Can't you just have a baby or something? People spend a lot of money on those things, and when they come of age, they can work in your stead.
You know for a company with such a diehard fanbase, Nintendo sure doesn't seem to care about their core fanbase. I mean it took Gamestop telling them to do it and how many years for a US release of Xenoblade?
Meanwhile Sony just put out Puppeteer like day and date with its Japanese release?

When you treat your core fanbase like shit and they defend you further, that's how you know you can do no wrong.
That would probably be best. I can't stop spending money on useless gadgets at any rate, that's for sure.

Vader's powerbomb is better than Batista's?
Honestly I may go with Kevin Nash. Never mind the botches, I always loved how he did his.
Vader's powerbomb is way better than Batista's
The only contention of powerbombs is are you a Vader man or a Mike Awesome man.
Diesel's powerbomb isn't a good powerbomb, but it's a good powerbomb for his character, weirdly enough. Like, anyone else doing jackknives looks stupid. But Diesel doing them is cool because Diesel is cool. It's such a casual powerbomb, the way big daddy cool just kind of drops them because he knows he's tall and doesn't even have to apply force

The Awesome Bomb was pretty awesome. It is what it was.

New poll who is the next intercontinental champ and has the best hair
I always referred to Nash's powerbombs as powerdrops. I always felt he had the shittiest powerbomb because he didn't apply the force.

That's...exactly it. Wonder why I like it so much?
Weirdly enough, one of the best looking jackknives was done to Undertaker instead of a small guy
Because Nash plays a giant role. An intelligent giant but still a giant. Which means that, yeah, he doesn't have a lot of moves. But the few he does have you know are just leading up to the jackknife. It only works for big guys and they have to be booked like it, but sometimes less is more.

Taker's landing sold that well. Just a big WHUMP. No bounce.
A canonical entry from The John Cena Trilogy (Part 4).
Probably this, yeah. If Hogan would've never no-sold Vader's, I'd have said Vader. But he was defanged forever at that moment.
I liked Vader's powerbombs because he crippled that one guy so everytime I saw it I thought it was the most legit thing ever.
I liked Awesome's powerbombs because it wasn't just one. He could hit you with a sit-down, over the shoulder, or just a standard one. And he could pull it out of nowhere.
On the other spectrum, I liked the jackknife because you know it's coming. It builds up to it. And I love that Nash will do stuff when he's fixing to lift them to just drag it on more. And like I said, it's one of the most 'fitting' moves to a wrestler just like the tombstone is to Undertaker and the stunner is to Stone Cold.
Basically any powerbomb that has the guy doing it still on his feet is the best. None of that having to get back up BS.

Does the razors edge count ?
D'Lo Brown. He ran and everything! Even if sometimes the receiver could never run again.
True story. I was going to volunteer to do the November thread and make it Minoruvember instead of Nashvember.New poll who is the next intercontinental champ and has the best hair

Aye, it would have to as it's really just a crucifix powerbomb.

Batista did a good sit-out though right up to his feet. I always liked that.
And yeah, D'Lo's running powerbomb was pretty dope.

I haven't watched any of it in a long time, but I feel like the announcing during Diesel's time was done in a way so that you'd be like, "oh shit, if he hits the jack knife, this is over." Then the slow pause with him putting his arm up before lifting the guy, etc. It was presented in a way to make it more important than it was?
Better than Sid's around that time, at any rate.

CENA OVERCAME HIS INJURY TO STAY CHAMPION. RISE ABOVE. HUSTLE LOYALTY RESPECT. WHAT AN ATHLETE!
The worst part of that whole thing for me was Cole's announcing when Cena won. He sounds like such a fucking cheerleader. Hes trying to deliver this big moment, but its such forced enthusiasm cause its all such bullshit. At least JBL sounded mystified in the "I have no idea why the fuck that happened" kind of way.

I agree. No need for MitB, just have a multi-tag team ladder match for the titles at Mania to make up for it, then replace the MitB PPV with a tournament.
WWE needs some damn tournaments.

I guess the problem is sometimes they have no one worthy of elevating, but someone has to win.
Not saying Sandow didn't deserve it, but you had no faces to go up against. Cody went on to other things and Ziggler got figuratively pedigreed.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Put me down for a vote for Sid, too.
(Yes, the only gif I could find of him powerbombing Diesel is from a 90s Angelfire page.)

Dolph's been pedigreed since post-Rumble. They used him for tag fodder outside the short existent WHC run.
Kind of eager to see Dean Ambrose once he is on his own and away from Rollins and Reigns. Should easily be one of the more entertaining heels.

I just hope the shield separate amicably and we don't get a triple threat match or something .

Oh god, isn't Ohno on their current tour? Hope they didn't catch him injecting Twinkies
Punk stealing Jeff Hardy's thunder was pretty delightful, but otherwise yeah it either needs to be retooled or shelved
Have you watched wrestling in the past 100 years?
