Goldberg should of gone into MMA

At 43 now he is getting a little long in the tooth to be just starting out at that. He probably should have given that a shot right when WCW went out of business rather than pursue that last run in the WWE. He would have been 34 then and might have stood a chance at it. Unlike Brock or let's say a younger Kurt Angle I don't think Goldberg has a wrestling background at all much less one on the level of those two. It would have been an uphill battle for him and rumor has it he made an absolute killing off of Time Warner at the end of WCW so he probably saw no need.

yeah that's what I meant really when WCW folded but the MMA scene wasn't that big then? or was it...can't really remember liking it back then.

I guess that is about the time MMA and UFC in particular started to get big. WCW Couture, Liddel, Ortiz, Penn, ect were all there but the sport was not yet mainstream. WCW folded in 2001. Tough enough season 1 was in 2004-5 and provided more mainstream coverage. That is probably when the UFC started to make the really good money and thus became attractive to some additional fighters. It probably just was not attractive enough money to Goldberg back in 01.

Personally I watched a lot of the real early stuff (Shamrock(s), Gracie(s), Frye, ect) and then lost interest in MMA. What drew me back to it was WCW going out of business. Between there only being one wrestling brand and the drop off of quality in that brand I found myself with both the time and the interest to start following MMA again.

I been trying to watch MMA and UFC ...Wrestling is too fake - Wait, I met Vince McMahon and he referred to it as Theatrical Athleticism. I guess that is why a star dies every six months from drug od's or the like... I call it fake. I was a huge fan at one time. I still like HHH, but it just got boring with all the same matches and story lines.

No reason that you can't watch and enjoy both. They are totally different things. I don't watch a baseball game and then suddenly think that Bull Durham or The Natural is not enjoyably or fake. One is sport and the other is a scripted show put on by performers. For me the decline in wrestling is from the opposite effect. I believe they have stopped even trying to pretend wrestling is real sport. We all know that it isn't of course same as I know Keifer Sutherland isn't really a super agent. Wrestling could help me in maintaining my "suspension of disbelief" by trying to take themselves somewhat seriously or at least not smacking me in the face with it every five minutes. That is what I miss about the old Kayfabe era. They treated it as "real" and that helped all of us by forcing them to act more realistically and put out actually thought out stories that made sense (somewhat). In short I was able to suspend my disbelief for those 1 or 2 hours and let myself become immersed in the story same as any good TV or film.

I used to call Wrestling the Kids Soap Opera ..

Guys! Guys! Guess what?

I was driving to my gym today, and pass right beside our local airport (Cambria County Airport). Anyways, a plane was coming in for a landing, and I happened to glance up and see the WWE symbol on the tail of the plane! It was so neat. Sometimes they do house shows here at a place called the Cambria County War Memorial. I went to one once years ago, it was pretty cool. Had all the big name people, too...which surprises me. It literally was landing...and was maybe...I dunno, less than 100 yards above me. Not special to most, probably. But the fact that some of the guys I watch on television each week (and yes, the ones I criticize sometimes, hehe.

I swear, if HHH is running the Nexus thing, I'm gonna barf. Not that I hate HHH or anything, but I'd rather see someone else in charge of the whole thing. Many people thing Bryan Danelson will wind up being the one running things, I doubt it but you never know. Personally I'd LOVE it if Cena was behind the whole thing. I mean I know he's the WWE's poster boy, and Vince's main man and all that jazz, but a heel turn could do wonders for him right now imo. Plus, the whole argument that they will lose on merchandise is bologna. People buy the shirts and everything else regardless if someone is a heel or a face.

As for the anon. GM, it better not be someone lame. Again people are saying it's going to wind up being Danelson, eh I'd love to see that, but I just don't think so. Personally I'd like to see it be Vickie "I am the master at getting heat" Geurrero. Sure most of the time it's cheap heat with her "EXCUSE ME" stuff, but man she can practically cause riots with the stuff she does. But, more than likely it won't be her. Good Ole JR? I don't think so. Stone Cold? Yeah, right. The Rock...hmmm maybeeee.

And The Miz won the RAW MitB match, but did not cash it in last night. But he willllllllll.

Gee, I wonder if they are setting Kane up to be the one who veggied Undertaker (while he's vegging Michelle McCool at home) and thus Undertaker to win the title against Kane at SS? (ugh)

Looks that way. Which makes the past month pretty much pointless.

With his WWE World championship win last night, Kane would become the first person to the win the WWF (now WWE) title, the World championship and the now-defunct ECW belt while all three were under the auspices of WWE. Big Show is technically considered the first but his "World" title victory was in WCW as The Giant.

Chris Jericho wrote the following last night after Money in the Bank:

?Great ppv tonight! Congrats to Kane for his hard work and dedication to his company for 15 yrs. My company is a powerhouse that will never be beat. All other companies need to watch and learn??

The following matches were announced on RAW for the WWE Summerslam PPV:

* John Cena, Edge, John Morrison, R-Truth, The Great Khali, Chris Jericho and Bret Hart vs. Nexus (Wade Barrett, Darren Young, David Otunga, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Michael Tarver and Skip Sheffield)

* WWE TITLE MATCH: Sheamus ? vs. Randy Orton

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
