Finally figured out WWE.com's image display - Captions Return?

Okay, the main reason that we don't do captions is because it's a pain in the ass to pull the images from WWE.com (and we need to re-host them). As long as WWE.com doesn't change this part of the script (which I doubt they will), this will always work.

The images are actually background images to prevent copying. I snooped through their java files and found this. Right clicking and choosing "view background image" (at least in Firefox) shows the image. I found an extension for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1853/ . This saves background images.

Also, looking through the archives, I don't think they'll be changing URLs. If they do and we use the WWE.com hosted ones we're fucked, which is why I propose this question.

Shall we bring back captions? I would be willing to at least handle part of it. I can't do it all myself, but if someone helps me, I think we can pull it off.

So which is it?

(Boy will my face be red if this was already figured out.)
