- WWE is listed as one of 354 major companies that support the Stop Online Piracy Act, better known as SOPA.

 

- Vince McMahon reportedly purchased three new Ferraris in the past week.

 

Not surprised at all.

Joey Styles posted this on twitter about WWE supporting SOPA:

 

Why the hell are WWE supporting SOPA?" Why wouldn't we want to stop online piracy of our PPVs and home videos?

 

EDIT: didnt see Shawns post before posting this lol

Styles should realise that online piracy is the only way in 5 years time that anyone will remember who he is.

The ignorance people demonstrate when using a phrase like "Why wouldn't we want to stop online piracy of our PPVs and home videos?" is amazing.....you cannot now, nor will you ever be able to stop piracy. It's just not going to happen. People will just go back to the older methods, and yes, this will see a reduction in the ease of your average person getting stuff, but it won't stop anyone who has half a clue.

 

Online piracy is actually good because it means we download stuff for free, instead of paying a dodgy individual one tenth of the asking price, money which is then used for who knows what nefarious purpose (but really, most likely paying his rent..).

 

I know this kinda bullshit thought police crap doesn't work because I lived in a country that was way, way more draconian than the US can hope to be. To the point where porn was illegal and men's magazines were filled with the equivalent of Page3 girls, only with stars over their nipples. Owning porn was an offense that could see you spend three years in jail per item... and yet pretty much all of my friends parents had at least one porno, not a single one was a legit copy, they were all pirated, sold on the blackmarket and the money was used to fund the "struggle".... the very same struggle which was then the cause of those peoples children being sent off to get killed because of mandatory military service. That's also the first and only time I've ever actually seen any kind of link between piracy and "terrorism"... or, as I saw it, the 60 million disenfranchised people trying to have a voice..

Another one bites the dust...

 

Ted DiBiase may have been injured at last night's WWE Supershow in Winnipeg. During a match against Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes, DiBiase appeared to have injured his arm. The referee threw up the dreaded "X" sign and DiBiase had to be helped to the back.

Do you think the DiBiase posse took him to a local medical facility?

[Guest Jamster26]

Well, this is different.

Has the guy completely lost it? He is not into some gothic-go-as-you-like for f*ck's sake.

[Guest Magic]

He's a recovering meth addict. Do you honestly expect anything less? If his brain wasn't already addled from bumps, drugs aren't going to do much good are they?

 

At least he's drug free (as far as I'm aware).

[Guest Phil]

I think that looks pretty cool.

[The Fury 65]

anyone remember this?

He's not going out into public like that, he's doing it because it's his goddamn character to paint his face like that.

[Guest Magic]

I didn't say he was going out in public. And it's not really his character, it's Jeff Hardy being Jeff Hardy and doing whatever he wants because he knows full well TNA wouldn't dare try and stop him.

 

I hardly believe the people at TNA creative (as dim as they are) decided to tell him to do that.

[dsrchris 190]

He was painting his face all crazy before he left WWE though. Which led to this:

[Guest Magic]

I'd still think it would be his own input rather than someone coming up with that for him, which was my point.

Who pooped in your hat, Spears?

How is Jeff Hardy painting his face news in 2012? He's been doing it on every single show for years, and everybody is indignant all of a sudden? Because its blue? Edited January 26, 2012 by Jimmy Redman
