They need to sort themselves out and fast.

 

It is a real shame because TNA catches onto some great ideas and then they suddenly get dropped. Sometimes because they decide to just change direction, sometimes because they've failed so hard at the basics of business like screwing contract negotiations up.

 

They have flashes of brilliance but sadly that's all it is. They have the potential to be so much more.

 

Saddens me really because WWE and their PG era is complete trash, so there's very little decent wrestling action to be found (on TV at least)

Plans for NXT star Kassius Ohno, f.k.a. Chris Hero, to join the main roster have apparently been put on hold.

 

According to a source, the creative team had a storyline to introduce Ohno this summer. People within the company were impressed with his in-ring skills and his promos, and had asked him to improve his physique while creative worked on his introduction. According to trainers at NXT, Ohno seemed reluctant in the weightlifting and gym sessions, although he continued to receive high marks for his overall attitude and the great effort in his daily in-ring sessions.
 
Word got back to Triple H about Ohno dodging gym time, and he was removed from TV tapings. Ohno has missed two tapings in the past few weeks, and there is said to be increased concern about his status with the company. A lot of people are still high on him, but this could prove to be costly for one of the top prospects in WWE's developmental system.

I haven't watched TNA in a long time (when Hogan took over) and it's a shame how it's been run into the ground. I was just getting ready to give it another shot too. It was around that time that I decided to give WWE another chance but it's just too PG now. Who's the champ? John Cena. Who probably sells the most merchandise? John Cena. Stopped watching it when they started trying to make another Goldberg with Ryback.

 

So, what are Sting and Kurt Angle up to now? Or the Dudley Boyz (3D)?

So, what are Sting and Kurt Angle up to now? Or the Dudley Boyz (3D)?

 

All still in TNA. Sting recently reformed the Main Event Mafia with Kurt Angle and a few others to take on the Aces & Eights (the big heel stable in TNA), who wouldn't look out of place in an episode of Sons of Anarchy. Team 3D broke up a while ago, Bully Ray broke out as a singles star, and over the course of nine months, won the TNA world title, turned heel, revealed himself as president of A&8s (with Devon as the "Sgt. in Arms") and became the biggest heel in the company (not at Jeff Jarrett "King of the Mountain" level, but close).

 

The storyline was faltering until he won the title and revealed "the hoax" in series of short videos which I'd recommend watching: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcovtt7Bdo9PoQayRLfnv2BPcHGXGtx0e

According to ProWrestling.net, Dixie Carter, Jeff Jarrett, TNA CFO Dean Broadhead and EVP Andy Barton were all backstage at last week's Impact Wrestling, and spoke to the entire TNA locker room about possibly continuing with budget cuts, warning everyone that they were still being evaluated.

 

In the meeting, Dixie claimed one of the major reasons for the cuts and restructuring were how much money they spent taping all the One Night Only pay-per-views earlier this year. These shows were pre-recorded in place of the eight pay-per-view events that TNA cut from their annual schedule, in order to save money.

@VinceMcMahon Vince, thank you for your personal welcome back to the WWE Universe. It is noted and appreciated. All the Warriors of Parts Unknown take pride in being one of the original galaxies of the Universe you created. Not one of my days has passed without a flashback to my time in the business and my relationship with you. After 17 years of battling one another, perhaps the stars have finally aligned and Destiny is prepared to tell one of Sports Entertainment?s greatest stories: how two of the industry?s most determined, colorful, intense and explosive personalities brought to life a persona that made such an inspiring impression that it still captures the hearts and minds of fans all over the world, even all these years later. I am proud Ultimate Warrior is an iconic, immortal spirit in the Universe you created. I know, Vince McMahon, you are proud, too. The inhabitants of your WWE Universe believe your personal welcome is an invitation of sorts. If so, consider this my RSVP with one condition. Wisdom takes a seat at the table with us when we meet, but we each also leave unburied a slight edge of the hatchet we?ve carried over the years. that other gutless and heartless God-fearing men urge us to lay to rest forever. Face it, neither one of us were ever any good at being bored or boring others. So coming prepared to kill one another makes for a interesting backup plan. Always Believe, Warrior

Bryan is going to defeat Cena for the title at Summerslam. And win clean.

 

 

then Orton will cash in

 

 

Exactly how I reckon it'll go. Bryan's not gonna win clean without a catch, and the catch will probably be Orton.

**** Orton.

It's the legitimate way of turning Orton heel but making him do the one thing the "Universe" will really hate

Absolutely.  Jericho vs RVD needs to be there as well.  Those 2 matches are some of the best I have seen in quite some time (including PPV matches).

Yeah to me it shows that Cesaro should be doing more than being with "Weed the people" :p

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.3 changelog: Fixes issues with MP4 files with more than 8 channels Fixes incorrect VBR detection for some CBR MP3 files Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
