t:

I'd love to own a real one, one day, but the prices for them are just... ...

 

[Slushy]

Yeah, they cost way too much and are heavier. My replica belts have been wonderful and added a new dimension when it comes to meeting talent again or legends I haven't met before. I guess you could say its become my calling card so to speak. t:

 

[Van Petrol]

Haha, yeah, everytime I see pictures of a superstar, celebrity or legend with a Winged Eagle, I instantly think 'I bet that's Slushy'. t: I agree, I actually had a few Attitude Era replica belts, but I've since sold them all.

Finally caught up with RAW's main event. Holy ****, that was 20 minutes of pure marking out. I can't see Reigns being anything but main event player, watching him grow as he has the last year. The rate of progress os beyond impressive. Really looking forward to see how his career progresses once the Shield disbands.

Also, Harper and Rollins mouthing off like they did put a huge smile on my face.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

A fantastic match between Bryan Danielson and Chris Hero with a great end to Chris Hero's PWG 400+ day title and Bryan Danielson's final PWG match before he went to WWE.

Is there anyone here that somewhat Enjoy Tully Blancard's promo work more than Flair's during the original 4 Horseman storyline?

Most of them were all good talkers but I enjoyed Tully Blanchard on the mic the most. I think the wrestling world could benefit from having heels as good as Tully Blanchard.

Blanchard was always an underrated talker and Flair? For me, best heel of all time.

Zayn has progressed so much from doing this kind of nonsense, that's one of the things I like to see when indie talents get to WWE,

Definitely, gotta hand it to Lobo as well, I saw very little in him when he was in FCW but he called it, he said he'd be a player in WWE. The level of his ring work has really benefited from being with Rollins and Ambrose to the point where he carries his share of the load now and has the presence and swagger WWE have been craving in a powerhouse since Batista left.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

God, WWE has done an absolutely horrendous job promoting Survivor Series. They would be stupid to not change the Wyatts/Bryan and Punk Tag Team Match and add Bray Wyatt, The Shield, The Usos, and The Rhodes Brothers.

 

[Hunter Rider]

^^^ It's like someone said at a creative meeting "Well, we can't book anything worse than Battleground" and Vince replied "I'll show you! "

Vince sure as hell upstaged himself. Well, probably not as bad as December To Dismember 2006 but still...

 

[The Sage]

Watching Total Divas, they replayed the RAW after Summerslam when Cena passed the microphone to Bryan after saying he beat him in a clean fight. The crowd's reaction was wonderful, the moment was wonderful...

Then several months of nonsensical booking happened.

 

[SpideyFan866]

The way the booking has going recently, and the rumors I've been hearing, I am absolutely terrified of what WMXXX might turn out. Particularly, in regards to the World Heavyweight and WWE title matches.

In a perfect world, we'd be getting a Fatal 4 Way unification with Cena, Bryan, Orton, and Punk.

And as far as the undercard, The "Control of the Company match" would be Triple H and The Wyatts vs. The Shield and Kane, who represent Vince.

Also, we'd have Sandow vs. Dolph Ziggler for the IC title.

And to satisfy Vince's big man fetish, we'd have Brock vs. Ryback vs. Goldberg.

Lobo was talking up Reigns for a long time. I started taking notice of him during his last month before the call up to the main roster, but Lobo was way ahead of me with Reigns.

 

[the dmg]

How many more "miraculous" recoveries can Cena's body take?

WWE is working their top stars to death and they've sabotaged any potential main events who can carry part of the work load in the future.

I've been saying this for years, WWE is way too over-reliant on Cena. When he is gone, they will be ****ing lost. His body is falling apart and I doubt he can take much more. Think about it, he's 36 and these problems are continually popping up, not unlike Rey Mysterio.

It seems Cena will get an injured, and then OMG suddenly his body has gone through a miraculous turnaround and he's back on TV a week later. They are abusing and neglecting their biggest asset and as a result they are not doing enough to showcase other guys. They feel like they can go back to Cena whenever they want.

Case in point with how they acknowledge the WHC wasn't on the same level as the WWE Championship until Cena won it.

Then several months of typical WWE fall season booking happened.

Fixed.

 

[Lobo]

Lobo was talking up Reigns for a long time. I started taking notice of him during his last month before the call up to the main roster, but Lobo was way ahead of me with Reigns.

I just checked my VM's with Hunter, 10-24-11 I sent him a pic and said this is the guy. He had a long way to go but he just naturally had the presence that the Ryback's of the world are supposed to have. he was Leakee back then Obviously he's done well for himself, and working with Ambrose and Rolloins has done wonders. We were the first two on the bandwagon, though

 

[Hunter Rider]

Vince sure as hell upstaged himself. Well, probably not as bad as December To Dismember 2006 but still...

That PPV never had a shot from the jump off though.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Reigns will definitely be a better Batista. Has the right look and presence and is better in the ring. Just fix the mic skills and boom.

 

[Slushy]

I'd be fine with Cena Vs. Sheamus at WrestleMania 30. They never did finish their feud.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

If that happened, I'd gladly give up my WrestleMania 30 ticket.

His mic skills have improved greatly since he was first introduced in the Shield.

 

[SpideyFan866]

In all honesty, I REALLY hope they go through with their initial idea of a Triple Threat featuring Bryan, Punk, and Cena, be it for the WHC, WWEC, or both.

If they don't at least have Cena and Punk in the same match, keeping them apart and out of each others storylines for a year would've been for naught when they could've had some good matches and promos between the two.

 

[Hunter Rider]

The biggest stumbling block in booking Mania is Orton IMO, he is the odd one out when booking what should be the obvious top 3 matches.

In a perfect world, this would be the main event and scenario they go with. This just screams #BUYS #BUYS #BUYS.

Improved, but not enough to be on the level of Ambrose or even Batista to me at least.
