I always think back to the Invasion angle and think about ideas that would have improved it or just simple what ifs. I've wondered what would have happened if Triple H weren't injured, or if any of the big names from WCW were involved. However, just recently, I realized that Big Show was around, but he was used as a mid-card WWF guy. Why was the Big Show not used as "The Giant" from WCW. What were they thinking here. I remember people like Test and Christian being a part of the Alliance at one point and they weren't even in WCW/ ECW. Do you think that the Big Show should have been a part of the Alliance instead?

The beach balls are downright disrespectful. I am glad they are banned. For those who are all for it, you must not have been at the event. I was at SummerSlam and it was distracting. I like how some people are saying that beach balls wouldn't be a problem if WWE "put out a better product." It has absolutely nothing to do with that. First off, it was done during one of the best matches of the night. Secondly, People get distracted by anything going on in the crowd. All of a sudden I saw a bunch of people looking around and I, myself, was wondering what was going on and it took me out of the match. It had nothing to do with the WWE product. Also, for those that think "it is all in good fun," there is a time and a place for everything. A wrestling event is not the place for beach balls. Why would you pay money to go to a WRESTLING event just so you can hit a beach ball. It is not part of the show. The talent is trying to put on a performance for the crowd and that is how we treat them? Total garbage.

Why do they even do these preshows? These interviews are painful...

It seems a little excessive to ask him to sign 14 items. It would have been nice enough for him to sign two.

How many times can JBL say that these are two great strikers?

Can someone explain how these work? Can you get your own item signed or does it need to be the 8x10 that they give you? Also it says photo taken by a professional photographer. Is there no option of taking a photo with your own camera?

I am actually disappointed by this list. I wanted to meet Styles and Alexa. I know Alexa is on here but I have no interest in meeting Naomi and Asuka and they will take up part of that time. I like that Angle is on the list but I don't think I will travel out of my way to see him. Agreed. Don't want to be rude, but would probably just walk past Naomi. Maybe have Asuka sign my NXT belt. But honestly, if I could skip them to spend more time with Miss Bliss, I'd gladly do it. I just found out my last chance in Florida to meet Alexa this year went up in smoke as they cancelled Orlando's Wizard World. So basically, I'm banking on Summerslam or Ringside Fest. I'm hoping RSF as I really am not a fan of WWE's meet and greets. They move you so quickly. When I met Sting, Flair, Paige and Daniel Bryan at non WWE conventions, we could chat a bit and have some personalized items. At AXXESS, with the exception of Becky, no one was able to personalize. AJ Styles even got chastised for attempting it. I wish RSF would announce some names before the presale. I mean this trip will cost me at least a thousand dollars (Have to take off work, fly myself and Fiance to New York, get a hotel, pay New York prices on everything, and pay for tickets), so I want to make the best of it, which means RSF may be the best option. I hear you. No offense to Naomi and Asuka but I solely want to meet Bliss. And I am also going to wait for Ringside Fest. I had a great time there last year and would much rather spend my money there. I didn't know that there was a problem personalizing stuff at their meet and greets. They had no problem personalizing at Ringside Fest.

Everyone needs to get over this whole necessary heel turn business. Just because a character currently isn't working, doesn't mean they need to turn heel. These characters are not working simply because of the horrible writing and creative "backing" them. There is no reason that Bayley's loveable character couldn't work on the main roster just because loveable doesn't work. That makes no sense. It is because they do not know how to work with her character. The same goes for Sami. The writing is abysmal. He does not need a heel turn now just to "save" him. Oh FFS are we still blaming everything we dont like on writers? The same writers who got a guy as green as baby crap (Braun) over as hell? The same writers who have gotten 2 NXT afterthought females (Alexa & Carmella) more over then the "big 4"? The same writers that can take Sasha Banks from a title contender to extra on 205 live back to a title contender in the matter of a month? Here's the Budweiser cold hard fact. Bayley isnt connecting with the fans. Its not the writers, its not the fans, its her and her shtick that nobody cares about. Nobody cares that Bayley went to wrestling events as a kid. Nobody cares about Bayley hugs or hair ties. Nobody cares about inflatable Bayley buddies. Bayley has all the in ring talent in the world. Nobody can deny that but if your character doesnt connect to fans then the fans arent going to care about you. This isnt NXT any more. You're not in front of an audience of 1000 people who will eat up any garbage that you throw at them. Bayley NEEDS a change! She needs a drastic change. She needs to completely reinvent her character. There's only 2 ways to do this. 1st is to turn heel and the 2nd is to go back to NXT to redevelop a new face shtick and hope you dont get forgotten about and/or lost in the shuffle. You're not getting my point. I do agree that she needs a change, but there are not only two options. Just because your character is not currently working doesn't mean you have to go back to NXT or turn heel. That's very ignorant. You can "reinvent" your character without having to turn. ANd you are contradicting yourself in your own post. You're saying that Sasha was able to go from title contender to 205 Live to title contender without the crutch of the writers. Well, she also was able to do that without having to change her character. Sasha did not turn heel during that time period at all. Same with Bliss. The only one that did that was Carmella and I don't know what show you are watching but Carmella is not over...

Bayleys loveable, hugable character was never going to work on the main roster. We all know that. The best thing for Bayley is it keep letting her frustration build up where being the "nice girl" doesnt get her anywhere and then doing a heel change. In the same instance, if Alexa continues to get positive crowd reactions they can look to eventually moving her to a face/tweener face. Everyone needs to get over this whole necessary heel turn business. Just because a character currently isn't working, doesn't mean they need to turn heel. These characters are not working simply because of the horrible writing and creative "backing" them. There is no reason that Bayley's loveable character couldn't work on the main roster just because loveable doesn't work. That makes no sense.

Hi all. The Pre-sale for NXT Brooklyn III is supposed to start tomorrow with the regular sale starting Friday. I went on StubHub today and there are tickets already available. Are the tickets legitimate? How is StubHub selling tickets prior to the general and presale?

Has anyone ever done one of the summerslam meet and greets beforehand? I was wondering if anyone could shed some details on it. Is it worth the money? Did you enjoy the experience? Is it a long wait time? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I think this is a really underrated series. I really like most of these figures. Both Abyss figures are great. The CTL 2-pack for the MCMG is awesome. They have some of the best women figures ever made. Gail KIm is spot on. Velvet Sky and Daffney is great too. I am a fan of the RA Lethal and Suicide too.

I am really not trying to add to all of the complaining that I see on the boards all the time, but there are quite a few problems that I had with the build-ups to WrestleMania. I will just name a few:
AJ Styles vs. Shane I really enjoyed this match and I was actually looking forward to it beforehand. I was never one to talk down about this match because it isn't good enough for AJ. My problem is how his title reign ended beforehand. I do not believe that Cena should have won the title at the Rumble, just to lose it to Bray a month later. If the plan was to always give Bray the belt, then Bray should have won it in the Chamber with Aj walking in as the champion. I am not saying that Cena should have never become a 16-time world champion, but it should have been built up more and it should have happened where he could have a lengthy reign afterwards.
Alexa vs. Smackdown Women's Roster First off, matches like these are always garbage. You can smell from a mile away that it was slapped together to get everyone on the card. This should have been a 1 on 1 match with Naomi AND ALexa should not have lost the title until WrestleMania. Naomi should have lost the first time around and then finally win the title in her hometown at Mania. Instead, Naomi wins, gets hurt, Alexa wins for the time being, and Naomi wins again.
Bray vs. Randy I thought this feud went the opposite direction then what would make sense as a cohesive story. I do not believe that Bray or Orton should have won the rumble. It did not make sense for Orton to win the rumble before turning on Bray. And there is no tension int he meantime because Bray was not champion yet. The only way that would have worked correctly is if Bray was champion at the time of the Rumble. Instead, Bray should have won at the chamber, and Orton could have simply turned on him. Simple as that. There was no need to throw another Rumble victory on Orton. Also, they messed up Harper during this feud. Best case scenario would have been to have Harper in the match as a three-way.
Lesnar vs. Goldberg This is an easy one... This should NOT have been for the title. This never needed to be for the title. The story was there. Plain and simple. Having the title in this match ruined the Jericho/ Owens storyline and has now put the Universal Title picture on hold.
Smackdown Title Picture They should have saved the Usos title win for WrestleMania. I don't care fi they used it for the pre-show, but ti should have been somewhere on the card. Or, at least have the rematch ont he card.
Jericho vs. Owens And lastly, what should have been the best feud of the year... This has been building for months, and for those that say that this match didn't need the title are wrong. This entire feud was based around the title. Jericho was constantly saving his friend in title matches to keep the Universal title. AND Owens also helped Jericho win the US title. This match should have been for both titles, or they should have found some way to get the US title off of Jericho before the match. There current feud over the US title matches no sense because the US title was never the focus of this feud. In my opinion, Jericho should have been the one to win the Rumble. He would challenge Owens for the title and win at Wresltemania. They would continue to feud until Jericho leaves for his tour and Owens would leave the feud as champion. This would end at the perfect time for Balor to return and challenge Owens for the title he never actually lost. You could even throw Seth in the mix afterwards since he was in that match with Balor for the title.
Thoughts?

The shake up really made this feud worse than before. How come Bray never got a rematch for his title? Makes no sense. They wanted Bray to win this match, but still have Orrin keep the belt... so I guess we just ignore that it was originally for the title.

What teams would make a list of the top tag teams to never step inside a WWE ring? Right of the top of my head, I would have to include the Harlem Heat, the Young Bucks, and the American Wolves. I include the Wolves because they never made it past NXT. What other teams would you include on this list?

I am sure that everyone here has had one of the ice cream bars from the WWF days. And we would all probably agree that they were great... The other day, I was thinking about how CM Punk would talk about them and everyone thought the WWE would bring the bars back. I remember that CM Punk even had a shirt with the ice cream bar on it. My question is why did they never bring them back? And I really question it now because of how far the WWE has gone to promote NEW Day centric foods. The Booty-Os were released with eases and were a big success, and now they are talking about "New Day Pops." Why do you think the WWE never went ahead with re-releasing the ice cream bars?

Really sad to hear this. I tried to meet him at WrestleCon but I had trouble finding him. I heard some people no showed and I eventually told myself that he must have been one of them. I was a big fan of 3-minute warning and thought that the team's run was too short. RIP

Hi everyone. I have a question regarding the plaques that are sold on WWE Shop. I attended NXT Takeover Orlando and I have been waiting to purchase the plaques from the event. However, I checked the other day, and they have the WrestleMania ones up but not the NXT ones. I'm worried that maybe they aren't releasing them. Does anyone know or think that they will get released eventually? Also, has anyone purchased one of these plaques before and have any feedback about them? Thank you!
