Meh, she's fine. She's not anorexic or anything.

 

As far as her sexuality - plenty of girls kiss other girls. Its kind of a 'thing'. Been that way for years. Doesn't make her 'gay'. Bi, maybe, but not gay.

 

Not that it matters or anything - but I could swear back a few pages there was a discussion about how she's gay and only dates women? Either way, that's her choice :)

Damien already mentioned Tajiri, so I didn't mention him. Honestly, I forgot Mr. Fuji did a fair bit of wrestling, but he's mostly known for his managerial work, isn't he? Have to say I've never heard of Mr. Saito before, but Wikipedia's my friend there; 2-time WWF Tag Team Champion with Mr. Fuji. Haven't heard of Killer Khan before either. Sure, Ultimo Dragon had a decent couple of years in WCW, but I wasn't around for those and I mostly remember his unfortunately disastrous time with WWE. And I was going to mention Antonio Inoki, but I looked back at his history and he never really did anything in America; he held the WWF title for a week in Japan against Bob Backlund (although WWE would rather we didn't remember that), and that was essentially his only brush with America, besides his induction in the WWE Hall of Fame. Although if you expand outside of wrestling, there's also the MMA match he had with Muhammad Ali.

 

Inoki is a WWE Hall of Famer, I would say thats 'success'.

Someone did mention she was, I remember that post. But its not 'fact'  nor do I (personally) think its accurate.

Shame on me, how could I forgot these athletes? Especially, Mr Fuji, a hall of famer and Ultimo Dragon who innovated a good portion of the high risk moves. They were a good part of the 90' wrestling landscape.

I need to go back to the wrestling library.

The full story of the Undertaker-Brock Lesnar match will probably come out publicly in a few weeks when the Shawn Michaels interview with Jim Ross airs on Podcast One. As noted before, Vince McMahon was the one that made the decision to have Taker lose the match and that was a decision that was made very late. The original plan was for Brock Lesnar to lose. Privately people are saying that it was the wrong decision because they believe that The Undertaker will be back next year and the streak was one of the big attractions at WrestleMania but they've killed that. Nobody is willing to say that publicly. Shawn Michaels might say that though since he's not one to worry about what people will say to him since he's bulletproof.

One thing to note, when Vince made the call to have Undertaker lose he did it because he did think it could be Taker's last match because of how bad his shoulder and hip injuries were.

WWE held a conference call for its first quarter financials this morning, and it was hosted by Michael Weitz, George Barrios and Vince McMahon. The following are some highlights from the call:

-Vince said that with Network subscriptions and PPV buys, WrestleMania 30 did over 1 million buys, and the launch of the Network has been well received by fans and industry experts.

-Vince said WWE will be announcing a new TV deal in several weeks, and the company is currently negotiating in India.

-Barrios said WWE maintains the belief that the Network will hit 1 million subscriptions by the end of the year, and 2 to 3 million as the Network grows.

-Barrios said Tough Enough will be coming to the Network, but he did not specify whether or not it will be new seasons of the show, or archives of past seasons.

-TV revenue was up thanks mostly to Total Divas. WWE Studios revenue was up mostly thanks to The Call. Scooby-Doo and Oculus are delivering strong performances that are in line with expectations.

-Live event revenue was up from the previous year's quarter due in part to a rise in ticket prices and new VIP packages.

-They expect a $7-$10 million loss for the second quarter of this year.

    • 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.
