Wouldn't surprise me at all. One thing is clear as day... Bryan Danielson, the man, WILL wrestle again. If WEE won't clear him, he'll simply work out his contract and go someplace else. Dude just loved it too much not to. He'll happily wrestle in front of ten people if it means being in the ring again.

Never was and never will be a Goldberg fan, but you really can't deny that he deserves a spot in the Hall Of Fame for the WCW Run alone.

There are at least four more episodes coming (in February if I heard correctly)... Hello Kitty, Lego, Star Trek, & Transformers. How well those and the whole first season is received will determine whether there'll be any others beyond that.

I used to bowl a lot. Like, two or three times a week. Was actually my goal to go pro eventually. At my peak, I was averaging around 220 or so. Got hit by a car when biking one day... mess me up for a while. Then life got in the way and whatnot. Haven't been bowling in years now. Actually miss it a lot.

I like it. I don't get why the name plate is on the top half of the belt though. Maybe it's just because I was so used the belts with the wrestler's name, being on the bottom. But hell, it looks more like a world title than either of WWE's belts. Definitely agree that it's way better than any of the WWE World Titles.

New ROH World Championship BeltNew Ring Of Honor World Championship Belt revealed. Not sure I care for it too much at first glance. I'm sure it'll grow on me and it's not horrible looking... I just think the previous design was damned near perfect so it's a shame to see it gone.

Glad I waited and didn't pull the trigger during earlier sales. Still couldn't afford to get that NXT Authentic Scale Ring or a few of the figures he wanted, but definitely hooked my Nephew up with bundle of new figures and accessories for Christmas.

This literally has zero percent chance of working out for his intended result.
I theorize that there's literally only one way to truly get WWE to change their plans with Roman Reigns or anyone else the crowd. Booing doesn't work because WWE subscribes to the idea that any reaction is a good reaction. Just not watching the show doesn't work unless you have a massive amount of other people also not watching or buying tickets.
The only way WWE will really notice is if you have an entire arena full of people literally go silent and turn their back when the person they don't like shows up. WWE would actually notice if arenas full of people suddenly turn around and don't say a thing whenever Roman Reigns (or anyone in particular) appears. Even then, you'll never get that much of a collective cooperation because there will always be plenty of people who either like or are just indifferent to whomever others don't like. So, basically, just enjoy what you enjoy about WWE programming and forget about the rest.

Both honestly...
I'm in the process of digitizing my entire music, movie, TV show, and wrestling collection with the plan to view everything digitally via a NAS system connected to a raspberry pi running OSMC. However, I do plan on keeping hard copies of everything as well. Just want to have that physical media backup. I will say, however, that I don't care a spit for having full albums or most music (actually made collections of my favorite songs for almost all the artists I had complete with custom album art for that collection) and could not care less about special features for movies. Also don't really care much about packaging for physical media as I store everything in either discsox data disc sleeves or multi-disc CD sized cases with custom (and simplified) artwork so I can easily see what's what if needed. So, basically, I watch or listen to all that digitally, but do still like having the physical media, just in case.
Books are physical all the way. Just not the same reading on a tablet or computer screen and pressing buttons instead of flipping pages.
Video games are a mixed bag. Used to be all physical all the time for games. Lately though, it's just whatever version I can get cheaper.

random question... why are all the star wars pops bobble heads? It's a licensing thing. Hasbro actually owns the licensing rights to Star Wars and Marvel action figures. For some reason, Pop!s are legally considered action figures and thus, all Star Wars and Marvel Pop!s or Mystery Minis are bobbleheads because bobblesheads are apparently considered collectibles and not action figures.

Bret Hart would have some incredible matches with today's talent.
Randy Savage would flourish in any era.
I think Jake Roberts would fit in well in the modern scene.
Million Dollar Man's gimmick would probably work even better now given the widening gap between rich and poor.
Vader would be wonderful today and stand out greatly.
Gotta agree with Roddy Piper as well.
Bottom line is that truly top level talent would find a way to thrive in any era despite how radically different they've been.

So happy that there will be a fourth season for Lucha Underground! Obviously gonna be some big roster turnover and a few guys missing who played prominent rolls before, but there seems to be a certain type of magic in The Temple that can and no doubt override that fact.

It was a fantastic finale to Season 3 of Lucha Underground. Loved every minute of it.
I, too, hope there's a fourth season, but I'm honestly not optimistic about it. It's nearing a year and a half since they finished filming season three and I'd think that if they were going to find enough financing for another season, they'd have done so by now. Hope I'm wrong though.
As far as explaining why some key names aren't around anymore... That's easy. "New Management". Not gonna spoil anything too much, but with what happened at the end of season three, it'd be pretty easy for them to say Lucha Underground is under new management and luchadors and luchadoras who didn't want to play ball were sent packing. It's be kinda sad to see some of those names gone if they can't secure new contracts for them, but ultimately, Lucha Underground has done a terrific job at making virtual unknowns seem like a big deal before. No reason they can't do it again.

Am I the only one that has enjoyed Mahal's run??? Its like the second coming of Hassan. The chapter he never had. WWE Champion! Nope. I've enjoyed it for the most part. Didn't care much for the two Nakamura matches, largely because both Jinder Mahal and Nakamura are the type that really need a top quality performer to put on a top quality match. I did really like the first two title matches against Orton. Even the Punjabi Prison was good for a Punjabi Prison match (that particular math types is just doomed to failure/dullness). I wish they would have built Mahal up a bit before thrusting him into the title scene, but I genuinely think he's been doing pretty well with it all things considered. I honestly think that most the people who crap all over Mahal's reign as champion are folks who can't see past the fact that he went from jobber to champion in record time and has been saddled with the typical evil foreigner character. That's not an insult to fans who haven't enjoyed his run. Every fan has had moments like that, myself included. And yeah, both the quick climb to the top of the card and terribly generic gimmick suck, but IMO, Jinder Mahal's been doing a good job considering the crap he's been given to work with. I, for one, hope the match with Lesnar does happen and that Jinder Mahal beats him. Sure, there'd obviously have to be a ton of shenanigans for that to happen, but I think it'd be awesome for Jinder Mahal to has a victory over Brock Lesnar. Isn't this right before their tour of India? Ladies and gentlemen the man who conquered the beast Juicy Jinder Mahal.
So to be clear. There are seemingly more Fans are ok with the juice being shoved down our throats but cant stand Roman. . Not sure how this is the case anymore. There's a big difference there. Jinder Mahal has been booked as a champion that clearly doesn't deserve to be champion. In typical heel fashion, he's had help gaining and retaining the title every time. And most people seem to at least recognize that he's put in a lot of years as a forgettable part of the show, got released and used it as motivation to get better and get back. He's really just a guy who's busted is ass and happened to be in the right place at the right time and will ride that wave as long as he can. He's kind of a feel good story in some ways. Roman Reigns has been booked like the be all, end all, supreme God of all things wrestling despite the fact that he has about five moves total in his repertoire. He's been hand-picked based mostly on image and basically handed a golden ticket without having to buy any Wonka bars. What's more, there have been multiple instances where WWE has seemingly gone out of their way to show us that Roman Reigns and whatever he's doing is more important than the WWE or Universal Championship. WWE fans don't hate Roman Reigns, they hate how he's portrayed. They hate the Superman booking. They hate that fact that he's not a great wrestling or character, but has headlined multiple WrestleManias (and will undoubtedly headline the next one barring major injury). And they hate the fact that WWE is so locked into manufacturing Roman Reigns as the greatest WWE Superstar of all time that it's holding back far more deserving and far more talented wrestlers from having any real chance in the main event scene.

I hope it is not the last season for LU. I really hope so too. Unfortunately, it doesn't look real promising for a fourth season. Been over 15 months since they filmed Season Three and last I heard they maybe, might have, sort of, secured some funding for a fourth season, but nothing definitive. IMO, it would be a terrible shame not to have Lucha Underground around anymore. It's far and away the most fun I've had watching wrestling in years. I still enjoy ROH, WWE, NJPW, and even TNA/GFW/Impact. Lucha Underground is pretty well everything that made me fall in love with wrestling to begin with cranked up a few notches.

I really wish there was some way to get the whole series on DVD.
Keep finding myself absolutely captivated by every episode, even when it's guys I don't care much about.

This has got to be a joke, right? Like, they can't honestly think this is a good thing in any way shape or form. They can't honestly have signed any sort of deal prior to re-branding as Global Force Wrestling that would have even had the possibility of them losing the rights to the name so quickly (presumably now that Jeff Jarrett has left or taken a leave or something)? I mean, that's just business 101. You don't change the name of the company if you don't actually own the new name.

Big ole 'meh' for me. If Paige is motivated to actually give a crap in the ring again, then I think she could be a nice addition to the roster, either in NXT or RAW/SmackDown. If it's the same Paige who clearly couldn't be bothered to care about the quality of her matches that we saw prior to her sudden disappearance from TV screens, then just keep her away. The women in WWE have worked to hard to try and boost how women's wrestling is viewed in the mainstream to let someone who doesn't give a s*** ruin it.
