I have a huge problem with WWE network.

 

WWE buy rates have been dwindling for a long time now.  It is entirely down to their product going downhill over the past 8-10 years but I think even the last WM got nowhere near the buys WWE wanted.

 

The WWE network is basically them trying to bolster flagging PPV views and they're doing this by selling old content rather than improve their own current product.

 

The WWE network in and of itself isn't bad and i'm quite keen on a lot of the old content planned for it, but it is not replacement for improving their current product :/

 

 

WrestleMania sold over 1M last year. Which is their goal every year. Its not WM they want to improve - its everything else.

?According to Winnersports.uk.co, Vince McMahon has expressed initial interest in buying the Newcastle United Football crisis club from owner Mike Ashley.

 

The report notes that no official bids have been made at this point, and tentative talks are in the very early stages, but McMahon has expressed interest in the club. You can read more at this link.

 

-------

several sites are reporting that the WWE Network will be accessible from two locations on a single account.

Hello,

I don't think he's going to do MMA.  He's going to take a couple years, enjoy his money, and chill.  I was hoping it was a work, but it looks official, WWE gave him his release.  

 

I personally think it was best for both parties.  CM Punk was too beat up and really needs time off, and he knew he would never get the top spot.  And to be honest, I don't think WWE needs CM Punk anymore.  The fans will get over him real quick, like they do when other wrestlers are released.  WWE just has to get through the Chicago crowd on March 3rd, once that's done, the rest is easy.  I won't be talking about CM Punk anymore... he's retired, he's done... Time to move on.

CM Punk isn't going to do any MMA thing.

We have seen stranger things happen...lets see if WWE makes a official announcement or its going to be one of those quiet things..

I was going to see if they dropped Punk from the roster yet (nope) and thought hey lets look at Naomi and see if they say anything her injury (and yeah, that ass too) and once again the WWE ceases to amazing me: She is billed from "Planet Funk" :no:

First the  WWE network will also include new  content created for the network  like NXT and such and reality programs and new  and future original content  but  course it will host everything from 1985 on up and who knows even before that date  including ECW and WCW stuff   But that is the cool part because  someone like myself can relive old matches and  entire shows and  WWE events 

 

 

Also   WWEN is like netflix as  Netflix host all sorts of old programming  yet  people love netflix  

 

Punk back to TNA? I bet they'd pay big bucks to have him even in a non wrestling role.

 

 

 

CM Punk was never on TNA    so ther is no him going back to something he was never aprt of   he  Was apart of  ECW that is now WWE owned  brand

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      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
