Here's another video of Flair falling into thumbtacks AGAIN: http://zippy.gfycat.com/AnimatedCarefulInchworm.webm
Cena's going to completely destroy Flair's record. As long as Vince is still in charge I see Cena getting to at least 18. Do I feel like he deserves it, eh, not really. I was halfway expecting Cena to win the title last night to tie Flair, only to have Sheamus cash in and take the belt away from him right away just to expedite the process of Cena breaking the record.
many people did the same as you did, but dropped around 2005-2006 and came back around the summer of Punk, I did the same
I really liked Thuganomics heel cena...
Agreed.
I think the right person won last night, but Cena definitely deserves the record at some point. Just have to hope for that WWE doesn't do what it had done with Cena in the past and bury someone else in the process.

I would feel better about him doing it. What do you think Orton will do once his ring days are over?
Dream, there are a lot of things I have done in my life that have been embarrassing, and wrong. No one is perfect.

So I read an article that said Taker passed out after his match with Lesnar. That's basically 2/2. Honestly, how can WWE send him out there again with Brock? I don't blame Lesnar or accuse him of being too rough. Taker is 50 years old and he's going against arguably the strongest guy on the current roster and one of the best athletes WWE has ever seen.
It still hurts my soul when they mention the Ultimate Warrior Award.
Dat salt.

I don't know what he'll do exactly, but I bet he won't get drunk at a public event and get Jim Ross fired.

Saw the video. Didn't look good. Taker's the kind of dude who has always been talked of to say "don't treat me like an old man" so that's just how it is. Lesnar brings it, and it shows because in the ring, didn't look bad.
This also might be part of feeding this mystique that's left.

That would only leave the tag league to set-up Nak vs AJ for the belt, I guess it could be done, but I'm not so sure - if the belt isn't on the line then it can just be a 'special singles match' and doesn't need any real build. Also, I kinda saw Goto facing Shibata for the IC belt at WK, as the theme of their tag matches this year (and their aborted tag run) was miscommunication, so I'd see them having a falling out during the tag league (which Naito & Sombra are totally winning) to set up an IC title match for WK10.
Also, Goto hasn't really been given a chance to headline sans-Nakamura. I'm not blind to his deficiencies and know he'll always have an uphill battle when it comes to getting the fans behind him, but I don't think he should be written off. Lastly, Styles losing against Okada at KoPW and then facing Shinsuke at WK for the IC belt without another singles match in between just wouldn't sit right with me.

It'll never happen
If it does, I'll shit in my hat. Not after JTG's tell-all book.
Watch it be Shad Gaspard and Virgil.
As long as he's not shitting in wrestler's bags...it's all good.
Agreed. Takeover completely out-shined Summerslam but Summerslam itself was pretty good despite a dumb as fuck ending.
So he's at 13. C'mon Hiatch, betray Rollins and take the belts to get up to 14

The problem, LiquidSnake, is that you remember Flair as being this:
When the reality is more like this:
So what's the problem with that?

Getting into Lucha Underground finally and yeah. Its real good.
Also dug up this quote about the time Sexy Star did a tryout for WWE in 2010.
AAA Women’s Champion Sexy Star received harsh reviews as company officials felt her work was terrible, her English was terrible and that she was overweight. They also felt she wasn’t pretty looking without her mask on. John Laurinaitis told those in FCW that when it comes to hiring female talent, the standard is if they aren’t pretty enough to appear in Playboy, then they shouldn’t be hired.
I am super happy those dark Laurinaitis days or over. Current WWE isnt perfect with picking talent (just look at the Tough Enough finalists) but the years when Johnny Ace was calling the shots seem like a lost generation for the most part.

Hunter walked into the room, telling Stephanie that she was needed elsewhere by Vince. She gave him a quick peck on the lips before heading off. The door shut behind her as Hunter turned to watch her leave, then looked back at the sofa in the office
"Hey... Good show out there, kid..."
Hunter said as he sat next to a sweaty and shirtless Seth Rollins. His hand caressing his right shoulder quite softly. Seth looked down, a little embarrassed by his boss' praise before locking eyes with him as he would lock up physically with opponents in the ring.
"Thanks Paul... I mean, Boss. I couldn't have done it without you. I owe my career and livelihood to you."
Hunter raised his right hand, covering and stroking his own mouth, trying to pat down a smile as if it were Rob Van Dam at a police checkpoint.
"No need to be sorry, kid. Besides... I kinda like it when you call me Paul..."
Seth's face would be flushed a soft pink after hearing that, his lips quiver as if he were on Arrow. The WWE and US titles both lay across his thighs as Hunter would rest his hands on the titles, causing Seth to gasp ever so slightly
"You deserve it, kiddo..."
Hunter said with a sly smirk as Seth-kun would shyly return eye contact. In a nervous state of mind, Seth would stand up to leave as Hunter would grip at his dexterous wrist in an attempt to stop him. Seth would lose his balance, still tuckered out after his grueling bout with Johnathan earlier. Seth would then fall onto his back, the titles scattering across the floor, as he pulled Hunter on top of him on accident. Hunter's imposing physique would lay over Seth, his shirt more undone than usual under his blazer.
"I...I should go. I'm sorry for pulling you do with me, Hun-"
Before Seth could mutter his name Hunter pursed Seth's lips with his index finger and shook his head softly
" Right now... this isn't Seth Rollins talking to Triple H... This is Colby Lopez talking to Paul Levesque."
Paul leaned in to Colby's left ear, bushing his hair behind it as his stubble would tickle the lobe. In almost a whisper he would mutter
" Colby... I only got two words for ya..."

No one is perfect Dream. Everyone has gone through trying times.
bada boom, realest guys in the room?
It would make me feel better about them being left out of Takeover.
Lots of people are financially irresponsible and suffer addiction. Not saying it's a good thing but we all probbaly know people like that and we still love them.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I predicted a Cena loss the moment he came out with those shirts and brought up the record because it had never really been brought up before that and WWE loves to milk shit like this.
In fact, Cena's had two separate title shots before where he could have tied that record and they didn't even mention it from my recollection (Cena's rematch with Lesnar and the Triple Threat at Royal Rumble)

It leads to people being incredibly shocked when they discover that the characters they idolize aren't actually representative of the real life actors playing them.
It's like when people were so shocked that Hulk is a horrible human being. "But he teamed with Mr. T!"
Maybe I'm just not upset because I saw them live.
Place went fucking nuts and Enzo had perfect gear on.
My boys, The Ascension, will finally get their shot at the titles? Fucking sweet.
I'd be preemptively sad about the inevitable breakup angle
