Miz looked legit terrified when he saw his dad interviewing people on the red carpet

 

[Bluekaveli]

Na, it was more like "Many Men"

I brought the real heat, brother

Brother.... You're a markster!

 

[half a moon]

Horrible song. Worse than the milkshake song

Lyrics to a song that says pussy.

 

[Pikma]

Why

Ok window shopper.


Lol @ us bringing up 50 music

 

[Beefy]

I hope Mauro can find a cool gig somewhere else. Because fuck JBL and fuck WWE.

Yep! Mauro needs to think of his own health.

 

[Brian_FETO]

At first I thought "why is James Hetfield in a wrestling ring Mania weekend?"

The reality was more confusing

Here's the video of the Regal announcement

https://youtu.be/FN9LLuJXgrg

notice how he paused when he said "new NXT...titles". he wanted to say belts but then remembered that ridiculous memo with the banned terms

 

[Hex]

He was praying...

 

[Ithil]

Wonder how long they've had that in the works. Couldn't be solely because of the Paige thing right?

They take months to design and make these belts. Assuming they're not pallete swaps of the WWE title then they've probably been in the works since some time last year.

Wait "belt" is banned?

...What???

 

[slightconfuse]

What?

[Sweeney Tom]

Wait "belt" is banned?

...What???

"Belts" only hold up pants, saying otherwise makes the beloved entertainment look dumb apparently

 

[Bluekaveli]

"no shots"

 

[half a moon]

"the belt represents something." Oops.

 

[serenewarfare]

I would take nothing on that page as gospel. It's from 2008. A lot has changed since then.

But yeah, it's well known Vince doesn't like the term "belt". He thinks it makes the title seem like an ordinary object instead of a "championship"

I know, but Goldberg confirmed in a recent interview that "belt" is not to be used

That was actually the first thing that came to mind when they announced new designs. Black and Yellow class ring belt. Yellow and white class ring belt for the women. And Yellow Penny belts.

I love wrasslin you guys.
Let's cry and embrace

How insane is Vince?

check your email for a free 3 months

nope. i had signed up before back for WM31. don't think i can get another free trial.

 

[Ithil]

Them always having to say "WWE Universal Championship" or "WWE World Heavyweight Championship" every time they're mentioned is painfully robotic, no human talks like that.

 

[FlammableD]

Havok looks like she's lost a good bit since I saw her last. Probably good

EDIT: checked her instagram, yeah, she's lost a lot, good for her

 

[Bluekaveli]

They're trying to get you back brother

 

[serenewarfare]

Thinking about the women's tournament, this is what I can come up with so far in terms of a possible lineup not using people who are currently on WWE/NXT TV and also not signed exclusively elsewhere:

Santana Garrett
Candice LeRae
Evie
Nixon Newell
Dahlia Black (assuming she recovers in time)
Toni Storm
Shayna Baszler (I don't like her, but there's no way she's not in it given her connection to Rousey)
Mia Yim
Kairi Hojo
Io Shirai (assuming she doesn't stay with Stardom)

I think there's enough talent out there to have a pretty good tournament.

 

[Ecliptor]

What year is this pic from?

Lol at Tony Chimmel showing up to introduce edge

Ambrose is that dude!

Remember when they kept on saying "I beat you at WWE Rockblock end of the line" WWE verbiage is super dumb.

 

[Bluekaveli]

lol wrasslin the new simpsons?

After over 3 years 😔😔

 

[serenewarfare]

I hate how they have to preface every PPV name with "WWE". Like "In our match at WWE Elimination Chamber". Like guys, we know it's a WWE event you are talking about. That part is implied.

WOR: Meltzer on Reigns vs Taker - "There is obviously a reason that it's going on last... if Roman does win they know the reaction, believe me"

https://clyp.it/rhuqowct

Either it's Taker's last match or Reigns goes heel I'm guessing.

 

[Tall4Life]

Either it's Taker's last match or Reigns goes heel I'm guessing.

Both

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I think another main reason it's

Spoiler

going on last is that they know the crowd will shit on the rest of the show if the match ends up in the middle of the card so putting it last at least means the crowd won't be turning on the show for the earlier part.

 

[Brian_FETO]

I'd like to see Taker go for a handshake and Roman just beats him down

 

[Beefy]

I'd like to see Taker go for a handshake and Roman just beats him down

They will shake hands and hug

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Goodbye Taker

Does that Women's Tournament promotional pic give away the NXT callups? I see all the main NXT women except Nikki Cross.

 

[Brian_FETO]

They will shake hands and hug

"You know Roman, this really is your yard"

 

[giancarlo123x]

Who's going to NXT? Let's hang out at a rooftop bar before the show

If it's the one I'm looking at on Google doesn't it open at 10?

 

[red capsule]

the goldberg boos at the hof makes me fear we're going to get a deja vu to XX again.

hope that doesn't happen b/c I don't want to be cringing in front of my tv screen while i eat my carne asada,
or hear the awkward head in sand commentary that goes along with it

Let me tell you about Zeuxis, who will win this tourney because she is the greatest luchadora in the world. She smashes people, she knows crazy lucha holds and she can fucking go
