Because "elegant" goes against Vince's sensibilities. He wants the AC/DC / Limp Bizkit of belts. -

WWE belt designs before they settled on the current one. Most of them look something Guy Fieri would wear to a restaurant opening/monster truck show. -

I've seen Kyle O'Reilly do the Nigel lariat from between the middle and bottom rope. I can't decide if it's awesome or terrible. -
Re Asuka's entrance: did the guys who did DOA Beach Volleyball work on this project? Also, I scrolled too fast through the roster list and read "Konnor" as "Konnan."

I was trying to find a pic of Flair on TV with the blurred tag belt but all I can find are pre-blur photos, which are also great: EDIT: GAH, beaten to it so I'll just leave this here: nice article about the history of the big gold belt -
AUGUST 2016 WRESTLING DISCUSSION

Shouldn't the fans turn on Big Cass the same way they turned on Reigns? Like Reigns when his push first started, he's The lesser member of a hot act Not at the level of his push, work-wise Only getting pushed because of cosmetic reasons I feel like right now the fans can't see this because of how hot the team is right now, but I wonder how things will be in a few months to a year when Cass is being pushed down their throats and Enzo is being minimized even more than he is now. -

One one hand, people who pull the "hurrrr hurrr that shit is fake" insult in 2016 are morons. It reminds me of the (now deceased) radio host I worked with a few times who often bragged about outing Sgt. Slaughter as not being a real Marine. Damn, next thing you'll tel me is Lazor Tron wasn't really from the future. On the other hand, the blame for the general public thinking wrestling is trash entertainment for children and retards falls solely on the heads of promoters who tried to keep up the con long past the point of credulity. -

I've never seen the Hogan mystery belt. I did some reading on it and I'm not sure what's better: 1) they literally made a belt with Hogan's face on it or 2) they got rid of it after three uses because Hogan didntt like how it fit on him. -

I downloaded this game but, reading all this, I can't muster the desire to play it.

Hall of Shame: two of the most uninspired and bland belt designs ever: The WWF Title around Mania 3, which came between Hogan's funky eagle belt and the winged eagle: The IC title they went with after the awesome "classic" IC design: For great belts, I'm partial to the classic 80s WWF IC and tag belts. Also, I loved the old UWF title belt. "Just put the initials on there as big as you can!" ROH ripped off the idea years later but you might as well steal from the best. -

http://vincentcrow.weebly.com/5/post/2013/05/wwes-ace-of-belts-dave-millicans-10-favorite-championship-titles.html I posted just as @The Green Meanie posted. So I've heard Denver, Wisconsin, and Minnesota as the source for the belt. -

The Awesome/Annoying TV COMMERCIAL Thread
Technico Support replied to piranesi's topic in MOVIES & TV
Yeah dudes but come on. Car insurance is bullshit. You're calling out the extreme example of some entitled twit wanting a whole new great car for free after totaling their current one. What about the fact that car insurance is the only insurance you're afraid to use? As soon as you file a claim, your rates go up. Shit, sometimes your rates go up without filing a claim because too many other people filed claims and the insurance company's profit projections got fucked for the year. That happened to me. My insurance went up so I called the company to ask why. They literally told me, "we had a bad winter." I said, "let me get this straight. My rates are going up because too many other people had accidents in the snow and ice?" Yep. To reiterate, car insurance is bullshit. -

The belts all looking the same had to be the idea of a person with too much experience in marketing and not enough experience in wrestling. I'm sure words like "brand," "verticals," "platforms," and "paradigms" were all bandied about in the meetings that led to that very bad decision. -

How much he makes isn't important. Being classified as an independent contractor, but being treated like an employee, and losing a big chunk of it to things your employer should cover but doesn't because they're sleazy, is a bad thing. If you made 500K but lost a major piece of it to trans, road expenses, health insurance, etc., you'd be a little salty over it, too. Read the list of employee characteristics that @joseph2112 posted. It's sad. These guys are absolutely employees of WWE. Vince is having his cake and eating it too. You see these arguments in sports fandom all the time. If a player complains, there are always fans who say, "that guy's a millionaire, fuck him!" Meanwhile that player's being screwed by billionaires. -
