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.

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

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
