpha, Vaudevillians and probably The Hype Bros should be getting push. Good vs Jobbers tbh. AA and Hype Bros to win.

    Main Show

    Non Title Matches

    Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton – PREDICTION: Randy Orton. Randy hasn’t been in a proper match in nearly 10 months and it would make sense for him to get a push and and start fueding with Dean Ambrose if he retains the title. Brock is just there for show and probably won’t win.

    John Cena vs AJ Styles – PREDICTION: #LetsBeatUpJohnCena – Ah, I kid. John hasn’t done much and he has said that he is only going to wrestle part time (like Brock) and will probably get AJ over. AJ to win.

    Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs "Jeric-KO" (Chris Jericho & Kevin Owens) – PREDICTION: This is a comedy match. The 4 of them on the mics the past 3 weeks have been great and I cannpt wait to see a good match. This should be good, but I like Enzo & Cass, so they get a vote from me.

    Carmella, Becky Lynch & Naomi vs Natalya & Alexa Bliss & Nikki Bella – PREDICTION: Well, It’s now a 3v2 after Eva Marie got suspended under the Wellness policy. Great start the main roster Eva! Carmella, Becky and Naomi to win just because of Becky πŸ˜› (I didn’t see Nikki coming back)

    Title Matches

    The Miz (C) vs Apollo Crews for the WWE Intercontinental Championship – PREDICTION: The Miz. As much as I hate him and his character, Apollo is just not ready for a belt! Still young in the scene and afaik, he hasn’t won a title in NXT goes to checkYup…Hasn’t won a belt under WWE.

    The New Day (C) vs Gallows & Anderson for the WWE Tag Team Championship – PREDICTION: This should be a good match and by the looks of it, it nearly may be the end of The New Day considering how they have been acting the past while (Read: The Wyatt family fued) – I would like to see Gallows & Anderson win it. DQ due to Big E returning

    Sasha Banks (C) vs Charlotte for the WWE Women’s Championship – PREDICTION: Sasha to retain. Charlotte goes with a bi-polor storyline for a while and takes it out on Dana, Ric and whoever else…Maybe (It’s a predicton post after all)

    Rusev (C) vs Roman Reigns for the WWE United States Championship – PREDICTION: The belt over the past year or so has had no meaning and Reigns getting the belt would keep the belt for the "US Champions" which the point of the belt in the first place. Roman to get the belt! Match didn’t happen…Just a brawl

    Dean Ambrose (C) vs Dolph Ziggler for the WWE World Championship – PREDICTION: Does DZ finally get his sweet glory? For a guy who has worked his ass off in the company for the past few years, it would only make sense for him to be awarded for that in the form of the WWE WC belt. Dolph to win!

    Finn BΓ‘lor vs Seth Rollins for the WWE Universal Championship – PREDICTION: New big belt! A big ol’ belt for Finn! Yes, for Finn and for Finn only! Seth, go away please! Go be a jobber with Roman and fued with him for the US title. Have I mentioned that Finn should win this one. This is also the MATCH TO WATCH (duh) – Finn Balor won, but relinquished it on RAW the next day due to injury. He is out for 6 months

    Big card for this years SummerSlam (13 matches in total) – Prediction results might be a bit late since I am going on holiday on Monday, so I might miss SummerSlam >.<

    Enjoy SummerSlam!

  • PF.ie + IFTTT = Posts on Twitter & PadraigFahy.com

    As you may have noticed, I have been creating some test posts (The first 2 are deleted while the 3rd can be found here: https://pf.ie/3rd-times-a-charm-test-2/ ) and I wanted to explain why!

    As an avid user of social media and blogs, it can be daunting to spend time posting the same link and copying meta-data from one location to another. So it is best to automate it!

    So, with IFTTT, it allows me to automate everything. I created 2 "recipes". 1 to post to PadraigFahy.com and the other to post to Twitter!

    IFTTT Recipes

    Well, that image is pretty much self-explanatory of what is going on.
    IFTT makes it simple. No complicated menus while still being flexible to everyone!

    So, you should see posts from PF.ie appearing on PadraigFahy.com and posted on Twitter from now on!

  • 3rd time’s a charm [Test]

    Third and probably final test!

    (I will explain why there is tests later :P)

  • MusicBot on Discord

    In the past couple of months, I have moved my gaming community from our Website forums to something more popular, Discord.

    This was by far, the best decision that I have made as our community is more popular than ever. I had got a request from a member, asking for a MusicBot to be implemented.

    Why not, right?

    So, during one lunch time at work, I decided to get it up and running and it has already attracted a few people to exchange their favourite songs.

    One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
    ~ Bob Marley

    A few points about the features of the MusicBot.

    • Runs on the web server that we have, so not dependent on other server providers.
    • Allows users to input a single YouTube URL or a Playlist!
    • When there is nothing in the queue, it defaults to a autoplaylist.txt file which contains nearly 3000 YouTube videos.
    • Volume control
    • Permission system
    • Skip functionality (This is a big one)

    And the developer is actively working on the Bot, so hopefully it will get more popular in the future.

  • pf v0.3

    At last, I have finally bothered my ass to update this website once again.

    I have changed the theme from Uno Zen to Crush as it is a lot more simplier than what Uno Zen was offering.

    One nice little addition was the Unsplash images. Everytime you reload the main http://pf.ie page, a new Unsplash image from the ‘Technology’ category loaded.

    To do this, I simply done this with the index.hbs theme was:

    On Line 5 change:

    <header class="main-header {{#if @blog.cover}}" style="background-image: url({{@blog.cover}}){{else}}no-cover{{/if}}">

    to:

    <header class="main-header {{#if @blog.cover}}" style="background-image: url(https://source.unsplash.com/category/technology){{else}}no-cover{{/if}}">

    So that is something I suppose πŸ™‚

  • WWE Battleground Predictions

    Welcome back to my WWE PPV Prediction series where I list the card that is happening for the WWE Battleground PPV that is happening on Sunday night (24th July).
    And here we go.

    Winners will be maked in bold during the PPV

    Pre-Show

    The Usos vs Breezango – PREDICTION: Breezango will get killed by The Usos. It is only fitting. Make them look strong.

    Main Show

    John Cena, Enzo Amore & Colin Cassidy vs The Club – PREDICTION: Big Match John wins again!

    Rusev (c) vs Zack Ryder for the WWE United States Championship – PREDICTION: Zack Ryder. I would like to see him to get a push finally. It is time for him to have a proper title reign.

    Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens – PREDICTION: Sami Zayn. Just prefer him over Kevin Owens

    The New Day (c) vs The Wyatt Family – PREDICTION: Wyatt Family. The family got split up (Braun on RAW, Bray and Erick on Smackdown and Luke is leaving) so they need a good win.

    Sasha Banks and TBD vs Charlotte & Dana Brooke – PREDICTION: Before making this post, Sasha had announced on Twitter that her partner has been chosen. We do not know who this is, but it is either Paige, Nikki Bella or a last minute callup for Bayley (Bayley would make sense here) BAYLEY DID GET CALLED UP. WHOO HOO!

    The Miz (c) vs Darren Young for the WWE Intercontinenal Championship – PREDICTION: Miz Retains

    Becky Lynch vs Natalya – PREDICTION: Becky Lynch. Gotta go for me girl <3

    Dean Ambrose (c) vs Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins in a Triple Threat for the WWE Championship – PREDICTION: Dean Ambrose Retains!

    Other Guff

    The Highlight Reel with Randy Orton.
    PREDICTION: This is obviously to promote Randy vs Brock at Summerslam nexty month and I would predict that Brock Lesnar interuppts, run down to the ring and beat up Randy. Why would Randy be there otherwise?

    As always, I will be in the Taima chat tomorrow night from about 11pm and watching the PPV from 1am! http://taima.tv/r/sc – See you there.
