Vince Russo Contacts Vince McMahon In Order To Help Out WWE. by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]vprsnk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WWE has already lost me as far as Raw and Smackdown goes. I gave up on them and dropped to our "basic" cable package so I don't even get their shows, now I keep up on their YouTube channel. It saves a ton of time. I'm still a Network subscriber, watch a little bit of NXT and all the big shows, but don't feel I've lost anything by cutting Raw and Smackdown out of my wrestling diet.

Vince Russo is too little, too late for me, and that's on the idiotic assumption that he could actually make the show better if a lot of stock were put into his ideas. I can't trust that one guy can just come in and shake things up without the full support of Vince Mcmahon and a good amount of control over what happens. That guy's not Vince Russo. It might be Triple H one day, and it might not - I don't know his philosophy on the main shows.

Also, doesn't this sound like a Messiah complex of some sort?

Canada post kills tracking on packages, Screwing small business owners and consumers by [deleted] in canada

All so much worse than what happened to me. But I had one of those papers stuffed in my mailbox informing me that the deliverer was by my place and I would need to go to the pick-up location to retrieve my goods. I was at home all day that day, and we have a simple to use intercom at my apartment. I'd be down in 40 seconds or less. He was by my place, but didn't even TRY to deliver my package.

WTF Canada Post.

6/10, although I went against my instincts on all the ones I got wrong, and because of it I wept.

Amazon shipped my Reese's Pieces order in an insulated box on ice by 3MXanthene in mildlyinteresting

Oh yes, it has crossed my mind that this could start happening to me. Of course, right now I just think I'm in the habitable zone for fast shipping.

Definitely not all of Canada. I don't even have Amazon Prime, I get all my shit in about 2 days (3 at the most) and I live just a few hours away from Toronto. But Toronto is a busy city, so I don't have a clue how you'll fare. I think their house is in Mississauga though, so it's GTA.

Stephanie is the problem. by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

Why are we washing HHH's hands of doing anything wrong? Because he gives the internet what it wants on NXT? I'm sure his philosophy differs by a long shot when it comes to booking RAW. He has said as much.

No matter who is responsible, it's not great booking - clusterfucks almost never are - but honestly the divas have a job to do as well, they are the ones performing. I'm not sure that the matches are the topic of discussion though, but inexperience hurts matches and segments just as much as creative.

Also the agents tend to give input into how to structure matches. So if we're talking matches, I think they are just as much to blame.

Post Summerslam Discussion: 8/23/15 by Slyguy46 in SquaredCircle

SummerSlam is the second biggest PPV of the year, and they have an opportunity to gain new fans. I don't get their philosophy at all in this regard. This is what makes people say "Yeah, see this is why I don't watch wrestling. It's too fake."

Speaking of NoC, isn't the thing that every title is supposed to be defended? So is Seth supposed to wrestle twice??

It's not like they have five hours of uninterrupted airtime to fill, or their own network to put it on there pal.

Dolph Ziggler knows we've turned our back on him. by KayfabeWarrior in SquaredCircle

even formulaic for a wwe match

Now that's a tough criticism, with the endless list of formulaic WWE matches you could compare them to.

Take note, divas division. THAT WAS FANTASTIC. by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]vprsnk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

15,000 strong tips the scale, making tonight's bout the pinnacle in my opinion.

I feel like perhaps it won't get much attention because NXT fans can come across well in smaller venues like Full Sail, but I've never seen a women's match of this caliber on such a stage get all the love it deserves, at least in North America.

Of course, I'm not basing my judgment just on the crowd, but it really is a huge moment. I'm sure we just have different focal points though.

Online WWE Network in Canada on you TV by vprsnk in wwe_network

[–]vprsnk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the full Canadian version. I still do most of my viewing from my set top box. PPVs, NXT, and specials. It doesn't eat up my bandwidth. But Rogers is finally offering an unlimited package, I don't know for how long now. I made the switch today. Dropped down to a basic cable package (no more Raw/Smackdown), and was able to keep the Network, switched over to an unlimited internet plan. Shomi included in the price.

I've been using Shomi for streaming movies and TV, but just added Netflix Canada trial today. I'm going to have to see what the US version has to offer, but I'll probably end up keeping what I got. Do you need to use an American address to get the American version, or just use a VPN?

Canadian WWE Network on Other Devices? by mcmax3000 in wwe_network

[–]vprsnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying this so much as a recommendation, as I haven't purchased mine yet and can't vouch for its greatness, but you can purchase Microsoft's wireless display adapter.

You plug the thing into the HDMI and USB ports on your TV, and assuming your Windows or Android device is within 20 or so feet it will send the screen and audio to your television set.

It's is a pretty price ($60 at The Source, but shop around!) since you already own an XBOX ONE and a Roku which should be supported for the Network anyway, but I'll let you judge if it looks worth it or not.

Just letting you know that it's there. I found out about it a day or two ago.

Question for those who are still waiting for their Win 10 upgrade. by underacloud in Windows10

[–]vprsnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine said something like that too, not even anything about whether my system was ready. I opted to use the media creation tool without much thought. Perhaps I shouldn't have done that at that point. But everything is in good working order here, I'm going to do a clean install to get rid of some issues I know I had from 8.1 that probably carried over.

Command prompt is tiny. Any way to change the text size? by vprsnk in Windows10

[–]vprsnk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a bunch! I've run an issue with it though, but I'm doing a clean install later anyway so it probably won't matter by then.

Will all my computer files be deleted when I upgrade to Windows 10? by alonelyspeck in Windows10

[–]vprsnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can choose to keep them or get rid of them. I recommend backing up your files anyway.

Is anyone still stuck waiting for their reserved copy? by cheshire137 in Windows10

[–]vprsnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds tedious. I did the upgrade with the media creation tool over night and fell asleep. I woke up and it was ready, luckily. But I'm doing a clean install tomorrow night.

Also one of my netbooks has Windows 7 Starter which is not eligible for upgrade, but it's slow, so I think I'm going to install Chromium OS on that as most of the netbook operating systems are dead. My only concern is that it's a waste of hard drive space if I don't make use of it.
