And that one of his easier/not putting anyone else in immediate danger fails. Batista has been one of the faces of the company for years, left, and came back to a top spot, all despite the fact that he's NEVER been good in the ring.
He does have the 'look' that Vince wants though. Tall, muscle, white.

:smh::smh::smh::smh:​

Batista isnt white tho, i think hes p.r or something to that nationality. Wwe has made references to it in the past.

Like i said the fact that miz was wwe champ is a slap in henrys face, henry was hands down the most over heel in the company and they refused to put the belt on him. They just used him as just another cena obstacle. Its like they made a bigger effort to push a mexican than they ever have a black wrestler outside of rock.

I agree on the lashley ball drop, although he was booked pretty good in wwe/ecw.

Reigns shouldnt need to talk too much because at this point thats his character, hes the no nonsense badass who would rather beat your ass then tell you hows hes gonna do it. They need to leave him as that because it works, he has good mic skills tho because he knows how to improvise. That shit monday was pure gold imho hes evolved recently, i was hoping theyd leave him with that shield theme and look because ambroses theme sucks to me but rollins is growing on me. They should let a band add to rollins and romans themes like they did with batista and edge. Im also glad they killed that lame ass "whole world" played on the harmonica shit they had with the wyatts cuz that shit sucked.
 
Let's be realistic the only time the Rock is black is when they play video of his dad. His first gimmick was Samoan in nature, the tattoo that he displays is Samoan and they cart his Samoan mother out during his PPV matches. So they can push that "first African-American champ" shyt elsewhere

I never really considered the Rock black

He's Samoan just like Rikishi, Yokozuna, Umaga, The Snukas, The Usos

I feel the same way about them.

So you're just gonna ignore the whole time he was in Nation of Domination?
He's not black because his mother isn't?
That's like saying Obama isn't black because his mother is white.
All the material he came up with while in the Nation, could only be pulled off by a BLACK performer.
That's when he became The Rock character that we know today.

Batista is half white (mom) and Filipino (dad).
His mom stated so on his documentary DVD.
 
His being Black isn't a matter of opinion. We know who his father is and that makes him as Black as Halle Berry or Barack Obama.
He's never claimed to not be Black.

Has he ever claimed TO be black?!?! I am seriously asking cause I have never heard him say anything along the lines of "as a black man..." Like other people will do the talking and call him "African American" or "black" but I have never heard him acknowledge himself as a black man.

Dude wasn't Owen Hart in the Nation of Domination?!?! That material can be pulled off by Brendan Schaub!!! And he is white! And we aren't going to reference material that is written for someone in a universe that is based more on acting than anything else.

President Obama has said that he is a black man. Halle Berry has identified herself as a black woman. I consider The Rock like Tiger Woods. He has immediate black roots but he acknowledges them second. Which is fine, it is his life and he chooses his make up as he sees fit. But when shyt hits the fan and white folks want nothing to do with you don't try that "We all need to unify" bullshyt. I mean right now the Rock is playing Hercules and next to Superman there is no other character more beloved by white folks. I strongly doubt that if the Rock was going around like my man from CB4 (I'M BLACK YA'LL!!!) white folks wouldn't be having that shyt. I am not saying the Rock isn't black like it is a bad thing, just from what I have seen and heard from him he seems to acknowledge that Samoan side A LOT more and financially it seems to have paid off.
 
Did anyone else notice that when in the States Lana talks A LOT of shyt about President Obama. The minute they got to Canada they haven't said shyt about their Prime Ministers or mayors that have been in the news lately? I mean I get Linda tried (and failed multiple times) to run for governor on the Tea Party ballot but damn they are really playing this very Faux News style

She hasn't mentioned them by name, but she has talked shit about how weak they are. Also Pres. Obama is internationally known, they just flash his picture and people know him. Who the fuck runs Canada? :lol:

Dave Batista is Asian, dude.

That's what I meant. I didn't mean in the literal sense, because he is black. But I question do they consider/acknowledge him as a black man.

I know the money drove them to putting the title on him, but I wonder if The Rock wasn't half Samoan, would they have still put it on him?
 
I've never been a fan of Batista but him coming back made sense. He's done pretty good for himself outside of the WWE. I cant' take that from him. But his initial run with the company? I never understood it. Hell I didn't even get why they brought him back if it was for anything other than his celebrity.

Damn it these mother fuckers gonna get me again.:angry:



For me to get this it'll have to have all the legends it had in it last time as well as sting! I swore last 1 was gonna be the last 1 for me, I'm about to play my shit today actually.

I never heard D'Lo Brown say anything like that either. When has that ever come up. They completely dropped all the Samoan stuff when he was in the Nation and he was pretty Black before he got to the WWF working in Memphis as Flex Kavana.

Why wouldn't they? The talk game is what got him over and he did that as the leader of the Nation when it was an exclusively Black group.
The first time they said his father was Rocky Johnson, it's acknowledged that he's Black. No memorandum is needed once you do that.
I threw my wallet at the screen :smh:


:lol::lol::lol:
The appearance on Raw is coming.

Rollins is hurt, knee injury. WWE can't catch a break.

I hope he bounces back but if it stops the "Is he going to cash it in this week?" stuff for a while, that's a good thing. They beat that gimmick to death.

I'm reading that it was just a work, but it did look like he was legit hurt on TV
And the ending looked really awkward like it was improvised on the fly

Also, is the World Title now officially 'retired'?
I'm also reading that it might have been when Cena handed the title to Flair last night.
 
I was getting it regardless. I just want more stuff packed into Universe mode.

Sent From My Galaxy S5

This is the year that 2K has input since buying the license from THQ. I was on the fence about buying another wrestling game when I barely watch it anymore. I'm getting a new console in the next few months so may as well give it a try.
 
I customize EVERYTHING in the game so more freedom with that is welcome.

Sucks about Rollins. At least he can really surprise everyone with cashing in the MITB this time.
 
That's why storylines changes week after week because an injury could happen and change their plans.

Injuries affect things but the reason why storylines change from week to week are because Vince changes his mind from week to week.

BRAY, ROLLINS AND MORE: WWE INJURY UPDATES
by Mike Johnson @ 11:29 AM on 7/15/2014

As reported in the PWInsider.com Elite section:
*Bray Wyatt needed seven stitches to close the gash suffered when Ric Flair punched him in NYC. Wyatt's eye was blackened and swollen shut and WWE medical did a lot of work on it before Raw, draining it and using makeup so he could look presentable. Wyatt was said to be in good spirits about the entire thing as it was a scar Flair gave him in MSG. His attitude in general is really liked by the veterans of the locker room.

*Seth Rollins was 100% fine after Raw and the injury was completely scripted to remove him from the finish of the handicap match so the focus was on the competitors in the Battleground Fatal Four Way.

*Dean Ambrose had a bloody lip but beyond that he was fine following his beating on Raw. His hospital visit was just part of the show.



*Bad News Barrett had his shoulder checked out by physical therapists this week and will officially begin therapy in the next few weeks as he works to return to the ring. He's not expected back for at least several months


That's good news and it gives them an excuse to stop threatening every single week.
Since we know what Plan C is (BROOOOOCCCCK) then they won't overexpose Rollins knowing damn well, he's not going to be champ anytime soon.

Man im tired of cena headlining but i wont complain because hes just holding d bry titles for him.

But why wont wwe pull the trigger on reigns? Hes just as popular now as brock was going into summerslam against the rock. This is whats wrong with wwe, they dont make main eventers, they let dudes sizzle until they get stale and then they jobbing to the next up and comer.

I like Reigns but it's a bit too early for him to get the title. With that said he should get a full push possibly leading to him getting the "Wrestlemania moment" next year and winning his 1rst title there. Give the belt to Brock let him destroy people when he does show up and then let Reigns beat the unbeatable at Mania.
 
What a fuckin' cold ass way to sell a video game without even having the graphics in there. I'm about to go pre-order this shit if its next gen. :lol:

It's been announced next gen months ago. NBA 2K14 was the best lokking next gen this past year. I can't wait to see what WWE 2K15 will look like.
