His contract is apparently supposed to run out this month so maybe he or somebody else can finally shed some light on what's going on.

There is also rumors that WWE is going to extend Pink's contract for six months. The same way they extended Ray's.

If I had to pick three of the hottest diva's the WWE's employed in their time, Layla is one of them.

It already is. People who remember the Attitude Era with rose-tinted glasses have selective vision. Nothing is going to be as good as the stuff you remember from your early and mid-teens.

What's the person's age got to do with it? It had better commentary, a good number of tag teams, infinitely better main event, no social media up the ass, many wrestlers with characters and actual charisma, storylines for a greater portion of the roster, and competition from opposing companies so they had to bust ass to make a good product (when I think Attitude Era, I think of WCW as well, since both were highlights of a Monday night). Today's can't even hit 3.0 ratings and actual numbers themselves have gone down in the past ten years.

Yup. A couple of years ago, I watched every Raw and PPV from Wrestlemania 13 up until the brand split. The first 3/4s of that was a vastly superior product and I still think that the bolded is the main reason why. Even when the main event picture took a downturn (the McMahon-Helmsley era, Big Show title run), the rest of the cards usually made it much better as a show.

Being 2 hours really, really helps too.

I look forward to Cena coming out to tell Sting how much he respects him and list off his accomplishments for the 90% of the fans in the stands that weren't even born last time Sting was relevant.

The 2 hours definitely helped. But we'd probably get shorter matches if we went back to that.

If heel Punk was around he could interrupt with "Now you're surfing in my ring, Steve." *smirk*

"I don't know about anybody else here, but the last time I saw 'The Stinger' (actual air quotes) wrestle in a match I enjoyed, Hulk Hogan could still do a leg drop. And now you walk out here like nothing has changed since 1998. Now you walk out here...on MY SHOW...and act like you're a big deal. Why? Because you're in a video game? News flash, Borden. The MIZ is in that game. Okay? And that's exactly the level you're at in 2014, so I'll say it once and I'll never say it again. GET. OUT. OF. MY. RING."

There's a "DAE like John Cena the character" joke in there somewhere. Also a lot of Ubi butthurt.

Ubi have screwed me too many times and I'll likely never buy a game of theirs for double figures again, but it's a character trophy in Smash so the people getting bent out of shape over it are quite funny.

It would make me laugh if Cena was an assist trophy though. Comes out and 5 knuckle shuffle the screen.

Anyone buying games at full price these days is a mug. Hell preordering is ridiculous.

Though I did pre order WWE 2K14 at full price... other than that though it's wait for a discount or get a discounted pre order on the rare occasion I do preorder.

I mean this is an actual quote from another thread:
really can't risk not having Destiny day one for the sake of £15.

and that's a deals thread fer chrissake. Some people take this games thing too seriously.

If Punk did a podcast it would just be interviews with shitty punk rock bands that wouldn't give him the time of day if he was "just a fan". Biiiig circle jerk. And maybe the Circle Jerks.

Turning down a guaranteed amount of money that is twice as much as the offer you accepted from WWF is no conspiracy friend and that is if the deal fell through and almost 20 times as much if it went through.. That's obvious foul play at work.

I think it's more along the lines of "We know Vince is good for his offer, can we trust Bischoff's thrown together company to pay $5 million, let alone the final cost?"

Smash Bros 4 is announcing a new character today, July 14th, 2014.
A Man Called Sting tweeted out 7/14/2014 or something like it a few days ago.

Coincidence?

A Man Called Sting

DESCENDS FROM THE RAFTERS!

BTW nobody should be expecting to see Sting in anything except kideo game form.

Who is this Sting character? Sounds like a knockoff Fire Pro name.

A MAN CALLED STING, on the other hand, is a legendary wrestler from a far off land who has traveled to the WWE to have one last great match.
