^ :laugh: I remember doing the first part a lot and when my brother pedigreed one of our friends onto the concrete floor.

I'm sorry, but WWE should have taken a better look at Sin Cara or had him prepare more for the move to the US/NA style of wrestling/ring/whatever. It isn't Sin Cara's fault per se, nor do I think he's some sort of botch machine. I mean, check out some of his matches on Youtube, the guy is AMAZING. And I don't think I ever saw him miss a move or screw anything up in any of those.

It probably doesn't help that he doesn't (didn't?) speak a word of English when he came to the WWE. Not being able to convey by words in a sprt/arena that is very fluid and dynamic must make things incredibly hard for everyone involved. I for one would love for him to stay in WWE, but they have to give him a mouth piece. Also, screw it, pair him with Rey Rey.

I kind of agree. I felt like he was always stuck between the two styles. As if WWE wanted to have someone to do fast paced moves and some high flying but not too much. I can't remember if read this somewhere or i'm just imagining things but didn't they ban a lot of the high flying stuff a few years back? I don't know how he could have been a success. They probably needed someone who has worked in America before and is used to the different styles.

Still, it doesn't excuse some of his botches seeing as a few of them were fairly simple.

Yes, WWE banned quite a few of the high flying moves we've all come to know and love. As far as I know though, the workers can still USE them, but they may (read: MAY lol) get punished either by being de-pushed or just straight up fined. As for Sin Cara, he was caught in the cross fire of this situation. As you said, they wanted someone who could be fast and pull of insane moves, but then they wanted someone who could also work a slower more physical style American wrestling match. With him not speaking English (at all apparently) and his obvious inexperience with "our" wrestling style compared to the style used in Mexico he was never going to suceed in the WWE. That's just the plain and simple truth.

Also, the damn mood lighting he has when he comes to the ring (and during his matches lol) was moronic and really took away from his ability in the ring. Some have speculated it hid some of his "botches" but I don't buy that. I think someone in the back was like, omg mood lighting here we go!

As I discussed during the TNA Destination X Post-Game show, Sara del Rey, One of the top female stars in the world has been offered a WWE deal and is currently undergoing her pre-signing medical testing.

Del Rey was one of the showcase talents for SHIMMER's Women Wrestling and had strong showings and run in both CHIKARA and Ring of Honor.

From a wrestling standpoint, the company couldn't have looked to sign a stronger female talent.

^ Holy sh... :o

I hope they sign up a few more indie women later. There's a lot of good ones out there: MsChif, Cheerleader Melissa (competed in TNA as Awesome Kong's/Kharma's manager Raisha Saeed, and Alissa Flash), Daffney, just to name a few.

WWE is reportedly keen to work with UFC middleweight Chael Sonnen. Sonnen, who lost to Anderson Silva at UFC 148, is being targeted by WWE to be involved with the promotion in some way. It's unknown whether this means wrestling, an extended appearance or just a one-off.

Sonnen is friends with CM Punk, who nearly escorted Sonnen to the ring for a previous bout before WWE said no to it. Sonnen also has been working with Steve Austin on strength and conditioning training.

this would be awesome! :D

I read that earlier; I can't stand that douchebag, so I'd prefer if he stayed away from wrestling. I'm glad Anderson Silva TKO'd him on Saturday night! :D

he makes UFC more interesting with his trash talk :p

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
