When he was TNA champ, and that was a few years back, Foley was horrible in the ring. He's fucked. So a match with him and Taker now would be rotten. It would also be beyond doubt that Taker would win. And half the fans would probably have no clue who Foley is.

Nah, he comes back enough that people still know who he is. They might not know why he's so big or being chanted or even why he sticks around but they'll know the face and the name.

Everyone else has already covered what I'd say, no thanks to Taker/Foley.

Obviously HHH has wrestled again since anyway and will carry on as a COO type character for years, but I felt last year was the perfect send-off for all three involved. I hope Taker never wrestles again to be honest, that shot of the three of them at the top of the ramp is a fine way to go out.

I couldnt agree more, 3 of the biggest names in Wrestling standing together celebrating undertakers 20-0 Streak? Couldnt think of a better send off

WWE's website has an article up on the new WWE Title belt. They revealed that Paul Teutul Sr. of Orange County Choppers fame made the belt from a concept the WWE creative team had.Orange County Choppers had help from famed wrestling belt maker Dave Millican.

WWE says that 18 months ago, it was decided they wanted to get rid of the spinner belt and WWE’s Senior Vice President of Creative Services Stan Stanski had to come up with a new design.They talked ideas such as using a red leather strap and even having the title with door hinges on both sides.

Stanski said:

"Our idea was never to take a step back or do something predictable or expected. We wanted to evolve the brand and create something that’s never been done before. You don’t always know what a traditional title might represent. We wanted you to know immediately that this was the WWE Championship."

The article notes that WWE wants this title belt to stick around for a long time. More than $50,000 went into making the belt and it was mentioned that they had planned to unveil it at WrestleMania 28 but that obviously didn't happen. One of the earlier designs had a massive, 3D eagle that grasped the central WWE logo with its talons.

Holy f**k :lol:

That should have been the end, but HHH already fucked it by coming back to face Brock Lesnar. Which is a shame. It was perfect.

Supposedly Foley falls into same bracket as Edge. Its a straight no chance ever again.

No surprise. Foley was doing mental shit since the very early 90s, before Edge was even a wrestler. Surprised he can still move, cos he's taken some frightening bumps. There's one he mentions in first book where Vader powerbombs him on the concrete and he loses all feelings in his limbs for a couple of minutes, and that was just a shitey angle for a crappy WCW show.

Lets be honest, every match foley had he was either hit with a chair or had something done to him. Anyone read the interview about when he got thrown off the cell roof by taker? Apparently baclstage vince begged him to never do something as mad as that again.

Aye he mentions that in his book as well. A mental, mental man, yet one of the most intelligent wrestlers ever! How can a guy that mental write 4 books (not including his childrens books?). Some of the shit he did in front of just 30 people is breathtakingly dumb, and the shit he did in Japan is masochistic.

I've never seen any of his Japan stuff, but heard he was getting thrown through barbed wire ropes onto glass etc. or was that just ecw?

Decent episode this week

The Punk v Cena match to face Dwayne could be dragged out another week yet- say we get the dodgy, e.g.double count-out finish next week, a rematch the following week (maybe with a stipulation, e.g. steel cage) could be declared, allowing Taker another week to determine his fitness

Interested to see what they do with Mark Henry- he can't squash Sin Cara every week

Expect to see a "USA, USA!" tag team of Swagger and Cesaro sometime before Mania. Only Jim Traynor can come close to Swagger these days when it comes to spewing out buzz phrases that appeal to Sevconians

Surprised we saw the Y2J, Sheamus & Ryback v The Shield match this week- when they started that promo, my thoughts were more that it would be a good Mania match- would certainly have made good use of 3 guys currently without an obvious match

Skipped through the Brodus Clay & Ten Pies match- seriously bored of both
