You get the post raw bump. Takeover will probably tip if nxt people are coming up.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 09:39 PM) In Roman's defense nobody is getting any reaction at all as this crowd is just dead. But the show has sucked too so there's that. but for a crowd that was giving little to no reactions, he got a reaction, it was very audible and sustained boos.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) This summer we are probably driving down to Galveston Island with the kids. I can't wait. Going to Spain in July and Miami to see the Sox in August, can't wait for summer!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 09:29 AM) Pretty big news in the Observer this week: -WM32 has already broken the attendance record. -Lucha Underground is coming to Netflix. -There is indeed heat between Vince and HHH. Meltzer hinted at that before saying there's reasons HHH isn't involved in the Shane storyline. Basically HHH isn't fully behind Reigns, doesn't like how NXT wrestlers get treated once called up, and is uncomfortable with Shane being back in the picture. Meanwhile Vince doesn't think much of NXT as he doesn't see any of the performers as draws and doesn't like his perception as being out of touch. -Nakamura is the biggest ticket draw in the company. -WWE is still being very aggressive in the foreign talent market. They're making a big push for Okada from New Japan and someone from Lucha Underground/AAA. LU to Netflix is great news! I've only watched a few, but with Netflix will be much easier. The point about Vince and HHH is what drives me nuts about WWE at this point and leads me to believe nothing will be changing anytime soon. Hopefully Vince focuses on the Main Event scene and allows all the talent to feud on the mid-card and not job to Vince's guys. How he doesn't see money in Balor, especially the demon gimmick, and Bayley would be beyond me. From my understanding, most of the good wrestlers in LU are on 7 season contracts, so as long as LU is still producing seasons, their contracts are pretty iron clad (note, that's seasons, not years). I had heard WWE/NXT had a ton of interest in Prince Puma/Ricochet (and I believe Jack Evans), but with LU getting renewed, it was a no go.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 10:31 PM) Well that's one way to get hhh booed in Chicago. Nice booking. I just don't think it will be enough to have fans still boo HHH when Reigns "avenges" Ambrose, if anything, it will backfire more as people got a taste of Ambrose with HHH

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 10:42 AM) Anyone listen to ESPN radio outside of ESPN 1000? I'm loving The Right Time with Bomani Jones. occasionally once in awhile when I'm driving on weekends. Usually the NFL shows are good, John Clayton has a good one. I'll note that Mike Golic Jr. is a co-host on a weekend show, and he is every bit as horrific as you'd think

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) It's not Cena level apparently, but it's a decent amount. He also apparently gets decent pops at house shows. Also, VKM is just stubborn. Also, with Cena out rehabbing, Reigns has been doing the charity appearances and the like that Cena use to do. But also, it's VKM being stubborn. Honestly though, with proven popularity of non-traditional guys, but Vince's continued push of Reigns and his reported love of Braun Strowman, nothing will change. I just hope at this point they keep people like Styles, Cesaro, eventual call ups like Balor, Nakamura, etc... in upper mid-card or mid-card feuds, I'd much rather have that then them jobbing to HHH, Reigns, Cena and Orton.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 19, 2016 -> 12:49 PM) I know that this is a foreign concept with some people, but it's not illegal to date a 17 year old, just have sex with one. Varies state to state, IL 17 is perfectly legal unless you're in a position of authority.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 10:46 AM) How long were you dating? I'm kind of in the same boat that everything I do is critiqued. I've been dating my girlfriend for 5 years and she wants to move in after I graduate in May, but I really don't want to because I don't have a job lined up yet and no money for rent on a place. Just last week she said I was spreading mayonnaise on my sandwich wrong. I dropped the knife and walked out of the kitchen. Not nearly as long as you were, only talking months for us, but, I'm guessing I'm a bit older than you, so spidey senses trigger a touch quicker.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 01:44 PM) You liked her company but I really think you made the right call. You can find a girl that's more up to your speed and that will really help your relationship flourish. There are billions of people on the planet; there are multiple compatible partners for everyone if you ask me. Thanks, appreciate the words!

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 17, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) I feel you on this man. Sometimes, it's just a personality conflict and nothing more. What happened exactly if you're in the sharing mood. Thanks. We met and there was a great instant connection and we started dating, but just the day-to-day things weren't compatible. Mostly centered around I'm extremely laid back and she's a little more high strung (not in a bad way, just a description). We just didn't really connect, every thing I wore was critiqued, she'd always want to go out and do "fun" things and dinner and a movie, or an occasional relaxing night wasn't really for her. So just things like that, as you said "personality conflict". That really sums it up. We discussed issues, I'd say I'd try harder to do more "fun" things, but it just didn't work out. Weird mix of, damn I miss her, but fully realizing it would never work, even if one of us changed for a short time all the issues would pop up in short order.

Not sure if anyone is a Rilo Kiley/Jenny Lewis fan here, but I saw Jenny Lewis in L.A. a few weeks back do her entire first solo album all the way through... it was amazing!

Just going through the worst type of break-up for me, the one where you have strong feelings for each other, but it's just so clear that we're two different people and it won't work.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 15, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) This is awful well, supposedly Brau is someone high on Vince's list, so unfortunately we'll be seeing a lot of him!

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 14, 2016 -> 08:55 PM) this is on me, i just don't like most of the marvel movies. i was going to ask BS13 a question, but i will ask it here. if you are not a fan, is it still a movie worth going to see??? Absolutely. I'm not someone who has to see every comic book movie, but definitely recommend Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy.

lol, looks like the WWE Instagram account put a picture of the Rock working out and wearing what was CLEARLY a Lucha Underground shirt, they tagged it #Tapout (WWE and the bro clothing brand have a business relationship). It's now down, but was actually up for a good 20-30 minutes.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 02:01 PM) What is up with all these players getting transferred to China? Guarin, Gervinho, Jackson Martinez, Ramires, and now maybe Alex Teixiera. These are all good players that the MLS can't even attract. Where's all this money coming from? Jackson's the 5th highest paid player in the world with the wage he's going to get. AFAIK the Chinese league, outside of Guangzhou Evergrande aren't any good. This appears done, 50mm transfer fee!! Liverpool's reported offer was 36mm.

Shows how many really good players they've have/had over there, big focus on Brazilians. Money is coming from corporations, some state owned, not really single billionaires.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) BREAKING NEWS: Rumors are running rampant that a major star returns to #Raw tonight on the road to @WrestleMania! #WWE Guessing the rock is back It's in Miami I believe, so makes sense. At some point Undertaker needs to show-up for a Wrestlemania build.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) I think maybe drop in to Corbin if Sami is up? Probably about time an actual development talent won it. I wonder what their plan is for Samoa Joe then. Bring him up? Have him just be a gatekeeper/veteran type in NXT?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 11:46 AM) So updated WM predictions: HHH vs Reigns Brock vs Bray Rock vs Vince Charlotte vs Sasha vs Becky Kevin Owens vs AJ Styles US Title Ladder match Ambrose vs Sheamus (not sure where Dean goes) Battle Royal New Day vs Harper and Rowan Taker vs Straumon Sure seems like WWE is in no rush to bring up Finn Balor. I'm guessing Anderson and Gallows will go to NXT first and do a storyline down there?

only wyatts left reigns eliminates all. Super Cena is put to shame

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Nice to see that Wyatt family giant dude eliminate kane and big show easily. Kinda passing the torch of giants. Fine, for entertainment purposes aj v Owens is awesome

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) Yes, extremely lame that Reigns got beat up, then the league of nations just let him stay on the outside. I mean come on, they can't be that stupid. Just throw him back in the ring. Now Theirs three cases case 1) he gets taking to the back to come out again in 15 minutes case 2) he refuses med attention and goes back to ring, making league of nations attack pointless case 3) he gets taking to the hospital, never official losing and then that bs storyline lives I'd prefer three but Vince is oblivious

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) Now Reigns lays there till end lame. Yup, makes last thirty minutes boring. Rr will win
