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.

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

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
