On network launch day, I suppose I will randomly select many different old WCW PPV's to check out their quality, but since I've generally seen them all, might not watch any one all of the way through.

Elimination Chamber? Assuming it's available, nothing like watching a PPV for free the day after it airs. Otherwise, I'll dive into ECW! Elimination chamber. I might be okay if the network takes over my life. If all future programming sucks, I can just relive the better days of past decades. Extreme Rules Extreme Rules 2012 First ECW episode First ever wwf ppv First PPV offered Flair vs Steamboat Flair/Steamboat WrestleWar 89...Flair regains title/Terry Funk attacks!

Great AmericanBash 89 Halloween Havoc 1990 Halloween Havoc 1993 Halloween havoc 98 Halloween Havok 1992 Halloween Havok 98 Hart & Austin WM 13 have no idea Have nothing particular in mind. Have to list list of PPV available Have to wait until the network comes to canada. Haven't decided yet. Too much to take in. Haven't decided, something mid-90's haven't given it any thought Havent made up my mind I am sure I will be up all night watching stuff for weeks Havrn't quite decided might watch some of the early ECW PPVs first or maybe I'll look back for your 5 start match ratings and go watch those ..... Hilarious crap from the WCW Russo era. Hopefully old coliseum compilation tapes I don't know. i dont care about the old stuff because i have most of the stuff i want thats circulated on the internet such as episodes of prime time and the territory stuff. raw and attitude era stuff i already have. same w the old ppvs. im going to sign up for the trial and see how it is before i decide to pay. i want more round table shows like they had on classics on demand. that show RULES. I dunno. I gave up on WWE from around 2003 until 2008 so I plan to watch some of that era's programming. I guess maybe some of the matches from the Elimination Chamber PPV. I have a short list: WrestleVision: The Wrestling Classic (haven't seen it since I was a kid watching on Coliseum Video) WrestleMania IV Tuesday In Texas King of the Ring 1993 I have no idea! I hope they have old ECW tv aswell, i would love to catch up since back in the day i only got to see little of it. I want to watch all the wrestlemanias in order. but first I will just randomly pick something. looking at either summerslam 98, no mercy 2002 or spring stampede 99 I will be looking for 1980s house show matches from Boston, MSG, and Philadelphia. Also would like to watch Mania VI and X. I will watch Bash at the beach 1996 on the network first. I'd tell you if I could even subscribe but it won't take my credit card info - their website is broken. I'll probably pick something at random. I'll search for Legends of Wrestling Rountable...if that's not on there, I'll do a classic like Great American Bash '89. I'll start at the oldest WCW PPVs they have and watch what strikes me first. I'm getting this because it's a great deal to get all of the current PPV's including WM. I would like to relive the Monday Night Wars, as well as rewatch promotions from my childhood and see all of the old angles unfold over many weeks like World Class, Mid South, NWA Crocket, and ECW from my adulthood, etc. While everything seems cool now, I have a strong feeling it will get old fast. Also, as someone who never missed an episode of any wrestling show ever (though I did give up on Thunder, AWF, TNA, and all 3rd tier WWE shows), I have not watched Smackdown in years, and don't think I'll have time to watch that much wrestling. Also, I doubt they'll spend a lot of original programming to make it worth watching. As long as they keep the current product PPV's strong and worth watching, I'll keep the network. if ppv's become just a way to hype Monday night, I'll likely cancel. I'm leaning towards Starrcade '83! Perhaps ECW One Night Stand in 2005, though. I'm only really interested in live content If available, will look up old Raw's from around summer of 97 If they have any episode of Prime Time Wrestling up I will watch that first.

  • The Universe of the Wwe!
    At first glance, this world seems quite similar to yours. Tech's at a pretty normal level (for humanity, anyway) and you're beginning to question whether or not you ended up back home. Next thing you know, you're getting a tap on your shoulder. Holy shit, that's Vince McMahon, with a contract for you to sign! Which means that this must be… THE UNIVERSE OF THE WWE! That's right- You're going into a realm where every bit of fluff, every backstory, every cheesy legend has been brought to an equally cheesy life. No scripts here- everything is real. The grudges, the personalities- all of it is 100% unfaked. Even the world outside of wrestling is very similar to what you'd find in the ring, similar to what you'd expect to find in an '80s action movie. You're going to get in the ring with some of wrestling's greatest legends- But will you be getting in the ring with Hulk Hogan or the rock? Or maybe you'll be standing toe to toe with Roman Reigns? Or maybe you mean to go back to the early 60s, back when it was still the National Wrestling Alliance, and help Vince McMahon sr. create the WWE? Let's find out. Roll 1d4 to find out what year you start in, or pay 100 CP to choose freely. 1: 1960: The beginning of the WWE. In 3 years, Buddy Rogers will lose the title of the National Wrestling Alliance in a bad match, and in protest, Vince McMahon Sr.

  • The Vulnerabilities of Developed States to Economic Cyber Warfare
    Working Paper The Vulnerabilities of Developed States to Economic Cyber Warfare Paul Cornish Head, International Security Programme and Carrington Professor of International Security, Chatham House June 2011 The views expressed in this document are the sole responsibility of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of Chatham House, its staff, associates or Council. Chatham House is independent and owes no allegiance to any government or to any political body. It does not take institutional positions on policy issues. This document is issued on the understanding that if any extract is used, the author and Chatham House should be credited, preferably with the date of the publication. Working Paper: The Vulnerabilities of Developed States to Economic Cyber Warfare INTRODUCTION The central features of the ‘cybered’ world of the early 21st century are the interconnectedness of global communications, information and economic infrastructures and the dependence upon those infrastructures in order to govern, to do business or simply to live. There are a number of observations to be made of this world. First, it is still evolving. Economically developed societies are becoming ever more closely connected within themselves and with other, technologically advanced societies, and all are becoming increasingly dependent upon the rapid and reliable transmission of ideas, information and data. Second, where interconnectedness and dependency are not managed and mitigated by some form of security procedure, reversionary mode or redundancy system, then the result can only be a complex and vitally important communications system which is nevertheless vulnerable to information theft, financial electronic crime, malicious attack or infrastructure breakdown.

Coleman Columbia University Executive Summary The current state of theory, research, and practice on protracted, intractable conflict is robust but limited; although much progress has been made, our understanding is bounded by discipline, culture, role-in-conflict (expert versus disputant), and social class. This pilot project, funded through a mini-grant from the Intractable Conflict Knowledge Base (ICKB), elicited alternative ways-of-knowing and engaging with the phenomenon of intractable social conflict that are typically excluded from the dominant discourse in this area. A professionally and culturally diverse group of scholar- practitioners were identified through the ICKB network as potential participants, and nine (9) pilot interviews were conducted for this study.

  • Key Scriptures: Revelation 19:1-21 Ezekiel 38 & 39 Joel 2:1-11
    God's Master Plan In Prophecy Lesson 13 – The Battle of Armageddon & 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ Key Scriptures: Revelation 19:1-21 Ezekiel 38 & 39 Joel 2:1-11 Zechariah 12-14 Introduction Rev 19:1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; While the Wrath of God is being poured out, there was the voice of "a great multitude in heaven" praising God! This is the redeemed church which has missed the Wrath of God and was taken out of Great Tribulation. While the earth is experiencing the judgment of God without mercy, we are experiencing His goodness without judgment! Rev 19:2-3 BECAUSE HIS JUDGMENTS ARE TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and HE HAS AVENGED THE BLOOD OF HIS BOND-SERVANTS ON HER." 3 And a second time they said, "Hallelujah! HER SMOKE RISES UP FOREVER AND EVER." From what is being said in these verse, it is obvious that the church will be fully aware of what is happening upon the earth during this time, yet because we are no longer viewing earth's events through the eyes of mortal flesh, we will understand that God is righteous and true in His judgments. To modern minds it may seem strange to worship and say, “hallelujah” over the fact that God is pouring out judgment, but that is because we see imperfectly now.

  • Leverage and Asset Bubbles: Averting Armageddon with Chapter 11?*
    The Economic Journal, 120 (May), 500–518. doi: 10.1111/j.1468-0297.2010.02357.x. Ó The Author(s). Journal compilation Ó Royal Economic Society 2010. Published by Blackwell Publishing, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, USA. LEVERAGE AND ASSET BUBBLES: AVERTING ARMAGEDDON WITH CHAPTER 11?* Marcus Miller and Joseph Stiglitz An iconic model with high leverage and overvalued collateral assets is used to illustrate the ampli- fication mechanism driving asset prices to ÔovershootÕ equilibrium when an asset bubble bursts – threatening widespread insolvency and what Richard Koo calls a Ôbalance sheet recessionÕ. Besides interest rates cuts, asset purchases and capital restructuring are key to crisis resolution. The usual bankruptcy procedures for doing this fail to internalise the price effects of asset Ôfire-salesÕ to pay down debts, however. We discuss how official intervention in the form of ÔsuperÕ Chapter 11 actions can help prevent asset price correction causing widespread economic disruption. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Hamlet From 2007 to 2009 a chain of events, beginning with unexpected losses in the US sub-prime mortgage market, was destined to bring the global financial system close to collapse and to drag the world economy into recession. ÔOne of the key challenges posed by this crisisÕ, says Williamson (2009), Ôis to understand how such major consequences can flow from such a seemingly minor eventÕ. Before describing an amplification mechanism involving overpriced assets and excessive leverage, we begin by looking, albeit briefly, at what the current macroeconomic paradigm may have to say.

  • The Rapture in Twenty Centuries of Biblical Interpretation
    TMSJ 13/2 (Fall 2002) 149-171 THE RAPTURE IN TWENTY CENTURIES OF BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION James F. Stitzinger Associate Professor of Historical Theology The coming of God’s Messiah deserves closer attention than it has often received. The future coming of the Messiah, called the “rapture,” is imminent, literal and visible, for all church saints, before the hour of testing, premillennial, and, based on a literal hermeneutic, distinguishes between Israel and the church. The early church fathers’ views advocated a sort of imminent intra- or post- tribulationism in connection with their premillennial teaching. With a few exceptions, the Medieval church writers said little about a future millennium and a future rapture. Reformation leaders had little to say about prophetic portions of Scripture, but did comment on the imminency of Christ’s return. The modern period of church history saw a return to the early church’s premillennial teaching and a pretribulational rapture in the writings of Gill and Edwards, and more particularly in the works of J. N. Darby. After Darby, pretribulationism spread rapidly in both Great Britain and the United States. A resurgence of posttribulationism came after 1952, accompanied by strong opposition to pretribulationism, but a renewed support of pretribulationism has arisen in the recent past. Five premillennial views of the rapture include two major views—pretribulationism and posttribulation-ism—and three minor views—partial, midtribulational, and pre-wrath rapturism. * * * * * Introduction The central theme of the Bible is the coming of God’s Messiah. Genesis 3:15 reveals the first promise of Christ’s coming when it records, “He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.”1 Revelation 22:20 unveils the last promise when it records “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly,’ Amen.

  • From Voodoo to Viruses: the Evolution of the Zombie in Twentieth Century Popular Culture
    From Voodoo to Viruses: The Evolution of the Zombie in Twentieth Century Popular Culture By Margaret Twohy Adviser: Dr. Bernice Murphy A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the Degree of Master’s of Philosophy in Popular Literature Trinity College Dublin Dublin, Ireland October 2008 2 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to explore the evolutionary path the zombie has followed in 20th Century popular culture. Additionally, this thesis will examine the defining characteristics of the zombie as they have changed through its history. Over the course of the last century and edging into the 21st Century, the zombie has grown in popularity in film, videogames, and more recently in novels. The zombie genre has become a self-inspiring force in pop culture media today. Films inspired a number of videogames, which in turn, supplied the film industry with a resurgence of inspirations and ideas. Combined, these media have brought the zombie to a position of greater prominence in popular literature. Additionally, within the growing zombie culture today there is an over-arcing viral theme associated with the zombie. In many films, games, and novels there is a viral cause for a zombie outbreak. Meanwhile, the growing popularity of zombies and its widening reach throughout popular culture makes the genre somewhat viral-like as well. Filmmakers, authors and game designers are all gathering ideas from one another causing the some amount of self- cannibalisation within the genre. 3 Table of Contents Introduction 4 Chapter One 7 Evolution of the Dead Chapter Two 21 Contaminants, Viruses, and Possessions—Oh my!
