Professional wrestling thread

Damn, is Hogan willfully holding the advancement of pro wrestling hostage? He and Flair should have a Loser Goes on Social Security match.

 

I'd pay to see that!

 

Didn't Hogan and Roddy Piper already wrestle that match in a cage back in WCW?

 

OK fellas, I promised some of you I'd have a web site where you can download tons and tons of wrestling footage, both old and new. I visit two sites: special.pwtorrents.net and xtremewrestlingtorrents.net.

The first one (special.pwtorrents.net) is the best one, but unfortunately, signups are currently closed. They usually open it up once every few months as people are kicked out for rules violations or leeching, etc., etc.

If you're new to the whole torrent scene, I'd recommend signing up for xtremewrestlingtorrents.net ... the people who run it are much less militant. LOL
Also, I believe the signups are always open.
Before you can download anything, though, you need to download another program that helps with torrent files. I use UTorrent (can be found at utorrent.com) It doesn't take up much space at all and is really user friendly.

All most of these boards ask is that once your download is complete, you leave the program running (UTorrent) so other people who are still downloading can download from you. They prefer that your ratio is 1 to 1 (whatever you download, you upload the same amount). It's not difficult at all. Like I said, all you have to do is leave UTorrent (or you can download Azureus, which is a little more complicated but a lot of people use it) running on yer computer and you'll be seeding other people, which is a good thing.

xtremewrestlingtorrents.net and signups.pwtorrents.net are great sites. If I miss SmackDown, Raw or ECW, I can download the program from these sites and watch them, commercial free, on my laptop. People also post old PPVs from all the organizations. They'll post single classic matches. DVD releases are usually up on the sites within days of being released, so you can download and watch them for free. I've been burning DVDs like crazy for the past couple of months.

If you have ANY questions, feel free to ask.

 

Thanks GS, I'll check it out this weekend.

 

Please don't miss Stone Cold Steve Austin's. It's the greatest ring intro of all-time.

Some other favorites:

* The old Midnight Express theme (1980s tag team in NWA-WCW). It's by Giorgia Moroder and can be found on LimeWire.

* Rey Misterio

* Carlito's is cool (pun intended)

Also, Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" was the into for The Road Warriors. ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" was "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin's, and Rush's "Tom Sawyer" was Kerry Von Erich's.

 

Doesn't WWE (actually it was WWF) have a 2-CD set of all theme songs? I seem to remember that. Should check it out, might be long enough for an hour-long workout.

 

Yup. WWF(E) The Music, Vol. Whatever. I don't think they've released one for a few years, but I may be wrong on that.

It may not be a great song to work out to, but I have Undertaker's song on my MP3 player. I get chills every time I listen to it, but I love the classic entrance music.

 

Do they have old episodes of Monday NITRO?

 

No need. There's great stuff on the indy circuit--ROH and PWG are at the top of the list. And, as I've said multiple times, and no I'm not involved with them financially, the old UWF and Mid-South shows are available on DVD and are great fun. Tony Atlas doing dropkicks and flying headscissors?!?

 

Yes, there's ALWAYS old episodes of Nitro, Raw, original ECW, etc., etc. It's fun to go back and check out the old stuff, especially when today's TV is so boring.

 

I heard Angle saying something about going to UFC. Any truth to this?
