I appreciate that Ryback is taking a stand for what he believes in.  I just don't really agree with what he believes in.  People who draw crowds and ratings should get paid more.  Heels who lose, Heels who win, Faces who lose, Faces who win, it doesn't matter as long as they draw.  Ryback isn't really a draw in my opinion.  He may work hard and I can get behind that, but it doesn't change the fact that he isn't very charismatic and I have never really cared if he is on a card or not when I am watching.  Like him or hate him, Cena puts butts in seats because people love to love him and love to hate him.  Charisma gets you that.  Even when Lesnar was losing all of his matches to Cena a couple years back, he was still a draw because people want to see him perform and Heyman is charismatic on his behalf.  Ryback never had a good move set or solid mic skills, it's unfortunate that hard work didn't pay off big for him, but sometimes that happens.

 

Someone on WrestlingInc made a good point:  Everyone on the Cleveland Cavaliers works their butts off, that's why they are in the NBA.  Lebron gets paid more than all of them by far because he puts butts in seats, win or lose.  Some people are just innately better at that than others, hard work aside.

WWE's done their annual spring cleaning again. Eight releases... http://www.wwe.com/article/damien-sandow-king-barrett-other-superstars-released

  • Hornswoggle (Meh.)
  • Alex Riley (Meh, but he's going out on a high; his last taped NXT match is against Shinsuke Nakamura.)
  • El Torito (Not surprising, since Los Matadores was scrapped.)
  • Cameron (Meh.)
  • Santino Marella (Well, bugger. I always liked him, and it sucks he got forced into early retirement.)
  • Wade Barrett (Definitely the biggest loss of the bunch, but not surprising, since he's wanted to leave for the past few months. Hopefully he'll tour the indies.)
  • Damien Sandow (Nooooooooooooooo!!!)
  • Zeb Colter (Shame; could have probably put him to good use during the US presidential campaign.)

Pretty much agree with your take on them.  Santino could have been kept for color commentary, back stage interviews, etc, but I guess that wasn't in the cards.  Sandow being gone is a big disappointment.  He was GREAT with The Miz, and in most of what he did.  To bad he wasn't allowed to keep going.

Holy ######... :omg: That better be a WWE Network special!

PWInsider.com is reporting WWE released The Brooklyn Brawler, Steve Lombardi, last week.

 

Lombardi had been with the company for more than 30 years, but was reportedly released quietly from his contract last week. WWE has not publicly reported this, but PWInsider noted that they did confirm the release after Lombardi’s name originally came up during last week’s talent releases, but remained unconfirmed until now.

-------------

According to PWInsider.com, Triple H has signed a new three year wrestler contract with WWE as recent paperwork was filed with the SEC.

The deal was dated May 9th, so the assumption is that Triple H will be wrestling at least through WrestleMania 35. The deal would then renew annually unless one party informs the other of an intent to terminate the contract.

Raymond "Adam Rose" Leppan was arrested this morning by The Hillsborough, Florida Sheriff's office at 1:30.  He was charged with Tampering With a Witness and Battery Domestic Violence.  As of this writing, he has not been released yet.

 

Obviously, this not a good thing for a person already serving a 60 day WWE suspension

Well, he's well and truly ######ed up now.

Don't worry guys, he'll find new employment in TNA or ROH etc. Wrestlers always move around company to company, that's just how it is. Even for drug addicts (though I am inclined to actually believe him on that one) and women beaters.

until TNA drops off the face of the earth.. I mean they're on the edge right now.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).

    • 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.
