what do you guys thing of he new WWE champ Belt?

I'm not entirely sure about the massive WWE logo in the middle, but I still prefer it to the spinner belt. And I'm assuming the way of identifying the champion on that belt will be their logo on the sideplates, hence the Brahma Bulls on there. If Punk wins the title, it'll probably have this...

...and if Cena wins, I'd bet on bowls of Fruity Pebbles. ;)

Uh oh, the right-wing nutjobs in America have started to pick up on Jack Swagger & Zeb Colter...

World Wrestling Entertainment has jumped on the bandwagon of demonizing Tea Party Americans as racists by creating a xenophobic character who espouses anti-immigrant rhetoric, as WWE commentators quip that he receives ?fan mail? from Alex Jones, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.

Jack Swagger and his manager Zeb Colter appeared on Monday Night Raw last night and were booed by the audience as they talked about the constitution, the bill of rights and illegal immigration while standing in front of a ?don?t tread on me? flag.

The WWE is playing the race card for the purpose of a gimmick as Swagger prepares to fight Mexican wrestler Alberto Del Rio for the world heavyweight title at Wrestlemania.

During Swagger?s match, commentators Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler joked that Swagger and Colter had received ?fan mail? from conservative radio talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Alex Jones.

Twitter users reacted with outrage, slamming the WWE for ?crapping all over the Tea Party? by ?promoting a Racist, immigrant hating Tea Party character vs a Mexican wrestler.?

?What the **** are you doing with this Zeb Colter guy? A heel with a Tea Party stereotype angle? Do you still want my money?? asked Mark Scudder.

This is part of the divide and conquer tactic of cultural subversion to manufacture racial division and to characterize the Tea Party, conservatives, libertarians, opponents of uncontrolled illegal immigration and constitutionalists as racist, extremist radicals who should be pushed to the fringes of the political discourse.

Now the demonization runs so deep that it?s even being bolstered by WWE wrestling.

The fact that WWE is owned by Vince and Linda McMahon, who are part of the Republican establishment, also tells us a lot about how grass roots conservatives and libertarians are viewed by those near the top of the power structure.

Why are we getting so wound up about a wrestling gimmick? WWE programming reaches 14 million Americans every week ? and millions more worldwide. To put it in context ? that?s more than 10 times the amount of viewers who watch America?s top rated news show, The O?Reilly Factor.

This follows the relentless campaign on behalf of the federal government, via the MIAC report, via the Department of Homeland Security and others to portray Americans who oppose big government as domestic extremists and even terrorists.

That's from Alex Jones' site. For those who don't know (and no, fellow Brits, it's not that Alex Jones who presents The One Show), Alex Jones is a right-wing conspiracy theorist with his own radio show who gives Glenn Beck a run for his money in the crazy division, and was the one who

after the Sandy Hook massacre and shouted "1776 WILL COMMENCE AGAIN IF YOU TRY TO TAKE OUR FIREARMS!" (creating a remarkable moment when he actually managed to become a bigger tw*t than Piers Morgan and he did it on his own show).

Guess who starts the shake ????

According to the video's comments, Luke Hawx. Any idea who's Fred Flinstone there, and also who the girl in the back with the boxing gloves is?

Oh, and I saw Mae Young's son. :blink:

Notice no name tag on this belt...

Anything looks better than the spinner belt (which it did not spin; The Rock showed the original design which did).

Also

finally

it says "Champion"

BTW, you guys problably know this, but back in the WWF days, The Rock was going to use this:

WWF_Championship_-_Brahma_Bull_Belt.jpg

For some reason, it was never shown on television.

    • 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...
