Pretty much.
They have been really lazy with belt designs.
A combination of black and red would have made the universal title look better and they could have easily re-designed the tag team titles. Right now, it just looks like some sort of cheap consolation prize.

I expected the Women's title to be a blue re-skin, but held hope that the tag belts would be unique. Instead those tag belts look like silver medals.

Kinda disappointed that the women just have a six-way for the title, I would have setup a mini-league round robin thing with either the winner takes it, top 2 or 4 go to a tournament. Actually showcase some wrestling with the women especially since most of them haven't been seen much or at all in the last 6 months. Although if they get 2 matches a week that is some sort of improvement I suppose.

I think that Carmella/Nikki segment was a double turn and if it is I like it.

And last, but not least(first for Vile), Slater is staying around for a bit tagging with Ryhno. But they have to get the 'gold' for Heath to stay. Not sure they get through American Alpha.

Did someone watched Talking Smack after SD ended? That thing was great, especially The Miz, who cut the promo of his carrer at the expense of DB, here it is a the complete version of that segment

I agree about Universal title, the red leather makes it look cheap. I would have preferred some sort of different design, maybe similar to the old winged eagle.

However, I like the SD tag title belts better than the Raw ones. Blue and silver are a better color scheme than black and copper, in my eyes.

One better than the bronze medals the Raw ones resemble, I guess.

It totally looked like it, and makes a lot of sense. Carmella has been getting next to no reaction so might as well turn her heel. Nikki probably should have returned as a face in the first place.

I'd love to see this redemption story end with Heath and Rhyno winning the tag titles, but unfortunately I don't even think they get to American Alpha. I think they're going to lose in the first round to whatever mystery team Shane and Bryan set them up to take on, and then maybe Rhyno gores Heath for good measure. But we shall see!

Oh, and Miz is doing some of the best work of his career. Kudos to that guy.

I'm not buying that bit about making the Intercontinental title great. It's all meaningless when he gets back in the ring because it becomes scripted again. Miz got pissed at Bryan because he more or less said his wrestling sucks. Miz did a shoot more or less damning the guy for retiring which had to hurt and it's fact Bryan doesn't even want to be GM, he was told he had to. No wonder he stormed off, definitely didn't feel planned. Dolph does the same thing, he does good promos when Vince ain't around controlling it.

I don't know why Bryan doesn't call out the fact if they did strict tests for all the wrestlers that most of them would probably be forced to retire also. I don't blame him for feeling pissed at a corrupt process they got there. Like the fact part timers don't get tested and you can't dispute if you get busted for something you have a prescription for because their special fucking doctor didn't prescribe it.

I'm sure many haven't been tested once, much less a few. And this includes when they were full time. So that includes Cena, Triple H, 'Taker.

Edge and Christian admitted to steroid use in one interview in 2004-2005. Neither guy was ever truly big but they helped heal through injuries. There's no doubt in my mind that Cena has used it, probably still does, and Triple H absolutely has, and does it every PPV he gets on.

Cena definitely used roids. You look back at when he was a bodybuilder and you look at him now. He's smaller now than he was then, and he's still a big motherfucker now.

Triple H obviously took roids. One thing I found interesting was that during the summer months of 2005, Triple H looked flabby. Apparently, that was around the time he was trying to conceive his first child with Stephanie and steroids causes testicular failure. It's a side effect and was one of the reasons why they found a lot of testosterone at the Benoit house.

Out of the three that you listed, I think that Taker was the one that didn't use roids. I don't think that there's any evidence that proves that Taker took them, because he's naturally big. If there is evidence, I will change my opinion.

On a somewhat related note, I still think it is a shame that Foley and Ambrose didn't get to have their feud. Story-wise, it had a lot of fuel with Ambrose alluding to his CZW past. With a lot of hardcore brawling, and Ambrose bumping hi ass off, I think it could have been a good match even with Mick's limitations.

I'd be surprised if he didn't, especially in the 90s. He used to be workout partners with Brian Adams, a known juicehead. Now, due to his physique, I think there's no way Taker is on steroids.

It is a bit shocking to admit, but Slater has been a highlight for both Raw and Smackdown the past couple of weeks. The altercation with Lesnar was the most I've been interested in Lesnar with a mic since he said he was going to fuck his wife and drink Coors Lite (because Budweiser doesn't pay him) after one of his early UFC wins.

Cena once admitted he used roids years ago, but dont think he still uses.

Slater needs a spot, he's probably the most entertaining person in the WWE right now

WWE Hall of Famer Mr Fuji dies at the age of 82

WWE is saddened to learn that WWE Hall of Famer Harry Fujiwara, known to WWE fans as Mr. Fuji, passed away this morning at the age of 82.

Fuji spent more than 30 years entertaining fans worldwide as both an in-ring competitor and one of WWE’s greatest managers. A five-time WWE World Tag Team Champion, Fuji was infamous for keeping small bags of salt in his tights which he would throw into his opponents’ eyes.

After retiring from the ring, Fuji managed a litany of WWE’s most feared Superstars, such as George “The Animal” Steele, Kamala, Killer Khan, Demolition, The Powers of Pain, Yokozuna and most notably, “Magnificent” Don Muraco.

With Muraco, Fuji treated WWE fans to the classic Fuji Vice, Fuji General, Fuji Bandito and Fuji Chan series. These series were ahead of their time because spoofing successful television shows as they tried to break into Hollywood was the epitome of sports-entertainment.

His career will be remembered by different generations for different reasons but Mr. Fuji, whether as a Superstar or manager, is one of the most entertaining performers in the history of WWE.

WWE extends its condolences to Fujiwara’s family, friends and fans.

Really sucks. I loved him with Demolition and Yokozuna.
