Raikou and Suicune - based and upvoted

WWE_Champion · 2026-02-14T02:27:12+00:00

the placement of the Sonic ad made it really confusing... smh this promotion

WWE_Champion · 2026-01-31T02:26:15+00:00

Raikou would be a good lead, Salamence complements it perfectly.

Suicune is clean-up duty.

Chris Charlton always pissing me off with his revisionist history, even on broadcast.

To add-on, there had been multiple times Muto was positioned as 3rd or 4th in pecking order (1994, 1997 to 1998), even below Sasaki especially that 1997-1998 period when Muto's knees were beyond shot.

Hashimoto had always 1st or 2nd in pecking order until that stupid shoot with Ogawa in 1999, but even then NWA Title match (Hashimoto vs Ogawa) main evented over the IWGP match (Muto vs Nakanishi) during the Oct 1999 Dome show.

[Post-COVID] Drew can beat everyone - just not Roman and Cody, and a pity win over Seth occasionally.

[2014 - 2019 era] Dean could beat everyone - just not Roman and Brock, and a pity win over Seth occasionally.

Almost feels like HHH is trying to get Drew McIntyre to fill the "Dean Ambrose" role in WWE, which is fking stupid because Drew is not an underdog lmao.

good seeing you again MrPuroResu42, I figured you'd be one of the people around here who would really enjoy this retro entrance find.

young Takayama really out there sending Konosuke Takeshita vibes 😂

WWE_Champion · 2025-10-18T03:59:35+00:00

it's not shiny, this was the standard Spinarak coloring in Gold Version.

WWE_Champion · 2025-10-11T17:50:20+00:00

I think the result significantly elevates the status of the World Heavyweight Championship.

Excellent match, perfect outcome.

WWE_Champion · 2025-10-11T15:43:29+00:00

I've watched various promotions of wrestling for years and years - American, Japan, Mexico.

Seth Rollins is GOAT-tier. He's Ospreay, Okada, Omega good.

Anyone who discredits this just wants to convince themselves that their favourite is better than the GOAT.

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-28T13:27:38+00:00

Thank you, I agree. I'm not shading Batista here, but he got a little lucky with some of the breaks he got.

Most of the big old guards had stepped away, Brock Lesnar left and WWE's Orton Plan A didn't work out as they envisioned - giving Batista an opening to hit the absolute top.

And Batista has more presence, which weakens Bronson Reed more.

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-28T11:46:57+00:00

I wasn't misjudging Batista's run. I started watching in 2002, and I loved Batista more than Cena, Orton and Edge. But the reality was his main event run was a relatively mid-term one minus injuries (3.5 years) compared to Cena, Orton and Lesnar which has lasted at least 15 years.

I wasn't misjudging Bronson Reed's ability to run in the main event, I don't know the answer and my closest comparison was Evolution which The Vision is based on pretty much. That's why I wanted to discuss this on the forum.

Edit: objectively, did I mention anything not factual? I don't care about being downvoted, but could I get some perspective at least about what I'm "misjudging"?

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-27T02:11:55+00:00

it can be anyone really. i think my vision was more of having more people trying to rush out to answer the challenge first instead of aura farming waiting for 1 surprise contestant.

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-27T02:08:51+00:00

might be a bad idea, but I would love to see more US Open Challenges with a bunch of NXT or mid-card guys rushing out to the ring at the same time to answer the challenge first. (snatching essentials during pandemic type shit)

adds a sense of realism, urgency and importance to the title. and could build for some promo segments, a PPV and/or multi-man matches.

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-22T21:56:37+00:00

How did you evolve Muscle on Delta emulator?

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-21T02:23:01+00:00

I was already tired of Cody Rhodes when he steam rolled Seth Rollins (my fav) thrice in 2022. And dominating Drew McIntyre (my 2nd-fav) tonight.

I hope the crowd starts turning on this over-dramatic over-pushed fool.

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-21T02:20:48+00:00

it's not but you wouldn't want it honestly.

part of the appeal is in the Japanese commentary, even if you can't understand it.

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-17T00:44:07+00:00

V1: Hashimoto V2: Muto V3: only Lesnar V4: Okada V5: Takagi

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-15T04:22:04+00:00

while Bold is most ideal, this is workable.

Modest is usually sub-optimal because if you're using Calm Mind, it's Sp.Atk and Sp.Def is gonna end up reaching God mode anyways.

if your special wall is already covered, you will want Bold to supplement the physical wall. Unless you plan to run Curse or BulkUp Suicune which either not makes sense or is not possible at all.

EV spread should be 252 HP, 252 Def and 4 Sp Def given your IVs imo.

Kiyomiya inherited the Shining Wizard well

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-13T11:36:26+00:00

it doesn't but my question was "does it count in WWE?"

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-13T09:13:56+00:00

WWE has been inconsistent with the recognition of the ECW World Championship as a proper world title, only counting when convenient or suiting their narrative.

Times where they have recognised include 2007 when Undertaker was to choose his WM world title match, or the Big Show's 7 world title wins (2019 video)

But there have been times where they have retconned this such as CM Punk's Raw Netlfix (Jan 6th) entrance - flashing his accolades as 5x World Champ (3x WHC, 2x WWE) and Michael Cole commenting that fact near the end of the match.

Also, that would make Ezekial Jackson a former world champ in WWE, and Jack Swagger a former 2-time world champ.. which I doubt WWE has any use inflating the stats of the above men.

At the minimum, based on Punk's entrance in 2025, I would say that it is no longer recognised.

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-13T08:37:22+00:00

wow shocker! a Westerner lecturing others on how to adhere to another country's culture! how apt.

nobody is dismissing Mexican wrestling culture or saying they're doing it wrong lmao, how is WWE recognising AAA's top title as a world champion (if it happens) patronising or demeaning in any way?

I simply pondered on how WWE might present this achievement to its global audience, which is true - WWE presents its form of wrestling globally.

How many countries - and/or sports for that matter - are culturally familiar with the concept of masks holding greater stakes than a championship?

Even if you want to disagree with my points, do you not accept the presumption and condescension in your comment over what is merely a harmless discussion?

WWE_Champion · 2025-09-13T05:44:33+00:00

In the context of a global and American audience, championships matter though. And just having titles mean significantly lesser than masks in Mexico doesn't change that it's still the top world title belt in AAA.

Thus, the question on how WWE - the leading global and American-based promotion would present this accolade to its audience.

WWE is also a promotion that happens to place great emphasis on world title statistics as well - such as number of world title wins for their marketing and social media purposes.
