So basically, me thinking I've seen Taker's last match twice now is me being naive. The man is doing more of a disservice to his retirement than Ric Flair did. At least very few saw Flair wrestle in TNA. Taker is retiring multiple times. Might as well just say it's a retirement tour at this point. Just my theory, but I took his gear "disappearing" to mean he's no longer retired, though he never said so. I think the end of WM33 was that Taker didn't know if he would be able to still go after the surgeries he was going to have. So if we never saw him again, that was his retirement

WWE- MOTY for me. Not sure how a heel Nak will go over but I'm glad AJ got his WM Moment. Raw Womens- That gorilla press bump was weird but Alexa made up for it in the finish. Glad Nia won. I think this is 98 Kane and Alexa regains tomorrow. Universal- Crappy. From the crowd, to Brock, to the finish. Should not have closed. Honestly wanted RR to win just so we had a champ who shows up and puts in effort. Who do you guys think will slay the beast? No thoughts on Braun and Little Nicky? I knew I'd miss a match! Disappointed that there wasn't a return. Bar deserved better in my opinion.

Overall thoughts:
IC was great. Didn't have a problem with any of these 3 winning.
SD Women's- Decent match I was rooting for Charlotte but still thought the ending of the streak couldve been a little better.
US- Seriously F them for not giving it to Rusev.
Mixed Tag- Given Rousey being green and Kurt still being a little rusty I think it was a good match. HHH seemed to be leading and I can't say that was a bad decision.
SD Tag- Good for as short as it was. Hopefully BB get a long reign.
Undertaker vs Cena- Taker looked good. Disappointed that it was a squash but I guarantee we get a real match in the future.
DB/SM vs KO/SZ- Felt they could have done more but with Shane being injured and DBry being in his first match back, they did okay. Interested in where Kami goes.
WWE- MOTY for me. Not sure how a heel Nak will go over but I'm glad AJ got his WM Moment.
Raw Womens- That gorilla press bump was weird but Alexa made up for it in the finish. Glad Nia won. I think this is 98 Kane and Alexa regains tomorrow.

Except for the painted flesh on the thighs that figure is near perfect. I hate how easily it chips, my first elite Neville looks terrible. #1 Your profile pic and username made me legit "lol" #2 I agree! Haven't gotten E55 but my E42(?) looks like he has Orton's underboob tattoo on the front of both thighs

Not to go too far off topic but why would wwe be in a rush to replace Enzo but still move forward with the Carmella/ Ellsworth two pack. Ellsworth and Enzo were released right around the same time after all . My guess would be because Ellsworth was released on good terms.

I think that the 2004 Era scan works great. It’s what I use on my Taker. Same here. His head is on the WM32 Elite body. Almost exactly what he looked like last year. There's also that one basic scan with the wild eyes that looks kinda how he did during his 2015 run.

I really want them to release an Ambrose without a tank top. Or maybe a cloth one. All the other figures are GOODT. Seriously! Especially since his shirt usually gets ripped off. A shirtless mold with 1 or 2 cloth shirts would be the perfect Ambrose figure. That Seth, on the other hand, is amazing.

At this point if I had to guess, I'd go for Roman Reigns vs The Rock for the Universal Championship. I would save that for WM 38 just because every 10 years Rock defeats the face of an era 18- Hogan 28-Cena 38-Reigns

I'm hoping to see Hall of Champions 2, Elite NXT 4, this Epic Moments Shield set, and possibly Elite 61

Rise Above Hate will always be my favorite. But is anyone else secretly hoping we get a Rise Above Cancer elite one day?

Not to be that guy, but I just pulled the trigger on ordering E57 just in case.
Hopefully it isn't as bad as it seems and he gets a warning. As long as it wasn't something illegal, he shouldn't get a Wellness Strike, right?

With those measurements it'll fit but you won't have room for accessories or play.

Robinson Township Target has NXT Elite 3. I grabbed a Bobby Roode. There was a Reigns flashback, Rusev flashback, and 1-2 more Roodes. Unfortunately no Ember. Target in West Mifflin had Elite 56 Joe, The Club, and Gallagher. If any of you guys & gals see an E 55 Undertaker let me know! I'm in the Pittsburgh area. I’m in Pittsburgh too and I haven’t seen E55 ANYWHERE. Seems everyone skipped it. That's what I was thinking. Saw E54 and 56. Never saw 55 though

Ordered about a week or 2 ago since I had extra and figured this set would sell out again. I wasn't expecting the shipment until the 28th. Extremely excited! After 8 years I'll finally have the Hardy's

He probably only wore it for a few weeks at best after WM 20, but I've always loved shaggy hair '04 Taker with the bandana under his black brim hat. Glad I'm not the only one. Definitely love this look on Taker

Maybe this has been answered already but is that Epic Moments going to be a 3 figure set?

Did he buy 10 knowing they were the flashbacks?
