  1. You can always connect your router to their modem/router instead of connecting a PC to it. That way, "internet" is accessed by your router instead of a PC and you can then proceed to use that "internet" as you please, including and not limited to connecting other devices to the router via LAN/Wi-Fi. I think they will give you a modem, not a router, and it is fairly common for internet companies to provide a basic router that just has one LAN output and no wi-fi.

  2. ^ It is a very strong possibility, although, I would suggest any person upgrading / purchasing stand point to hold off till the 20nm pieces show up on the market sometime next year.

    That would be too much wait for someone who wants to make a PC this year. I am more interested in a price cut on the current AMD GPUs which would happen near the launch of the new ones.

  3. Am planning to build a rig during Black Friday which is why I've been looking for any info/rumors about new CPU/GPU releases. I can always buy other components like PSU, RAM, motherboard, SSD for cheap during the sales and wait if a new CPU/GPU is releasing in, say, a month(and then buy whichever makes the most sense as even last-gen chips will become cheaper then). The Haswell-E seems not suitable for an average home PC. Waiting for the latest and greatest from AMD then. What about new GPUs?

  4. I have a T-Mobile sim card in USA. Whenever someone from India calls and I disconnect their call without lifting, they hear about leaving a voice message, and they get charged(which is like Rs 6/minute on Indian networks) even if they don't leave a voice message. Is this a common problem and are there any solutions?

    - WWE isn't currently planning on bringing Rey Mysterio back to TV once he's healed up. The Wrestling Observer reports that the company is holding onto him mostly to keep him away from AAA or other promotions, as opposed to actually using him for their own purposes.

     

    As previously reported, the company extended Mysterio's contract due to time he was out due to his injuries. AAA's TripleMania XXII featured a video package from Mysterio where he congratulated the company for twenty-two years in operations and said he would see them soon, ending with the hashtag #FREEREY

    BC WWE holding Rey to avoid him going to AAA.

    It was mentioned in this video that Hogan has been training for one more match, and he wants it against John Cena. :facepalm:

     

    Anyway, it was so great to see Raven again. He talked about Bray Wyatt's similarity with himself, and about the greatness of Paul Heyman.

    - Brian Fritz of The Orlando Sentinel recently spoke with Sting to promote WWE 2K15 and more. Below are some highlights:

     

    One more match for WWE

    "I do believe I have enough left in my tank for one more match and I would love for that match to be against Undertaker. If that can’t happen, Triple H, I think. I just would like to have one more match. I would love to say I had one match under the WWE banner and, of course, WrestleMania. Who wouldn’t want to say that they wrestled at WrestleMania at least one time."

     

    The reaction to working with WWE so far:

    "I’ve been blown away at the reaction. From the corporate part of the company, I was up in WWE offices recently and spoke with Vince and Triple H and everyone up there. I met every department under the sun and everybody is excited so that affects me. When I see that they’re excited, it makes me excited too all the more. And then the WWE fans, they’ve been gracious. They’re really, really good, really pumped up."

     

    Would he work as a WWE Ambassador?

    "Yeah, I’m open to that, definitely. I’m open to whatever doors may or may not open. I love the business so yeah, I can see myself being an ambassador."

    - Brian Fritz of The Orlando Sentinel recently spoke with Hulk Hogan. Below are some highlights:

     

    Hitting rock bottom a few years back:

    "I bottomed out.I can’t blame anybody because I was accountable and made choices. Sometimes even when you figure it out and the spinning wheel stops, some of that residual karma keeps coming at you. Even when the pendulum swings back you get hit with some stuff. And I bottomed out.”

     

    “Everything just happened at once. And I don’t want to blame anybody but I was ina relationship where I hate the world, I hate the sun, I hate the neighbors, the world is horrible. I was in that energy field and I didn’t know really how to get out of it. Then all of a sudden when the marriage ended and my son got into some trouble and my body shut down I bottomed out. And I was actually going down the wrong road and I was doing some crazy stuff that, thank God I’m still here, and I met Jennifer. She basically made me realize man, people are nice and it’s not what you’ve been taught or inherited from all these crazy situations. Peace, love joy. She kind of like put me on track. Whatever I did to cause this turbulence I forgive myself and people are nice. She made me understand how cool everything really is. I had to hit rock bottom to wake up and that’s where I’m at right now.”

     

    Wanting a bigger role with WWE:

    “I think they want to keep mystique and keep me more valuable than me standing there with the microphone and saying the same crap every week and it basically meaning nothing. I think they’ve got a plan and that’s what I’m praying for.”

     

    His matches in TNA:

    “The thing is, I watch the old tapes of myself, WCW, and it’s embarrassing because towards the end I was getting to where it was embarrassing to kind of like be in there and then I watch the TNA (Wrestling) stuff and that was a nightmare. I tried to get in there. I was in the middle of the back surgeries trying to keep up.The doctors would say ‘you’ll be fine’ but to watch it now is embarrassing. Not that Vince would want this, not that Triple H would want this but I keep telling everybody that my goal, because I’m not in pain anymore, that my goal would be to get back in there, not embarrass myself if that’s possible and have that one more match. And if that works, if that really were to work I would love to contribute and participate and do some stuff because I miss it so much.”

     

    “For me, it’s like dying seven deaths because everything went crazy between my personal life and all that craziness with my ex-wife and my son going to jail and all the back surgeries I had. It felt like it was taken away in a minute. And I didn’t realize how long a period of time for all that stuff to go down. I’d love to be part of it again.”

    Hogan still wants to have one more match, as if he has not embarrassed himself enough in recent years. :rofl:

    It is not just about the talent of the superstars available. You also have too see the superstar who actually sells. There is hardly anyone available now that can sell ppvs or get ratings for them. So splitting the brand won't sense from business point of view.

    Well it's the responsibility of creative to make their wrestlers be "sellable" through giving them good gimmicks. Whenever I watch any WWE, I see a lot of generic wrestlers who could have been given better personality. WWE is now too scripted to the point that most wrestlers have to say exactly what is given in their script by the creative, which often hampers growth of lower-tier wrestlers who are neglected by them and not given good gimmicks.

  9. Well, they used to have 3 brands till newECW died. Where did all the roster really go? :loco:

    I think it's more a matter of laziness on the part of the writers. I think there are many generic wrestlers on the roster many of whom could help carry 2 brands if given proper gimmicks.

    Kurt Angle was recently a guest on 105.9 The Xin Pittsburgh and spoke about his contract status with TNA, recovery from ACL surgery, possibly making the jump back to WWE and more. Here are the highlights:

    On ACL Surgery and recovery:

    I’m actually doing really well. I’m far ahead of schedule but I still have a few months before I get back i the ring.

    Having the time off:

    I didn’t take any time off in almost fifteen years so it felt really good. I needed the rest. That was part of the reason why I even had the ACL surgery. It was a partial tear but I would’ve had it eventually but I figured this would give me some rest time while I have it repaired before it gets worse.

    Going to WWE when his contract expires:

    I’m still in the process. My contract’s up September 21st. I will say this TNA has been really loyal to me and there is an obligation there but at the same time have to do what’s best for me. I haven’t quite decided yet. It wouldn’t be a surprise either way it’s just I’m going to have to bear down right now and by the end of September I’ll have my decision.

    The door being open in WWE:

    I think it’s always an open door. It’s really about what you can give. What they want from you and what you want from them. At the end of the day you have to agree on all terms. So it really comes down to how much they want to use me and how much I want to be used.

    Could his body work a full time WWE schedule:

    No not at all. I wouldn’t expect it to. You know 15 years of hard pro wrestling and I went a lot of full time in TNA until the last two and a half years. I would hope they wouldn’t expect me to do it. I know TNA does not expect me to do that either. So where ever I end up it’s going to be part time.

    Will TNA leave Spike TV:

    It all depends. right now the deal is not done. It all depends on how much TNA wants and how much Spike Wants to pay them. I don’t think it’s ever been an issue that Spike no longer wanted TNA. I think TNA is probably asking for more money and Spike wants to give them what they did before. I believe it has a lot to do with the agency that TNA signed with, UTA. They’re showing that TNA has value and that they are worth more. Other networks have been considered so I think TNA would like to stay on Spike it’s just a matter of where they can meet in the middle to make it happen.
