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.

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.

      New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
