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.

    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale

      By Steven P. · Posted

      The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8. In short, you have everything you need to get started. All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse). GEEKOM A8 at GEEKOM U.S. for $519 was $649 (20% off) GEEKOM A8 at GEEKOM U.K. for £503 was £629 (20% off) GEEKOM A8 at GEEKOM CA for $735.20 was $919 (20% off) Use coupon code NWGKA820 when checking out. This flash deal expires on July 2. Next up is the highest savings on the A7 Max series of Mini PC in the Spring Sale. The GEEKOM [2026 Edition] A7 MAX with AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, 16GB DDR5, and 1TB SSD. Operating System: Windows 11 Pro CPU Model: Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU Speed: 5.2 GHz Cache Size: 24 MB Graphics Card Description: Integrated Graphics Coprocessor: AMD Radeon 780M Memory Storage Capacity: 16GB DDR5 SSD: 1 TB We reviewed this Mini PC back in January, and praised it for its modern internals like a dedicated NPU and DDR5 memory; as such, it is more than capable of keeping up with today's offerings of Mini PC on the market. GEEKOM A7 Max at GEEKOM U.S. for $587 (was $699) 16% off GEEKOM A7 Max at GEEKOM U.K. for £551 was £689 (20% off) Use coupon code NWGKA7MAX when checking out. This flash deal expires on July 2. Huge Summer Sale If the above deals don't tickle your fancy, from today, there are deep discounts on a range of other GEEKOM products. From June 15 to June 30, the GEEKOM Official Store will be running its Summer Sale, with discounts starting from 15% off across the entire lineup, up to 50%! This is their biggest promotion of the year so far, offering pricing that is even lower than select Prime Day deals. You can check out the discounts at the dedicated Summer Sale landing pages below. GEEKOM U.S. Summer Sale GEEKOM U.K. Summer Sale What's more, all products from GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse, the U.K. has a U.K. warehouse, Australia has an AU warehouse). While the Summer Sale ends on June 30, deals on the A8 and A7 Max will remain active until July 2.
