Interesting that Regal, Adnan and Mustafa have the same render photo as '15 but Booker T has a new one.
Presumably because he's featured in the Austin Showcase and thus a different look of his will be in the game.
Not saying it's not a C&P with updated attire but at least it isn't straight-up C&P.

It's all about the U
but I feel like they would make more of a fuzz in building the match around Cena tying Flair's record if he was going to win

Yeah, I'm all for the roster being 2K15 + new additions.
As long as all of the guys who need their face to look better (Miz, JBL, etc) get updated.

For a while, WWE 2010 is going on hiatus.
I want to give my all to my writing. With the lack of graphics or weekly write-ups (both my choices), the detailed write-up is the thing that makes the diary stand out. Right now, my mind's not in the right place to continue at that kind of level of writing.
I'll still be on the forum, I'll still be on the boards. I'll still be giving replies to those I already have been replying to. But my diary won't be updated for a while.

The best thing that ever happened in Daniel Bryan's career was getting fired the night he strangled Justin Roberts. He was spared the Nexus, being fed to Cena and instead got to return a face, go over WITH Cena and then get some decent singles title runs. I will never get used to calling him Daniel Bryan. To this day I still don't think he was actually fired. He said in his book that Vince called him four days later to actually fire him. After he got to the back he got yelled at because choking and spitting (he spat in Cena's face) are two big no-nos for PG. He didn't think it would lead to firing.

Reminds me of Team ECK which wasn't that bad.
Still a lazy pick for a name tho.

A lot of pissed off people.
A lot of angry threads on this board.
Maybe, if we're lucky, a mini-"Cancel WWE Network" trend.

Solid opening promo by Punk and interesting that Trish doesn't come out and host right away. Real good opener and Punk getting the W is the right way, especially with the finish. The inner conflictions of Del Rio were pretty cool and it makes the US Title seem meaningful, which is absolutely a plus. Still loving the dynamic with Reigns and the Wyatts. Liked the finish of Reigns/RVD too. Cool post-match interactions with the Shield. Dallas beat El Torito. Match of the century. BIG SHOW! Good stuff with the Bellas and Paige, and that was a smart move including Trish in that segment. Liking Dolph beating Orton, and awaiting the Ziggy/Sheamus match with bated breath. Good stuff with Cody and Goldust. Fun match with the Cena/D-Bry dynamic; them winning was certainly the right call and the post-match staredown was a neat touch. Great Jericho/Neville match and I dig the spot from Monday's Rollins/Neville match too. Tong Po/Jericho should be the good stuff. The contract signing was fun and Lesnar standing tall at the end was the right decision. You delivered on your word as this was a big Raw that played out well.

The cameraman was trippy as hell at the end.
It's crazy because I was just reading that portion of Bryan's career in his book the other night and it's surreal to see the guy go from that to the main event of Wrestlemania.

Another great podcast bros. I remember this one fondly and I'm glad we agree on a lot of things. -- The ECW Scramble was good, and yeah, Morrison should have been in instead of Miz. Hardy beat Morrison to qualify, Finlay beat Mike Knox, and Chavo beat Dreamer; Miz beat Evan Bourne. Bourne was starting to get over and he woulda made the match better I think. Miz's gear was trash back then but it fit the cocky douche gimmick well. -- I posted this in the comments section of the video: Afa the Wild Samoan had 5 kids: the two most notable being Samu (the Headshrinker) and Manu. Roman Reigns is brothers with Rosey, but their father is Sika, the other Wild Samoan. I was researching that and Jesus Christ that family tree is nuts. -- Was this the tag title match where Cody landed wang-first on a moonsault? I seem to remember that. Cryme Tyme fought Jeri-Show at Summerslam '09. They shoulda won the belts in 2007 instead of the dysfunctional Cena/Michaels reign. -- Jericho said in his book that he wore his gear as a psychological thing; like his character believed this fight was gonna be a piece of cake so he didn't think he needed to wear street clothes. The entire feud was psychologically fantastic and told a great story. -- I actually had a sim planned a few years back that started here and began with Shelton Benjamin winning the WWE Title scramble. COMPLETELY forgot he was US Champion at the time. I in' loved me some The Brian Kendrick. I agree fully with the "interim vs. current" debate and I believe Mike Adamle originally used interim. The match was good but the finish was stupid. Literally anything involving Hardy attempting to break up the pin--like Benjamin or Kendrick preventing him from doing so or whatever--would have made more sense. I think it devalues the gimmick match; because it was so new, the fans should be kept clear in the rules and whatnot of the match. By Jeff going for the pin, it adds an element of ambiguity in the rules (like what would've happened if Hardy got a pin as interim champ?). I think the 2009 ECW Title Scramble (with Christian, Dreamer, Henry, Finlay and Swagger) had Christian going for like 3 pins in a row as interim champ. -- This was a stupid way for Punk to lose the title in hindsight. He barely got a rematch for the belt (8 days later in a steel cage match that was barely advertised) and this didn't end up in a feud with Orton. A month later and he's back on the midcard, which was pointless. Punk was always treated like that and that's something for another time, another rant. -- Divas. Ehh. -- Big Show/'Taker was weird. Vicky was fat. She slimmed down since so good for her. The feud was awkward but UT was back on TV and without much on SmackDown he was put in this feud. We did get the KO Punch out of it, and I still wonder why Show just doesn't throw it at the start of every match. -- I will say in the beginning I thought I was tripping balls because the background kept shaking back and forth. I'm glad I wasn't and it was just the iPad swaying. -- It's sad that Raw was stacked with main event talent but these were the 5 guys they chose for the match. JBL's manboobies were nuckin' futs back then. Batista stopped being good from his feud with Michaels after 'Mania until he turned heel. Kane being interim champ was fun, but that's because I'm a Kane fan. We never did get an explanation why Y2J got in. Kane jobbing to the spinebuster was weird. Like Batista Bomb him or another finish or something. They said the Michaels/Jericho feud needed a belt but they only had the one title match between the two which was weird. Then we got the first of two(!) times Cena returned from injury to IMMEDIATELY win a World Title. Keep it up brothers. I don't know what else you have queued in your suggestions for future episodes but I would appreciate a Wrestlemania 29 review down the line. I was there live and I remember walking out of MetLife thinking it was top 10 all-time until I re-watched the show.

TNA98 kicks off strong--literally--with Roderick Strong and Matt Sydal. Pretty cool match-up and Strong winning was good. Both members of Greatness won singles matches so I'm expecting Zero Gravity to pick up an early win in the best-of-five match-ups. Hernandez advancing in the TV Tournament is good; you couldn't really go wrong with either guy here but it's smart to keep his undefeated streak alive until some more meaningful match. I'll keep drinking the SuperMex Kool-Aid for now. AJ hyping up the debut of Impact was smart and his interaction with Punk came off nicely. No problems with Banks advancing in the tournament, especially with the prospect of him and Ekmo Fatu meeting up in the next round. The James Storm promo was well-written. Raven's win was needed and I'm intrigued with the direction you'll be taking him and Heroes for Villains. Cliff Compton winning was fine by me; out of the three that advanced so far he's my pick to win. Really fun main event match, and the finish was for the best. Keeps both guys looking strong. Another great show and I'm excited for Sting and Abyss.

I assume that Vamp won't be returning to the commentary booth next season, which is alright because I have confidence they'll find a dude that complements Matt Striker well.
It's hard to tell if they'll run as heels or faces; I mean yeah he commanded Pentagon to break a hundred dudes' arms but it's Vampiro and the Temple respects him. If they are good guys, Pentagon would be my choice to take the belt off Mil Muertes. Fenix having the Gift of the Gods sets up the rematch between he and Mil but I don't think he should win there.
Also the new Temple thing is weird. It's unique that they didn't really mention the behind-the-scenes story on air (besides Chavo coming out with the Crew toward the end, and Bael just randomly disappearing). I think it'll look similar to this Temple; it has to, because that's a BIG part of why the show had the atmosphere it did. Besides, how else will Angelico and Aero Star do high spots?

Some thoughts: - Mundo/El Patron was as good as expected. Melina helping Mundo win was a sweet little touch. - Vamp/Pentagon. Holy . Amazing storytelling and some of the most brutal stuff I've ever seen. The post-match stuff was the icing on the cake--I wasn't expecting that at all. - The 7-way match was great. Creepy Marty Martinez is my favorite thing. AeroStar's dive was out of this world (pun fully intended). - Blue Demon - The main event was fantastic. Match of the night. But that was expected - The commentator who filled in for Vamp was really good. I dug him. - The ending with all the guys going their separate ways was bittersweet but a perfect way to end. The last shot with Dario was masterful. I wasn't really into the whole Dario/Black Lotus "we gotta leave" crap but it didn't put a damper on what was a wonderful conclusion to the first season of the most unique, intense, masterful wrestling on television. Now we just gotta hope Season Two begins filming sooner rather than later.
