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.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
