Yeah, they seriously screwed up that storyline. They should have booked Lawler to win at WrestleMania (well, that did sort of happen, but then the GM reversed it) and then bumped Cole off RAW and SmackDown. Stick him on NXT and move Matt Striker and William Regal onto the shows!

Oh, they got bored of it ages ago. Vince just isn't listening to them. Like in their recent meeting on one of the sites you linked earlier. He doesn't care about the fact that Extreme Rules will have no blood in it.

He did say in the meeting too that he might put up an offer to buy TNA...

Vince buying TNA would be funny...all those guys who hate Vince will have to move on again! :p

Well, if he buys them, I reckon he should keep them going, like UFC are doing with StrikeForce, and just use them to work up the up-and-coming wrestlers, and then when they're ready, bring them into WWE.

Once all the StrikeForce contracts and commitments are over, it will be gone.

Technically, it does. Extreme Rules was the last ECW-related PPV, and Extreme Rules matches were one of ECW's staples.

The PPV was first called ECW: Extreme Rules, yes - and that was to capitalize on the ECW DVD sales. That was 2006. RVD beat Cena for the WWE title.

However, after that it was just Extreme Rules.

As far as 'ECW staples', ECW matches were nothing but 'extreme rules' - no DQ, no countout.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By Kravex · Posted

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
