    If someone who never watched wrestling before asked me which was the most important title in the WWE right now I honestly would have to say it's The IC belt.

    Miz just makes it feel like it's the most important title in the world.


    AJ losing a jobber and having a title fight against him.

    Kevin Owens making his a comedy belt and losing every week.

    Reigns forgets to bring his to the ring more times than not.

    Sure a couple of years ago before the rumble I'm pretty sure apart from batista, I del rio was the only wrestler who expressed he wanted to win the rumble.

    Why oh why did they put the US title on reigns!

    It to quote Chris Jericho, never ever should've been taken from Rusev.

    Would've given both men something to fight about that's for sure.

    Also WWE logic at times confuses me, a recent example Rusev defending Lana's honour = Him being a heel, but Dean Ambrose defends Renee Young and = It's a good thing.

    The mind of Vincent Kennedy McMahon is a weird one, to say the least.

    Rusev's foreign though so obviously he's EEEEEEEVVVVIIIILLLLLL

    Miz going off one one like Flair was gas on talking smalk.

    On bring it to the table they brought up the hour three of RAW and the cash it makes them.

    Eventually they need hour one to be 205 (RAW 205) or NXT, something that brings RAW talent back to two hours, so they can make it fast paced, must see but keep the money they make by having an extra hour.

    I hope somehow Vince does make Nakamura a heel off the bat. Hes so over the natural fit is that hes a face but Knowing Vinces track record ford debuting Asian stars as evil heels (par Taka and Yoshi Tatsu) I imagine Vince could turn him into an evil foreign heel.

    In fairness, Japan is the same.

    I can't stand the two lads on the attitude era podcast who seem to **** all over my childhood wrestling memories. Just because they weren't watching they make fun of it. Alright it wasn't all brilliant but damn it it was my era. :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,469 ✭✭✭LeeJM


    Stop listening to it then. There is plenty of brilliant podcasts out there that delve into wrestling history from many different perspectives.

    I had stopped but there was a new episode out of survivor series 2011 and they are still the same.

    Just going to throw this out there. Lads wearing women wrestlers' merchandise, why do I think that's kinda odd? Logically I shouldn't I think plenty of the women are great to watch and support e.g. Becky. Maybe it's some ingrained macho bull. I'd be curious to know if any males on here have bought or wear t-shirts or other merchandise of the women?

    I agree. Not sure exactly what it is that makes me think like that but I agree.

    Especially the lass kicker or not that kind of girl ones.

    I have this Sasha Banks T Shirt

    And I do have a bit of a problem wearing it, mainly cause the gold sort of sparkles and I reflect off every window I go near

    If it didn't sparkle I'd have wore it outside more than once :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    Also I'd pay good money to see a lad wearing this t shirt

    Watching the rumble 2011 and Matt striker has to one of the worst commentatorstipulations in history just awful.

    He trys so hard to try to appeal to hardcore fans and it's so bad.

    I've seen the lads wearing them but haven't really thought that much about them really Pentecost.

    Had wrestling themes playing in the background as I was working at something last night. The NWO theme came up.

    Gawd the NWO was brilliant. You can count wrestling "cool" on one hand. The NWO had it in spades. The music, the presentation, the whole black/white, THAT tshirt.

    Nash and Hall were always infinitely charismatic but as the outsiders they took the p*ss regarding being effortlessly bad ass. Hogan at the time coming out strumming the NWO sprayed title to Voodoo Child. The whole entourage feel of it. I think Bischoff and his swagger added so much too.

    Plain black tshirt with just three white letters in a rectangle. So f'n simple. There is a reason the original NWO tshirt still sells

    Orton has always had great T-shirts. I particularly liked the 2007 one.

    Steve Austin has one for his Broken Skull Ranch and I want it. Just plain black with bSr. Properly cool looking

    99% of Austin's t-shirts were deadly. And there must have been about a hundred of them. New one each week.

    Hard to look past the classics. White Hot Rod, Austin 3:16 and Cactus Jack Wanted Poster:

    This is the Austin one I had:

    scsaunleash.jpg

    Got it at the Summer Bash show in 2005 at the RDS and I don't think it took it off for at least a week after!

    He did always have great shirts, wouldn't mind getting another one or two now actually, he's one of the few wrestlers that has merch you could wear anywhere (except a church :pac:)
