Ha, I'd love a wrestling sub-forum, but I'm sure they'll never happen. To many people would say "wrestling is fake blah blah blah, it doesn't deserve a forum blah blah blah"

Serpentuk or Kriz, do either of you have a tv tuner card that you could snap a sig pic for me? I'd love to get a pic of Awesome holding Tanaka on the apron about to put him through the table heheh.

nope soz mate I dont.....always best to have a look around on the wrestling websites on google...my image comes from the wwe site...but I was told there was captures on some of the fan sites if that helps...maybe kriz would of done it :)

Wrestling is fake, then again so is TV Shows and Movies etc... all designed for entertainment

Yeah, but when people totally dis the wrestlers athletic abilities because wrestling is "fake" that ticks me off to no end. I'd like to see ANY major sports star train and give up as much as wrestlers do every day of every year. That's what makes me upset, for someone to say Triple H (love him or hate him) is fake, and sucks and isn't a real athlete, GRRR. The man tore his muscle from the bone! Any other sports star woulda ended their career right there, or taken 2+ years to get back into the fold. HHH was back in what, 6 months if I remember correctly?

Ah ok then, I'll just do some searching for one, if one exists :)

Maybe I should've used a different word, such as scripted, because the athleticism and strength, etc etc is all very much real. I was just bringing up a point to those who would say wrestling is fake is that so is TV and Movies, they're just as scripted as wrestling is even those so called "Reality Shows".

I just finished watching the full thing. Man, I haven't watched wrestling in about two years, but this was nice. To be honest though, the biggest chill was had when that glass shattered and Stone Cold came out. That guy will always represent, to me, the best era in wrestling.

Yeh when austin came out I thought it was brilliant....didnt know how the crowd would react because they booed rey rey when he used 619....but it was a great moment when he celebrated beers with sandman :D

Another PPV would be awesome, but a full time return would be even better

I don't know about that. I mean they could probably pull off one or two more ECW PPV successfully. But after that I don't think it would work. Just look at Hogan, when he comes backs everyone goes craz, but as time progresses people really don't care. I think the same thing would happen with ECW if they tried to bring it back full time.

I dunno, Hogan has a lot of fans yes and when he returns after months away he gets the great ovations which seem to be less and less each time, but ECW's fans are rabid, if ECW was brought back and done properly, the hardcore rabid ECW fans would not lose interest.

I guess you didn't see the 2005 Hall of Fame ceremony, or Wrestlemania 21 this year. I haven't seen standing ovations like that in quite awhile. The Hall of Fame deal was amazing, literally 8 or 9 minutes of non-stop applause, and the crowd wouldn't let the man start talking.

It isn't that the people grow tired of Hogan when he comes back after months and months, its the stupid storylines they come up for him that drive them away again.

when exactly did he break his muscle from his bone

Its got to be almost 3 years ago now. His quad ripped and came off the bone. You could actually see it move under his skin in the replay. What impressed me most about that, was that he actually finished the match.

i've watched the first half of this ppv.

never watched ecw before, but it's wild!

makes wwe look pretty pathetic, because in wwe they get hit with a chair and they're pinned for 3, but in ecw they're going through 3 or 4 tables, being hit with chairs, leg-dropped with chairs, DDT through chairs, and yet they still kick out.

yeah it's unbelievable he still finished the match. i remember seeing it.

It's not the lack of toughness I hate about the modern WWE, it's the overly done storylines. With Stephanie writing now, it's gotten really soft and, dare I say, retarded. Storylines were always key and, to some extent, make it longer lasting than chairs and tables. Take the Austin/McMahon feud that went on forever. No matter what, it remained interesting.

Yeah, I saw it too. That was nasty as hell.

The storylines in WWE are a JOKE now. Stephanie doesn't know what she's doing writing these things, and the fact that Vince has allowed her to continue writing these "stories" shows me that he's either:

A. Blind and doesn't see how crap she is at it

B. Doesn't care anymore and just wants family involved, not 3rd party people he may not trust

C. Thinks over time she will get better at this and this is just a "trial run" type deal

I mean seriously, who the hell would book HHH having sex with a doll in a coffin? Who would book Lita getting pregnant and then having a miscarrage because of Gene Snitsky (and now Lita practically kissed Snitsky and said it was OK) Ugh don't get me started on the retarded storylines in WWE now. That is why people rag on wrestling, the moronic stories. If they just concentrated on what was good, ie. the wrestling then all would be good.

You didn't see Hogan in 1988 or 1990 doing stupid dumb storylines (save for the whole Sgt. Slaughter betraying the US and becoming an Iraqi rofl)

Yeh as of late it has been pretty poor. But i have noticed that its getting better, the last few Raw's with the draft lottery and all have been very entertaining. Lets just hope it keep getting better. Obviously something huge is going to have to happen to get to the standard of the Attitude Era.

    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.
