Damien, I can't play any of the videos that you've been posting.

Just noticed they're not playing on here for me either. In my case, they're just frozen though; the context menu still comes up, and they play just fine through the original Gfycat link.

It was announced during NXT (actually a commercial) that the first 100 hours available of WCW Monday Nitro will be added next week, I think that's about the first 50 episodes.

 

they'll be in the Vault section .. http://network.wwe.com/shows/vault/wcw-monday-nitro

 

Actually they announced that during Raw this week.

Candice LeRae. Her renowned move known as Ballsplex

Aha, that name's familiar; saw her in TNA last year (and the production botched her name)...

 

Speaking of the "Ballsplex", just searching her name came up with a pretty awesome double one she did on The Young Bucks (among other amazing things with Adam Cole)...

She is pretty good compared to WWE divas and Joey Ryan is her tag team partner (World's cutest tag team) If you want to see more of her action can watch mini PPV on PWG eleven...the match card http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com/tickets/

I watched the first episode of The Monday Night War. Very well done, looking forward to the other 19 episodes planned for this series. At one point they interview Vince Russo. Had no idea he "made up" with WWE.

Maybe the interview was done years ago. You can see there are interviews from 2003, 1998, etc., even with Vince.

 

Anyway, I also watched 3 episodes of this. While the production is good, the "documentary" feels biased (quite obvious, since it's done by WWE). They spin the story to their advantage and I really don't like that. For example, the Attitude era was not the reason for WCW's end. WCW sabotaged itself, THAT'S what gave WWE the advantage. If you think about it, the "rebel" act was already done by the nWo, so DX was a poor attempt to imitate that. While I do see Austin's merits, and also others, I am 1000% sure that if Bischoff wasn't so cocky and arrogant WCW would've never loose this "war". WWE had, as Bischoff said in the interviews, cartoonish characters, while WCW/nWo focused on reality. WWE did just that with their Attitude era, copying WCW. 

 

Another example of biased story is how many times they say "WCW hired x and y, former WWE stars" and someone said they felt like WCW was cheating because of this. This is beyond stupid, it's like saying "Real Madrid cheated, they transferred Mesi from Barcelona and they won the title, booooooo".

Agreed; the same excuse is used with TNA whenever they sign a former WWE/WCW person.

True. Unfortunately, TNA was never real competition for WWE. And this is bad for us, viewers. During the "monday night wars", WWE dropped their PG crap and stepped up, to compete with WCW. With WCW gone, they don't have a real competitor, so they're back to their usual "bubble gum crap", as Big Show says. I will always regret WCW, because competition means a better product for people.

    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
