Your Krimson_alt in the picture pack for RWC is Jake O'Reilly, a completely different wrestler. Krimson is Conrad Kennedy III

Giving it a go and it looks good so far, but no picture pack makes it hard to get into. Does anyone even have a link to a previously released one? I never found one.

If a once hero who was a villian who was a hero who was a villain who left for a while came back a hero left a villain again over multiple books finally showed back up and was acting in a weird way where he almost themed to be reverting to his old good guy ways but with a curious unexplained undertone, and popped up for a chapter here or there (cough segment) I'd be really intrigued as to what exactly was up with him and why it all seems a miss and I would turn the page to hopefully find out. If person comes back and says "I was gone! remember when I called you all hypocrites? Forget that! I was gone, you likely are happy to see me again! So down with *insert random bad guy here*" then I would feel cheated. Jericho is enjoying the face reactions and realizes the fans might not appreciate him as much as they should, hence not the huge or lasting elections he thinks he should get. This could lead to him going on a path of redemption or down a further path of villany. I just cant wrap my heads around people getting mad about slow builds in things and teasing. It would be like watching The Walking Dead, then going on the intertube to say "Do they die or not? If they didnt know they were going to die or not, they shouldn't of debut it so soon." Why must the end-game of a story or what not be visible to make the pay off worth it? To stay on walking dead its a perfect example of this. Season 2's first half, everyone was bitching about it slowing down, not crazy zombie moments, why are they still looking for the girl, blah blah blah. Well that was the point. The farm represented a return to normalcy and the hope of a return to civil life and community. Sophia symbolized that hope, especially within Rick. When she finally emerged from that barn, Rick has to shoot his own hope in the head and admit to himself and those following him that the old ways are dead, and hoping for them is dead. Now could that point of been made in 1 show? Sure. But then there is no development of character or anything and the show would be over in 3 episodes. Episode 1: Rick wakes up in hospital Episode 2: Rick gives up hope on normalcy Episode 3: Rick Dies. I know thats kind of WAY of topic, but I think its a very valid point on this whole subject that comes up way to often in wrestling. It is almost as if people get mad that they dont know the spoiler or answer anymore.

But but but, it didn't do exactly what I wanted immediately! I dislike this! However, if it had been that way, and they didn't do a slow build, I would complain they don't spend time properly hyping things anymore!

I love Brodus Clay. He is serviceable in the ring, more so then the latest batch of "big guys" and the fact he isnt just playing "BIG BAD ASS #1245" I'm okay with. It seems some of the internet groaned about it at first, but most people are behind him and this new gimmick. I like something different, I like surprises, this surprised me. Where it goes? Maybe a team with Santino? Who knows, but I'm down for anything. Note: I still hold hope Mason Ryan will turn out decent. The guy is apparently super humble and super nice, and I can get behind that. Hopefully he improves in the ring though. As for Hawkins, WWE should just go all out and make NXT its own brand, with its own title and everything. And have all these lower card guys "fired" from RAW & SmackDown! and signed down there, with the purpose being to get "noticed" and signed by one of the big brands. Hawkins could Stevie Night Heat that place up IMO. He has charisma and is actually good in the ring. He was always the workhorse of Ryder/Hawkins.

but takers nose is more pointy. The chin does seem a little more "pointy" but I think maybe its the mask thing on the bottom sucking some chin fat up. The eyes/nose strike me as more Kane then Taker. The big giveaway is the lips. Taker has a wide narrow mouth, this is short and fatter lips like Glenn Jacobs. Not to toot my own horn, but I am a bouncer and like to think I'm good at identifying faces. (checking IDs) .I think the giveaway also is his four-corner pyro arm taunt thing. No one seems to do it quiet like Glen Jacobs, and thats how this Kane did it. As for the hair, its just a wig. People forget Joey Mercury wrestled with a wig on for a while too when he had that face protection mask on, its not that hard when they have a mask to have a wig too, especially all wet like that. EDIT: And if it was Taker, they would of just had him retun with full sleeves. "Arm Makeup" will rub off way way to easy.

this here makes you seem like you are just trying to be holier than thou. I think a masked Kane is a brilliant idea, in that who knows if its a bad idea. Why do so many wrestling fans approach every possible anything with a sense of negativity? Even's Punk's great storyline in the summer had people saying "this will get screwed up, so lets crap on it now." Wrestling has to be one of the few things that people consistently complain about creative decisions. I see it kind of happening with other things now as well, but no one watches House and says "they're going to ball this up, screw it, they all suck... They should replace Hugh Laurie with a younger actor with more charisma and a more unique look." Take it for what it is. I'm sure it will either work, or not. Dont judge crap now that hasnt even been confirmed as to happening.

For those who forget just how great William Regal is... check this promo out... Please let us have this Regal in WWE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYWDsw3iaF0

I think whoever wrote the spoilers fro SD maybe got it wrong. I've also read that Johnny Ace "snubs" Ryder's petition and gave Morrison the title shot.

Let me follow this "storyline" chain shall I.... 1) CM Punk becomes #1 contender and announces his contract will expire on the day he plans to win the title and will walk out with the belt. 2) Stuff comes to front about CM Punk's frustration with WWE and namely Vince McMahon & his family laterally. 3) CM Punk wins the title, leaves WWE. 4) This causes WWE to lose faith in Vince and remove him from power putting Triple H into power. 5) CM Punk returns and such and proves he isnt a fluke, along the way revealing HHH is "more of the same". 6) Kevin Nash costs CM Punk the title. Seemingly because someone doesnt want Punk to be WWE champion. 7) Kevin Nash keeps CM Punk out of the title picture because someone doesnt want CM Punk to be WWE champion. 8) HHH decides to fight CM Punk because Punk insulted him a couple times and wins. 9) HHH fires Kevin Nash. 10) Kevin Nash and HHH are now in a feud........ I've missed some stuff obviously, but how does that make any sense? The whole Thing hasnt had a big "payoff" yet and its completley shifted focus and left CM Punk, the catalyst, seemingly on the curb. And the original focus of the storyline, of change, of CM Punk being different and sick of the status quo and the fans (seemingly) agreeing, has now been replaced by HHH vs. Kevin Nash.... because thats new and different?

That was true for a time. I was talking to a former WWE wrestle about it and it had just gotten switched before he was canned. He mentioned A LOT of WWE superstars enjoy the reefer. Also, I could see Mason Ryan growing on me. Even for a muscle freak that I usually hate. He kind of had me won over with all those "rumors" that he was a super humble guy who couldnt understand why WWE would push him over other talent and such. Apparently he's well liked backstage because he openly admits his shortcomings and tries to get help and stuff, apparently working really close with Goldust or Malenko, I cant remember who.

Heath Slater suspended for a wellness violation. Most comments I've read on other sites have people assuming its steroids, but they forget that something like cocaine, or painkillers, or what not are on there too. I'm assuming it has to do with a non-steroid non-peformance enhancer.

I wont lie and say I predicted he'd be good all along, but I always had a semblance of faith in him because he started in OVW (from scratch) when Lance Storm was the main trainer. Anyone with natural athletic ability that is trained to wrestle by Lance Storm, who seems to have a natural charisma (that's the part no one saw), is bound to be successful.

I like how CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler have been on every list thus far. haha.

Who's In Your Fav 5 Booker T's "Fav 5" thing is kind of annoying, because it appears as though their are 13 people on his list. However, I think it is an interesting thing to think about, about who is your "Fav 5", aka if they are on TV you need to watch, or you at least need to look up their matches/segments on youtube the day after. That said... Mine, in no particular order besides #1. 1. CM Punk 2. Zack Ryder 3. Dolph Ziggler 4. Tyson Kidd 5. Daniel Bryan And for the hell of it, what are your "Fav 3" Divas? 1. Natalya 2. AJ 3. Beth Phoenix Interested to see other people's lists, as it is kind of a spotlight on people's preferences. EDIT: Am I the only person who wants to see Kidd vs. Danielson in a 60-minute Iron Man match

Goldberg's "return" is him wrestling a charity show in Africa. Already announced. He said he'd only wrestle "for him" and not anyone else anymore.

What did I just see? I dont really understand... And did Triple H really need to come back and beat CM Punk? The ending HAD to be Pedigree-Pin right? HHH might be back to his burrying ways I fear.

Yes! Cant believe they didn't have Beth win, or do a more screwy finish.

I think Henry literally just proved everyone wrong. Some people are going to claim they thought he could be good from day 1. But no one thought Sexual Chocalate had any true promise. A great example of a guy chugging along and getting better. His matches are good for a big guy, his mic work appeared out of no where back in ECW, I'm so happy that someone is being rewarded for hardwork.

In the long run it doesnt matter though. Some guys might lose their jobs, fine, but WWE functioned for years with only one brand, why cant they do it again? Make the brand split mean something, aka no-interaction, or end it. Dont just call someone from RAW and call someone from SmackDown! just so you can have more championships. I think people forget what it is to have truely good booking. Back in the day they only had a handful of belts that mattered (dont count the euro or whatever) and it worked fine. They had to book guys in storylines that focused on things besides titles. Now when they try to do it with Punk/Nash people generally crap on it. Although I do agree, no one cares about Nash at this point. Why they didnt use it as an opportunity to elevate Jack Swagger or Mason Ryan or something is beyond me.

isntead of having two supershows (SmackDown! is being advertised as both brands up here in Canada, even though it wasnt really announced), just end the damn thing. Merge the belts and end it.

The reality is there are many duplicate belts. Since the conversion to HD, WWE has a common practice to now have "TV Belts" and "House Show Belts". The TV belts are carried by WWE production instead of the wrestlers themselves, the wrestler's carry what are called House Show belts or promotional appearance belts. The only reason for this is the TV belts are now kept highly polished/flawless so they do not have scratches or worn spots on the leather which would really show up on the HD tv's these days. Back in the day, promotions simply had one belt, but I've been under the impression WWE has abandoned that and likely have 2-3 belts for TV in case ones gets scratched up by being thrown around or a belt shot or what not, even in the middle of a show.

I think Tyson Kidd is pretty safe because he's a perfect jobber to the stars, much like Evan Bourne. If they are going to cut more people, here's my shortlist of who are most likely on the chopping block: Curt Hawkins David Otunga (more of a personal wish) Drew McIntyre Heath Slater Hornswoggle Johnny Curtis JTG Kaitlyn Matt Striker Primo Rosa Mendes Tamina Trent Barreta Tyler Reks Yoshi Tatsu (though I doubt it, they need a Japanease guy)

Hopefully these leads to the end of the brand split. Each brand now has 10 people it seems. Edit: So far the only real loss is Masters who has been impressing me a lot lately. Smith is a shame, he's a great worker, but thats it. Kozlov leaving gives Ryder a place with Santino. And women are women. Gails a good worker but is just like Smith, not much else. Melina has always been terrible in my opinion. Now I just wonder if they are going to purge FCW as there is A LOT of crap down there. Bring back Gallows and Cabana.
