I don't like how they made Big Gold smaller though.

Did they?..I know the design has been changed a little and it's not quite as detailed as it was back in the 80s, but I didn't know, or never noticed, it was smaller..Comparison pics?
 
Source Claims Batista Has No Issues Working With Daniel Bryan

It's the broken promises that were the issue...

- As we've been reporting for a while, there was a back and forth over whether Batista would be staying through Extreme Rules or through Payback. Some reports suggested that the Animal was finishing up because the company wanted to book him as losing to Daniel Bryan, but PW.net claims that they have a source who said that the problem isn't Daniel Bryan but rather the company breaking promises to Batista. "WWE wants that story out, but it's all twisted," the source said. "(Batista) would do five jobs for Bryan. They've f---ed him in money, booking, broken promises (relating to his) schedule, and promoting his (outside projects). Had that not happened, he would be around until late June, but because Vince (McMahon) f---ed him, he's not."

The source adds that the company is quietly trying to promote the story of Batista not wanting to put over Bryan in order to turn opinion against Batista, noting, "...they dragged Daniel Bryan into this to vilify Batista. Daniel is beloved and a martyr so he benefits, but it has nothing to do with jobbing. They've twisted. It's classic Vince. Look at Ultimate Warrior and SummerSlam, Bret Hart in Montreal. (Vince) puts out his narrative. There are always two sides."

The source adds that Vince McMahon is directly involved in trying to resolve the situation and that things are tenuous right now. As for Batista vs. Bryan, the company didn't move ahead with that because they want a multi-PPV program with the two and that's not possible with Batista's promotional commitments to Guardians of the Galaxy.


I actually believe this more than anything else, cause Batista tapped out to Bryan at WM30 along with being pinned by Reigns just last week

As previously reported, WWE has plans for a Cesaro baby face push in the future. The general consensus is that when Cesaro eventually splits from Paul Heyman, he will enter into a program with Brock Lesnar, one that could possibly take place as one of the main events at this year's SummerSlam pay-per-view.

Another idea for SummerSlam, while not yet confirmed, and is actually up in the air based on how things turn out for The Shield, is a Roman Reigns vs. Triple H main event at SummerSlam.

The idea seems to be that Cesaro goes over on Lesnar and Reigns goes over on HHH at SummerSlam, with the mindset being it would help elevate them to top-tier baby face status.

It's worth noting that when WWE maps things out that far in advance, that plans change a lot as everything is a moving target that tends to change on a month-to-month basis.

hahahahahahahahahahahhah all jokes aside. The 2nd match will make EVERYONE in the NT Wrestling Federation very happy.
 
Alicia Fox is one of the more aggressive athletes on the roster man.

Say what you want about female athletes, her damn Northern Lights Suplex is perfect.
 
Her aggression and her bridges are top notch. She just needs a better platform to showcase her skills.
She has improved over the years man. She deserves some praise.
