I was at Target and they have the exclusive Roddy Piper figure. The back of the box also showed Andre, Flair, Warrior and crow Sting.

NXT thoughts :
This right here is Prime Joe. Thank god for NXT. Joe is going to be an amazing monster heel champ.
Based on his work in TNA, Eric Young isn't exactly holy shit worthy, but....this is Eric Young in NXT. NXT scores another quality performer and a guy who is happy doing any role. Plus, that theme is boss.
Tye Dillinger vs Austin Aries was great for what time it got. Dillinger is looking like he's going to be a great mid carder on the main roster and Aries is Aries, simply amazing.
Eric Young put on a good match for his TV debut, but Joe is in monster heel mode and you don't piss off a monster heel. Muscle buster + choke = Goodnight EY.
Good show overall, looking forward to Finn's return next week.

Why in the hell cannot I not just play an entire collection via the Roku app? I wanna put on the War Games collection and it's making me manually select each episode. smdh
They haven't really given Aries a character yet beyond "this is Austin Aries in NXT". He's a great wrestler though and someone they can throw out there for quality matches before developing much with him on that.

Christ Rev Pro, going all out on a show that already sold out with just Kurt Angle vs Zack Sabre Jr.
On top of that, Ospreay vs Speedball and Damo vs Big Daddy Walter
I look forward to #FATHOSS Hero murdering Josh Bodum, as I really don't rate him.
Definitely need to get this RevPro show on VOD.

But give us the global hoss tournament too.
You're right, I'll wait for actual storylines

Wrestlemania 3
I'm watching Steamboat/Macho via the 'Showstealer' collection. I haven't seen Wrestlemania 3 in years, probably since I was like 9. Re-watching it now I'm realizing the camera work on this is just really great. The angles are doing a great job of making the event seem so large. There's a ton of shots like this where it just feels like you're there watching from the arena and the match seems so big.
Not to nitpick the "new" era too much, but one thing I've been noticing of late is the camera angles are too close now. I feel like they take away from the scale of the matches too much. I've said a few times the production value of current WWE feels too much and brings down the event (for me) a bit.

Cheap Shot: The only Pop Roman is getting any time soon
Smark: i'd give my opinion but it'll be muted
Vintage Reigns Promo: Funko pop goes the weasel, balee dat!

My goodness, I was thinking back to when Low Ki was the NXT winner and how he was turned into McCool and Layla's little plaything and that must have had his soul burning with hate. To see someone so serious about his shit get got like that. Fucking delicious, for real.
And the Ascension as well.
It's confirmed. Vampires are the be

I enjoyed Low Ki at WK7 (although I have been watching a lot of Hitman videos recently, which may be influencing my recollection).

This is actually making me laugh recalling it, I suppose it helps that the little git always bugged me, I wonder if he broke out a smile once during his brief WWE tenure.

This is god damn magnificent, Laycool were a treasure.
Eric Young wasn't so bad. I thought he was the living embodiment of cancer the way you guys talked him down. Unique look, solid on the mic, acceptable in ring. I hope he's more of Rhyno type deal where he comes in to put dudes over.
The Balor video package was very cool and Joe is an excellent champion. Thank god the Axxess tapings are over.

nah, old photo, fat hoss hero lives.
So remember PCW getting super salty over TNA pulling EC3 from their Mania weekend show with very little notice?
"According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ethan Carter III and James Storm were pulled from their bookings over WrestleMania weekend due to TNA sending them on a network appearance. The network appearance was actually their audition for CBS Amazing Race. It had been previously reported that they tried out for the show, but no time frame was assigned to the meeting. At this time, it doesn;t appear that either man will be on the show."

It might be the greatest theme of all time. Hearing Gangrel talk about it is pretty damn cool.

I can't tell if that's LayCool doing it or not, but it looks like he's actually trying to hold back laughter lol
One of SunnyMac's better threads - although I'm amazed it made it to 38 posts (for reasons that shouldn't be explored at work).

I was lucky enough to see them live during the low ki training. The greatest tag team of all time.
Low Ki doesn't laugh.

It's okay. A lower post count is a good thing, means people spend more time thinking about their posts as opposed to vomiting them out without a care in the world.
I'm not a good poster, but I know the community as a whole are better posters than I am. Looking at you, Avengers23 and your little writeups and links. That's good postans.

You're never going to be champ again because we can't take ratings that low again and survive, and that 20 minute spot of nonstop talking you want back is a spot nobody else wants to take

Nitro Update.
Pretty good still. Enjoying the cruiserweight stuff and the Horsemen feud. The main attraction is definitely going places with Macho man and Sting being two faces aginst NWO at the moment. I find it funny what they sent to WCW and sorta funny in hindsight.

I do too, maybe see it once or twice a year when it can matter more while Finn actually changes things up.
Meh. Only looking forward to
Athena finally debuting
She could be friendly while sadistic with the more pain she inflicts the more she smiles until she gets pissed off and just murders you, instead she's basically a bigger, less mobile Tamina.
