Roman Reigns tweeted this out - it's probably fan-made but I'd totally see this Michael Bay movie.

I'm actually kinda happy they're putting Roman front and center. Motherfucker's got PRESENCE.

Isn't Roman the personal project of HHH, in the way that Ryback is Steph's? I think I remember reading that.

I've heard that about so many NXT guys. Ambrose, Ohno, Maddox, Reigns, all of them have been called "HHH guys" on the internet at sometime or another. I wouldn't look into it too much.

Most of those guys are HHH signings but not necessarily projects. When I say projects I mean guys that HHH (or Steph in the case of Cena and Ryback) are building from the ground up, starting from developmental through the main event. Ambrose, Ohno, Sin Cara, and Kharma were all supposedly sought out for deals at HHH's request but they obviously had characters built-in when they were.

It's about time someone did that or at least threatened it. I have in fact watched wrestling before.

Why is it time already? He's getting decent heat for it and people are talking about the angle. Are you really clamoring for him to wrap up the part of the character that's getting this attention so he can be in meaningless matches with Brodus and Jodi on Saturday Morning Slam?

It certainly is minimalist.

That is not what minimalist poster design is. Simply leaving a bunch of whitespace at the bottom is not minimalist, it's stupid and lazy. Minimalist poster design would be a vector drawing of a viper and a dollar sign with the word 'PAYBACK'.

There's this movie at Cannes this year about wrestling in the 60's called "Our Heroes Are Dead Tonight". It's getting kind of mixed reviews, but I really like the stills.











quote:

France in the early 60s. Simon, a wrestler, wears a white mask. In the ring, he is known as "The Specter". He suggests to his friend Victor who has just returned from combat to be his adversary in the ring and wear a black mask, and be known as "The Slaughterer of Belleville".

But for Victor, still shaken from his experience in combat, this is too much : for once in his life, he would like to be the good guy, the one people cheer on. Simon then suggests they switch masks. But it proves less easy to fool the rest of wrestling crowd...

I keep seeing that picture and thinking why is Eric Bischoff on the cover of the new WWE game. His pose, facial expression, hair style, and clothing all look just like Bischoff at first glance.

Maybe its because I have been watching ppvs from 2003 lately.

I've been saying since he debuted that Brad Maddox is a better Garrett Bischoff than Garrett Bischoff. He even looks more like Eric than Garrett does.

Are they acknowledging that Tyson Kidd and Natalya are married on TV? Because their wedding (and her bachelorette party) is definitely part of the reality show.

Is it HDR? Is it Photoshopped? Don't care, looks amazing.


This photo should be used in all instances when someone wants to stick out from the mold by not going with a traditional suit. Cesaro and Sandow look great in their traditional suits; Titus, Wade and Drew look okay without a tie; Justin looks like a laughing stock (particularly due to the glare making his skin too close to his shirt and tie, and his hair also blending together to make a too similar look; and Darren looks loving stupid.

All those outfits are Real Bad, other than Wade and what I can see of Drew. The worst of the worst rental jobs.

To be fair, the average sizes aren't exactly going to fit them very well.

And Cesaro doesn't look TOO bad. That said, he could rock anything, really.

I find it weird that Darren, despite seemingly being in his own clothes and having the physique of an underwear model, looks so frumpy. You'd think any of these guys would be able to afford a tailor or at least alterations. Where's Mark Henry when you need him? You *know* that dude has an ace tailor.
