Good enough they ought to go to UFC but for a guy like me who has actually grown up seeing Iron Sheikh going at it with Hogan. In all my days of watching wrestling i have never seen anyone cut a better promo than Iron sheikh or have better in ring capability than him. There may have been some before him (of which i dont know) but since only Angle, Benoit and now DB come close. What i mean is that WWF/E has a sort of sentimental value for me coz i idolised some of these guys and i love the business (i stopped watching when they threw out Mr.Kennedy.... a real star player sacrificed at the altar of nepotism) now i started again with this year's royal rumble mainly coz of DB, jericho's return and to certain extent Punk's pipe bombs lol.

Oh boy, a "back in the day, there were no playstations; we played with a stick!" kinda guy.

Iron Sheik and Hogan were legends. Exactly that: Legends. They are the past. Im not saying the present or the future is/will be better but you need to forget those days. A lot of people here (including myself) when we see blood, we HOPE the WWE will go back to the Attitude era but we have to realize that is not going to happen. It was good while it lasted.

Mr. Kennedy is now (AFAIK) in TNA. You are more than welcome to watch TNA :) Noone is forcing you to watch WWE and there are no storylines between WWE and TNA at all.

Brock Lesnar's match with John Cena at Sunday's Extreme Rules pay-per-view got rave reviews from most fans who saw the show, but Lesnar went ballistic backstage after the match and was screaming at WWE officials and ripping apart the locker room.

According to PWinsider.com, the huge blow-up took place because of the promo John Cena cut after the match.

The original plan was for Cena to be so badly hurt by Lesnar that even though he won, he would be stretchered out, which would keep Lesnar looking strong.

Lesnar perceived Cena's speech as a double cross by WWE officials and totally lost it backstage.

The angle on RAW with Lesnar and Triple H and Lesnar's temporary departure from WWE television was the plan all along, but relations between Lesnar and WWE are not good at the moment.

:|

Well, Calum thought it was part of the storyline so now here is a debate :p A speech like that made no sense at all on air and the original plan was indeed more natural.

I wouldnt trust Lesnar as his guy seems like a shooter and a total *******.

If HHH's arm was broken/dislocated/fractured no one would be able to hold it. R-Truth did a horrible job of selling the injury but grabbing his arm repeatedly.

The injury is indeed fake but imagine if Lesnar applies it correctly (hurting someone).....

If his arm was really broken, Brock would be in a lot of trouble for assaulting the CEO]/s] COO. Remember, storyline!

Fixed :p

Well, in part you are right but remember that Brock just came from a sport where you are suppose to hurt someone.......FOR REAL. Going from REAL to FAKE sometimes the transition is difficult. Shamrock was able to do it but some arent...

I guess i didnt get my point across. I am not saying Bring back the attitude era... even though it will be better (its never coming back because of WWE now being a public company and Linda trying to get a republican seat in umm... cant remember where) what i am saying is that guys are not being given enough time to build up feuds and not being given enough time to actually make a real great entertaining match. Hogan and Skeik were working everything... submissions, suplexes, throws you name it they did it. What i am saying is that majority of matches are missing that 'variety' that keeps people hooked. Most matches these days are 'Slam Bam Thank you Mam' kind and that is because of minimal in ring skill. People might cut good promos (Cena cuts some good promos but he cant carry someone atleast not well enough... which you need to do in a good 'entertaining' match). That is all i meant.

I am not asking bring back the attitude era or anything like that i am just saying start emphasizing things that got WWE such a strong following from 80s onwards which was a combination of good mic skills and more than good ring skills.

I believe that DB and Punk will show that if a wrestler has good mic skills and very good in ring attributes he will get over with the crowd by himself (Even though they are pretty much over already)

Dont think he will survive much longer if he keeps on getting goldberg chants lol WWE doesnt like to be reminded of its failures

I wonder if anyone will start doing Sean O'Haire chants when Damien Sandow makes his debut then. :p

That's not serious, BTW. Although I would say Damien Sandow's gimmick is sort of a cross between O'Haire, Matt Striker, and Christopher Nowinski.

EDIT: Hallelujah, the thread has been fixed for me! :woot: My posts show up straight away again, and I'm finally getting email notifications again! :D

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
