QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:56 AM) Every game is a must win now though and anything can happen. A loss and we are pretty much doomed. If they lose tonight it's over for the US.

Jeff Capel to GT? That's pretty meh if so

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 08:05 AM) Eva Marie's crowd reaction was something needed to be seen Meltzer said wwe indeed expected her to get a huge pop.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 09:22 AM) So what do people think are the realistic odds that Bernie Sanders is the Democratic nominee? He's really not that far off from Hillary and tends to poll better nationally when directly compared to Republican nominees. Just curious what people think who follow the party closer than I do. Probably about the same as Hillary getting arrested. Not sure what odds those are. QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) Are you asking if the democratic party would try to sabotage his nomination if he passed Hilary in delegates? They absolutely would. That's why super delegates exist.

Some big news story is about to break or something. Doesn't sound good. Here's some more context, and I'll use that loosely. "A major wrestling related story that has hidden beneath the surface is starting to poke its head out of the water,and is going to break soon" -Joe Lanza of Pro Wrestling Voices. "Building a shelter for when this story breaks." -JJ Williams of the Wrestling Observer More from Lanza: "Seems the Tweet I made from my personal account has caused quite the stir. I will address it here, and then never address it again. I am not a journalist and have never claimed to be. I do a podcast, write reviews, and a few times per year when the situation is right, our site or our podcast will break the occasional news story (the infamous Dixie email, Steen signing with WWE, Ibushi to EVOLVE/Kaiju, Candice/GFW no show drama, PWS stuff, the end of DGUSA, etc). We are not and have never claimed to be a news site. Tons of hard news & rumors finds our DM box that we choose to sit on, and there are people reading this right now who know full well that we (myself & Rich) sit on TONS of "scoops", especially when specifically asked not to speak about it. If we wanted to be a news site or hunt for cheap clicks, we could very easily do so. The story I Tweeted about has been cooking for months, and somehow stayed quiet. It is now making the rounds, and being hinted about publicly. I am not going to break it. I have no interest in breaking it for a variety of reasons. It would drive CLICKS for sure, but it isn't my place to report it and it isn't what we do here. My belief is that it will come out soon because the person has enemies (to be fair, who doesn't?) who will find a some pleasure in outing it. That won't be me. People are running wild with it on places like Wreddit. Your mileage on the word "major" may vary. I feel like it's a major story because it involves someone who works full time in the wrestling business and reputation(s?) will be ruined. Some may not consider it a "major" story. There are people who will read this who are aware of the situation. This is not me asking them to back me up or to out themselves. In fact, I prefer that they don't confirm or break it here, because I want no connection to this for a number of reasons. I may have underestimated the power of Twitter or my own reputation as a news source in peoples eyes when I made the Tweet. I made it from my personal account, and figured my friends would see it and didn't think it would cause much of a stir. That was stupid, but at this point it's whatever, because the toothpaste cant be put back in the tube. I won't ever speak about it again. If/when (more like when) it comes out, I'm not going to claim to have broken it, or confirm it as being what I was talking about or anything like that. I made the Tweet, I have to own that, but I want nothing to do with actually breaking the news or claiming I instigated it breaking. If I was interested in that, I'd simply write the story and publish it here. So that's that. Sorry for working everybody up. And I said this on Twitter, but I'll say it here too. If you followed me based on that tweet, you are welcomed to stick around, but I am never tweeting a follow up and I almost never tweet about wrestling. That account is extremely boring unless you like college basketball and Reds baseball. Might as well unfollow. I wasn't looking for cheap Twitter follows."

Syracuse even being in the tournament was a joke. Now they're in the final 4.

Okay seeing Amanda Carpenters old tweets I've gone about 50/50 to 95% sure this story is true. She basically stopped just short of explicitly outting herself over and over and over again before this was a story. Oh and trying to delete those doesn't look good either.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 26, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) Not the best foul call on Graham at the end I guess it's a trip but who ever makes that call?

Any tv or stream?

USA in some pretty serious trouble to qualify for the next round now.

Yeah the refs were prettt terrible. Wisconsin fans are irate.

Congrats fathom. Please hire John Groce.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Have to hope it's not some type of depression caused by CTE. More: WWE Diva Brie Bella will be retiring sooner than she originally planned … Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned the wrestler is hanging up her boots following the RAW after WrestleMania. Sources with direct knowledge tell us there’s no bad blood between WWE and Daniel Bryan — the recent appearances he pulled out of are due to a health issue. It’s unclear what the issue is at this point, but we’re told it’s the reason Brie wasn’t at RAW this week.

Masterful reply after Cruz accused him of planting this.

Twitter blowing up this AM about Cruz having 5 affairs, ha. Just when you think this primary season can't get more interesting. Oh and one of the ladies is Trumps national spokeswoman.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 25, 2016 -> 06:52 AM) If Kasich gets the nomination, it's because at least one of Trump/Cruz has asked their delegates to support Kasich. No, there won't be a lot of Republicans staying home because Republicans really, really, really, really hate Hillary Clinton. The difference is that Kasich can get the independent voters and even some of the Sanders supporters that Trump and Cruz have no chance at getting. Republicans are coming out to vote in astonishingly record numbers this primary season. They aren't doing that because of Hillary or Kasich.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) This completely fake "support" for Groce from Whitman is clearly a result of Groce's struggles recruiting. No one wants to play for a lame duck coach. There's a really good chance Groce is still a lame duck. We just spent well over 10 million dollars canning Thomas/Beckman/Cubit and hiring Lovie and very expensive satff. It's the only reason Groce is still there. I mean that amount matches the revenue sports spending from like the last 3 years combined.

Bernie Sanders is suing the Democratic party.

I cannot stress enough how absolutely irrelevant national polls are right now. It's like 1000x times more true this year because pollsters are having big problems predicting the makeup of the voters.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 08:57 AM) His velocity was up across the board from 2014 to 2015. And he was a significantly better pitcher in 2015 than 2014.

Tipping bis pitches doesn't hide the fact that he has sucked due to his loss of velocity.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 09:12 AM) The Gawker response I can't believe a lawyer let them post this. Then again they probably didn't even ask.

I liked the espn announcers saying how awful Hoiberg is without explicitly saying it.

Aztec Warfare on Lucha Underground tonight. Basically better version of the Royal Rumble. Title is on the line.
