I'm torn on this... On one hand, I'd really love to hold out hope that Rollins uses is cash in to leave WrestleMania as champion (I mean really, how heelish would it be to steal the moment by cashing in on a guy who just went through a war and 'conquered the beast' at the biggest show of the year). But, on the other hand, whatever gets the belt off Brock Lesnar is fine by me. WWE has made a lot of stupid choices in recent years, but putting the main championship on a guy who can't be bothered to show up for months at a time has got to be the worst (would be much eaiser to stomach if the titles hadn't been unified). Yeah, it's WWE's fault for giving the guy a deal they can't really afford, but if Lesnar gave even the slightest crap about what being WWE Champion is supposed to mean, he'd be there more often than not (at least for TV and PPVs). So really, if you ask me, even Cena getting a nauseating 16th world title to his credit would be preferable to another day with Lesnar as champion.

Sega Master System (< incredibly underrated system IMO) Nintendo Game Boy Color Super Nintendo Entertainment System Nintendo 3DS
Sony Playstation 4 Sony Playstation 2 (toughest one here - GameBoy really started the mobile gaming phenomenon, but PS2's game library is so vast and varied that it wins out) Microsoft Xbox Nintendo Game Boy Advance
Sony Playstation 3 Sega Genesis Commodore 64 Nintendo Entertainment System (tough not to pick the Atari 2600 for nostalgia reasons, but NES was just so darned awesome that it overcame a terrible console design, so it wins this matchup for me)
Sega Game Gear Nintendo 64 Sony Playstation Sega Dreamcast

I think most people in the IWC don't really have a problem with Roman Reigns himself. It's more the fact that of the three Shield members, Reigns was far and away the THIRD best in the group (the argument could be made for Rollins or Ambrose as THE best of the three - my vote would go to Rollins). More importantly, it's been clear for a while that while Ambrose and Rollins are bot clearly ready and have the ability to play a bigger role in the company and be new fixtures in the main event scene, Roman Reigns clearly is not at that same level. Anyone who's ever watched wrestling for six months or more can see that, yet Roman Reigns is the one who's seemingly being poised for that "Next Major Main Event Star" spot instead of Rollins or Ambrose (who, to be fair, have gotten that spot while Reigns was out and Lesnar was sitting at home).
Yet, despite all that, it certainly seems that whomever is calling the shots in WWE has decided that Roman Reigns is the "Next Big Thing" instead of others who are obviously more ready for the role. In short, they're forcing the issue instead of letting it develop organically and I think that's where the anger and upset comes from for a large portion of the fan base (well, at least the online fan base). They feel like even though they, as fans, devote a large chunk of time and often money to WWE and WWE merchandise, they aren't being listened to when it comes to who they want as main event players in the company. That's what happened with Daniel Bryan heading into WrestleMania last year and it might just happen again if WWE continues to push less capable performers while Rollins, Ambrose, Cesaro, Ziggler, and other far more talented wrestlers keep bumping into the glass ceiling.

LEGO Jurassic Park has actually been one of my most wanted games for a while (just a notch below a LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), so I'm stoked for that one. Gotta imagine a second Marvel Superheroes game will be released at some point. Too many characters/stories there not to make at least one or two more games.

No open world is a bummer. That was one of my favorite aspects of Marvel Super Heroes. Mine too. I sincerely hope that they make another Marvel Super Heroes 2 and retain the open world aspect of it. I loved flying around NYC with Iron Man.
I don't know where I heard it (probably read it somewhere online), but I believe a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is scheduled for sometime in 2015. Heavy rumor that LEGO Jurassic Park is on the docket too.

Just one prediction for me... Seth Rollins successfully cashes in Money In The Bank on Roman Reigns and leaves WrestleMania XXXI as WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
I'm absolutely sure Cena wins #16 at some point in 2015, but that seems more like a certainty than a predication.

Took advantage of eBay's 4X eBay Bucks promo today. Snagged me 12 new Pops (The four TMNT, Splinter, Shredder, three Ghostbusters, Winston/Ecto-1, Slimer, & Miss Piggy).
---
Those concepts looks awesome! Definitely will be getting the Beetlejuice, Rocko's Modern Life, and Ducktales ones.

Yeah, got some great deals on eBay and BigBadToyStore. Had to pay $25 for Belle, but she's retired, so I thought better now than when she gets more expensive. Everything else was $10 or under shipped.
Collecting these things is already kind of addicting. Reminds me of when I went crazy for Beanie Babies when I was younger.

Finally got my first Pops. Already want more and more.
Managed to garner enough to fix my Brother's car through selling my Elite figures, so I'm using the rest to up my Pop collection. Just ordered...
CM Punk, Macho Man, Undertaker, Triple H, Sheamus, Belle, Beast, Beetlejuice, Freddy Kruger, Jason Vorhees, Ariel The Little Mermaid, Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, The Crow, & Stay Puff Marshmallow Man.

I always thought these figures were kind of lame when I saw them online. Then I looked at this thread and completely changed my mind!! Crazy amont of variety with these figures. Tons of shows that I enjoy also have figures as well. I'm considering starting to collect these but looks like it can get pretty addictive!
I'm the exact same way. Thought they were stupid at first, then got the Undertaker one as a gift and totally fell for these little giant headed guys. Gonna order me a bunch once my Brother gets what he needs from selling my elite figures.

I guess I've been pretty lucky with Christmas gifts. Worst one I can think of was a tool set when I was 9 or ten. It sucked at the time, but over the years, I've actually used that tool set a LOT (and still have every piece to it), so I guess "Santa" knew what he was doing after all.

I've gotta say, I've really been enjoying the heck out of Ring Of Honor shows lately. For a while there (largely after Steen lost the titles), it wasn't much fun to watch. The past few months, however, have been excellent.

Stress eating. I get stressed about crap (a lot thanks to social anxiety) and end up mindlessly eating all sorts of crap I shouldn't.
Used to bite my nails like crazy too (as in so bad they'd bleed), but actually stopped that by painting my nails. They look like total crap if you bite them with polish on, so I tend not to nowadays.

I've gotta agree with the majority... Ziggler was on fire tonight (as was Rollins and Harper). I'm really hoping they continue that wave and let him win the Rumble then main event WrestleMania. Maybe Cena takes the title off Lesnar between now and then and we get Ziggler challenging Cena. Could still have Reigns vs Lesnar too, just not for the title. Not a doubt in my mind, Ziggler's ready for a real main event spot. They need to let him run with it.

Razor Ramon, Doink, JYD, Cesaro, Rusev, Barrett, Undertaker, Kane... All awesome!
Really wish I could pre-order all those. Unfortunately, I'm pretty well being forced to give up collecting (at least for a while), so 'tis a no go for me.

Can't see The Authority angel ending just yet (it's too much fun and wasn't yet run it's course IMO), but I'm flummoxed trying to figure out how Survivor Series ends. Easy answer says Authority wins, but Vince reinstates the fired guys later (or Triple H and Stephanie make them earn they're way back in). Part of me thinks Orton plays a big part though.

1990: I loved the concept of the survivors match. Undertaker debuts. Plus, The Gobbelty Gooker!!! 1987/1988/1989: I'm a total sucker for elimination style matches and these events were just loaded with stars and all elimination matches. 2002: First Elimination Chamber. And also some crazy pants from The Undertaker. 1997: This is more for nostalgia than anything. The event itself wasn't super great, but I literally sat with my mouth hanging open after it was over because I just couldn't believe what happened in the main event. 2001: I actually really liked the invasion storyline. Sure, it could have been better, but for what it was, it was pretty fun. 1998 almost took this spot. I love tournaments and it was a stellar event, but I've never been a fan of The Rock, so the ending of the tournament still chaps my craw a bit. LOL.

PS2 will always be my favorite controller. It's pretty well perfectly designed.
Lest favorite would be N64 or original Xbox. N64 always seemed to cramp my hand up after an hour or two. Xbox was just clunky IMO.

Yeah, I think Destination America is a pretty good network for TNA. It's a channel that has been slowly growing in popularity since it's inception. Obviously, it would have been best to stay on Spike TV, but that ship has apparently sailed now that a Spike TV official said, point blank, that they are not interested in TNA anymore. Like you say, on Destination America, they'd be the top rated show basically as soon as TNA fans find the channel. Probably have to be a few changes to the roster and how much some guys are paid, but I'd imagine it'll allow TNA a good bit of freedom in the on screen product. TNA kinda shot themselves in the foot in many ways, so they'll be almost like an NFL team in the midst of rebuilding. Hopefully the gap between now and their debut on the new network will afford them time to get everything in order and have a bang-up first show.

Word is TNA will be headed to Destination America (a channel in the Discovery network family). Destination America is in about 52% of American households (if you count Direct TV and Dish Network, which only offer it in upper tier packages). Highest rated show in Destination America was watched by about 440,000 people.
This news comes from Dave Meltzer, so take that for what it is (don't personally pay attention to how accurate the guy is)
