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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
