We can't fathom their predicament, tbh. I think this is why HBK cut his off. Didn't want to be one of those wrestlers who just can't let their image go. I don't know why Mick Foley cut his off, though. He had bad wrestling hair in his prime. lol. And why the fuck HHH shaved his is beyond me. Yeah, I get it's because he took the office job for Vince, but his hairline is still pristine and isn't showing any signs of thinning.

Undertaker has had a shaved head recently, and it looked much better. Growing it out and dying it jet black looks awful.

HHH specifically said he did not want to look like Michael Hayes. lol.

Yeah, but with HHH his hair was still perfectly fine when he shaved it, and you can still see it is growing in thick and the hair line has not receded.

My hairline receded slightly when I was 19 or 20, but then it started thinning in my mid 20's. I could have kept the hair a little longer and been fine, but with it thinning it just became harder to maintain, spent more time fixing it than I used to. Shaved it all the way off, haven't looked back.

But his main job is as an executive of a billion dollar company. It is understandable that he would not want to walk around with some ridiculous looking kayfabe hair all the time.

Can you imagine the amount of steroids Vince has consumed in his lifetime?

Hard to imagine. It's such a gray area. So many types of steroids that do different things to the body.

Clearly did nothing to his overall well-being. 73 and in better shape than nearly any 73 year old on the planet.

I think he is a great endorsement for sensible use. Other than blowing out both quads at the same time, he hasn't shown any ill effects.

Roman Reigns is out for awhile due to Leukemia. I hate it for the guy, but I think this could be a potential good step for Vince to see there are more note worthy people that can possibly hold the title and push the company forward instead of keeping it hostage like it's been the past few years.

I know a lot of people hate and are critical of Roman, and I get what you're saying, Havok, but this ain't the way. Vince decides it all and this just sucks.

I know it's ultimately up to Vince, i'm just saying I hope he can see the dollar signs from somebody else. Don't just stick to one person for a five year span, look what happens. Something comes up and you're stuck with hardly any real top guys except DX, Lesnar and Taker.

Talent pool is weak and you can only do so much in PG era. Roman is one of the best in a weak ass era of WWE.

The talent pool isn't weak at all. They just water them down and kill their characters on the main roster. I like Rusev and all they do is give him Cuck storylines with Lana. It's stupid as hell since he was massively over with Rusev Day. They can't handle anything organic and when they capitalize on it, it dies a painful death and doesn't help anybody in the long run. American Alpha (Jason Jordan/Chad Gable) was putting on some great matches in NXT and they squandered on the main roster. Now one has a neck injury and may never wrestle and the other is paired with Bobby Roode for no good reason.

The way their playing up Roman tonight it feels like if he manages to return he'll get a Cena level type return pop at a future rumble.

This is the WWE as it will be now and moving forward. Half of tonight's show feels like a public service announcement. Segments about Roman's leukemia, the "Women's Revolution", Susan Komen pink ropes bullshit.

If it was 1980's NWA, they would have not wasted the leukemia and would have had Strowman snap his neck or break his leg to put him on the shelf. How awesome would it have been to have a Bray Wyatt beat down followed by a fireball to his face?

It just feels weak to me, from what I've seen. But I was spoiled as a wrestling fan, and only watched religiously for almost 10 straight years during the golden era of the Monday Night Wars, Attitude era etc... Most of the shit now is just cringey as hell. Enzo and Cass is like WWE's own "Try Not to Cringe" challenge. And I lose every time. The crowd is too involved to the point where I feel like the show is about them, sometimes. The New Day are apparently the hottest tag team in wrestling by far, and their trumpet shit just gets on my nerves. Like a college football game when the band plays that deafening marching band shit after every play. Just stahp.

Alexa Bliss knows how to rock the mic, and she is my current favorite in the entire roster, but they are pushing Ronald so fucking hard that I can't even watch that portion now. As far as Roman, when he worked that crowd for like 8 minutes straight without saying a word, getting boo'd to shit, and saying "This is my yard now" was one of the best things I've seen in wrestling. That triggered crowd all did the collective Miz Girl imitation. It was beautiful.
