Apparently there's a title change tonight on Raw!

My bet is Ambrose

Yeah, it seems to be the likely one. I'd go with that or the Divas title; Cameron gets a rematch after last night's cluster######, Tamina gets banned from ringside, Cameron wins.

Jesus, didn't Vince think to buy some damn servers & bandwidth before launching this "network"? Seems all that's on that page is "Media Error: Video not available"

 

They are using MLB's existing service for both, and signups. MLB Advanced Media. They couldn't handle it. I'm sure Vince is ######. 

Its running fine on my end now, has been for a few hours.

Well, the signup didn't work for me for many hours, now browsing through the site works, but absolutely no video shows up, only that error... Damn...

Hello,

Shield vs. Wyatts is probably the closest we'll ever see to a 5* match in WWE this year. Just give them the bloody Slammy Award now.

It was great but Bray vs Bryan was better.

That being said, Shield vs Wyatts was Wrestlemania material.

UPDATE: WWE Network Back On Track After Opening-Day Technical Problems

 

UPDATE, 1:01 PM: People who want to subscribe to WWE Network should be able to do so now that the company?s technology partner, Major League Baseball Advanced Media, has worked through the launch-day crush. Demand for subscriptions ?exceeded anything we have seen in 14 years of doing e-commerce,? MLBAM says.

PREVIOUS, 11:35 AM: The new $9.99-a-month online video network has been ?unable to process most orders since 9 AM,? the WWE says. It attributes the launch-day woes to its technology partner Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM). It was ?overwhelmed? by the demand for subscriptions and ?has been working aggressively to resolve this issue.? WWE shares are down about 1.7% on a day when the overall market is up about 1%. It has a lot riding on the initiative. The company unveiled its online plans at the International CES electronics show in January. Expectations that the global Internet channel will be a hit with fans helped to drive a 46% increase in WWE?s market value so far in 2014, and recently hit record highs. CFO George Barrios told analysts last week that the network could attract as many as 3M subscribers and become a ?major source of future earnings growth? with as much as $150M a year in cash flow. The company expects to serve the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Nordic countries by early 2015.

 

 

basically their servers crashed this morning, as if anyone was expecting it not to have any tech issues the day it goes live.

To go a little off-topic with this WWE Network stuff, here's some more of Vince's "genius" :rolleyes: : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiLjDD_RvIo

 

P.S. I agree with that guys on the comments, about the nWo being inducted in the HOF, I think they'll have the same chance Savage has. And if Savage gets inducted, it means these guys have to die too to get there...

    • 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.
