Re: WWE General Discussion II
Yeah, both would look better with haircuts if you ask me. They're both too old for hair that long. Make it a hair v hair match with the winner... getting his head shaved.

I think Aj's stupid haircut works for him. He's a dork.

Re: WWE General Discussion II
You know what match I'd love to see? Shawn Michaels vs. Tomasso Ciampa for the NXT Championship at Takeover.

Re: WWE General Discussion II
AJ Styles vs Shaun Michaels
Hair vs Hair Match cause why not (when was the last time they did a Lucha de Aputeras match in WWE, pretty sure it was Punk vs Mysterio nearly 10 years ago, they really should do more of that).

Re: WWE General Discussion II
Daniel Bryan staying with WWE, actually a bit disappointed but not surprised. I would have loved to have seen freelancing Daniel Bryan doing what Jericho is currently doing and doing something in Mexico, do a bit with Impact, do some matches in New Japan and then come back to WWE occasionally as well.
Alas he is in a comfy position and not too badly placed on the card, but I do think he will go a bit cold from here on in, not that it really matters too much.

I'm with you, man. He's in an excellent spot, especially with his health being tenuous and a baby at home. But I miss some of the things he contributed when he was under the radar. His talents are not being maximized in his current role, mostly because he's so **** over. I wish they'd throw him into more varied situations.

He'd have to shave his head if he lost though.
Same way if Styles lost he'd have to go bald and ditch the soccer mum hair.

Yeah he should be one of those guys like Cena (because he's far more over than Cena, lets be real) where he gets to be on both rosters.

Re: WWE General Discussion II
Lana is pissed because her character in 2k18or19orwhatever has shoulder length hair instead of long hair. Further investigation reveals that fans are also quite upset about this.

Wrestlemania 18 was awesome! Had to have been a blast to have been in person. And I'm not crazy about the Saudi royal rumble. Like how does the winner of a 50 man rumble not get an automatic title shot? But yea I'm sure for seeing it in person it's still cool as hell.
Yeah it was especially the Rock vs. Hogan match...I'll never forget after the match the feeling like you just spent
30-40 minutes doing intense cardio. I was literally sweating and exhausted and all I was wearing was an nWo shirt and
jeans lol. It was so loud and intense the video never does it justice. I remember there was this girl beside me from
Michigan who was a huge Lita mark and was cheering and screaming for the Rock but me and my friend drowned her out
with Hogan chants lol...
There was like this euphoria after like people couldn't believe what they just witnessed like you just watched one
of the greatest matches of all-time there was just this buzz over the dome. My voice was shot for 2 weeks and I remember
trying to make some noise for the HHH vs. Y2J match but I had nothing left in my lungs.
After the show me and my friend were walking out with our chairs and we must have been approached by 10-15 people
asking if they could buy it and make some interesting financial offers.
I went to watch this match because I've heard good things about it from the peeps here and I've got to say...I was a little disappointed in the match. I'm going to assume that it was definitely one of those "In the moment" type matches, where the build up was great, the story behind the match was great, the atmosphere was electric which you could tell by the video on the network but I imagine actually being there had to of been very hype. You could see Hogan poorly executing a few moves but not everyone is perfect. It just didn't do much for me but like I said, it's obviously a "in the moment" match.
I guess you have to have an acquired taste for it...
Cody Rhodes recently said it's the greatest match of all time and he doesn't respect or trust anyone who
says otherwise or something to that extent.
Bruce Pritchard said if he was to show one match to aspiring training wrestlers it would be that match...
Jerry Lawler has said it's the best match he's ever called...
I know Moose has said it's the match that made him want to get into the business and there's dozens of
wrestlers that say it's their favorite match of all-time.
We all like a great technical match like Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect or high spot match like Foley vs. Taker at Hell in a Cell
but Rock vs. Hogan as well as HBK vs. Taker at WM 25 is just a master piece on the nuances of wrestling and
master storytelling.

I saw the picture... They gave her hair and an outfit that she posed for in some movie poster but never had for wrestling
so the Diva fans are pissed.
But you wanna talk about outrage Ciampa, Mick Foley, RVD, Nikki Cross, Brian Kendrick, Earthquake,
Bushwackers, Von Erichs etc etc cut from 2K18. 16 legends cut and only new on disc addition is
Ted Dibiase who's inexplicably been "manager only" the last several years.

Like I said, it seems like a match that had a great build to it and was highly anticipated. I get that, I wasn't expecting a super technical match because Hogan and technical don't belong together at all. I couldn't care less what Cody says about him not trusting or respecting anyone who has a different opinion than him, that's just silly. I wasn't expecting a technical match nor a spot fest either. I'm sorry my opinion differs from yours, lol. Well, I'm not sorry, hahahaha.
I bet if I went back to watch the build to it I might have a different opinion. It's all good tho, you can love the match while I think it's only okay. You'll get over it, so will I. I still value your opinion even tho it doesn't match mine. We all good.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.
"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

So Hogan may have been brought back into the fold because of the Saudi Prince and will probably make an appearance at the Saudi Show, makes sense.
