I'll give respect where it's due to John Cena. He took a heck of a beating last night. But please people, let's not fool ourselves into thinking this was anything but another way to make John Cena the most awesomest, bestest person who ever did live. Last night was nothing but a way to make it seem like Cena can't beat Brock and thus "Shock The World" when he "Overcomes The Odds" and beats Lesnar in the rematch (which will probably happen at Hell In A Cell) to regain HIS title. Lesnar's not going to hold it until WrestleMania. Lesnar's not going to work a bunch of extra dates between now and then. And WWE's not going to make a brand new mega star out of whoever beats Lesnar for the strap. It'll go back to Cena the same way it always has and always will until he retires and WWE is forced to find someone else.
I desperately hope I'm wrong. I'm begging WWE to have it be anyone... ANYONE, except John Cena who takes the title from Lesnar. But I'm ready for the inevitable and I suggest you all prepare yourselves for it too.

It'll be Cena who beats him. It always comes back to Cena. Last night was nothing but a setup to make Cena the be all and end all of WWE Legends. He'll win his 16th World Championship by overcoming the odds and proving that he's even stronger that he was before. SuperCena will return. Don't worry little ones. Your hero isn't gone forever. Every hero gets beat sometimes, but the best always come back stronger and better than before. Cena's already been touted as the greatest champion in wrestling history, who not go ahead and have him beat Lesnar to get HIS belts back so that WWE can officially crown John Cena as the greatest human being to ever live.
Seriously... Does anyone actually think it's NOT going to be Cena who beats Brock? Really? I'm all for anyone... ANYONE ...except John Cena doing it. Even Roman Reigns, who is basically just John Cena 2.0... Randy Orton, CM Punk, The Undertaker, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt, Cesaro, Ziggler, Bryan, hell, have Triple H beat him for the belt if you want... ANYONE but John Cena. Unfortunately, it WILL be Cena. We'd all like to think WWE has finally moved on, but we all KNOW that haven't and won't. Not until Cena retires and they have no choice but to find someone else.
I think the perfect scenario is for Undertake to come back and avenge his WrestleMania loss by defeating Brock Lesnar at Hell In A Cell, winning the title, and then officially retiring as champion ether the next night or at Survivor Series.
But let's be real here. John Cena's going to win it back in the next PPV or two. There's no way WWE lets a part timer be champion until WrestleMania, no way they DON'T have the title defended at multiple PPVs between now and the, and I highly doubt Brock Lesnar has agreed to work a significant number of added dates that would be required for him to be champion that long. So rest assured kiddies... John Cena will right the terrible, terrible wrong that happened at SummerSlam and he'll, once again, overcome the odds to slay the beast that is Brock, win championsho[ number sixteen, and take his rightful place as greatest human being of all the times.

I know I'm more likely than not going to be in the minority, but I feel like Zack Ryder grossly overachieved for his United States Championship run and brief stint in a major storyline. I've never seen what was so great about the guy and IMO, his character is just too much of a goof ball to be considered main event caliber. He was never going to be or meant to be at that level as long as he was all "Long Island Iced-Z"-ing it up. I give the guy major, major props for getting himself over and inciting the chants that forced WWE to take notice, but it's always been pretty clear that Ryder, while a good hand in the ring, just doesn't have what's needed to be a top-flight talent in WWE. He's a solid mid-carder at best. IMO, he should be proud of the achievements he's had and count himself lucky that he's still employed there while other, far more talented, wrestlers have been released. I do think he should be used a bit better. Dude deserves to be on TV regularly and even pick up a few wins now and again.

I spent most my academic life in the Catholic school system of a small town in Wisconsin. The middle school I attended was called Notre Dame and unfortunately for me, one of the books we had to read for English class was The Hunchback Of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo (fantastic novel BTW). Kids being how they are and me being the lone fat kid in the entire school, I was mocked and called Quasimodo for pretty much my entire time there (though I'd always been picked-on and teased, even before then). Later on in high school, I adopted Quazimoto as my alter ego of sorts (changed the 's' and 'd' to a 'z' and 't' because I thought it looked nice). Anytime I needed to have a thick skin because I was getting ridiculed or shunned, I'd "transform" into Quazimoto, who was much tougher than I was. Then, years later, I'd do the same and channel my inner bell ringer in order to tap into a darker side of myself when writing my novels and (bad) poetry. So when it came time to choose a user name on this forum, Quazimoto seemed like the natural choice.

Love the pics so a big THANK YOU to anyone who posted them.
Vader, BAF Bryan, and BAF Undertaker are must buys for me (already pre-ordered LOD)
Tis a damn shame the USA Warrior is a basic. Definitely would have bought him as an elite.
Kinda torn on Edge. Need me an Edge, but not thrilled about the headscan. Gotta wait to see more pics from Rinsgisde when the pre-orders go up.
Does anyone else find the new logo to be totally awful on toy packaging (not bad otherwise though IMO)?

Do I WANT Brock Lesnar to win the title? Yes and No.
I WANT Lesnar to destroy Cena at SummerSlam, then go on to actually be around as champion, defending the belt at PPVs until he loses it to a returning Undertaker at Survivor Series. Then 'Taker retires the next night and a tournament is held to crown a new champion. I WANT to see Undertaker get the win back from Lesnar, have the last laugh, and ride off into the sunset as "The Man" they way he should and deserves to ride off. Of course, we don't always get what we want.
Cena or Lesnar, they're both equally awful choices IMO, so like every presidential election for the past 20 years, it's a choice between the lesser of two evils. Given that, I'd hope Cena keeps it. At least we know he gives a crap about the business (I give Brock credit for being honest in acknowledging he's only in it for the money though) and will be there. Plus, it keeps Cena away from that golden number 16 (it will be a sad, sad day when - not if - he ties and then inevitably breaks Flair's record).
But, I feel like most of you. Lesnar is more than likely going to win the titles at some point. Might as well be now and get it over with. Just let it be a decent match and let the storyline of who he eventually drops it to be interesting.

I must be the only one in the entire world who loves the tag belts.
Nope. I like 'em too... Though, I do find it a bit ironic that the design of them calls to mind ancient Roman soldiers and gladiators, yet they exist in an era in which a match is paused if someone gets busted open a little bit. I do love the circular main plate and really like the copper color.

It's probably just a case of the mailman scanning it and setting it back down, then forgetting to actually deliver it then. Most likely it's sitting at the local distribution center now and will get resorted and delivered Monday. If your schedule allows, I'd suggest just waiting and see if it's delivered Monday. If not, call right away after the mail comes that day.
FYI - I've never had much luck getting answers or info from my local post office (always helps to go in person if you can, rather than call), but have always gotten at least a reply by sending a message through the USPS website (best to be very thorough when doing that to speed up the process). Most times they called me about it within a day.

Was typing while you replied - Good to hear the tracking's been updated. Frustrating to have to wait longer, I'm sure, but at least you know it's not lost.

Check with your neighbors first IMO. Had the same thing happen to me a few times when my regular mailman has a day off and they sent is normal replacement. It's possible your mail carrier just dropped it off at the wrong house. Also check if you have a house your neighborhood with a similar street number (ie a house at 113 Fox Lane when yours is 123 Fox Lane). Also possible the mailman scanned it, then set it down to pick up something else, but forgot about the package. I'd imagine any mail carrier worth their salt would notice that pretty quick though and go back to deliver the package, but it's possible they were lazy and just took it back to the post office.
If your neighbors don't have it, give the post office a call and check up on it. USPS is pretty reliable in my experience, but mistakes do happen.

Pointless or not, I don't care a bit. Anytime Jericho wants to pop in for a few months is fine by me because you know he's a guys who actually cares about the business (as evident by his willingness and desire to work with and put over the younger guys). What's more, even now, Jericho is ten times better than 95% of the roster.

Anyone but Cena would please me. Unfortunately, if either Lesnar or Bryan are going to be in the title match at SummerSlam, I can't see anyone but Cena winning Sunday.

Dean Ambrose's new 'gear' reminds me that I never really liked wrestlers who competed in street clothes. It does kind of work for Ambrose, but it just seems cheap. Like the guy doesn't care enough to actually buy some wrestling trunks or tights or something.

Man, I forgot how freakin' awesome Drew McIntyre's theme was. Both the original and remix are perfect wrestling entrance music.
I've always loved that short lived Eddie Guerrero heel theme too.

Three tough choices this round. Only one that was easy for me was Depp over Denzel. DW is great. JD is pretty much a league of his own.
(1) Johnny Depp
(1) Leonardo DiCaprio
(2) Kevin Spacey
(2) Tom Hanks
