Savage reuniting with Ms. Elizabeth and turning face.
Reason: It's the most perfectly executed face turn in the history of professional wrestling. It didn't compromise Austin's character at all or what he stood for, it simply changed how the fans perceived him.

Sleeper contender for match of the year imo
Batista really was a fantastic face turn. Kane believe it or not has multiple great turns. Mankind has an amazing one at the Deadly Games.
If you want some retro ones then you have Macho reconciliation with Liz, Big Boss Man embracing true law and order, Nikita Koloff.

Ted DiBiase's face turn in Mid-South, pretty much perfectly executed over the course of an hour. Ted went from one of the most despised to the local hero trying to wrench the title from Flair's grasp, it pretty much made him.
More recently, Jimmy Havoc returning at Brixton a few months back and blowing the roof off the place by ending Scurll's title reign.

It's not as big as the examples already given of which I'd probably have posted Austin but I like Becky Lynch's face turn from her match at Unstoppable. While she turned on Sasha, she was still more or less a heel since she never had a big turn. Then during the match the crowd goes from being on Sasha's side to slowly siding with Becky, leading to that great moment at the end where the crowd sings her theme song before it even plays.

Big Boss Man had a solid turn
I MAY BE A PIECE OF SHIT, BUT I AIN'T NO THIEF YOU CAN BUY OFF. I'M A COP.

I liked Batista's face turn due to the build up. The Austin/Hart double turn was good as well.
"NAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHH"
also this was great because Flair sided with Sting only to turn on him like a month later.

I remember Bikertaker having an alright slow burn face turn. IIRC it started after his ladder match with Brother Nero.

He's an impeccably dressed hobo who decided to become a professional wrestler for whatever reason. There you go, story told.

Yay! And much sooner as I had hoped for (after the woman's tournament). The plot thickened recently which got my hopes up. Great news!

Interesting bit from Meltzer I didn't see posted here yesterday.
The metamorphosis in WWE's hiring policies in a very short time is bizarre. This turnaround took place in only the last two years or so, even with the Punks and Bryans they've had. Perhaps only in the last 18 months, in fact.

I know we like to lambast them for their treatment of Punk and Bryan (and rightfully so in most aspects), but it's clear that they learned something from those two about who can get over at a top level. It's the same thing they are learning now with Sasha and Charlotte in respect to the women.
But this is a result of a series of things happening exactly right (Punk gets over, Bryan gets over, HHH is put in charge of talent relations, NXT starts and gets hot, the SHIELD gets incredibly over, etc.). There's been a slow shift over the past few years, and now we're sitting here with WWE's top target being Adam Cole.

Obviously, but five years ago that statement would have been the other way around 90% of the time. The fact that restriction is being given at all is interesting.

Goodbye, giant muscle dudes.
FF6, absolutely. Chrono Trigger? Fuck no, I'll fight someone.
And there are people who think Chrono Cross is better than Trigger
Anyone who says FF8 is the best Final Fantasy should have their head checked. The game is mediocre and all of the hype around it was because it was the game that followed FF7.
I will say that, as someone who really loves FF6, it does have one really overrated part to it - it has a boring as fuck villain.

FFX is my favorite because it was the first one I was able to beat as a kid. The ones before that were so dam tough. Also, Auron and Lulu.

8 may have been different, but it was still fun. I struggle to think of anything fun in 6 or, god forbid, 4.

Aeroplanes over the sea is a fucking horrible album though. Fuck?
Also FF6 is pretty goat. It's not without its flaws, but none of the FF games are.
6 > 9 > 4 > Mystic Quest > 7
From what I remember, FF8 had random encounter enemies that would scale to your party's level - which is one of the most incredibly stupid things to ever get into a Final Fantasy game. FF8 is also the most aingsty teen drama game of them all.
FF4 is a game I really enjoyed when I was younger but upon revisiting it I don't really care for it much at all. So I agree with you there.

That could explain why Kimber got so much offense in on NXT. But god... They need to give Ember Moon some mic or backstage time to get her some character/personality development.

I like Skies of Arcadia better than any Final Fantasy, although I did play 11 for like...a year or so.
The fact that vince is so fucking good as an interviewer and all his shows feature mindless robots like Coach and Cole is mind-boggling to me.
Unlike Robocrap.

Hahaha. Luger.

Well they've gotta get new guys on that nxt roster, I think this is a hunter call more than it is Vince.
