I don't, I still like the RAW, ECW and SmackDown difference.

The 1 million thing is cool but it shows that WWE went the wrong way. They need to give something back to us, the viewers, in order to get their "authority" back. That's the main thing which interests me. Is WWE going to take care of their line-ups again like they used to or will their only be a give-away to return to the old, boring storylines accepted by no one?

I was hoping for all the brands to be merged. I just want that to happen so bad!

The reason for the brand split (RAW & Smackdown) was to give the wrestlers less time during the year. Less wrestling translates to less injuries, and less burn out. ECW came later, but is still a brand unto itself, but the wrestlers are shared with Smackdown since they are taped the same night.

I don't know if anyone here has seen this yet, but WWE.com has got up a list of the Top 25 Most Annoying Gimmicks. There's quite a few weird ones on there that I've never even heard of, and I though I saw them all with the Blue Blazer, and the Gobbledy Gooker! :D

What ever happened to the WWE telling The Undertaker that he will be given a long title reign for the first time in his career, before he retires? :huh:

It's seriously getting to the stage where it isn't as fun to watch anymore. I really think that radical "Attitude Era-esk" changes are necessary in order to gain fan interest and respect. The problem is, the WWE are not in any sort of threat of going out of business like when WCW was on a high. I can't see TNA ever reaching these highs even with big name signings like Kurt Angle, Booker T, Sting etc. The problem with TNA is that it seems if you were in the WWE for a long time, you are automatically a main eventer. Christian was good, but not that good, and Tyson Tomko? Come on!

There are rumours going around that WWE want to create a new heel stable with Ted DiBiase, Jr., Afa, Jr., DH Smith, Cody Rhodes (who would turn heel), and maybe Carlito as the mouthpiece if they don't get a manager, but I think they need bigger names in a stable. The DX reunion was never going to work with HHH and HBK just doing babyface comedy work. At it's best DX was a heel stable with more than 2 members. Evolution has run it's course and a nWo reunion just will not work again! However, a new invasion angle if done properly could definately generate interest! Don't use the nWo name, totally different group, but it could work.

Do they really think fans want to see a trilogy of the same match?

I was at the Smackdown taping last night, and the fan did get to the wrestlers. He was in the section next to me in the lower tier getting pretty drunk. He hopped down and ran by the ramp right to the ring. I'm pretty sure he hit either Hawkins or Ryder in the back or the back of the head. Bam Neeley then hit the guy pretty hard before security got there.

Additional sources confirms the above sequence of events, so the previous report that the fan didn't get to the wrestlers, was incorrect.

Good on him its about time someone attacks la familia :D

Indeed though I rather see Undertaker take care of it. I purchased Smackdown vs Raw 2008 today just to get back to those old days. Now I make up my own story. :laugh:

I was just looking to see when I'd be able to catch WWE and it seems as if they come to Belgium in November this year. The superstars scheduled to appear include The Undertaker so I guess he'll win his match Sunday. ;)

I hate the controls on xbox360. Have you found how you block a move? ( Yes, I played on Xbox before but I'm happier with the PS3 version. )

Smackdown yesterday was okay. Especially the Cutting Edge was great with yet again a revenge from the Undertaker. I hope after sunday their rivalry will end - it's getting too long - but before that he should hurt Vickie badly.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
