Damien, I can't play any of the videos that you've been posting.

Just noticed they're not playing on here for me either. In my case, they're just frozen though; the context menu still comes up, and they play just fine through the original Gfycat link.

It was announced during NXT (actually a commercial) that the first 100 hours available of WCW Monday Nitro will be added next week, I think that's about the first 50 episodes.

 

they'll be in the Vault section .. http://network.wwe.com/shows/vault/wcw-monday-nitro

 

Actually they announced that during Raw this week.

Candice LeRae. Her renowned move known as Ballsplex

Aha, that name's familiar; saw her in TNA last year (and the production botched her name)...

 

Speaking of the "Ballsplex", just searching her name came up with a pretty awesome double one she did on The Young Bucks (among other amazing things with Adam Cole)...

She is pretty good compared to WWE divas and Joey Ryan is her tag team partner (World's cutest tag team) If you want to see more of her action can watch mini PPV on PWG eleven...the match card http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com/tickets/

I watched the first episode of The Monday Night War. Very well done, looking forward to the other 19 episodes planned for this series. At one point they interview Vince Russo. Had no idea he "made up" with WWE.

Maybe the interview was done years ago. You can see there are interviews from 2003, 1998, etc., even with Vince.

 

Anyway, I also watched 3 episodes of this. While the production is good, the "documentary" feels biased (quite obvious, since it's done by WWE). They spin the story to their advantage and I really don't like that. For example, the Attitude era was not the reason for WCW's end. WCW sabotaged itself, THAT'S what gave WWE the advantage. If you think about it, the "rebel" act was already done by the nWo, so DX was a poor attempt to imitate that. While I do see Austin's merits, and also others, I am 1000% sure that if Bischoff wasn't so cocky and arrogant WCW would've never loose this "war". WWE had, as Bischoff said in the interviews, cartoonish characters, while WCW/nWo focused on reality. WWE did just that with their Attitude era, copying WCW. 

 

Another example of biased story is how many times they say "WCW hired x and y, former WWE stars" and someone said they felt like WCW was cheating because of this. This is beyond stupid, it's like saying "Real Madrid cheated, they transferred Mesi from Barcelona and they won the title, booooooo".

Agreed; the same excuse is used with TNA whenever they sign a former WWE/WCW person.

True. Unfortunately, TNA was never real competition for WWE. And this is bad for us, viewers. During the "monday night wars", WWE dropped their PG crap and stepped up, to compete with WCW. With WCW gone, they don't have a real competitor, so they're back to their usual "bubble gum crap", as Big Show says. I will always regret WCW, because competition means a better product for people.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
