I don't watch NXT and have been watching regularly far less, and I honestly don't see much special about him. Problem is they bring guys from NXT and act like everyone knows who they are, but the fact is not everyone watches NXT. It always gets me that WWE brings these NXT guys in and most of the time they don't bring them in the fold in a good introduction way, because they act as everyone knows this person and they are already a star. To a person who never watches NXT like me, I don't see the big deal at all about Nakamura. It also didn't help that his first main roster feud was against Ziggler (a guy who hasn't won a feud in ages).

I don't see much special about him honestly. I have nothing against him, but I don't see much special about him at all. Keep in mind I only watch WWE (no NXT or any other stuff), but he just comes across as a bland mid-card talent to me. Seems like they are trying to push him as a top talent now, and I'm sure he will get a real title run in the future.

To me this is just a smack in the face to fans who have been watching over the years. This guy has been a jobber his whole career pretty much and now he beats Randy Orton and wins the title? Keep in mind several people don't even know who this guy is because he has been booked so awful for years, but now he is champion. I could understand if they wanted to try pushing him some by giving him a US title run to give him time to build up so prove that he can compete, but giving him the WWE championship is a matter of Hot Shot Booking just trying to get a reaction (which they used to rip WCW for doing).
This whole thing makes no sense to me and I wouldn't pay $5 to see that guy wrestle. You can't take a guy who has been a jobber for years and then just make him champion and expect for him to be a mega star. Smackdown is just such a mess now if you ask me, at least Raw had been a little better lately.

Hulk Hogan because he is the reason I became a wrestling fan, and to me is the greatest of all time.
Torrie Wilson to be inducted into the HOF
As a regular I would love to see Cody Rhodes return, and I'd also like JR and The King return as regulars.

A little off topic, but I need help finding a replica belt. I was at a small local wrestling show back in November and I saw someone with the Classic Winged Eagle belt, but their belt had WWF on it. I was planning on getting a Winged Eagle belt sometime this year but the only one I can find on WWE Shop is the Winged Eagle that has the WWE logo on it (which was fine with me until I saw that one with the WWF logo).
So where is my best bet to find the WWF Winged Eagle belt? Or is that something I just need to give up on?

After last night I have about lost all hope in WWE, but I will give them a chance tonight because this is a night we get a lot of new stuff going usually. Fingers crossed for a good show.

I haven't heard anything about this, and usually what I do hear about the network's numbers are good. I'm sure it will be fine.
They would have higher subscriber numbers if they would book exciting shows on TV though. It is easier than ever to be a fan ($9.99 a month to get PPVs), so why they don't book exciting over the top shows like they used to is beyond me. They need to give big matches on Raw (even have Brock wrestle some) to add energy to PPVs. They gave mega stuff back during the Monday Night War and it didn't hurt PPV buy rates, so think of the network subscriber number if they actually tried to get people to watch their weekly shows. How they talk, they act like nobody even watches the full 3 hour show.
But back to the network, I think it is fine and will be around for a long time.

Shane Vs AJ and the Tag Team Championship match were the only 2 matches I liked. The show was horrible in my honest opinion.

I'd say Flair at WM X8, it had great build and delivered. After AA got involved I thought Flair had it, but they couldn't finish Taker off (JR and The King have some great commentary going on in that match also). WrestleMania 18 is one of my favorite events of all time, so that might also be why I rank that match so high.

We usually get a fun legend segment at Mania, and for the past few years we have had mega legends make some awesome appearances so do you think we will see any of the 3 above make a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 33?
I hope Hulk Hogan returns, this is the perfect place in my opinion for it to happen. He is like 10 minutes away from the arena at his new beach shop in Orlando on Sunday, so I'm a hopeful Hulkamaniac. Even Byron Saxton was at Hogan's shop the other day and posed with a Hulk Hogan statue (saw that on Twitter), so I hope Hulk returns. Hogan did say yesterday however that he won't be at WrestleMania, but to me that still doesn't mean that he won't be there.
I almost expect to see The Rock since he seems to show up every year now, but he could be booked up doing promotion for his new movie.
I would love to see Austin come out and give someone a stunner, but I think of the 3 he has the least chance of appearing.
I'm a big fan of seeing legends return and get involved at WrestleMania, so I hope we get one of these 3 to show up. This card doesn't have me super hyped so I hope for some surprises and good in ring action (I just don't see the main event being any good at all though).

Think I'm going to finish Zelda BOTW tonight. It has been such a great game, I hope the final boss closes it out on a high note |

Well Goldberg has lead to some miserable TV for us viewers.
I was excited to see him back last year and even at the Rumble, but now I could care less. I could sure care less about seeing him and Brock wrestle a 3rd horrible match together.
WWE needs star power for Mania they feel so they probably don't care what he says or how miserable he is, because they are gaining something from having him there.
