FastLane.

That's still fucking sad. I've always been in the "PROTECT THE MOVES" camp.

Remember when the superkick meant something? Goddamn Usos.

I can't remember when was the last time that I was excited for a finisher. They shouldn't call them finishers anymore, just signature moves for every one.

Ah, I see. Thanks for reminding me. Still only one kick out in recent time compared to all the others guys on the roster is impressive enough. My guess is it's less intentional to make him look tough and more to do with the fact until recently Ambrose was the top upper mid-card guy who rarely lost.

Everyone and their mother does the superkick now. Usos, Owens, Rusev, Seth, and of course Shawn Ziggles.

You know what wwe should have kept, or at least used? Some of WCW and ECW ppv names. I know they had Great American Bash a long time ago. Think about it:

October: Sin or Halloween Havoc
June: Bash at the Beach

Or Halloween Havoc?

OR HALLOWEEN HAVOC?!

They should bring back Starrcade for SD and get rid of stupid ass TLC.

Triple H vs Roman Reigns was as bad as Triple H vs Randy Orton at WM25

Two of the worst WM main events ever.

But Triple H is making up for these sins with his NXT production.

If Triple H sold like that during 2002-2003, no one would have ever complained about his title reigns during that period.

Best match at 32? You're blowing my mind, Data.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I like Roman in-ring and even though the long-term storytelling(which it's WWE so it's ALWAYS been this way) was shit, the story in the ring was a ton of fun to watch. I believe I remarked Mr. H's is the best point his career has ever been during that match.

It was dope as fuck.

No other match in WWE since has lived up to that Final Boss feel. Could've done it with Brock, but they fucked it up.

Honestly Triple H vs DBry for the title should have been the WM30 main event.

The entire lead up was about Triple H vs DBry and they turned it into a curtain jerker.

Well, you need something festive for the year, why not. Remember the somewhat FnP "costume" contests wwe had for SD every Halloween?

Hopefully since we can never have sd on a Thanksgiving again, they do a network special with a few matches just for that day and in tribute to the old Survivor Series date.

Dream, Heel, I'm going to have to counter your points about the WWE locker room getting worked and all that.

It's 2016. Ric Flair, Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler and the lot have a LOT more to be gained by latching onto McGregor's controvery than McGregor has to get by associating himself with them. He's the one getting worked here.

No. I don't. And I'm incredulous not because I'm against Halloween Havoc. I'm incredulous because you're even considering Sin. Havoc is a must, daddeh. C'mah!

I ask you, did we rename any of our cities to Berlin after we beat the Germans? So why should Vince McMahon use the names used by those who tried to destroy him?

I agree. The whole story they were telling was they didn't believe Orton could cut it anyway, so he should have won the title from him at the Rumble with Bryan winning the Rumble.

THen HHH pins the entire roster clean to get his heat back after jobbing to somebody 5'7" who doesn't work for them.

HHH and Steph going over Rousey and McGregor in a mixed tag confirmed.

Everyone wins because those two can lose, but collect a meaty paycheck while WWE can do twenty minute promos of how they beat the top dogs of MMA.

You're not fooling me, JesseEwiak. I already saw that WWE adopted The Great American Bash so anything is possible in the WWF! Un-be-lievable!

Well, there are already some bad named ppv's now, so... My point is: If I bought out my competition, and had access to everything, I would make sure to at least use some of the assets to good use.

Even if you believed that the competition had tried to personally destroy your livelihood and family business that you planned to leave to your flesh and blood?

Here's what Carmella full entrance intro is from a house show. Natalya attacked her on Smackdown before she could finish it.

I like Carmella but Jesus Christ, this gimmick does not work when she's on the opposite brand as Enzo & Cass and half the crowd has no clue who the fuck she is.
