I feel like the Fiend/Hogan had a brief run at Target and I never saw it again. Wondering if anyone has seen the Edge/Macho man wave.

I’m assuming they’re gonna do something special. Not sure what though.

If you’re talking initial Evolution run the only elites we have are Randy and Triple H. The best of my knowledge I don’t think there’s been a Batista or Flair from that time period. I think the closest you can get is maybe the retirement DM Flair. For Batista, maybe the HOC one but that’s technically from WM21 after the split. I think they made TRU 5-pack with Batista in evolution gear but unfortunately it was a basic.

I don’t think it’s top 5, but it holds a special place due to the current world circumstances.

Who in God’s green earth booked the retribution s to be in the hurt business?!?!? Awful. I would have rather been swerved and have Cedric and Shelton come back and lay out Drew, even if that didn’t make sense. I know we’re still in a pandemic and they couldn’t really produce a post-mania Raw that we all love and come to expect. But my God it seemed like there was next to zero effort put in to even have a halfway decent show.

Roman Reigns is the best promo in the whole damn company.
I never would have thought I’d say that 5 years ago.

So you hit the ref and knock him out and then get surprised when the ref is unconscious and not able to count your pin.
Not feeling this match so far at all.

It's stupid to call it an unsanctioned match when the GM made it and they both signed a contract. It doesn't get more sanctioned than that. No I think it was more of a signing that wwe won’t be held responsible for the damage they ensue on each other

I think when it was done in NXT originally it was done great. But they didn’t use it correctly on the main roster. Atleast he was never beat other than the cage match against Joe.
I think Finn is doing some of his best work right now and the demon isn’t necessary. But it’s inevitable that it’ll be used again.

I don’t want to come off as complaining, because I absolutely love Mattel’s product overall. Been collecting for the past few years, and these ultimate edition figures aesthetically look great. But these torsos are horrible and really hold me back from buying the majority of them. These ultimates are supposed to have superior articulation, but how is that possible when the torso articulates less than the normal elites. Mattel should really look into retooling the torsos. I’m okay with diaphragm design, but maybe they should take a page from what WCT/Jazzwares is doing with the lower ab joint.

So we destroy one of the only good things about the show. It literally makes ZERO sense to break up the hurt business. Having the hurt business together as a unit makes Lashley look even better. Really really really dumb but I am not surprised at all

Wow that’s crazy but atleast he’s doing ok. He’s a bit on the younger side to be having a heart attack. I know he didn’t have the best lifestyle back in the day but he got past it, hopefully he’s not suffering the long-term effects from it. He has been putting on the pounds after retirement and a heart attack can happen to anybody at any age when that happens. Yeah I haven’t seen pictures of him recently, didn’t know he packed on that much weight.

Anyone know where he’s been? Seems like he just suddenly vanished for no rhyme or reason.

I think the thing people are missing is that Khali was an attraction besides being a main eventer. Yeah he sucked, but he was an attraction that helped open up the entire country of India to wwe programming, which is now WWEs biggest market besides the US. whether or not he was a good wrestler is up for your opinion, however the fact that his contributions to the company made vince hundreds of millions is undeniable. Dude, India does not make WWE hundreds of millions. Not even close. Saying that they’re the second biggest market doesn’t mean anything when WWE tours the U.S. the majority of the year. They couldn’t even sell out arenas when Jinder was there.

Many guys have held world championships but that doesn’t mean they are HOF worthy. And good for their Indian market but they don’t tour India 95% of the year. He didn’t draw worth a sh*t in the U.S. so it doesn’t really matter I feel like if you gave the guy the world title he should be in the hall of fame, but I mean different strokes for different folks, to me the hall of fame is just a celebration of talent. People take it too seriously. I mean Del Rio and Jinder had title reigns but should they be in the HOF? Like I said, it’s the HOF of performers that are in Vince McMahon’s good graces. I don’t take it all too serious anymore, it’s just laughable at this point.

I hope Taker inducts Kane. Kane is definitely headliner worthy. as for Khali, he’s one of the worst wrestlers I’ve ever seen, but this is HOF based on your relationship with the company and not based off accomplishments. I mean he was WWE champion and he revolutionized their relationship with India to the point that he was so over they were editing Khali matches into their shows over there even if he wasn’t part of the tapings. He wasn’t anywhere near good in the ring but he had his place in the business. Many guys have held world championships but that doesn’t mean they are HOF worthy.
