My brother who only cares about 2000-2001WWE caught a glimpse of NXT and is instantly hooked so we are going back and watching the older Takeover shows. It's crazy and awesome how much NXT appeals to people.

When Punk cared (which was a lot of the time), he was great without a doubt. He helped reiterate that a "small guy" could be a good champ.

I would say that if Vince left Punk would come back - but HHH would probably have to leave too. Punk's not coming back.

Also, just turned down the opportunity to buy Dragon Age Inquisition for £17. I feel I may be maturing.

I'm level 41, have most of the settlements unlocked and in my supply chain, have earned the perks of three companies and have become an unstoppable walking arsenal of death, yet I still haven't gone to find that Private Detective.

I can't fucking stand Bethesda's main quest storylines, they're all so shit and completely at odds with the main reason people play these games - to explore, to do quests, to find cool stuff. Really wish they'd drop the scripted main quest bullshit and instead let people start the game from a number of perspectives, not just 'Vault Dweller'.

I'd done much the same, then went to get Nick Valentine last night. I wish I hadn't waited, he's bloody brilliant character-wise.

Hmm, I might have finally found at least 8 games I'd play on the Wii U. It's only taken 5 years or whatever, but I think I'm finally starting to consider buying one.

Monster Hunter
Xenoblade
Yoshi's Wooly Thing
Mario Party
Captain Toad
Mario Kart
Super Mario World 3D
Legend of Zelda
Zelda Windwaker

My only fear is I'll want Mario Maker, but then I'll feel like I'm being drawn into the dark world of Amiboos.
Click to expand...

Super Mario Maker is amazing and you don't need the amiibo to unlock the in-game costumes, but it will make it easier.

Hyrule Warriors
Bayonetta 1 + 2
Splatoon
Nintendo Land (;_;)
New Super Mario Bros. U + Super Luigi U

all awesome

I've honestly fast-forwarded through Del Rio's entire return run. Like not even hyperbole, literally haven't seen a normal speed moment of it at all.

I don't have a clue what his gimmick even is lol.

Mexican guy who is living the American dream but is angry about it? Mexican guy who wants to build a wall so other Mexican guys can't get in? Mexican guy who hates Mexico but also hates what America has become? I just assume he is a terrible bland heel like normal.

One of my most meh wrestlers of this era, constantly given title runs and opportunities for some reason but never makes good of any of it, then is rewarded with more of them. :|

It's Vinces way at getting back at people.

Get them under your thumb and then screw them.

He did it with Brock with his first 4 matches back.

This year's tag league definitely feels better than last year's, and I need Sho Tanaka to go on his learning excursion already so he can come back and inject new blood into New Japan.

If you fail the first time. And the second time. Maybe even the third or fourth time the key to winning them over is repetition because sooner or later they got to cheer. Right?

While WWE nixed original plans for Roman Reigns to win the WWE World Heavyweight Title at Survivor Series, and went with Sheamus as champion, that is still the long-term goal for the title.

It's interesting that WWE went with the big elaborate coronation with Reigns right before Sheamus cashed-in as that is still what they want to eventually do with him.

There's a feeling within WWE that some fans see Reigns as the corporate pick, so he gets booed by some of them at WWE TV tapings and pay-per-view events. The solution appears to be to keep having The Authority screw Reigns and keep him from the title, which they hope will cause the same fans to get behind Reigns and want him to win the title.

WWE officials hope fans get behind Reigns and support him before they "pull the trigger" on his big push as the centerpiece of the company, which you could say they have already done based on how he's booked.

I still don't see what they see with Roman, because even if I don't particularly like Cena and all the burying he's been booked to do, I can totally see why he's the perfect face of the company. The guy has charisma blowing out the ass, he can turn any crowd to his favor in the blink of an eye, he can put on consistently good matches, he's great. Roman on the other hand, stutters 5 times a promo, says things like "this ain't boring, baby, this is real life" when the crowd starts to turn on him, he's a charisma black hole, he needs to be carried throughout most of his matches, he just plain sucks all round and should in no way be the face of a company that is declining on ratings fast.

Can't wait for him to beat Triple H at Mania giving him the right to go to the main event and pin both Lesnar and Cena at the same time to become 2 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion and begin his 600+ day record breaking reign.

I feel like this type of shit works for somebody like Austin or Daniel Bryan. Somebody whose look differs from the traditional champ.

I mean Roman looks like a mix of HHH and Big Boss man with the outfit.

I thought I saw a PCDD deal for Life Is Strange yesterday from WrestleMania.

I might get some Evolve shows from their sale. Maybe the WWNLive show.

From the October 5th, 1998 issue of the Wrestling Observer newsletter:


"...when a guy starts getting hot in WWF, they keep pushing him until he starts cooling off and if it means upsetting an established star, so be it. In WCW, when a guy starts getting hot, they immediately have an established star squash him, unless the company got the guy hot as opposed to one of those guys who just catches on for no apparent reason."

Heh, yeah, that reminds me of the Monday Night Wars thing they did on the Network, which is filled with quotes by people about WCW that 100% apply to WWE in 2015.
