good lord I just rewatched undertaker's suicide dive at WM25 and he nearly fucking killed himself I think.

Added to the match IMO. It's a sight I'll never forget. Legit thought he crippled himself for a moment there.

I can't believe Ric Flair wrestled Inoki in North Korea.
So I just watched the Ricardo Rodriguez interview, and I'm not a huge fan of him. Great stuff.
He gets really into detail about his experience in WWE and he never really comes off as bitter. He does have heat with Triple H and the Shield but he explained why in detail so I get it on his part.
Easily one of the best shoot interviews in ages, I suggest a watch.
He confirms that WWE really does hold people down multiple times throughout the interview. He does mention that he isn't sure Bryan's depushing was a work or not so take that as you will.
He also confirms that pretty much everyone in WWE is pissed off at the Network cutting it's pay. The way he quantified it (a "10" becomes a "4") really has me convinced that the WWE Network was one of the worst business decisions Vince has ever made. To kill your pay-per-view business for a product only the most dedicated hardcore fans would get is stupid, especially since it cuts everyone's payrates in the process as well. CM Punk also mentioned he was unhappy about that as well weeks before he left in multiple interviews, which has got me thinking that might be one of the primary reasons why he left.
He also has me convinced that Triple H isn't going to be all that much better than Vince. Ricardo made note that people getting depushed for speaking out is mainly something that only happened when Triple H took over. Before Vince would listen, but now since Triple H has taken over he'll actively punish you for disliking something or speaking out on things. Aka Vince appreciates you if you have balls, Triple H doesn't. This explains a lot actually.
I think there's a discord there with two many cooks spoiling the stew. There needs to be one focus, one ruler to rule them all so to speak. Also a better creative staff cause the one they have right now are full of bumfuck idiots.

Has anyone used the Chromecast dongle to stream the Network to their TV? If it works I'll buy one today.
I've just found out we won't be getting an app to download until the 18th November and even then the press release doesn't mention one for PS3 or PS4.

I don't want to bother downloading a plug in access US servers and I don't even have a computer anyway. Only a Nexus 7.
So can I stream the Network from my tablet to the TV in a the Chrome browser?

Damn, Big Show was such a blob of crap in 2006. He was ripped in WCW. The fucking big gold belt FIT around his waist.
He was only in good shape for the first 6 months of wrestling or so. He was out of shape in a hurry. He had gained close to 100 pounds by Halloween Havoc 1996. He looked like shit right before he left WCW, too.
He became BIG NASTY, bud.
Reminds me of the forced nickname they'll give Reigns soon.
As someone who doesn't really like FPS games (although flying about and parkour has me interested in this one) and especially not a fan of COD: COD.
As someone who damn near loathes generic console FPS games. Fucking play COD man.
If anything, you're getting some decent half-assed acting out of Kevin Spacey from that, while the other has three middle-aged men fake laughing at shitty WWE comedy.
How is this even a question, really?

Android can stream any app directly to the Chromecast, but its still beta. I've never tried it with WWE, but I guess I will and report back.
EDIT: It might work. The App keeps crashing for me regardless of whether or not I'm casting my Nexus 5's screen to Chromecast, but it only crashes when it tries to play the actual content. The rating doo-doodoo-DOO-doo-doooooooo and the interface casts fine.

This definitely makes a lot of sense. Vince would forgive anyone if he saw money in them. The shit he put up with from Warrior is the first thing that comes to mind. Trips probably still doesn't forgive him, but Vince knew Warrior was money so he didn't give a fuck.
I remember a few interviews with guys saying that would have late night calls with Vince, or something to that extent where he would listen to whatever their problems were. May not have given that treatment to everyone but I can see Trips being more vindictive.

Ok, but why the Disco ball tho?
Well if they were the only 2 choices he could do with his life, it would be the correct choice.
I'll probably be sleeping while it's on, which is also a fantastic choice.

I used to think the Network would stamp out piracy because really, everyone can grab it and get an hd feed, but apparently there's still poors out there that feel $9.99 is too expensive for their pathetic blood.

What percentage of the WWE fanbase you think is still afraid of the interweb? Might seem silly but I think some folk really are afraid to get rid of their cable.

More like 60 dollars for a mediocre product that caters to a crowd too young to have credit cards.
It's not even about that sometimes. It's a matter of pirate principal. Because I can.
Obviously totally disagree with said values.
Heh, I knew someone who was making a lot of money selling hacked Xbox and pirated games. What got him to stop?
Becoming a game developer! That's what it took to convince what he was doing was wrong.

He better keep that secret to the grave...could you imagine how amazing it would be if someone caught Phil Fish selling burned Dreamcast games?
So how were they buying PPVs? Anyway one issues was that the PPV buying pool was simply not big enough and even them some of them are still afraid to cut the cord.
The network is about getting more people.The type of people that didn't ever buy PPVs in the first place.
Do said people have credit cards? Sure..a lot of them do.

Or maybe they just have crappy internet connections to stream live PPV on their tvs?
Though shit like this ain't gonna get you more buys Vince.
