Apparently "Fandangoing" is a term now. And this next instance may be Rappy's favourite... :shifty:

HOLY CRAP THE NEW HARLEM SHAKE MEME JUST BORN!

According to PWInsider.com, the title change was not a last-minute decision and had been planned for weeks. The reason that Ziggler lost so many matches leading up to WrestleMania is because WWE wanted to set him up as a "vulnerable" champion, with many challengers already lined up because they just beat him.

As for the previous #1 contender, Jack Swagger, there were in fact plans for him to have a World Heavyweight title run. However, his DUI arrest put an end to that scenario.

Anyone watch this weeks TNA Impact? Really good episode. Cracking table ladders and chairs match between Hardy and Bully Ray.

Hernandez is also rocking it. He is definitely hamstrung by being teamed with Chavo 'only here because of my last name' Gurrero. He should be gunning for the heavyweight title.

Enjoying TNA so much more than WWE right now!

Oh yeah, I watched it. Was a little ticked at the Tag Title 2 Out of 3 Falls match, partially because

"Dos Stereotypicos" (thank you, Bad Influence) won

, but mostly because

the first two falls happened within like the first two minutes of the match.

:p But yeah, there was some good spots in the Full Metal Mayhem (TLC) match. I'm glad

they had Bully retain the title. Too early for him to lose it, and if he loses it back to Hardy, that'd just p*ss me off. I'd rather see someone like Matt Morgan get a shot at the title.

I hope los-stereotypicos disband and Hernandez really gets a push. That guy is AMAZING, and has been under utilised for some time now.

Yeah i'm definitely glad they made Bully retain, way too early for him to lose it. It makes A&E relevant.

One thing I really, really hope they stop happening, is having A&E pile in and turn any match into a brawl. It was SO refreshing to see a clean match, I was getting so so tired of them up until recently and in the past week or so they seem to have really cleaned it up. I hope they keep it up, because although they are a poor-mans NWO, they can be good entertainment if they just stop piling them in for a brawl. I just want to see some clean matches!

They also need to clear up this AJ Styles thing already, they've been dragging it out.

All in all though, they have really upped their game. Seems to have coincided with them going on tour, but it is so much more entertaining now.

That's a big reason why their game's been upped. The crowd is an extremely important aspect to wrestling. When they were at the Impact Zone, their audience was tiny, and people got in for free, as it was at Universal Studios, so most of the time, you had people who didn't really care much about wrestling. Thank god TNA terminated the lease last month, so that chapter is closed. :)

Anyway, back to the crowd. As demonstrated on RAW this week, the crowd turned an on-paper mediocre show into an amazing show. If the crowd weren't so amazing, then Ziggler's cash-in would have simply been a diamond in the rough. Hopefully we'll see part 2 of that on the 22nd when RAW's live in London. ;)

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, Former WWE Superstar Dave Batista has been working to get back into wrestling shape, and is fast approaching his 290-pound billed weight during his last run with WWE. The former 6-time World Champion left WWE in 2010 to pursue his interests in acting, as well as a career in Mixed Martial Arts.

Batista has said in recent interviews that he is interested in returning to the WWE, and listed part-time workers such as The Rock and Brock Lesnar as potential opponents. With the future of the planned Rock/Lesnar match currently unknown, it is possible WWE would push to bring back Batista to fill the role of Dwayne Johnson, who was injured in his WrestleMania match with John Cena.

It is worth noting that Batista recently landed a part in Marvel's big comic book movie "Guardians of the Galaxy" which is set to begin filming this summer.

Haha yeah that was pretty bad. It was because earlier in the match he went to put him on a table and it collapsed at the sight of him let alone any weight. Still better than anything WWE has put out in a while though.

I loathe TNA has a product, I think the best product out there at the moment is ROH, TNA is to corny and reminds me of WCW Thunder and WWE is like Nitro but ROH is where proper wrestling is at the moment (and WWE NXT)

I didn't bother with the chart in the end

Yeah, I didn't either. Still a pretty impressive feat though; highest-charting wrestling theme ever over here, and this is a time when wrestling's heyday was over a decade ago here.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
