I have a request:

Does anybody have an MP3 or WAV of a wrestling ring bell for the start of a match? Preferably one slow one for a pre-michael-buffer, pay-attention type thing and one quicker one to signify the start of the match?

My wife and I eloped last year and our families and friends got a little miffed so we're having our actual wedding on our anniversary this friday and the whole thing is old-school fight card themed. Like, this is our invitation:



We have ring introductions and theme music and everything, but I can't find the sounds I need for the bells. Thanks in advance.

There's a couple here listed as boxing bells. Your best bet would probably be to take the single bell and loop it to fit your needs: http://www.wavsource.com/sfx/sfx.htm

edit: actually, this might be better: http://www.soundsnap.com/tags/boxing

That flyer is so geeky and markish that it plants itself firmly in the "awesome" category" without having to go back around.

Congrats on your one-year anniversary, LL!

Ask me about moons
Fact #1 The Moon is really cool
So I've been wondering about this lately given the fact there are two major injuries (Rey and Ziggler) on Raw right now and one person who shouldn't probably be back yet (Morrisson). What is the WWE's policy on injury pay? Do wrestlers get a slight cut in paycheck while they're out to heal up but at least get something to keep them afloat on? Or is it just a "welp enjoy not having a pay check till you're back!" I can't imagine it's the latter but I'm really curious on this.

Cena is the definition of "only as good as his opponent" and his HBK stuff in particular is over-rated in the extreme. As far as Punk goes, Punk is the only one who did anything to build up that match and when they basically run an ROH-style match on a WWE PPV, wherein Punk is doing most of the legwork, well, there's not too many different possibilities as to who is really responsible for that one.

Everyone in WWE has a downside guarantee, so injured people will make less money than they would while active - sometimes considerably so - but they'll still make money. Also keep in mind big merch movers still get their normal cut when out.

Do we know how the merch residuals work for suspensions? Because that could either soften the blow for, or make it sting badly for someone like Sin Cara.

This is true.

If a band had four high-quality singles, they'd be considered a good band wouldn't they? Cena doesn't suck. As far as guys who have held top titles in national promotions go, Cena is nowhere near the worst.

It's always been able to spin. Hell, Miz spun it around to make the W a M.

This. They just lock it unless they want it to spin, but it can still spin.

Okay can we agree that it still has the ability to spin but also has some kind of locking mechanism somewhere? Maybe you have to, like, push it in or something, which is also how you access the Allspark hidden inside.

I'm pretty sure it stopped spinning when Cena got injured in September 2007 and they had that PPV with the HHH/Orton, HHH/Umaga, and HHH/Orton title matches.

Iirc the Miz's M faceplate never spun either.

Man, people got stupid defensive on this. I'm not saying Cena is the second coming of Tom Magee or Warrior but he drat sure isn't HBK or Jack Brisco. He's a decent worker at best but as a rule he needs a great partner in order to have great matches.

I dunno, it sounds kinda ugly. Maybe the pitch should find a happy medium. That sounds like a church bell because of the resonance. Maybe up a bit. That's my take on it.
