Goldberg should of gone into MMA

At 43 now he is getting a little long in the tooth to be just starting out at that. He probably should have given that a shot right when WCW went out of business rather than pursue that last run in the WWE. He would have been 34 then and might have stood a chance at it. Unlike Brock or let's say a younger Kurt Angle I don't think Goldberg has a wrestling background at all much less one on the level of those two. It would have been an uphill battle for him and rumor has it he made an absolute killing off of Time Warner at the end of WCW so he probably saw no need.

yeah that's what I meant really when WCW folded but the MMA scene wasn't that big then? or was it...can't really remember liking it back then.

I guess that is about the time MMA and UFC in particular started to get big. WCW Couture, Liddel, Ortiz, Penn, ect were all there but the sport was not yet mainstream. WCW folded in 2001. Tough enough season 1 was in 2004-5 and provided more mainstream coverage. That is probably when the UFC started to make the really good money and thus became attractive to some additional fighters. It probably just was not attractive enough money to Goldberg back in 01.

Personally I watched a lot of the real early stuff (Shamrock(s), Gracie(s), Frye, ect) and then lost interest in MMA. What drew me back to it was WCW going out of business. Between there only being one wrestling brand and the drop off of quality in that brand I found myself with both the time and the interest to start following MMA again.

I been trying to watch MMA and UFC ...Wrestling is too fake - Wait, I met Vince McMahon and he referred to it as Theatrical Athleticism. I guess that is why a star dies every six months from drug od's or the like... I call it fake. I was a huge fan at one time. I still like HHH, but it just got boring with all the same matches and story lines.

No reason that you can't watch and enjoy both. They are totally different things. I don't watch a baseball game and then suddenly think that Bull Durham or The Natural is not enjoyably or fake. One is sport and the other is a scripted show put on by performers. For me the decline in wrestling is from the opposite effect. I believe they have stopped even trying to pretend wrestling is real sport. We all know that it isn't of course same as I know Keifer Sutherland isn't really a super agent. Wrestling could help me in maintaining my "suspension of disbelief" by trying to take themselves somewhat seriously or at least not smacking me in the face with it every five minutes. That is what I miss about the old Kayfabe era. They treated it as "real" and that helped all of us by forcing them to act more realistically and put out actually thought out stories that made sense (somewhat). In short I was able to suspend my disbelief for those 1 or 2 hours and let myself become immersed in the story same as any good TV or film.

I used to call Wrestling the Kids Soap Opera ..

Guys! Guys! Guess what?

I was driving to my gym today, and pass right beside our local airport (Cambria County Airport). Anyways, a plane was coming in for a landing, and I happened to glance up and see the WWE symbol on the tail of the plane! It was so neat. Sometimes they do house shows here at a place called the Cambria County War Memorial. I went to one once years ago, it was pretty cool. Had all the big name people, too...which surprises me. It literally was landing...and was maybe...I dunno, less than 100 yards above me. Not special to most, probably. But the fact that some of the guys I watch on television each week (and yes, the ones I criticize sometimes, hehe.

I swear, if HHH is running the Nexus thing, I'm gonna barf. Not that I hate HHH or anything, but I'd rather see someone else in charge of the whole thing. Many people thing Bryan Danelson will wind up being the one running things, I doubt it but you never know. Personally I'd LOVE it if Cena was behind the whole thing. I mean I know he's the WWE's poster boy, and Vince's main man and all that jazz, but a heel turn could do wonders for him right now imo. Plus, the whole argument that they will lose on merchandise is bologna. People buy the shirts and everything else regardless if someone is a heel or a face.

As for the anon. GM, it better not be someone lame. Again people are saying it's going to wind up being Danelson, eh I'd love to see that, but I just don't think so. Personally I'd like to see it be Vickie "I am the master at getting heat" Geurrero. Sure most of the time it's cheap heat with her "EXCUSE ME" stuff, but man she can practically cause riots with the stuff she does. But, more than likely it won't be her. Good Ole JR? I don't think so. Stone Cold? Yeah, right. The Rock...hmmm maybeeee.

And The Miz won the RAW MitB match, but did not cash it in last night. But he willllllllll.

Gee, I wonder if they are setting Kane up to be the one who veggied Undertaker (while he's vegging Michelle McCool at home) and thus Undertaker to win the title against Kane at SS? (ugh)

Looks that way. Which makes the past month pretty much pointless.

With his WWE World championship win last night, Kane would become the first person to the win the WWF (now WWE) title, the World championship and the now-defunct ECW belt while all three were under the auspices of WWE. Big Show is technically considered the first but his "World" title victory was in WCW as The Giant.

Chris Jericho wrote the following last night after Money in the Bank:

?Great ppv tonight! Congrats to Kane for his hard work and dedication to his company for 15 yrs. My company is a powerhouse that will never be beat. All other companies need to watch and learn??

The following matches were announced on RAW for the WWE Summerslam PPV:

* John Cena, Edge, John Morrison, R-Truth, The Great Khali, Chris Jericho and Bret Hart vs. Nexus (Wade Barrett, Darren Young, David Otunga, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Michael Tarver and Skip Sheffield)

* WWE TITLE MATCH: Sheamus ? vs. Randy Orton

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
