Just look at it. Sandow looks the business with that belt.

i wish he wrestled on RAW, an ADR/Ricardo feud should have happened

Me too! Ricardo/El local is actually really good in the ring & they had the perfect chance to introduce him when ADR attacked him with the bucket, the whole managing RVD just doesn't work for me.

@Phillips I'd love for Sandow to change the look of the WHC if he has a successful cash in.

Things I thought looking at the WWE classic belt/current wrestlers feature -

• Sandow really does look top with a belt

• The current tag belts are wank compared to the old ones

• The Miz with that belt is a sin.

Things I thought looking at the WWE classic belt/current wrestlers feature -

Antonio Cessaro, Wade Barret, William Regal, Santino Marella and Drew McIntyre are all from Europe.

No idea why WWE don't accept that they've never improved on the designs of some of their title belts, and start using some of them again. I know they've been doing that for a year with the Intercontinental Championship, and I wish they'd get rid of the white belt strap, looks naff these days.

Sami Zayn/El Generico's best move? I'll throw in the Double Pumphandle Powerbomb

I like the white strap on the Intercontinental belt, although I do think it won't look better on a guy than it did when Cody Rhodes held, it almost seems designed for him.



Best moves of Zayn? I do enjoy the Blue Thunder Driver.

You can't replace the big gold belt jas you mad. Liking all the debut videos on youtube at the moment, seems to be a lot with Kurt Angle in.

Also AJ is looking good with the womens title, and am right in thinking Regal was european champ at one point.

Yeah, Regal was European champ, and Layla was Women's champ too.

I don't know, there's something bland about the Women's title. Don't get me wrong, it's better than the Butterfly title though. The best women's title out there just now is the NXT one.

YES! YES! YES!

Hulk Hogan's TNA contract is up, and reportedly he's not renewed. Whether this is all in storyline or not remains to be seen, but I can smell a new "Wrestlemania XXX Host" segment coming up...

He wants a match if you can believe that, with John Cena, which isn't hard to believe.

Oh... no. That will be awful... no...

I think it could get Sandow a lot of heat if done properly as he could spout off about being being the best world champion of all time & how the current belt isn't fit for a man of his intellect.

You're welcome.

How long do you think they'll keep Sandow as Mr. Money in the Bank?

That's a good idea Jas, you could have someone challenge him using the angle that he's disrespecting the WHC.

A good while yet perhaps about 6 months or so because as much as I like him he needs to be built up more, seems like they're waiting anyway by giving him a string of losses recently.

Exactly! The perfect person would be Cody Rhodes in my Opinion, who has a chance to sky rocket as a face in the whole "Best for business" HHH angle.

If he's booked rightly, it won't be difficult to make Cody a main event star after this Rhodes family feud runs its course. A feud with a corporate Sandow would be brilliant.

Ye know what I've just now realised? Both HHH & Sandow were trained by the same man so it would be an even better fit.

It'd give Sandow something to do as well - I know they've teased ADR being corporate by attacking RVD at all-too convenient times, but Sandow would be a much better corporate WHC. Slap the IC title on fucking Wade Barrett or something and you have corporate domination.

Know who I've been thinking would make a good corporate champion? The Miz. He's a much better fit as a chosen one than Randy Orton is, he's perfect. Don't be surprised if somewhere down the line he has the heel turn we want him to have, and becomes the WWE Champion.


In other news, WWE have been teasing a Survivor Series return of The Undertaker via Twitter.

I'd have said so too if they weren't running with this "lol isn't the Miz a bit shit, kill him Randy" storyline.

Also, just saying how awesome this would be: "So Daniel, looks like you're a man short for your team. I guess you'll have to go against Randy, The Shield and me with a man do-*GONG*"

I can't see Taker working a singles match at SS, and I'm pretty sure it'll be a Shield related return.

Los Matadores debut tonight then. Seems weird that they haven't featured on any live shows with this gimmick (unless I've not heard about it), bit odd sending out a couple of guys on TV with a new gimmick that hasn't been tested on a crowd before. Will it crash and burn, or will be it daft enough to get over?

Also, there's Triple H's offer to the Rhodes family, which is said to be

Spoiler:

I'm fairly certain it'll bomb hard.

Also, the Rhodes storyline is just amazing.

I mean look at this. Seems like they realised what trick they missed with the Punk angle two years ago.

It's quite brilliant that someone decided to do that. Guessing someone in WWE told that company to do that.

Still not as brilliant as this mind. This was in 2005 when Matt Hardy was legitimately fired by WWE. While he was in a real life relationship with Lita, she began seeing Edge. Edge and Lita both were hounded on TV by fans claiming that they had screwed Matt (this was while Hardy wasn't working for WWE, remember). WWE took the brilliant step of capitalising on this heat for the two, by putting them together as an on-screen couple. This is when the references to the fired Matt Hardy began getting acknowledged on TV. Finally, Matt showed up on TV in this brilliant worked shoot

Great angle that, and probably the most over Matt Hardy ever was.
