HD isn't widescreen.

Both 4x3 and 16x9 can be made to do HD.
 
USA hasn't officially rolled out "USA HD" yet, so it remains to be seen how this will be handled. USA is a big cable network, so I imagine that most everyone will carry their HD signal eventually. But probably not immediately.

I get USA HD. They added it along with TBS, and of all things HGTV and The Food Network HD. I have a Sci-fi HD in the programming guide, but while all the other HD channels are in the 400's it is off by itself in the 900's along with some duplicate HD channels, though none of them seem to work.
 
The Hardys problem has always been that their voices were "a little bit country" while their look was "a little bit rock and roll". Matt was pretty funny with his Version 1 gimmick though.

GIVE THEM THE OSMONDS AS MANAGERS!!! GENIUS!

I think WWE is afraid of 'billy dialects. Didn't they send Michelle McWhatsername to get dialect training before she came back from her eating disorder "health problems"?

EDIT: Well crapola on USA HD being out already. I don't get it. Bollocks!
 
Hmm, so I guess sites like pwtorrents will start hosting HD and standard versions of each WWE show? I don't have cable tv, so that's my primary means of catching up with Raw these days.

DirecTV has a USA HD channel. Same with Sci Fi. It was added back in October.

Mitt Romney versus Hillary Clinton: Kennel in a Cell!

I wonder how large a torrent of a 2-hour Raw would be at 720p?

I'm guessing around a gig and a half.

Netflix delivered Royal Rumble 93, 94 and 95 to me today.. it's almost like a mini-Christmas!

About 2 gigs would be right. Maybe 2.5 gigs.

USA is a big cable network, so I imagine that most everyone will carry their HD signal eventually.

Hmmm, so apparently HBK has his own submission finisher now. In the past, he would pull out a well-known submission for special occasions (Figure 4, Sharpshooter, even the Crossface recently), so it'll be interesting if they build one up as "his" move. That's cool, I always like when there's more than one way for a wrestler to win a match.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']What is his submission? I didn't see his match last night.[/QUOTE]At first it looks like he's setting up a sharpshooter. Then instead of turning over, he falls back, grabs the leg that's crossed underneath and wrenches up... so it ends up looking like an inverted Figure-4 of sorts.
 
They actually had a Mini-Mankind and Mini-Vader a long time ago. And then later on came the greatest of all minis... Mini-Dust.

lol, I always make it a point to create a Minidust in any wrestling game with a decent CAW system. In Smackdown vs. Raw on PS2, I gave him that weak-ass kick in the nuts for a finisher. It always pissed people off when you beat them with that. His secondary finisher was the Earthquake.

We haven't had one of his type come in this thread in a while, I guess we're long overdue.

[quote name='BustaUppa']lol that'd be pretty funny if he gave himself a new finisher by accident.[/quote]
Well basically it looks like it starts off being a Texas Cloverleaf except that HBK hooks the loose foot under his groin and then wrenches on the other foot (that's caught under the opponent's own knee) resulting in the submission.

Or we can just call it a modified heel hook.
 
Thanks. That looked hella painful the way he applied it and just fell down on it. I agree that he was improvising after incorrectly setting up a sharpshooter/cloverleaf/figure four.
 
If real life was exactly like wrestling, how would you want to die? I think I would strangle my son and kill myself lol. Either that or be in a limo that explodes and then come back and kick some guy trying to take over my company right in the fucking throat.

One was real and the other was an angle.

Also, ban please.

Have no doubt that we are all thinking about ways you could die.
 
I found Hardy's massive swanton on daily motion from last night. I think I'll list that as exhibit A for why he should be champion.
 
It's a fairly big news day today, as TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Kurt Angle will be standing trial for his DUI charges, and former TNA World Tag Team Champion, Pacman Jones, sucker punched a woman at a strip club on 1/3, so there's an arrest warrant out for him, and it might be a parole violation. Also, Raw did a 3.6 last night.

At least he didn't punch anyone in TNA.

Well, the woman he sucker punched is a lawyer, which is much worse than punching a trained wrestler in a worked wrestling match. He's probably totally fucked as a result of this.

Oh, and here's a little TNA-related wackiness by someone else (and me) from the DVDVR board that others have found funny, so I'll see if folks here dig it. The first part is by the other dude, and the second part is my stuff. -
Sorry, but I got this visual in my head this morning and I need to share it. I pictured Tenay and West ordering breakfast at an IHOP.

Tenay: (yelling at waitress) "DID YOU SEE THAT? MY BROADCAST PARTNER DON WEST JUST ORDERED THE ROOTY TOOTY FRESH 'N FRUITY WITH A LARGE GLASS OF MILK!"
Click to expand...

DW: THIS IS THE JUMBOEST GLASS OF MILK EVER, MIKE!
Tenay: TO THE BACK WITH JB IN THE BATHROOM!
JB: HELLO WRESTLING FANS, THIS IS JB - JEREMY BORASH - IN THE MEN'S RESTROOM AT IHOP. KAREN ANGLE!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? Guys, KAREN ANGLE IS IN THE MEN'S BATHROOM! JAMES STORM, ERIC YOUNG, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?
Storm: Drinkin'! GET NEKKID, GIRL!
JB: Well guys, IT'S PANDEMONIUM, BACK TO YOU AT THE BOOTH!

Tenay: WELL DON, IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE IHOP IMPACT, WE HAD A GREAT MEAL...
DW: FOR ONLY $15 AND 55 CENTS!
Tenay: Yes, and we had Karen Angle, James Storm, and Eric Young in a drinking contest...
DW: BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
Tenay - OH MY GOD, JUDAS MESIAS AND FATHER JAMES MITCHEL HAVE ENTERED THE IHOP ZONE!
DW: LOOK AT THOSE DEAD EYES!
Tenay - NO SOUL, NO SOUL!

DW: HERE COMES ABYSS, MIKE!
Tenay - CHRIS IS ENTERING THROUGH THE DOOR, AND HE HAS A BAG!
DW: IS IT THE TACKS, IS THE GLASS!?
Tenay: IT'S... SILVERWARE! ABYSS HAS BROUGHT HIS OWN CUTLERY INTO IHOP!
DW: OH, HE'S SPREADING IT ALL OVER THE TABLE! THIS IS HARD TO WATCH!
Tenay: WAIT, HERE COMES BLACK REIGN! HE'S GOT THE DARKNESS FALLS WEAPON!
DW: HERE COMES RELLIK, THAT'S KILLER SPELLED BACKWARDS!
Tenay - Uh oh...
DW: RELLIK AND BLACK REIGN ARE EATING, AND HERE COMES JUDAS MESIAS!
Tenay: HE'S ORDERED CHERRY COBLER!
DW: OH LOOK AT THAT BLOOD COMING OUT OF HIS MOUTH! HE MUST HAVE CUT HIS MOUTH WITH ABYSS'S CUTLERY!
Tenay: No Don, that's just cherry juice, JUDAS MESIAS IS A SLOPPY EATER!

I read that in their voices, and I could picture it happening.

Did his contract allow him to punch a woman lawyer in a strip club though?

Wait... what the fuck was a woman lawyer doing in strip club?
