Bullet Club!!! (Kinda) Gallows looks in fairly decent shape.

This will be something to look into attending. Thank You for this. Seeing as it's a Monday, the tickets I was selling in the ticket exchange section for today's game are still gonna be available if you're interested in 2 under face value. =)

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 06:02 PM) I'm going to throw it out here now. Bears will draft Paxton Lynch @ 11 and will let him develop. Coincidence or not, Big Ben was the 3rd QB taken in the draft and was selected 11th overall by the Steelers. Outside of QB, RB, and potentially CB, I don't really see a huge talent gap between who we'd get at 11 and who we'd get in the 2nd. Most of the dlinemen have potential issues and there isn't a standout pass rusher available either. I think Elliot, as much as I don't value taking backs early, would be a good pick and think highly of Hargraves, who might actually be there. That said, I think we go QB and Lynch is the perfect guy to groom for two years. Thing is, while I agree that talent from the 1st to the 2nd isn't that large, by taking a QB first round you're not just pushing back needs from round 1 to round 2, you're also pushing everything else back a round as well. I'm all aboard drafting a QB in the first 4 rounds, but would prefer it to be in said 4th round.

I've got 2 paper tickets for Sundays game. 33 dollar face value that I'll let go of for 25 a piece if you meet me in Northwest Indiana. 30 if I have to meet somewhere in Chicago(not preferred as money is an issue). Something came up and we are no longer able to make it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:45 AM) Decker is a tackle through and through. Drafting a RB that high is pretty dumb IMO, even as good as he is. The Bears NEED secondary and LB help, badly. Is he a left tackle though? I may be alone, but I think they're fine at OLB. 5T, S, LT, CB, and TE are the needs in my book.

Let it play out. I'm sure Shane will get some mic time next week. In the future though I prefer the whole GM/Authority thing to stay off camera for the most part. Like Regal in NXT...........I will miss Steph though(unless Trips/Steph does SD). Just seeing AJ, Owens, Cesare, and in a way Zayn in the title picture along with some fun call ups like Crews and Enso/Cass made it a solid Raw for me.

Cesaro!

QUOTE (TRU @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 09:47 PM) Its been the same old s*** for most of the night up until Enzo and Cass.. Are you even watching this? Crews debuted as well. I'm just confused as to what you expect to see different.

QUOTE (TRU @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) How about, anything? Wouldn't that have been the point of Shane taking over? Examples? Bringing in new talent, putting guys like AJ, Zayn, and Owens in the world title picture is about all that can be expected. You want a 6 sided ring or something?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) How exactly is Shane "running" Raw any differently? So far, no HHH, Stephanie, Ambrose, Lesnar, Undertaker, Rollins or Cesaro. What exactly are you expecting to be done differently?

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 06:42 AM) Probably not. Thought all matches had a purpose and were good outside main event. I really thought they'd put over the fact that Dean won't quit more. Like kick out of one F5 at least. I know there haven't been that many but that could be the best women's match in Mania history. Trish vs Mickie at 22 was good. I'd have to think back. Not even close. Perhaps it's because I had little sleep the night before, and 6+ hours is a lot of wrestling, but sans the ladder match and the divas match I was pretty frigging bored throughout.. Even Styles/Jericho was bland to me. It may not have been the worst, but I don't remember one being as bland. I digress though. I'm still gonna watch.

I feel like a Cubs fan when they have a good minor league system when watching WWE. I'm still gonna watch every game/show, and there are still guys like Sammy Sosa who make some parts wildly entertaining, but in the end its just wait till next year when some of these young prospects get called up to make the team as a whole really good. I'm saying all that as an actual Reigns backer. I have no problem with Reigns. The future still looks bright, and eventually these prospects will get called up to make WWE great again. Wait till next year.

Worst. Mania. Ever. That is all.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) You would be willing to flip the 11th for the 20th, throw in a 3rd or fourth, and lose Cutler and Jeffery for a one year rental? And let's not forget, Wilkerson broke his leg on January 3rd This is all contingent on them working out an extension of course. Like SoCal said on Twitter, trade discussions start with his agent to try and get a deal done before any trade. If he doesn't want to extend, you obviously don't give up all that much. The "and" in "letting go of Cutler and/or Jeffery" was a bit much I do admit. Looking at their cap situation next year, they really wouldn't even have to lose either. All reports I've read said he will be ready for training camp. A trade down and a 4th should get it done, but I wouldn't hesitate to give up a 3rd rounder for a guy who is probably the 2nd best 5 tech in football. That said, I will admit to having no idea how to put value on NFL trades.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 04:45 PM) Will Osprey seems like he has the top 5 matches of the year between his series with Marty Scrull and now the last two days of matches he's had. People talk of him like a god. Hope he goes to nxt. Dude is only 22 too. With WWE seemingly pairing up with Evolve and RevPro, 2 companies Ospreay is prominent, I'd be shocked if he doesnt at least get put in the cruiserweight tourney.......It'll be interesting to see if all 32 guys from the tourney sign long term contracts.

What did you think of Sabre Jr.?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 1, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) Would you do this: Bears trade 11th pick to the Jets for Wilkerson and the 19th pick. I really think the Bears should look to try and trade down anyway, so if they can trade down AND add Mo, that would be incredible. I don't care if it means they have to lose Cutler and/or Jeffery next year to make it work cap wise (shouldn't have to anyway). I would even throw in one of the Bears 4th rounders or potentially a 3rd to make that happen.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Once again not as invested in the characters but Ospray-Ricochet might be the best match I've ever seen, not an exaggeration either. Not surprised at all.

For those of you that don't know who Ibushi is, here's a great tribute video.

Just read Ricochet can opt out of his contract with LU after season 3 so there's that.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 10:58 AM) Going to the Evolve show in an hr. It's stacked so it'll be super fun but you're not as invested in the characters obviously so it's different. Besides that just mania and raw, met some people and talked our way into some crazy tailgate for tomorrow too. Yeah that Evolve show looks fantastic. Ricochet vs Ospreay is going to be insane. Super jealous of your whole weekend. As for last night? Incredible stuff. Zayn/Nakamura might be moty. Real surprised to see Balor retain. If BC really is debuting tomorrow or Monday it'll be interesting to see how they play it. We should be getting a Balor/Nakamura match at the next takeover which should be amazing. Ibushi being there gave me a bit of a chubby. If he's not signed I would be shocked. I'm guessing he'll be in the cruiserweight tourney, and would be the favorite to win it.......I RARELY watch TNA and honestly don't think I've ever even seen Roode wrestle, but was told he's the best thing in TNA from a total package standpoint. I imagine he's signed as well. Speaking of the cruiserweight tourney. Trips announced Rich Swan, Gargano, Tomaso, Sabre Jr., Akira Tozawa, some Chinese guy I've never heard of, and Noam Dar who was on TNA's British Boot Camp. Didn't watch it, but I watched a couple matches on Youtube against Aries and Styles and Dar looks pretty good..........Tozawa is a fun little wrestler as well. Hoping for Ibushi, Ospreay, and Ricochet to get announced.......Has Ricochet aka Prince Puma been doing anything in Lucha Underground? No clue why I don't watch that, but once it hits Netflix ill probably binge watch it then start watching.

Perhaps because I'm over here in NWI, living in a non wealthy household, and don't venture to Chicago for pizza all that often, but I happen to loves me some Papa Johns.

I'm hoping they are doing Joe vs Balor as opposed to Zayn vs Balor because the plan is to have Joe win and both Zayn and Balor come up full time. ....Then go into a Joe vs Nakamura feud which would be sick.

Adam Caplan saying that he expects Larsen to start at one of the guard spots. That really doesn't make any sense to me especially when, at least IMO, Ramirez is the better player between he and Larsen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) If I were the Bulls front office I would play on the fact that the Lakers are getting kind of desperate to get some names on the floor and that Derrick likes being in LA. Maybe steal Russell from them since Scott seems dead set on gluing him to the bench Still wanting to do this? Is Rose now too much considering what went down? Russell is still just 19 right? I would chalk it up to boys will be boys and hope he learns from it.
