Crowd absolutely dead, especially during Sami match Hot at the beginning, they got strange as the show went on including CM Punk chants. I'm a big fan of Sami and Cody but that match was super slow in the crowd's defense. Ambrose and HHH was super fun with the obvious ending.

Cinci-UConn might be the craziest game of all time.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 06:19 PM) The Ivy League finally joining the dark side, will have a conference tournament beginning next season. Only going to be 4 teams though.

Bryce is so right and the league of old men can just go away please.

Save the cheerleader, save the world.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 01:20 PM) Pretty much. If Sami Zayn is used right, he'll draw. Could even take DBs place. Pssh, Sami is too small, Owens is too fat, Bayley isn't a tall blonde, no chance they draw.

I don't think Steph half court 3 pointers should count if they're bank ins going forward. He's too good for that.

Can't wait for the doofus son in law to be fully in charge.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) As much fun as the conference tourneys can be, I really think they should start giving the auto bid to the regular season champion. You dominate the league for 3 months, then it's all for nothing. Plus, that will increase the odds of a 16 seed finally beating a 1. The more upsets that happen in these tourneys, it weakens all of the teams in the main bracket. They're part of the fun of March though. We could just eliminate automatic conference bids all together and just let a committee decide the top 64 teams if we want to go that route or just get rid of the one and done tournament and make it a series of games.

86 sounds about right to me. I'm not sure if that gets us into the playoffs but I think it at least gives us a shot.

So Y2AJ are gone and LoN is getting their title shot at Roadblock now. I wonder where this leaves New Day for mania now? Maybe it'll be Gallows and Anderson or Enzo and Cass. I'm intrigued.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) any background on this Sami guy? Why is he so well known / good? He was a super well known Indy wrestler before he came to wwe. Him and Owens have a big history and Sami is probably the closest comparison you can have to Daniel Bryan.

Super happy.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 01:16 PM) So was Holm. And Holm dominated Rhonda. It wasn't a close fight. Holm also did a lot better against Tate than Rousey did against Holm. Flat out, if Holm isn't getting a rematch(again, she was winning that fight big), then it should be Holm vs Rousey to see who the #1 contender was. And Ronda didn't get a rematch right away. I bet Holly is the next challenger after Meisha-Ronda. I'm not even arguing that id rather see something else besides Tate-Rousey cause I would but she absolutely deserves the next title shot.

She was also an undefeated champion before she lost, she absolutely deserves a title shot.

Ya why wouldn't Ronda get the next title shot? She should absolutely be next in line.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) You guys realize, the target audience is the kids, whose parents were the primary demographic of the original. I don't think, outside of some early nostaligia, the goal was for people in their early to late 30's to be watching the show, rather their kids to be watching the show and the parents at least having that ability to "relate" to it, so to speak. I could be wrong and my kids aren't old enough. And I thought the show was a classic and watched it plenty growing up. I don't think so. Almost everything they do is trying to be a throw back to something in the original. It's targeted at us.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) It's all fun and games until your guy gets hurt. Kane and Toews are paid to do one thing, that is win the Stanley Cup. Which they do a lot.

I still think Hoiberg(for now) is the least of this team's issues. Front office needs to go and the roster needs a complete overhaul and then go from there.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 09:11 AM) Thanks, beautiful subforum. No thanks to you!

Hoping SIU doesn't lose by 50 on Friday. And hoping the Shockers don't beat everyone by double digits. Here's the bracket:

I definitely agree with the overall theme of the original post but I think Lawrie will be fine at 2b.

I'm sure Owens will somehow make the Big Show feud interesting if that's where they're going but that dude deserves so much better. Could have gotten an epic feud with AJ or Sami but we might be getting the f***in Big Show instead. Frustrating. Used to love Dolph but his character is just absolute garbage now a days. And I just don't care about the HoF either way.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Are we gonna see a Kevin Owens vs Big show match at mania? Ew Looks like it. That'll piss me off more than anything else they've done for Mania. EDIT: Maybe they'll call an audible when they roll through all the big cities the next few weeks. They better.
