<p>Punk probably isn't qualified to do a damn thing other than wrestle what do you think he's going to do when his contract expires?</p><p> </p><p> Hint: He's going to re-sign.</p>

In a match as long as the Rumble, a bit of variety doesn't hurt, as long as it's not overdone.<p> </p><p> That's the bit that annoys me with the rabid pro-Bryan thing - they're hating on completely the wrong people. Poor Rey got absolutely panned for having the audacity to not be Daniel Bryan. If Bryan had been in the Rumble, people likely wouldn't have even been slightly bothered by El Torito's appearance, but there are some that are acting like he personally stole the slot that would <em>definitely</em> have been D-Bry's had he not been there.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> Rey has been so bad for like 2 years now and would've gotten a bad reaction anyway. Same as Big Show being number 30 last year.</p><p> </p><p> WWE just needs to stop with the extremely anti-climactic number 30s in Royal Rumbles.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="delv213" data-cite="delv213" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25169" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I'm afraid Punk's contract is up in 6 months, he confirmed that to Ariel Helwani in a extremely recent shoot. Remember he signed a 2 year deal the night before MITB 2011. He doesn't know if he's going to resign. Don't think he's working us either, he also added that his hair looks awful and he just doesn't care how he looks anymore. <p> </p><p> The rumored match for WrestleMania30 is Punk vs Triple H. The fact Triple H might go over is very disheartening.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> Can't believe AJ is dating that loser. Life on the road must be super lonely. I'd personally volunteer to save her. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>Wasn't particularly bothered by Bryan not being the Rumble but man was I turned off by Batista winning the thing. </p><p> </p><p> WWE had me to the point of cheering for CM Punk. That's when you know things have gotten bad.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Roman Reigns would have been better and he's not really ready yet. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> The Randy Orton chinlocks on a gassed Botchtista are going to be a joy to watch. Not.</p>

<p>Good call on the women.</p><p> </p><p> You have to consider that most of the women's division is really bad at first.</p><p> </p><p> It takes a good half decade with backgrounds for most to reach the 80s in their skills.</p>

<p>Like Carina Costa...Akemi Satou</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Carina is interesting because she normally becomes world class for me.</p>

I'm noticing many BJJ fighters have no background.

I'm firing this one up as soon as I can. I'm currently playing the Default database in a 9 year game and the bantamweight division is a whopping 30 fights. Ha.

<p>No it isn't. If 5 million people are watching WCW instead of you then it certainly does nothing for your popularity....what is so hard to grasp?</p><p> </p><p> Secondly they aired on the same night, so a lot of the viewers were the same people. </p><p> </p><p> You think it was 10 million completely separate fanbases? Most people flipped back and forth.</p><p> </p><p> Secondly I'm looking at attendance in 98 and pretty sure I see 10-14 k. Biggest ones being in Canada which is normal.</p><p> </p><p> Thirdly there are MUCH more house shows in 2013 than 98...not even close. Of course they are going to do less numbers they go to every craphole in the country weekly.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> If they go to Bakersville California in 98 they did 8k...if they go to Fairfax Virhinia in 20-3 they sell out and do 8k.</p><p> </p><p> There's no difference. They've just redone the model. They no longer do house shows in major venues anymore, if you actually do this thing called research almost every house show is either abroad or in a very small market unlikely to get a television taping.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> In 98 they routinely ran shows in Boston, Ontario, MSG, etc.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> As far as percentages go, with the Internet and the explosion if programming in general, nearly every sport and entertainment industry has stagnated or seen limited growth. The only really hot product right now is pro football. But not having a hot product =/= losing a ton of popularity, and this is supported rather strongly by the live attendance numbers.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.profightdb.com/cards-with-highest-attendance-pg1.html" rel="external nofollow">http://www.profightdb.com/cards-with-highest-attendance-pg1.html</a></p><p> </p><p> So you have Hogan, and the rest are Cena with one in 92 when Austin was a nobody...</p><p> </p><p> Even on page 2 there's still more Cena, and finally one Austin at WM17 when he wasnt even the face if the company anymore, the Rock was.</p>

<p>Why are you combining the three companies?</p><p> </p><p> WCW was on par with WWF and in certain weeks even beat them. TNA's viewers are so insignificant they are almost covered by ECW alone. What you are essentially erroneously doing is taking the WWF's views and doubling it. Compare viewership from WWF to WWE and the viewers aren't much different at all.</p><p> </p><p> What exactly are you talking about? McMahon was never a billionaire, it's called kayfabe.</p><p> The product was worth more because it was hot and thus had more valuable shares but his assets were NEVER worth a billion.</p><p> Secondly where is your evidence to suggest they put more people in seats than anyone in history? Most of the gate and attendance records have been set in the modern era, by that Cena guy.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> You are doing nothing but saying broad generalizations that aren't backed up with any fact whatsoever.</p><p> </p><p> Also on another note Brock hasn't lost much of anything and certainly wasnt carried by Punk</p><p> </p><p> It's just HHH is shot and works the same horrible slop fest that meshes poorly with Brock's work rate. Brock's match with Cena was fine as well, but of course limited considering Cena works the same match against big men every time</p>

<p>I don't agree at all with the downplaying of John Cena.</p><p> </p><p> John Cena is very much an A worker and borderline A+. </p><p> People downplay him because they don't like him because of the differences in style than that of the boom period, but the reality is Cena is every bit as big as Austin. </p><p> </p><p> Austin's crossover career was an utter joke, and he maintains lukewarm reception even today. He really had a peak of about 3 years from 98-2001 then The Rock really became "the man".</p><p> </p><p> The Austin-McMahon fued made Stone Cold, and turned him into an icon, but just because people perceptions of him are favorable due to nostalgia doesn't mean the current stars need to be so absurdly underrated. Every record Austin set in AE has been broken and by wide margins....Cena has been the man for a decade and outsold Austin in Merch and PPVs...hell CM Punk actually holds the single day record for a t-shirt.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> People point to this huge decline in ratings...but it's an utter fallacy given the Neilson ratings have deflated due to increased television ownership. WWE is doing roughly the same amount of viewers it was doing then....and while there can be an assumed lack of growth given more people have TVs, there also has been an explosion in other crap for other people to watch, and the heavy use of the Internet which a lot of people watch the programming on.</p><p> </p><p> Cena has almost every PPV record AND the runnerups, and, although still pretty bad, has had more mainstream/crossover appeal than crappy Austins, who's only real niche was being an Everyman who hated his boss.</p><p> </p><p> Sort of ridiculous how Cena is perceived. He's AT LEAST an A...easily. Right now id only put guys like CM Punk at A-.</p>

Yeah it's working properly now. Thanks guys.

It's moving Adam's games to the chest, it's outright deleting the EXEs for Brian's games.

No. And since it's requiring full re-installs I'm being fairly liberal with the amount of times I actually try it. I've turned File Shield off temporarily to play the games.

Yeah on second glance it was because of an Avast database update 14 minutes ago.

Never had this problem before until a computer crash recently. Any ideas?

Would be nice if someone had this to reupload...
