QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 07:07 PM) Everyone wanted Bryan in the match, and now he's there. You're a crybaby. I love how you speak for everyone WTF. You're delusional if you believe that.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 01:17 PM) Seriously, do you listen to yourself? In this situation, the guy's giving everyone what they want. And you still cry. Since when does Reigns winning Mania represent what everyone wants? It's cannon fodder and nothing more whoopee doo Bryan is in the match.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 09:47 AM) Bryan winning the title at Mania just to have Rollins cash in and stand tall to end the show and set up a multiple month feud between the two would be beautiful. Reigns will still win Bryan just window dressing. Fans will not like Reigns winning regardless. VKM being VKM.

Glad Sox did not pay that much for a 33 year old SP.

.303 40 HR 120 RBI

This shows what MLB people think of DV.........not much.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 11:34 PM) I don't think we're in on shields , but I wouldn't count us out Shields is out not going to happen.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 05:59 AM) They wouldn't induct Roberts until he was sober for a certain amount of time. Probably same goes for Chyna. Chyna will never get in ever.

Bryan vs Reigns and the fans boo worse than Philly.

No mention of Rodon. whole article is based on Cubs potential. Bias 101 Cub boy article.

I would fire me a OC tonight in Arizona....................NE will be fined 10K for ballgate and nothing else.............I dislike both teams.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 1, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) Well the Patriots apparently either win super bowls on kicks by Viniatieri or lose them on insane catches. You were saying.

I hate stupid team owner camera shots in all sports.

Gronk is a beast to cover.

I can see a deal come July with Jeff. I am all for it we need a stud right handed starter. Moving Danks would be nice this summer also.

http://411mania.com/wrestling/roman-reigns...t-fan-backlash/ Reigns better go heel because as a face he is toast.

25 is enough 24th and 25th guy really not MLB quality most of the time.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, top WWE executives don’t see Daniel Bryan as a top guy who can be the face of the company no matter how much he gets over. The site reports that the company was of the feeling that they will not give into fans as they did last year and won’t add Bryan to the main event of WrestleMania again. As previously reported, the current working plan is to have Ziggler and Bryan face off at the show. The idea is to have them open the PPV VKM knows best

Very seldom use the phone for Soxtalk.

Lisa Marie Varon will be leaving her Chicago restaurant The Squared Circle. She is moving to the West Coast and wrote on Twitter that her husband and a friend will keep running the restaurant while she’s gone. She hasn’t been seen at the building in months by regulars after she used to appear often. She would hang out with fans when in town. At one point, patrons were told she went on vacation in California and “never came back”. Credit: The Wrestling Observer via Wrestlezone She was very nice to fans the times I was there.

I think 3 guys in top 100 is pretty accurate.

The booking of the Royal Rumble PPV shows that Vince McMahon is completely out of touch with what the fans want. Dino Zee: FACT – This is an easy Fact. No, he’s not out of touch because Daniel Bryan lost. He’s not out of touch because Roman Reigns won. He’s out of touch because Daniel Bryan (the huge crowd favorite) was out of there in like 15-20 minutes, and unceremoniously tossed. He’s out of touch because the last like 10 guys in the ring were “Dean Ambrose and a s***load of hosses.” He’s out of touch because he thinks top level, badass faces-in-progress should act like middle school kids who spit weak game at older chicks and say things like “suffering succotash.” He’s out of touch because Kane and Big Show, in the year 2015, are the two big enforcer heels on the roster. He’s out of touch because he doesn’t understand why any of the above might not set the world on fire for his fanbase. I love Vince McMahon. He’s given me a lifetime of wrestling action that I’ve loved for the most part. But he’s really, really starting to show his age, and just how out of touch he is with us. But then again, anyone who remembers Paul Burchill knows that this isn’t really news. Mike Hammerlock: FICTION – Don’t get me wrong, Vince McMahon is completely out of touch with what fans want, but we knew that. That is not news and the Rumble shouldn’t be treated like it was some revelatory moment that proves Vince is shooting creative blanks. Pick any point during the 2010s and you can see the madness of King Vincent at work. What the Royal Rumble PPV shows is that Vince McMahon has become completely petulant. He doesn’t give a damn about the feedback he gets from his audiences or via social media (where WWE Facebook fans panned Reigns’ Rumble win by a 3-to-1 margin). We’re all in the Kiss My Ass Club. The notion that the WWE offers an interactive experience where the fans are not just part of the show, but play an essential role in determining where the story goes is what’s just about dead in the wake of the Rumble. Go back in time 10, 15, 20 years and Vince at least would have given himself the option of calling an audible if a shaky proposition like Reigns got buried by the audience. Not now. No more listening and adjusting. Per 411 wrestling

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) So I have to be a talent to date Lana? Yes you do!

WWE has reportedly started a new policy regarding dating among in-ring talents, office workers, and production workers. Per the rule, on-air talents are not allowed to date WWE office workers or production workers. The new policy was made because WWE reportedly does not want the talent interacting with other company personnel beyond a professional standpoint. However, rule apparently does not apply to on-air talents dating each other. Per 411 mania
