Hanging above this Wrestling Thread is my absolution!

[Flying-Grayson]

He's raided Buck Rogers closet!



I think they are worried he looks too skinny up top so they want to keep him covered.

Don't think that's an issue. Rollins is shredded, he's got better definition than Reigns. His abs are amazing.

Plus he took off the shirt before wrestling in his new gear on Smackdown. Love the belt design.

I really like his new attire, makes him stand out and him going from Shield gear straight to trunks would be really jarring.

So I'm now hearing Ambrose's new Ring gear will be the jeans and tank top like on Raw...Definitely a smart move if that's the case

 

[Dr. Evil]

Three generations right there.

I find it very interesting that in Hollywood, he's considered as a black actor and yet he wasn't in WWE, although it was not surprising that the WWE did not promote him as a Black Wrestler.

Although the Rock is racially mixed enough to where he could play various races.

Yeah, I like the wife beater look for him. I think he'd eventually look great in traditional wrestling trunks. I consider him in the category of an old school guy like a Flair or Shane Douglas.

Well he's not black enough to play John Stewart according to some.

What we saw on Raw WASN'T Dean Ambrose, but MOTHER****IN' JON MOXLEY.

Awesome new attire for Rollins!

I think they are worried he looks too skinny up top so they want to keep him covered.

The same thought crossed my mind, but he is pretty well built for his size.

Personally I'd say Mania 32 but I wonder if they are planning to buidl to Rollins vs Reigns at Mania 31 for the title, it would be a huge gamble.

Yeah, stretching out to Mania 32 would give him more time to get his individual game and niche together. At the moment he's pretty much all about the hot tag, and that will wear thin eventually.

I've been thinking the same thing too actually, it could pay off, but yeah, it is a huge gamble.

In terms of character I see him in the mould of Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Watching Kobashi's Fortune Dream event.

I'm cool with the new attire for Rollins and Ambrose. In the end, they had to get rid of the riot gear for all but one and Reigns looks the best wearing the gear.

He is ripped for sure, I was thinking more about the overall frame, but in truth he looks like '96 HBK in the last pic.

I have secret for you man.......It's the same guy......

That's exactly it for me, they continue to hide him within matches where he can hit his big moves but doesn't have to actually fill out the body of a match, to me that tells you they know he's not ready yet they are maintaining their course with the over-push.

On the one hand Rollins vs Reigns headlining Mania 31 would be a huge coup for Triple H and the transition towards him taking over, but I can't help but feel it's too soon unless they are doing the tedious Rock/Brock match as well to pad out the buys.

Yeah. HBK in 96 is a good comparison.

Agreed. I wouldn't mind the stretching out of his ascension at all. I'd actually like to see him get a run with a midcard title first before going on to the big one.

News on WWE Logo Changing

Home Video and other merchandise partners have reportedly been issued a memo from WWE in recent weeks stating that the new logo will come into effect on August 18th, 2014.

The current “scratch logo” is said to be phased out from then on, with the new “Network logo” used for all branding and consumer products moving forward. The August 18th date is noteworthy because it is one day after the SummerSlam 2014 pay-per-view event.

We would consider this date and the new logo changeover itself to be subject to change and unconfirmed until an official announcement is made publicly by WWE.

Punk will be on Marc Marons podcast cast tomorrow.

Since we've seen that logo for about 4 years now, I'm used to it now.

I have secret for you man.......It's the same guy......

"Moxley didn't become Moxley. Moxley was born Moxley. When Moxley wakes up in the morning, he's Moxley. His alter ego is Dean Ambrose. What Ambrose wears - the vest, the boots - that's the costume. That's the costume Moxley wears to blend in with us. Dean Ambrose is how Moxley views us."
