I really like this one. Hell they all look like what I was talking about in my earlier post. I would only suggest that the globe have some continents visible, to make it look more like he world, as apposed to just a random looking globe. Other than that bravo on the photoshopping!

I'm glad the spinner belt is gone, but this belt looks more like an intercontinental belt. It doesn't look prestigious enough to be a world championship belt, let alone the WWE title. I think if they had made the center plate round & a globe in the background of the WWE log, it would look better.

Great story, and hopefully many years to come enjoying wrestling!
Andre turning on Hogan on Piper's Pit in 1987 leading to their WM3 match was what got me hooked. After that I couldn't get enough wrestling.

When I saw Dixie Carter posted this on facebook last week: "I will be making a major announcement on IMPACT tomorrow (8/7c) This will change everything for our wrestlers, company, & YOU our audience!" This was my reaction Why? Because every other "Major Announcement" has been a waste of all our time. While all those announcements might have been a step in the right direction for the company, very few have been life altering events for a TNA fan. At least that's how it's pimped to us. I think it's great that TNA is going on the road from now on. But all they really had to do to get my & everyone else's attention was to have Dixie come out onto the stage during the show, have the announcers act like this was not planned and have no idea why she is out there. Then have her apologize for interrupting the show, and then make the announcement. Hell most people might have had the same kind of reaction they had when they announced Kurt Angle had signed.......ok not that big, but you get my point.

I think the point that Bret is trying to make is the measure of a "Great Wrestler" is not just in the matches you have with other big name stars, but the great matches you put on with everyone else. People in this thread have listed some really good matches, but they were with guys like The Rock, SCSA, Foley, etc. all guys who were above him at the time. They elevated him, not the other way around, or he was at their level when he faced others.
But how many guys can you list, that after having a great match with Triple H, were elevated to the main event based solely on their match with him, and are still at that top spot? That to me, and probably the greats like Bret, is why he is considered a good wrestler, who has had good matches versus being considered a great wrestler with great matches.

I'm glad that Brock will be sticking around in some capacity (Who knows what his contract is actually for). Every time he's on WWE TV it gets my full attention.
As for the argument that The Rock is back for the fans vs. Brock doing it for the money.....LOL you guys don't sound any different then the "It's still real to me damn it!" guy. Seriously, and pay attention..........EVERYONE IN WRESTLING IS IN IT FOR THE MONEY. If they weren't they wouldn't be doing it. It's a job, a really awesome job, but ultimately still a job when it comes right down to it.
As for why Rock is getting crapped on about winning the belt, it's really not about him winning, it's about how CM Punk held the title for so long only to be beat in such a disparaging way. WWE will get their money for 'mania, and for the time Rock is the champ, but what happens after he leaves? The guy that held the title for 434 straight days has been made to look weak, and everyone that he beat now looks weaker. That's the problem.

Complete idiocy. They could have let Punk win, and then make mega bucks on The Rock being in an Elimination Chamber match. Punk could then go on to say that he only lost because of 5 guys beat him in the chamber. But hey, I guess loosing to a guy who has had 2 matches in 10 years makes Punks title run look completely legit. I am fine with The Rock winning the belt. I just think the WWE missed the boat on making a lot more money. And that's what Vince is all about.

Sting is one of the few wrestlers that non-wrestling fans can name off the top of their heads. For a guy that never worked for the biggest wrestling promotion in the world, that's a big deal. As a fan, like the most fans, wished he had gone to the WWE at one point in his career, but at the same time it's nice to know that I've seen one of the greatest careers that didn't involve Vince McMhaon. Oh and Nash is right about "Not being a Yankee legend if you never played for the Yankees." But you can be a baseball legend as well without ever playing for the Yankees too.

I wanted Matt,Luke,and Jeriamia(cant spell his name but he was the mma fighter) to get contracts with WWE. what season was that? Last season. And I thought Luke should have won. Andy was too lame by comparison, and needed a lot of time in FCW before he was ever going to be on WWE tv.

I loved this shirt when I saw him wearing it on TLC on Sunday. Now that I have seen the back I definitely want to get it!

I remember watching that live and thinking "That guy looks awfully familiar." Then after getting a few more shots of his face on TV it dawned on me that it was "Mean" Mark Callus from WCW. Probably the first time I realized that wrestlers worked for both companies under different gimmicks, LOL.

First thing came to mind was this:
Totally thought it was legit until Austin comes on screen cutting a promo.
Punk's promo last year come to mind next. But even then I figured they allowed it to happen. But still in that moment you question what you ar watching is being allowed on TV, thus believing its legit.

I never saw him wrestle and didn't care to but I did enjoy him on Legends of Wrestling Roundtable. Agreed, and in all the DVDs he appeared in also. RIP Mike Graham

Main Event airs on Wednesday... This.....and I watched the first episode and aside from wanting to see the Punk/Shemus match the show is pointless. In a month or so it'll be Velocity or worse. But Kofi won? I might watch that.

You're seriously telling not one champion since 1987 has held the title over a year in a single reign EXCEPT John Cena & Savage? That's God Damn Crazy... I'd love to see that list in terms of collective reigns. It would look ALOT DIFFERENT. lol For the hell of it, and I was bored and didn't have anything else to do.....I looked it up, LOL Here's the guys not listed that are ahead of Cena on this list: 1) Bruno Sammartino (1963-71): 2803 days(Held title for over seven years, a record for professional wrestling world champions.) 2) Bob Backlund (1977-84) : 2135 days 3) Hulk Hogan (1984-88): 1474 days 4) Bruno Sammartino (1973–77): 1237 days 5) Pedro Morales (1971-73): 1027 days *Also "Superstar" Billy Graham held the title from (1977-78) for 296 days.
