WWNLIVE.COM SIGNS GAME-CHANGING DEAL FOR PROMOTION
by Mike Johnson @ 12:33 PM on 12/3/2014
Awesome news for the WWN crew, crazy to think that with the four stops on their tour this year they put on the same number of shows WWE has ever held in China. Talk about an untapped market.

It helps if you have gold to use, and existing diamonds that the jeweler can use, that basically brings the cost down to labor which is still high but not as high as it would be.
Am I an asshole for thinking I'd rather not spend much on an engagement ring so I can get some better wedding rings later? An engagement ring just seems as such a temporary thing that it seems weird to me to spend a lot on it.
Also NJPW World is finally working again for me. It must have been something on their end because I did nothing.

Oh well. It's a one time deal. Don't be stupid about it but also don't be a total cheap ass.
Cena's learning of Mandarin has gone to waste, an indie promotion beat them to China.
Not at all. Hell me and my wife's honeymoon was at Michael's Restaurant and our apartment. What matters is the love and support for years to come after the words "I Do".
Well I also wouldn't want to overspend on wedding rings either but at least get some nicer ones than if I'd also get an expensive engagement ring. Right now I think I know I am going to ask my GF but at this time we both have to worry about jobs and finding a home after that. Right now is not the time.
To me, it all depends on what your girl wants. I lucked out with a gf who isn't really big on jewelry, so I'm just making something special for her with what I have to work with.
While she won't wear it forever, engagement rings are investments that either become heirlooms or something your kids can put to the price of their own ring or future.
As long as the rings didn't come from a friggin cereal box, it shouldn't matter the price as long as it's reasonable imo...

Maybe the lady had a brass ring on and Slater finally decided to stop being a lazy millennial
I say think about how much you would spend for yourself on something nice within reason. Something you really want (outside anything involving a loan for a house or car). Could you justify say... a 2000 dollar computer system? 3000?
Well if yes now imagine doing that except for someone else. From my experience most girls don't mind having some nice jewelry. Now if a girl rather have an engagement PC than a ring..then congrats.
I guess.
Yeah, but a 2000 dollar computer system gets a lot more mileage and use than a ring that sits on someone's finger.

Yeah, the cost of the rings shouldn't really matter. Not every woman needs or wants a diamond the size of a Ring Pop like AJ was sporting around Wrestlemania. I spent less than $4,000 on our wedding bands and my wife's engagement ring combined.
That's the spirit!
I'd agree with this, but I am also someone who never got jewelry. I don't own a single piece personally. Hell I don't even own an expensive watch.

Oh goddammit.
I remember this story coming out back when it happened... Why is stuff happening again now? Could've sworn it was settled back then.
My wife not really big into Jewelry. The main jewels she wear besides the wedding ring is her earrings. I understand where you coming from as far as putting huge finances into a ring. I guess I'm lucky with the fact that my wife didn't care for an expensive ring or even a big wedding which we were both in agreement. Especially with our finances around that time.
We still plan on having a big wedding and cruise whenever our career goals come into play. Until then...no complaints with the exception of her marking out for Roman reigns :/.

Yeah, I remember this too. I guess she's filing a civil suit or something?
Does it? What will still be around 100 years from now.
Vince made a huge mistake. Cena is gunning for his job now.
Also, computers lose value over time, and eventually it will be worth as much as a box set of John Cena matches.
While gold and diamonds value might fluctuate, the market will never completely die out for them and you'll always be able to get some of your investment back.
It wont matter because I'll be dead
I'm gonna have to sneak back over to the local jewelry store after work one of these days when my girlfriend isn't home and try to get a good price estimate. We looked at rings earlier this summer and some of the prices were pretty hefty, but I think some of those were packages that included both the engagement ring and wedding band.

rings also retain and sometimes even appreciate in value~
Okay, admittedly I didn't think about that.
There are probably better ways to invest my money for the future than jewelry.

She reported it to her work the day after it happened, waited on them 3 months, then reported it to the police when she realized they'd do nothing. So either it literally took 3 years for her place of employment to take it seriously enough to follow through, or it took literally 3 years for the police to take it seriously enough to follow through. Either way, somebody's incompetent
It's a fucking gift. You're going to get some engagement mutual bonds?

Loving the Generation X vs. Millennial take on engagement rings.
No, but you will also never see me spending thousands of dollars on a ring. Seems bonkers to me.
I believe Americans are much more serious about engagement rings than Europeans.
At least, that's what television taught me.
I'm also trying to think from the perspective of my girlfriend. She like expensive gifts but she's also said numerous times that she'd rather that money go towards better things.
Like she's already straight out told me she's only renting her wedding dress and doesn't really want an overly expensive one either. Because according to her there's no point in buying a dress she'll only wear once, and that money used to buy a crazy expensive dress could go towards getting better food for all of the people you invite to your wedding.
She told me this after we went to a wedding where apparently the bride had like a $2k dress and then had really shoddy food at the reception.

As a millennial, I apparently view marriage as an outdated and useless concept and therefore don't need to spend any money
Only ring I'm getting is the brass ring dudes

Apparently? I never heard of anyone spending that much money on one. Well except if you are rich as fuck.

Wow. That's really fucked up.
Dorks here spending thousands a year on videogames and all sorts of nerd crap. Are they good investments? No. Do they enjoy them? Sure. Do people think they are useless waste of time. Yes.
Now think of your significant other. Does he/she like stuff/things you might think is a waste? Probably.
So every once in awhile take the time to sacrifice your own bullshit for the enjoyment of others. If it's not Jewlery fine. But go out of your way and do something 100% for them.
I own no jewelry. I have no use for it. But I still went out of my way to get something within reason of what I get paid because I knew it would make my significant other happy. And it's not even about the ring. It's about the thought/effort.

Silly American.
something something grab the brass rings?
I have always heard the rule "3 paychecks".
I'm in the same boat, GF and I start ring shopping soon. Planning on popping the question early 2015. If I had to guess I bet we go brass only.
I can do all that without spending that much money on silly expensive jewelry and I do it all the time.
