If this is to be a one-fight deal, Goldberg will lose.  WWE can't help but keep feeding Lesnar wins he doesn't deserve.

'Deserve' is such a silly thing in pro wrestling since its scripted. Not only that, but how would Goldberg 'deserve' to win? He hasn't wrestled in what, 12 years?

 

I have no interest in this match. Zero. Goldberg back then was a sh*ttier Roman Reigns. Now he's probably downright terrible.

Of course it's scripted.  But Brock is being fed people who need the win to get their character over, have contributed towards the WWE by wrestling many events and house shows.  I just don't rate him as a wrestler or human being.

How does Goldberg fit into any of that? I would book Goldberg to get beat by a goddamn mop handle. He's bad (both in the ring and everything written about him says also as a human being) and deserves nothing.

I've not heard that about him.  I know he is very much "turn up, fight, get paid" and has no allegiance, but I've never heard anything bad about him as a person.  But yes, I take your point about really he's just as Lesnar as far as the business end goes.

Well, with that in mind and bearing that I met Jericho in person (outside of his WWE persona and as the frontman of Fozzy) and found him one of the most open, personable, fun and also humble people I've ever encountered - I take the quotes at face value.

Brock is being fed people

really ?

Destroying Cena , Roman etc was really what he does.

Love it when he gets into his destroying mode & most people do too.

Please read about him more & you will change that opinion.

 

Like it or not Brock does give it all in ring

WWE could have used him better(Champion? More main events?) but people love to see him unlike "ROMAN" or "CENA"

With Brock Anybody that he steps into the ring with, he can elevate just by his intensity which most others cannot do and he brings that AURA with him.

EVEN Biggest Draw in UFC History(It's no small thing not even Georges St-Pierre or Anderson Silva headlined cards have broken Lesnar’s 1.6 million PPV record at UFC 100)

 

Plus he works is A-OFF

 

 

 

Read somewhere MMA training camp are insanely difficult. You have to work out twice a day for six days a week while also eating healthy and possibly managing media at the same time. Now imagine doing that with a disease which wreaks havoc on your large intestine. But that's not all Lesnar was stricken by an attack of diverticulitis, a disease which occurs when pouches in the large intestine become inflamed or infected. For Lesnar, the disease meant that he almost died due to doctors not being able to find out what was wrong with him initially. Lesnar ran from Canada’s “third world health care” to North Dakota where he learnt that fecal matter was dropping into his abdomen.

Due to his immune system working overtime, Lesnar also contracted mononucleosis at the same time. Through a freak miracle Lesnar avoided surgery when his body healed itself with antibiotics and a change in diet, allowing him to return to the UFC. The disease flared up again in 2011, but that time surgery was needed to fix him and a 12 inch piece of his colon was cut out and repaired to cure him of his disease.

As a person just read in his 2011 autobiography “Death Clutch” — which was co-authored by Paul Heyman — stating that the sword on his chest represents the myriad pressures he felt during a dark period in his life after leaving WWE.

“I felt like life was holding a sword right up against my throat, so I went under the ink gun because I never wanted to forget exactly how I felt at that time,” Lesnar wrote. “The tattoo on my chest has so much meaning to me. In some ways, it’s funny, because the period of my life that I’m talking about is a time I so want to forget, but I know I can use this memory as motivation.”

 

I like him for the Man he is in and out of the ring

Brock Lesnar is the most passionate wrestler to have ever stepped in the wrestling ring. If  put him in an octagon,in a fight situation,there's no one on this planet that could possibly take him down.

WWE consists of wrestlers that are portrayed as the "good" guys and the "bad" guys.Surely,Brock has been continuously portrayed as a "bad" guy.
The reasons are many.One probable reason is because he never had a smooth-understanding relationship with the WWE stakeholders and owners,like the one John Cena has.

Wrestling career,particularly in WWE,doesn't essentially rely only on being athletic,having a daunting physique and equipped with wrestling skills.But,it too relies on being a good orator.

For instance,John Cena can connect with the WWE Universe with ease.He is the master speaker when it comes to entertain the public with the mic,which makes him a "good" guy.That makes him a likeable guy because the public can relate with him and he didn't hurl abuses at them at any point in his whole career till date.

On the other side,Brock has,since his debut,only focussed on being the best wrestler with his 'ring' performance.He doesn't like to speak much in the ring which makes him a lesser speaker.
He represents animalistic strength and the desire to be the best. To which the general common public cannot relate much.
 
Being a successful WWE Superstar,one cannot be his true self and he has to portray a false identity.This was one of the reasons that Brock despised the most and still does

 

watching the following video,one can pretty much figure out what truely Brock is.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e4Fs5xP4O8

 

He is more of a Man than others yet he is Just like jerico a great guy outside too.

But hate it when people do not appreciate what the are getting with BROCK LESNAR. Glodberg etc don't even come close to him.

He is in the mix with the best  not just for the person he is out side the ring but also he can elevate just by his intensity which most others cannot do.

Not disrespecting you, just felt it was a lot to quote.  I shall read your comments.  I just find some of the things he has said in interviews quite offensive.

Not disrespecting you too but some of the things he has said in interviews might be quite offensive but sometimes it's also part of his work which he has to do.

Uhmm, what?! I'm sorry, but to me this is like comparing Doink to Taker. Reigns is pathetic to say the least, I don't like how they dress him, how he wrestles, how he speaks, absolutely nothing. Goldberg, on the other hand, had basically squash matches his entire WCW run and people loved it. Never god tired of it, as I also never did back then. There was something about this guy that got you really pumped up on his matches. Reigns...is useless. Or maybe used improperly, I don't know. In 1 million years he will never have Goldberg's charisma. I don't care if he only cares about money, if he's not a good wrestler, he is entertaining people and that is all that matters. To be fair, there were different times, he was younger and no PG crap, but I still think he can do it in the ring. At least for a handful of matches.

 

I might be the only one who is absolutely thrilled for Goldberg's appearance next week (yet I wish they wouldn't announce it...), but I don't care, I will enjoy every second of it. And considering how hard it was for both parties to agree to terms so far, I would imagine that he won't be back just to play a ###### script or get demolished by Lesnar. He's not a stupid man. This might turn out to be much better than anyone is thinking right now. :)

Whoa, I didn't say people didn't/don't enjoy Goldberg. But he is/was not very talented in the ring. He has NEVER 'done it' in the ring. He has what, 3 total moves? And people talk about Cena being limited? Please. 

 

His 'charisma'? That he slaps himself in the head and roars? Yeah, thats some great character there. He's a train wreck on the mic. No way you can dispute that. 

 

Goldberg and Brock are very much the same - their sole focus is making money.

I agree, but that was the best thing about him and, in my opinion, the only thing that matters these days: he didn't need more than 3 moves and 2 words to entertain people. :) To me that's one of the greatest gifts a wrestler can have. Take Lesnar for example. I really believe that without Heyman he would be just another Rayback. He does what Goldberg used to do, but there is THAT one thing that's missing. And Goldberg always had it.

I guess we will have to wait and see :) And to be honest I'm mostly looking forward to everything LEADING to that match. 

Ugh why, the only one who can talk on the mic is Heyman. Lesnar is horrible on the mic, and Goldberg isn't much better. Though he has done more acting and what not than Lesnar has since the last time he was in a ring. So maybe he might be able to talk some... Heyman would be the only reason I'd tune in, other than to see each week as one beats the other to a pulp unless they are going to Lesnar-ize Goldberg completely.

If he is back just for one match then it could go other way too,

last time they met Brock was one the way from WWE (Which was to prove himself like CM PUNK)

 

Any ideas on which ppv the match will be?

As noted, suspended WWE star Paige’s family has spoken out publicly about her 60 day suspension, with Paige’s father claiming that she is taking doctor prescribed painkillers to treat an ongoing neck injury.

 

Paige’s brothers Zak and Roy also offered their opinions on social media, and claimed Paige was not being treated properly for her medical issues, leading to her “going private” and receiving the painkiller prescriptions.

 

 

WWE released a statement to The New York Post, responding to the above claims, and it reads as follows:

 

Quote

“Saraya-Jade Bevis tested positive for an illegal substance, not a prescription drug. In addition, WWE is providing world-class medical care for her in-ring injury.”

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 release notes: Added added a Global Settings checkbox for ForceBoxDocs under Program Control > Force Process Options Changed disabled rich text acceptance in 'Edit ini Section' baa6968 extended completion system with context-aware filtering, improved INI key resolution, regex updates, and tooltip placement enhancements 6db2a04 Fixed fixed crash in VMware when running inside sandbox caused by NtQueryDirectoryObject hook returning non-null-terminated strings and uninitialized padding bytes in OBJECT_DIRECTORY_INFORMATION structures, which caused QueryDosDeviceW to crash in wcscmp #5390 Add short-name fallback cache and heuristics #5404 fixed addon setup not working introduced in a recent build fixed Starting from version 1.17.4, using the 'Sandbox with Data Protection' type box causes PowerShell to wait indefinitely, while there is no such bug with other types. #5408 fixed Importing encrypted box no longer creates encrypted image in v1.17.6 #5399 fixed EditorSettings fuzzy matching not applied, showing few/no completion entries, and table cell highlighting not updating fixed Error enumerating and deleting folder. #5406 fixed black box import/export when 'ProtectAdminOnly=y' (default) and SandMan does not run as admin Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.3 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.2 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 3.19.2 changelog: Fixes a crash when starting the graphical interface without a display on Linux Fixes MP3 metadata encoding and ID3 tag writing issues on Windows Fixes a crash when loading audio with autosave enabled on Windows user paths containing non-ASCII characters Fixes a freeze when batch-processing more than 5 files with a 64-bit VST plugin Fixes some conditions in audio mixer Fixes loudness statistics for surround files and Short-Term Maximum Loudness accuracy 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
