Awesome figure. Had to accessorize mine:

Cary TRU had two pegs fully of the Seth exclusive, plus a full restock of E36 and a random E34 Paige that wasn't there last week. I've also seen B53 popping up in the area, including Breezes and AJs at the Durham TRU.

This whole thing largely stems from Brooke dating someone of a different race, right? How many times has this conversation been played out in parent's bedrooms across the world, since the beginning of man? I wonder if Stephie ever dated a non-white, non-Christian and what was Vince's reaction? So Hogan should get a pass for being a horrible schmuck because there are plenty of other horrible schmucks walking around? Nah.

"I don't like this guy with the model gimmick. Give me the Samoan guy or the Demon. There are no Samoans or Demons on the main roster." Oh right, Samao Joe lives off his genetic heritage as a gimmick. Somehow you are completely missing his actual gimmick of being a badass MMA style wrestler who by the way has had main event quality matches with some has beens by the name of Kurt Angle (in TNA) and CM Punk (in ROH) as well as many others. Nope, he wouldn't be entertaining on the main roster. He's just another Samoan SWAT team/Rikishi/Umaga wannabe. Oh right, Finn Balor releases his "inner demon" by painting himself for PPV appearances because he wants people to mistake him for the Demon Kane, who is a foot taller, 100 lbs heavier, and wears a mask when he isn't providing comedy relief in a suit and tie ripping off the TNA Joseph Parks/Abyss storyline. I usually accept or at least ignore replies like this, but instead of just stating an opposing opinion and agreeing to disagree, you were a smartass who used quotes to (badly) paraphrase my post into something stupid...very stupid. Don't. Just don't. Play nice or don't play at all. Thank you for illustrating my point. You dismissed Breeze based on his gimmick, when he consistently turns in some of the best in-ring performances NXT has to offer. His matches are certainly better than Joe's NXT matches, for one (yes, I know Joe used to be incredible. He is considerably less so today.) Focusing on a gimmick does a great disservice to the worker, as would one treating Joe as any other Samoan or Balor as any other "possessed" character. You don't like the gimmick, fine. But don't dismiss his work.

I couldn't care less about Breeze's debut. He does nothing for me. I didn't like the gimmick the first time we (at least the "we" of us who were born last century) saw it with "The Model" Rick Martel. I will use his appearances as yet another possible toilet break or switch over to see what's up on the Monday or Thursday night NFL game. Now if it was Samoa Joe or Finn Balor it would be a different story. "I don't like this guy with the model gimmick. Give me the Samoan guy or the Demon. There are no Samoans or Demons on the main roster."

Still wanted her & Ziggler together, but I'd be alright with this too. They did a house show loop together a few months back. She was playing it a little too screechy fangirl for my liking, but if she dials it back I think it'd work great.

He's also disappeared completely from TRU.com. A little troublesome for my mind as my local stores don't have Seth yet.

My Ollie's has the whole Summerslam Heritage series for $5.99. Got Dibiase, HBK, and Taker. Already have two of the Hitman Punks and not interested in that HHH or Rey.

The real problem is treating Smackdown like a Raw recap every week. Seeing the same matches from Raw the next day is no fun, so why would someone pay to see it? It's like paying to see the same house show card two nights in a row.
They have a ton of talent on the roster that don't get used; throw them out there and see what happens. Heath Slater and Titus O'Neil are AWESOME on the mic, but you'd never know because neither gets any time. They don't care about Smackdown, so why not give it a shot? They cut The New Day loose and they've become the best thing in the company, and there are plenty of folks with just as much talent. Show a little faith, WWE.

I gotta say I'm very impress with Asuka vs Dana Brooke.I wasn't expecting it to be that good.Dana Hung in there and she really needed that and I was impress she played her role perfectly. Dana's ring work is visibly better every time they do a taping. Combined with her very good character work, she's gonna be pulling her weight at the top of the division sooner than anyone expected.

The more I see Dana Brooke, the more I like her. Dana Brooke's character work has been excellent. She threw herself into all of her naturally heelish qualities (the accent, patronizing Devon, etc.) and it's really made up for her ring work. With that said, her ring work has been steadily improving, and you can really see between taping dates. I was at her first TV match and it was pretty brutal, but she's gotten to a level of solid competency. Her athleticism will carry her a long way, and character work holds everything together.

I was at the show in Brooklyn, and I (like many in the crowd, including Seth Rollins) was crying like a baby after that match. Can't wait to see what they can pull off on Wednesday.

I would've liked the ball. One of my all-time favorite heel moments.
