I can totally understand the reasoning behind it. Even for people who don't, it's not a big deal in any case.

Hey. So we all know about the current rumour that Vince McMahon has lost faith in Finn Balor, believing that he is not "over enough" to face Brock Lesnar. For anyone that does not follow Finn Balor on Twitter, or just doesn't use Twitter at all, Finn has been showing how much of a genius he is. These are simply too good not to share: Here is a current WWE.com poll on who should be next to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal title:  So there we go, Finn definitely deserves an award for sheer hilarity. |

Bought WWE 2K18 Digital Deluxe Edition on Steam for £33 last night. Found that it ran like crap, so I bought a new gaming laptop to run it well for £1100. MSI Apache Pro GE62VR.

You have to buy the Kurt Angle pack, but it is available to purchase for everyone. It'll be on your system's respective store. |

Didn't he say not too long ago that he would never return on TV, and that he would only come back to do live events?
Either way, it's nice that he changed his mind. I wouldn't mind a Batista return.

For me, it's Sasha Banks by miles. In fact, she's my favourite current wrestler, regardless of gender. She has a great character and portrays it well, she has an exciting moveset, she has a lot of talent, and has true passion for wrestling. Along with Becky, Charlotte, and Bayley, she forced WWE to take notice and begin the women's revolution. That wouldn't have happened if she didn't have a boatload of talent.
However with that said, I do also really like Becky Lynch and Nia Jax. Paige, Charlotte, Bayley, Mickie James, and Alexa Bliss are all very good as well.

Excellent news, if true. Money in the Bank is simply too brilliant a concept to limit to one brand. I can't see 4 MITB matches though. Maybe one men's MITB for one brand, and then a women's MITB match for the other brand?

ugh, now I'm going to have to see that gargoyle, Ruby Riot every week. She should be on the side of a gothic cathedral somewhere, not on my tv. One of the ugliest women I've ever clapped eyes on. While there is no way I'd go anywhere near that far, and I definitely think you went too far with that post, I'd have to agree on the train of thought that I don't personally find Ruby Riot attractive in any way. However, that is entirely irrelevant, quite frankly. As long as they can impress me with their in-ring performances and character work, then I couldn't care less what they look like. Let's face it, Shinsuke Nakamura is quite far from being the most handsome man on SmackDown Live. But the majority of audiences love him. As long as a wrestler can engage audiences with their in-ring work, or promo work, or character work, how they look and what they've chosen to do with their body bears zero relevance. From what I've seen of Mandy Rose and Liv Morgan during this week, they look incredibly attractive. But if they can't impress me with their in-ring work, then I'd rather they not be there. However with that said, I want to be impressed, I want to see what they can do. The exact same goes for Ruby Riot, Sarah Logan, and Sonya Deville. Only time will tell. |

Awesome news for the PC gamers amongst us, WWE 2K18 is in the Steam Autumn Sale! Regular edition down to £24, and the Deluxe edition down to £34. I don't know their prices in dollars, but on the UK Steam store it's a downprice of 40%-45%, depending on which edition you go for. Instantly bought the Deluxe edition, so I cannot wait to get started, based off of the mods I've seen created so far.

I'm shocked that they added anything new at all. So far we have added: - Great Balls of Fire arena - Batista 2K16 entrance and trons added in. Has anyone managed to spot anything else? I hope they add updates for Rollins and The Usos newer themes Unfortunately I've just checked and neither themes have been updated or added in as an alternate option. Personally I was really hoping they'd add in Goldberg's 2017 trons, as well as other trons that should be in the game, like minitrons for Trish Stratus and Ultimate Warrior. They used to be in, they do exist, so I'm bewildered as to why they're not in. |

I don't feel like the two can be compared...at all.
In 1990, both Hogan and Warrior were the two biggest stars in the company. They were both completely over with and beloved by the audience. They were two mega-faces going at it.
Whereas Roman Reigns is almost universally hated by the audience. Lesnar is not completely over either, what with his part-time status.
I don't see any comparison between the two.

Minus the usage of Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey, I'm all for the line-up in the OP. Should definitely throw in one or two faces from the past (if Kaitlyn is indeed making a wrestling comeback, perhaps this is her return?), or maybe put in THE BIG DAWG, Dakota Kai.
But yeah, I'm all for a women's Royal Rumble, and I agree that will happen eventually. I didn't expect it to happen in 2018, but after this week, who knows? There is simply no reason to exclude women from such a wonderful match type. They deserve the chance to compete in it every year, just like the men have for 30+ years. So far they've finally been given access to Hell in a Cell and Money in the Bank. I would have thought Elimination Chamber would be next, but Royal Rumble is even better.
Cut down on the length of the men's Royal Rumble, start the show with the women's Royal Rumble and end with the men's, and it could work wonderfully.

Surely the solution would be to build Balor up between now and the Royal Rumble, so that way Balor has credibility by then? No? It's both hilarious and aggravating how clueless and senile Vince is nowadays. It's entirely down to how poorly handled Finn Balor has been as to why he is not as credible a star as he was earlier in the year.

Oh my god! Yes! It finally happened! Paige is finally back! Literally been waiting every Monday and Tuesday for the past few weeks to see Paige return, and repeatedly did not see that. Finally seeing it happening is great. Not the way I thought she'd return. Bewildered as to why RAW is swelling it's ranks, unless we see more call-ups on SmackDown Live. I really hope we do. What the women's division needs is expansion. The more faces, the better. SmackDown Live desperately needed it. I'm not sure RAW did, although both brands getting expanded is the best situation.

I really want to give My Career a fair shot, but creating a wrestler is the last damn thing I want to do in a wrestling game!!! Is there no way I can just use one of the ones I have downloaded or even have the game make me a default one? Spending an hour messing around in a creation suit is not the way I want to start a game. I really like the game play of WWE 2K18, but their single player content flat out sucks. Why can't I just pick my favorite wrestler and try and win a series of titles with them? The CAW creation for My Career is an ultra simplified version of the standard CAW creation suite. With your options being limited, it's really quick to create someone for My Career. |

I loved the documentary, and I really hope they do some more.
However, I didn't expect Vince's brutal reaction to Owens's WrestleMania match. Sure, I didn't think the match lived up to expectations, but it was still a solid match.
