Now that I think about it, the Titan Tron videos are bland too. It's someone's name or logo, no videos unless they've been around forever. Some entrances make up for blandness though and at least show some personality like Cesaro's James Bond or Bray Wyatt's entrance.

Anyone else annoyed by the generic-sounding music to a lot of the newer guys. If they must be instrumental, fine, but I find it confusing when they all sound the same. KO, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns even Dean Ambrose called out Baron Corbin for saying he stole the motorcycle part of his music(must there be two guys with motorcycle sounds in their music?). They're different but not by too much to where they are easy to distinguish.

<p>KO and Lesnar/Heyman bit was the same thing. Not just about Goldberg, but the need for extreme closeups. Lesnar's looked weird like he's getting a rectal exam the entire time </p><p> I was at least thinking Sasha Banks would be in the Women's match to make it a triple threat.</p>

watched the hell in a cell with Cactus Jack vs. Triple H on the Network(hadn't seen it since the first show) character-study wise Stephanie was downright sadistic. Triple H throws Cactus through the roof and she has this Cheshire grin on her face the entire time, Triple H actually shows concern like even holding up the title at the end he doesn't even smile, even as a baddie who had Stone Cold run over like...damn woman you vicious hahaha

<p>I'm setting up my game now and just got the game-start champions done:</p><p> For my main company, the United Wrestling Revolution:</p><p> Universe Champion: Bobby Lashley</p><p> International Champion: Johnny Mundo(John Hennigan)</p><p> Women's Champion: Taya Valkyrie(she manages Johnny as well, so they get to waltz around feeling like bosses with their own gold..)</p><p> Tag Team Champions: Nick and Matt Jackson</p><p> </p><p> For UWR's Development Territory, UW All-Stars:</p><p> All-Stars Champion: TKO'Ryan(just won, will try to keep the belt on him for a while before I call him up to the main roster)</p><p> All Star Women's Champion: Maria Kannelis</p><p> All Star Tag Team: Marshall and Ross Von Erich</p>

Man even if we were waiting for it to come with the way Kevin was acting, it was still executed really well with the way Jericho was like "how come my name is on this" it was the Y Tu, Brute? moment.

<p>Everyone just knew how that was gonna go down, but still a great Chamber match, definitely one of the better in recent years!</p><p> not the "main event" though, it'll most likely be the match that goes on right before Goldberg/Lesnar pretty sure that will be the main event that lasts about 2 minutes but with Lesnar winning instead..</p>

damn! Thanks for the heads up though, glad to know if I wanted to pull a royal-rumble type move I could throw a popular development guy in the mix though!

Let's say I was running a WWE game with NXT being the developmental territory. Instead of having all of these separate events(NXT Takeovers and WWE events) and featuring a few important matches like the NXT championship, and having it be defended at Wrestlemania. How would it be possible to feature the wrestlers on a WWE show while they are still working NXT, just have them signed on PPA contracts instead of exclusive written contracts? Is that even possible? Am I speaking crazy Matt Hardy nonsense?

<p>dream match:</p><p> Goldberg vs. Gilberg</p>

I am putting in my prediction that Reigns vs Taker at WM ends up being a career on the line match for Taker, and completes Roman's eventual heel turn that's been talked about. Anyone's thoughts?

<p>I like Michael Tarver's post-WWE Monster Tarver gimmick, so would like to utilize it with my company and wanted to give him a name.</p><p> Had been batting the idea of using the TKO anagram for him(yeah hokey, but realistic enough for wrestling)</p><p> T(Tyrone his real name, or Tarver)</p><p> but stuck on something I could use for the K-O</p><p> so if you might have any name suggestions that flow with Tyrone(or Tarver) I'd be much appreciative!</p>

<p>That was really smart on Dolph Ziggler's part at the end of that. He yelled for the Miz "come at me" at the end because he remembered the stipulation that Shane and Daniel made that if anyone interfered on anyone's behalf, it'd be an automatic elimination, thus making Ambrose get eliminated by Miz's interference. </p><p> But it seems like they have a habit of making a stipulation and never really going through with it or doing anything with it. They tend to forget one of the rules in storytelling is if you show the gun in Act 1, fire it in act 3. You'd think that it would be SOMEONE's elimination in that match could have definitely seen that as a way to get rid of Luke Harper. And with Ellsworth being "sick" he could have come out to sneeze on someone on behalf of Ambrose furthering their feud. But it was nice to have an Ellsworthless Smackdown for once in almost 2 months.</p>

<p>So I waa thinking why give the title back to Sasha when we all know Charlotte is just going to win it back at the next pay per view, because they want to make a big deal about her being undefeated at pay per views.</p><p> But then Im thinking "wait a minute.. Charlotte is Ric Flair's daughter. Ric is a 16 time world champion.."</p><p> So the path they want to do is make Charlotte a 16 time Women's champion.</p><p> Women careers dont seem to last as long as men in wrestling, but still I just wouldnt think it would be as impressive as Ric's record.. Since Ric didnt always lose it one week just to get it back a week later.</p>

I like the excitement of the crowds these days. There was a period where a lot of them were dead the entire time but now kudos for WWE to get them into women wrestlers and when new guys come in they actually get pops because of NXT and bringing in the AJ Styles that everyones known for 15 years. Just reminds me of thr good old days when crowds got into more wrestlers than whoever they pushed big at the time.

Unless Sunday Shane gives his spot to Ziggler I dont like Shane being in the match. Like they couldnt get any actual wrestler to represent Smackdown, just a McMahon stroking that ego? Ziggler would be the only choice now that hes not on the card.

<p>I'm looking to team Jay Bradley and Brian Cage together for a while. After seeing their Gut Check on TNA from a few years ago recently, thought they had good chemistry and have some great Lariats. </p><p> Still trying to think of a better gimmick for Brian as right now he just seems like a bodybuilder that can actually wrestle and seems to be a crowd pleaser in the indies. Jay and his Boomstick I think would fit an Ash-Evil Dead inspired gimmick.</p><p> </p><p> Any team name suggestions for these guys?</p>

Smackdown still looking great! Raw wasnt bad watching on HULU made it better than sitting through 3 hours of it. But Smackdown has me pumped for a lot of the feuds. Daniel Bryan and Miz for one. I cant choose between Styles and Ambrose they are both just awesome in their roles.

Funny observation about Kayfabe from.last night, I was watching Jericho hesitating while talking to Braun Stroman on RAW about getting the list back and I'm like "oh come on Chris, you pushed Brock up against a wall because you thought he really busted up Randy but Braun is just too much for you?"

In the middle Im like "what is this promo accomplishing other than filling 3 hours? Thought it was supposed to be addressing Goldberg's challenge" instead became like 10-15 minutes of them yelling at the crowd about what to be chanting.</p>

Haha they spent like 10 minutes walking around the ring trying to get the entire audience going with the GOLDBERG chant but instead backfired. You could just see them going "what the hell is with these people? Wheres the chants from last week"

Well tonight proved Jack Swagger is still a pansy. Just when you think they are going to reinvent him and make him a formidable member of the roster he ends up being the loser in a squash match.

I like Mauro, great commentator voice and has that J.R. passion of calling a match.

A bit random but it jumped into my head as I thought about it, but was Triple H's skull-mask inspired by Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat? He looks(or looked back when he was a full timer) just like him!
