    MHero, can you post the WhitePink or PinkWhite versions of Mascara Delfin you had here? The download from the old thread expired. Actually, light grey and pink would be better, but those are close enough. I was going to pair him with California Kid and I wanted them to match. Thanks.

    Also, speaking of recolorings. Does anybody want to change the color of Slayyer's mask from black and white to black and red to match his tag partner Hellspawn 666?

     

    decided to give the slayyer a go since I wanted that one too, I'm sure someone better will give it a go, but I thought I'd share :)

I'll urge you to try the Japanese comms, they're so passionate and all the story is told in the ring through body language, it's truly wonderful. For example, one slap in the Dome main event this year was the big climax, the perfect climax, to over 3 years of a very specific story being told, my favorite storytelling moment in the history of wrestling, beautiful.</p>

    <p>I'd have one more singles feud with Tana at least</p><p> </p><p>

    Given the story they told with the IC around New Beginning he needs to continue to chase that title at some point. My fantasy book is he wins the NJ Cup and tries to challenge for the IC, beating Naito in the process. Then Naito messes up the title shot for Tana, leading to Tana-Naito feud which Naito wins. Naito-Okada at Dominion where Naito is HATED in that province, Naito wins the strap, Okada wins G1, Tana builds himself back up (maybe through tags) and we have our top two matches for dome as: Okada-Naito©, rematch from 2014 dome, this time top of the card, and Tanahashi-Omega©, to finish up that feud, given how important the Intercontinental Title has been to Tanahashi in promos and the like recently. Also, Tanahashi is both Naito and Omega's best feud mate in my opinion, the Tanahashi-Naito feud last year was great outside of a few let down matches, and Omega-Tana has already produced (in my opinion) the best match of Omega's career this year, and now Kota is gone (probably) it seems to me to be the best feud for him for dome if they go ahead with pushing him UNLESS they promote Little Ace to heavies, which I don't see happening, because he's one of the best Junior Babyfaces they've had in decades.</p>

    I think both Reigns and/or Bryan can take Cena's place as the top guy. Cena as a heel would sell just as much merch as would as a face IMO. I would love him to change his catchphrase to 'You can't be me'. Argghhh it would be so good.

     

    I don't know, McMahan's have never put the heels over hard unless their last name was McMahan, and as we saw earlier this year, one loss and Cena's merch sales are in the tank. Bryan probably can't take over, and neither really can Reigns imo. Bryan's probably never going to work again, certainly not full schedule, and Reigns is an awful pure pure babyface. The most over he's ever been is assaulting people, and that's all well and good, but he's an antihero at best. I would love a Cena turn too, Ambrose is over and pure enough to be the good guy, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see the debut of a certain Generic Luchadore soon who is one of the most natural babyfaces of the last 10 years. But I just don't think Vince would go there, not even for Reigns. I think it's possible Brock wins rumble, and I think that could be pretty damn satisfying.

    You are correct that he has been cleared by doctors but honestly he would still need time to prove he can stay injury free. It would be too much of a risky move to immediately put eggs in his basket. Trust me I'm a Daniel Bryan fan as much as the next guy but it wouldn't be the smartest business decision to start throwing belts on the guy until his body proves it can hold up.

     

    This is very true, I don't think putting the IC Belt on him was the right decision. I personally think he should have won the Royal Rumble and had one hell of a match with Brock at Mania. Brock wins, Bryan retires. Mega heat.

    While Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, Kevin Owens and (on a lighter note) Stardust are noted champions of the internet and people would love to see them get a bigger role in WWE, you also have to think about business as a whole. What if they tank in network buys? What if they don't get a response from them? What then?

     

    While I agree with most of your points. I don't think anybody tanks network buys in 2015, they're going to steadily tick up. I also don't think pushing multiple people would to anything to their numbers in general.

    On a side note, I don't feel like the 1 star system is a good system to have. It makes no sense to have 1 top guy. You now have no real challengers to Reigns that are perceived to be on his level with the exception on Cena (over exposed), Brock (part time) and Taker (super part time) thus you have no money feuds. Back in my day (I sound so old) you had Rock, Austin, Kurt, HHH, Taker, HBK and even Kane and Benoit to a lesser degree. All could be seen as legit champs, a feud between 2 of any of those could draw you in and they all had their own character and were defined characters that you could see differences in. Now the only challengers to Roman's title on the roster right now that I perceive are legitimate are: Cena (gone), Brock (gone), Taker (gone), Orton (injured) and Rollins (injured). Not 1 active guy right now is a legit challenger. Sheamus was a damn quasi comedy guy before he got the damn title!

     

    There's a big time booking issue, and Roman is a beneficiary of that, but he's still done his part. Nobody looks strong. Build 2 to 4 guys, give them very little interaction between each other all year, and you have main events for mania and summerslam. As long as people are made to look damn near unstoppable, when they finally face off, it's usually money! I was no fan of Rusev, BUT I bought him as big bad ass brute of an ass kicker until he lost his ass over and over to Cena, then buried him in a soap opera. Bottom line is, good booking can get nearly anybody over, and Reigns is a perfect example of what happens when you focus on a talent and book him strong. Reigns is not great anywhere except in his look, but he's improved vastly, and kicks everybody's ass. Now that his character is going in he direction it should've gone all along (his Shield persona), he's over!

     

    Oh, I completely agree. Wrestling is in dire need of moving away from this "1 star" system because, quite simply, people don't draw anymore. Raw's with legends on this year did similar numbers to raws without. The only person who has legitimately "drawn" this year is Vinnie Mac. The last time Raw killed numbers wise was during the Bryan chase, and that was largely story than the man himself. While numbers are in the toilet, take this time to build a cast of characters, and put on a TV shows that actually tells stories (something Vince says he does). Don't create another Cena who, while doing great merch numbers, at least when he doesn't lose, has sucked ratings wise for the last decade.

    On the case of Roman, I will not repeat myself; for I would be talking to brick wall by doing so.

     

    On the topic of Vince McMahon and Triple H however is a different story. While it is true that Vince McMahon has made many bad choices this year, why should this be of any surprise to you? This is after all, the same man who thought Katie Vick was a good storyline, that Diesel deserved a year long reign, that gave us the lackluster Invasion storyline and that who put the championship belt...on himself...twice.

     

    In short; Vince McMahon has always had bad ideas, even since the very beginning. Why should now be any different? Besides, for every bad idea; he usually has a good idea up on his sleeve. (The Attitude Era, Hulk Hogan as the face of the company, The Nation of Domination and more recently with pushing CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, CM Punk's 434 day reign, the Money in the Bank concept, The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak and so on)

     

    As for Triple H: I only have to point to you at NXT to prove you wrong.

     

    Now for the League of Nations: As talented as they are, I highly doubt they will win the World title anytime soon. Sheamus and Del Rio while great workers in the ring; their time in the main event is probably over (or will be over) because they are in the wrong side of 30.

     

    As for Wade Barrett, his ship has long since sailed and at this rate will never happen. (The last chance of that ever happening was the start of 2012) Like with so many others, he will have to settle for the midcard for the rest of his career. The result of getting injured at the wrong time.

     

    Your best bet for a League of Nations world champion would have to be Rusev, and even then; it's a hard bet. While he has gotten better in the ring, his paring with Summer Rae really shot his momentum dead. If he wishes to be in the same height he was back in 2014-Early 2015, he'll have to be a no-nonsense killing machine; TLC was a good start, but we can go farther than that.

     

    Look; If you don't like Roman Reigns, that is absolutely fine. You are allowed to like and dislike certain wrestlers. I myself like John Cena myself; but I respect and understand why other people wouldn't. As long as you have a good argument and we both understand where we're coming from, that's wonderful.

     

    But it's when you keep repeating the same thing over and over again, that Roman is no good, Vince and Triple H don't know what their doing and that those who are sheep are those who refuse to boo who you hate where I have a problem.

     

    As Dave Scott has pointed out, there ARE other wrestling promotions out there. I'm not saying that you should stop watching WWE, but I am suggesting you also watch other wrestling promotions so you won't be so down in wrestling. I know you say you watch TNA, but that's about it. Try broadening out your wrestling expierence, and it might help you out.

     

    I love NXT to death, it's my company of the year this year, but pointing to that as being a great example of booking or writing in my opinion is a bad example. There are a ton of poor booking decisions over the last two years, and most of the writing has also been lacking, relying on good performers overshadowing that. In my opinion the reason why NXT has done so well is they give the performers the licence to do their own thing, when the time comes to actually book or write it usually turns out awful. Look at the NXT title post-Owens vs Zayn. Owen's reign was very uninspired and led to the worst period of TV in the promotions history, and his only big feud aside from Zayn ended up bombing so hard that Owens vs Full Sail was more over than Owens vs Balor. Then, Balor, one of the weakest champions they've had in a while who needs a lot of protecting on the character side, they made no effort to protect and that's led to an incredibly boring character as a result. That's not even to mention waiting too long to pull the trigger on the Vaudevillians as tag champs (they should have won the belts at REvolution, 9 months before they actually did), and the failure to build up their talent in the women's division in preparation for the horsewomen departure, leading to the two most recent feuds there. I love NXT for the most part, seriously I do, but I have no reason to believe that if you give Trips 5 hours of weekly TV plus a PPV he won't do exactly the same as Vince, heck, Trips is already the biggest heel in the product.

    I actually like Roman now. To say that he's been carried in every match is way off. Big Show didn't carry Roman to the best match on the card (I forget the ppv, maybe battleground?) in their last man standing. Roman plays his part in every match. He paces a match much better over the last 3-4 months. If you want proof of that watch the match he had with Orton on ppv (again, forget the ppv name. Please feel free to chime in with the name) was so many rest holds with the big moves peppered in because Reigns had nothing else to offer at that point. I'm not saying his matches are great, by any means. They are however very solid now. Again, his mic and character need work, but it'll come.

     

    Big Show match = Extreme Rules 2015

    Orton = Summerslam 2014

    Like I said I will NEVER cheer Roman Reigns. He sucks, that simple. His ring work is terrible, his mic work is even worse. Any good matches he was in he was carried. I hate the fact Vince "Out of touch" McMahon and Triple H both want to force Roman Reigns down our throats and now people are ACCEPTING it? It sickens me that these parasitic gelatinous tapeworms cheer Roman Reigns. The fact I would cheer John Cena over Roman Reigns should tell you a lot because I don't like Cena. It just makes me so mad that Roman Reigns is champion. Anyone who thinks Roman Reigns is a good wrestler needs there head examined at the emergency room. He is only good pushed because he is The Rock's untalented cousin. The sooner this no talent piece of crap losses the title the better. I like the League of Nations as a stable and I want to see them become the next Evolution. All the members of the League are very talented and more deserving of a push than Roman Reigns. Guys like Roman Reigns are a dime a dozen. He should be just a mid carder. He is nothing more than a stupid meathead.

     

    I think that's a very harsh assessment. I have a huge problem with Roman Reigns too, I think he's still pretty green and his character work, both on the mic and off is very suspect. I also don't get on board with the great look thing and think his charisma is very heel-slanted. Overall I think the push he's getting IS disproportionate to his ability. That said, to ignore the improvements he's made because of that is baffling to me. Your saying the Big Show and Bray Wyatt carried him? Heck no. His limb selling is world class, his offense is exciting, and I'm sorry if this irks you, but he's over as heck. The booking he's got confirms to me that WWE are set on their "one-star" philosophy and refuse to build an ensemble cast. It also confirms that they're no prepared to let "their guy" look weak (see Cena, John) even in his dirty losses. It's these things I'd be mad at, not the performer himself, and this is a common problem I see with fans these days in my opinion. All the problems can be put squarely at the feet of management in that company, they have one of the most talented rosters in the history of the company.
