The prices we get charged in the UK are absolutely mind-numbingly ridiculous, and they just continue to go up and up. No figure is worth £33. I think even £20 is much higher than it should be. Smyths constantly reduces prices that they started too high. I don't see why they don't just charge a reasonable amount to begin with. The biggest reason why I'm not a collector is simply because I can't afford too, because in today's world figures cost far too much than they should. Of course prices in the toy industry have shot up across the board, but WWE figures have risen far higher than other lines. When I see that figures cost roughly half in the US what they cost in the UK, that just blows my mind.

It's such a hard choice.
RAW held probably the worst PPV I've ever seen with Fastlane. Maybe I need to give it a rewatch to appreciate it, but I remember being so disappointed with it at the time. However, No Mercy and TLC were both pretty good. The rest were solid, albeit unmemorable.
On the other hand, SmackDown Live's PPVs always felt disappointing because of the Jinder Mahal experiment, which kind of ruined them.
I think I'll give it to RAW.

Yes. She's talented and her performances make her so likable.

I for one was happy to see Ziggler win the United States title. WWE have been booking Ziggler as a complete loser for such a long time, it's so nice to finally see him win something again.
Also, even though I had already watched CoC, it's not great to advertise spoilers in the title so soon following an event. Discussing spoilers inside a thread is fine, but putting spoilers in the title is a trend that needs to stop. You don't even have to enter the board to see the spoiler.

I really hope it doesn't end up being so serious that he has to retire. I would definitely miss him.

Thanks for sharing, great to see them early. Was kind of hoping we'd get 'Live for the Moment' and 'No More Words' for Matt and Jeff respectively, but doesn't look like it'll be the case. Ah well. Their entrances look great either way, and their models aren't bad either. Also found the same channel upload their tag team entrance (with custom attires): |

I like the concept...but why put it on Facebook? Why not put it on YouTube? I would watch this if it was on YouTube or the WWE Network, but I have zero interest in keeping up to date via Facebook.

So does anyone have a full list of who each of the new moves are intended for? Would be nice to know, always wondered why 2K never compiles a list themselves.

I would definitely say that Nia Jax is underrated. To me, she is unique and really stands out in the women's division, and I've never seen her have a bad match. When you consider where she's gotten and developed in such a relatively short space of time, that's impressive. But she doesn't seem to have as many fans as a lot of other WWE superstars, especially when you compare social media follower counts, if we're judging "underrated" by the audience. If we're judging "underrated" by the company, then you could also argue Nia Jax, considering she's never been allowed a title reign, despite how much she's chased it, and she's not currently doing anything meaningful, storyline-wise.
I would have said Sami Zayn, but his recent push shows that he is valued. Aiden English being put with Rusev means that he's given the opportunity to entertain (which he does brilliantly).

Terrible news, but I'm shocked that he's still capable of wrestling anywhere at all, given his risky style.

Okay, I know that it's wrestling, and things are easily disregarded and forgotten. But am I the only one who found it odd that Shinsuke made the save for Orton? Didn't Orton betray Shinsuke after a tag team match only a month or two ago?

They've made her face way too fat, but I can see a little bit of Becky in the facial expression. Honestly, apart from rare occurrences such as Nia Jax and AJ Lee, Mattel just cannot nail female likenesses. They're just awful at it. None of Becky Lynch's figures have resembled Becky Lynch. None of Sasha Banks' figures have resembled Sasha Banks. They couldn't nail Layla, they still cannot nail Lana, they still cannot nail Natalya. I could go on.
The point is: Mattel just cannot get female likenesses right, for the most part. Not even close.

According to The Sun's website these are the TRU shops facing the chop. Oh no, S****horpe?! Real shame, but then again, not bought much from there over the past few years. |

Women's battle royals do not have a history of going well....girls falling out accidentally. Girls winning accidentally. People botching and eliminating themselves.....it's been ugly. In all fairness though, I don't think you can compare a divas era battle royal to a women's battle royal today. As we're all aware, in the divas era the majority of divas had a severe lack of talent. Today's female superstars do not have that problem. |

I've submitted my responses. Always very happy to offer my view on women's wrestling. Such a fascinating subject, and one I will never tire of fighting for.

I would scrap 205 Live, and divide the roster up into two groups. Group A being the stars who already have personality and a strong character, and Group B being the stars who don't have a strong character, or haven't really been given the chance to show personality. Sprinkle Group A onto RAW and SmackDown Live, and send Group B to NXT.

as they added mini trons on the last patch is there any chance we can get updated themes for Jordan usos etc?? Although to my knowledge they've never updated themes or trons with patches in the past, they could always start doing it. |
