I'm kind of OK with it because I can repaint this belt easily enough, but others are going to be much harder and for the money spent, I shouldn't have to paint it. My BIGGEST problem with this belt is the missed opportunity of getting the design correct! Those side bars are still right next to the side plates leaving an enormous gap between them and the main plate. It looks stupid. On the real belt, the side plates, main plate and gold bars are all nicely spaced together. This is one gigantic fail, no other way to spin it. If you're going to mold it as one piece, then get the mold CORRECT!!  To me that is the worst part. If the design was correct it would still look pretty cool, but that's the clincher. They cheaped out, AND botched the design. Epic Fail... Totally. There are actually some benefits to being one piece, it will sit closer on the figs without the humps on the back and the plates will also not separate from the strap when you bend them. But one huge downfall is the lack of paint on the sides of each plate and that just won't happen because its too expensive to add in. But if there is ONE thing they could have done with a molded belt is make this one cool! They could have indented the leather sections of the main plate so the big W's were raised but they didnt. The fact they couldn't even space the bars right is gravely concerning. This belt actually could have been cool, but its one gigantic botch in every sense. |

I don't wish injury upon anyone, but heres hoping they find some way to get that briefcase off him because nobody is excited at the prospect of a Sheamus reign. The house show I saw on Saturday here in Australia was significantly better without Sheamus on it, FACT!

It wouldn't have been specific to the moment. Plus it opens up the door to another figure where he gets the entrance top complete with gold trim. They just need to get on it ASAP. The Seths are coming out too slowly, for the wait you would have wished or hoped they would have actually sculpted the belt instead of painting the logo on. They're all coming out too slowly let's just be real here. No elite Owens until late 2016? That's brutal Owens I can partially understand given all the new moulds. Seth however is really just a different paint job. His attire has so many minute details which just aren't being executed well enough especially given the long amount of time it is taking to turn it around. In the case of Owens, at least give us new molds to justify the wait. Seth is too long, it's been well over a year whereas Owens is still fairly fresh. |

It's to do with the whole NXT snob mentality. You see, apparently Superstars are only cool if you 'knew about them before they made the big time'. Apparently 'mainstream' isn't cool or impressive.
Ridiculous....

I really don't understand why we have gone into this feud. It's almost as if they really had no plans for Rollins because there wasn't really many logical opponent choices for summerslam. Cena was a ridiculous choice because he should be in a 3 way with owens and cesaro defending the US title. Part of me thinks they just thought "oh its our second biggest ppv summerslam - need to make cena vs whoever is the champ by default".

As someone who will admit I didnt watch his indy career, I watched him with little to no expectations and can 100% say Ive been impressed. He is a better talk than a huge majority of the current roster, does impressive things in the ring, and whilst his gear is simple, it fits the fighter character he is portraying. He has had a couple odd moments like when he got caught on the chair on Raw, but he always recovers and responds in such a convincing fashion - a true sign of a veteran or great ability to adapt in promo situations.

I really really don't understand why we have Arnie in. I get his relationship with them, but it's totally irrelevant as an inclusion. I guess they weren't kidding around with that celebrities to be included survey. Id rather take HHH's terminator gear from 31 than Arnie who I'd use maybe once at a maximum.

Given Austin is the cover star, he must have a showcase. They lessen to do one old school and one more modern one so hopefully that means there was no hogan showcase to begin with as the old school one would've been Austin.
2K must be furious that the only game in the wwe franchise to boast the largest roster ever will be without arguably the biggest star ever.
It'd be like releasing NBA without Lebron. The game will be so thorough but yet missing a fairly critical ingredient.

Exactly. I have tickets to the show and I'm thinking WWE are going to have to change plans and put someone like Flair or whatnot on the tour instead. They've promoted his appearance for months and if they can him at the last minute with no replacement, fans here are gonna be furious. I'm glad I saw him at WM30 and 31, theres no chance he'll be at the biggest of all time anymore and he won't be making it on the Aus tour. Flair went last year right? It would have to be Flair again. Anyway have fun at the show, hate how they don't come to Adelaide anymore. Hope they put one of the shows on the Network. Yeah he was special ref in the Kane and roman match. Would be annoying to bring him again. Could only ever hope they use Brock or taker to make it up to us but they won't. There will be a lot of disappointed fans though, he was their main promotional tool for this tour. Thanks mate! Would be cool if they did put the show in, especially since they're so selective with Australian cities these days. |

Ohhhhh s#!t, Hogan was booked as guest GM for the tour of Australia starting in a few weeks. He was a huge selling point for that, how WWE gonna fix this? At least this run we got some good Hogan moments. Messing up live in the SUPERDOME and having a laugh and owning up to it. His birthday celebration thing. Some Hall of Fame speaker things. nWo rides again at WrestleMania. And he was okay on Tough Enough. Shame to see him  something up. Exactly.

No way. They couldn't even use the ass for the "kiss me arse" match let alone refer to Taker as a Badass. ABA taker really has no point in current WWE and the point of him now is sporadic appearance in the classic undertaker gimmick because it's the most storied one. He could well be on his last run anyway, no point changing it up now, should finish up as the deadman.

This is MAJOR. Seriously, we haven't seen censorship like this since Benoit. Makes me think there is more than the racist rant unless they just felt that and the sex tape were all too much. This isn't good for anybody though. And WM32 now takes a hefty hit.

Looks like Nash lost height and Hal gained some but at least Nash is still taller than him in the basics.

I think the Ascension suck but they do have awesome figures. They do look a little too lean though, I'm inclined to agree they need bigger torsos, Connor is fairly big.

Hopefully this isn't true. Hogan is fairly valuable to have right now, too soon to lose him from anything WWE related.

Nothing new at my local TRU. They had a few old sig series (?) on sale - the rock, Rey and cena from memory. They also had no Razors left which I find hard to believe given there were 4 still on the shelves a little over a week ago. Yeah the TRU catalogue mentioned only those 3 superstars were on sale. Random. |
