Damned if the WWE is going to stop posting photos... so hey, I'll take it upon myself to do so... Maineline prob is I'm gonna need a little bit of help.
My little sister records Raw and SmackDown every week. She's a huge fan <i>*cough<b>mark</b>cough*</i> who can't stay up late enough to watch all of it. I need to McGyver up a way to convert the VHS footage to some from on my comp to a pic. I have a crappy web cam, a decent digital camera, and a scanner. Now, people throw ideas out at Always450.

Play the tape, pause it at a part you think would make a good caption (or entirely at random), and take the picture with your digital camera. The picture won't be as good of a quality as the stuff we're used to, but fuzzy captions are better than no captions at all, right?

I was actualy about to make a thread like this. I wonder if WWE has decided to stop making photos.

I have the converter to play tv images on your comp... What you need is the S/PDIF digital audio connector/composite video connector and the s video connector. I need to get the S video connector again. Next time i Go to radio shack or something ill pick it up and post captions.

Our troops like captions! When my bro's home (he's airforce, currently overseas) he spends a good ammount of time looking at the captions ever since he saw me work on them.

Yeah, I entertain veterans at the local old folks home by printing out the captions full size, and acting them out.

You shoulda heard the reaction to the "Wailing like a banshee" one. :D

I seriously had my sister convinced that Sean O'Haire lives in a cage above the ring, which makes me wonder if she's just slow for a 15 year old, or just had an undying trust in her older brother :D

You could always buy a TV tuner for your computer. I got one at OfficeMax (or Staples. One of those office superstores) that just plugs into my USB port. I just run the coax cable into one end of it, plug it into my computer, and I can record TV onto my hard-drive. I can also freeze-frame, too.

Of course, the computer that I have that running to doesn't have Internet, so I can't upload the pics myself. :(

Well this is quite a disappointment since the reason that I started visiting tpww as a guest was mainly to look at all of the captions. Now I finally get a chance to do some after signing up, and they don't have any the past few weeks! I hope this was just a rare occurrence and captions will come back soon!
