It was reported as a full hip replacement, which should be career-ending on its face, and even if it weren't, the average recovery for someone who isn't a broken-down mess is six months at minimum.

I mean, I guess Hogan kept going for a while after having a hip replaced, but that was Hogan and he was in TNA at the time.

And so continues the tradition of 2k commercials doing a much better job presenting WWE characters than WWE itself.

For a while there were legit contract clauses that the ads for the game could never have HHH be seen taking a finisher in-game

My guess is he wasn't happy enough with that this year and specifically wanted his memorabilia the only one not showed being destroyed

Randy Orton is loving terrible, especially because there's always another possible title reign looming in the shadows. Jinder is not going to touch the top belt again after he loses it. Period. This is his one moment, and then he is done. But Randy? loving hell, how many more awful promos and boring title defenses must I be subjected to?

How many more times must I see Randall Keith "Ramp Snake" "The Viper" Orton get gifted a championship reign because the company feels they owe him another one?


How many more times must I see Cena/Orton teased yet again?





Jinder Mahal is a bad case of the flu. Randy Orton is a goddamn plague.

no, this is over the top. i think randy's insanely talented and one of the best workers in the company, even now. he's just the worst loving babyface ive ever seen lol

I get why people are pissed about the match ending, but come on man... the alternative is just like any other ladder match. Two random people come from hiding next to the ring to climb the ladder, someone falls off, and the other grabs the case.

This poo poo is entertaining as hell. Have we ever had someone blatantly cheat so badly in a ladder match before?

I mean some rumours said Mania, so let's double down on Jinder :allears:

Imagine every week a walking pimple comes out, pulls a face that looks like he's struggling on the toilet, while saying "YOU PEOPLE!"

Then he has a bad match with your favorite, and wins the bad match.

Imagine that for nine more months.

Didn't Kane get Rollins' mitb for him?

EDIT: When the Jinder experiment fails and he goes hurdling back down the card, let's say next year, I'm calling that Orton is going to destroy him multiple times to make up for the three loses.

it's actually offensive to go on and on about the first ever womens' something or other all the time and then undermine it in this way. it's worse than verbally mocking anyone who may have been naively proud for a brief moment of how "far" wwe has come at this amazing snail-like pace. i get that you don't think it's a big deal and may even feel like it's stupid to feel that way, but to some people it is a slap in the face after forcing us all to sit through stephanie's masturbatory speeches and video packages crediting herself for stupid poo poo that doesn't make even a single woman actually look good or capable in the end. david benoit's finisher should be called laying the hot bible.
