According to F4WOnline.com, WWE NXT trainer Billy Gunn, real name Monty Sopp, has been fired by WWE for testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone in a powerlifting meet on July 25.

According to the report, Sopp’s drug test at the meet came up with a 37-1 testosterone/epitestosterone ratio, well over the 4-1 limit, and he was suspended from powerlifting for four years.

It’s also being said WWE officials did not become aware of Sopp competing as a powerlifter, or the fact that he had been banned from the sport four years ago, until a few weeks ago.

Hi All,

Sorry to be the bad guy here guys but we are unfortunately getting reports from members that NSFW filters are being applied to this forum because of some of the pictures (I don't think I need to spell out which ones!). In hope you can all understand that because of our COPPA agreement I regret I'm going to have to ask people stop posting these. from now on.

For those of you who do subscribe there is a forum where you can post these types of pictures as it's out of the general view. Any future posts will be removed and repeated posts may result in warnings.

Again, sorry to have to be that guy :/

 

Once again, the people in charge of this site do not understand COPPA at all. It has NOTHING to do with scantily clad women. Or nude women. Or basically anything on this entire site. It is about marketing (AKA selling) things to children under 13. I've said this before in various discussions but no one ever actually reads the damn law. Or doesn't change their excuse that they give, at least. 

If you (or Steve, or whover) is against the pictures - then say that. Don't blame it on a law that has nothing to do with this site, the content you are objecting to, or frankly, anything. 

Its this simple: You don't market the site (or products on this site) to children under 13, and more importantly are not collecting their information. COPPA doesn't apply.

http://www.coppa.org/

Edit: And just because children under 13 may visit the site doesn't 'make' COPPA apply. The law is very clear that if you are not collecting information from children under 13, you are not violating COPPA. It has nothing to do with content, because that, as we all know, is protected in the US under freedom of speech.

I'm not getting into something that I admit I do not know enough, so lets remove the entire COPPA thing out of this for one second. The thread is being blocked by NSFW filters, The team behind this forum do not want any public forums to be blocked because of NSFW content therefore we are asking people to stop.

We asked for pictures like this to be stopped a long time ago from one of the general forums, this one slipped through the net.

Now, it is what it is, let's not derail this thread any more than it already has been.

What exactly is a 'NSFW filter'? Where is it applied? At the forum level? Or are you talking about content filters in a corporate network? Shouldn't a thread about wrestling be considered NSFW anyway? Or anything in the media section, really?

Don't try to tell me its an SEO/Google/ranking thing. Because its not - that doesn't exist.

Steve can enforce whatever rules and policies he wants. Its his site. I've been a member here a very long time. But give the correct reasoning as to why.

I believe corporate network filters.

Yeah, I'd agree there. If this was still just a WWE thread, you could possibly argue otherwise, because of their PG rating, but that argument goes out the window as soon as you start posting vintage WWE stuff. :p

So, about that segment from this week's Raw...

Bad form, WWE. :/

Well, that went off well!  Daddy may not have been brought in about it, but Paige and Charlotte sure were...otherwise, why would Charlotte bring up Reid in the first place?

It's a bit low to not consult the rest of the family before going ahead with it. They did it with Paul Bearer's family before using him in the CM Punk/Undertaker rivalry, so it's weird that they didn't do it for this one.

Lance Storm nailed it for me, anyway...

As noted, former TNA and ROH star Austin Aries is backstage at the NXT television tapings at Full Sail University this evening, however he isn’t the only former TNA star at the show.

It was rumored earlier this week that James Storm would be making his NXT return after debuting a few weeks ago. As it turns out, Storm is indeed backstage at the show and is expected to wrestle during tonight’s taping.

Finally, Storm’s former TNA World Tag-Team Champion partner Gunner is backstage at the show in Winter Park, Florida as well.

In the case of Gunner, much like Aries, it isn’t exactly clear what he is doing at the show and is in no way confirmed that he will be debuting for NXT tonight.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.3 changelog: Fixes issues with MP4 files with more than 8 channels Fixes incorrect VBR detection for some CBR MP3 files Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
