The Japan show needs to have Finn Balor, Gallows and Anderson.

When you're nWo, you're nWo...for...LIFE!

I did it before WWE did. t:

OMG! yes! Yes! YES!

I wish they would bring these back to replace that copper crap.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Id love to see them do one shoot with the attitude era wwe title too. But the winged eagle really does look good on everyone. And it is truly amazing how bad the tag titles of today look, especially compared to the old ones.

 

[Wheels]

The Smackdown exclusive brand extension WWE tag titles had the best design.

I think all of the belts in WWE except the US Title and IC Title belts look absolutely horrible. The new Women's belt is a massive improvement over the Divas belt, but it's still atrocious.

At least the spinner belt is long since retired. The Winged Eagle and the Big Gold Belt are both awesome, and way better than the current logo belt.

I think ROH, NJPW, LU, TNA, and even small time Paragon have better belts by far.

Ho Ho Lun is the only one in the Global Cruiserweight Series I don't know about.

And talk about timing for TJ Perkins as TNA released him in January.

This clearly doesn't apply to anyone in this thread.

Do you believe in miracles?

You might after reading the tale of Neil Ellis, an avid fan of professional wrestling who, against all odds, is well-adjusted, emotionally balanced 28-year-old with a steady job and no deep-seated psychological defects!

This one-in-a-million outlier, who has watched wrestling since childhood but somehow turned out completely normal, says he enjoys wrestling as a “fun, over-the-top diversion from daily life.” Amazing, right?

He and his girlfriend of four years — yes, you read that correctly! — often watch wrestling together, as they get a kick out of the bombastic characters and storylines, though they sometimes watch the news or read books on Monday nights instead.

Amazingly, despite his life-long love of wrestling, Ellis has never written a profanity-laden, egregiously misspelled rant in an online wrestling forum attacking fans for cheering wrestlers he personally doesn’t care for.

When millions of wrestling fans worldwide were apoplectic with rage over the success of Roman Reigns, the remarkable Ellis merely shrugged: “It’s just a show,” he said. “Nothing to get all worked up about.”

[TheCommissioner]

my profanity laden rants have EXCEPTIONAL spelling and grammar

 

[runawayboulder]

Both Adam Rose and Konnor have been suspended 60 days for strike 2 of the Wellness Policy.

Rose and The Ascension were both rumored to be on the chopping block for a few weeks now, this could very well speed up their releases.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So the Rock is rumored for a role in the remake of Jumanji.....would he take the Robin Williams role?

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

So the Rock is rumored for a role in the remake of Jumanji.....would he take the Robin Williams role?

He will be playing Kristen Dunst.

 

[runawayboulder]

Another unoriginal Hollywood idea - Let's remake Jumanji.
