QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) Judging by DB's tweet today I think there's hope he gets cleared and soon. Hopefully he gets his wish and faces Nakamura at mania. (There was an interview where he said he'd like to.)

Latest my brother, who's a bigger wrestling nerd than me, is hearing is WWE is in talks with Adam Cole. He's also hearing they wanna "Fast track" Joe and have him feud with Roman soon. I could see Joe be brought up as a "Hired gun" for Vince to take out Reigns. Not sure if it was TNA or even ROH, but Joe has played the hired gun role before. Cole would be yet another good get if true. He was just on the Sam Roberts podcast, and my brother tells me all of Roberts previous guests have been WWE employees so he thinks that's a sign.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 01:15 AM) The Bears' twitter account I see it now. Good stuff. Even without using any averages and things like that, it's still pretty impressive to be in the top 25 in sacks despite only playing 379 snaps.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 11:23 PM) They still have an insanely deep roster. Time to make some new stars this mania. Main roster isn't all that deep. Gotta start bringing talent up, but then NXT takes a hit.

Andddd Cena is out again. Might miss Mania. No Cena, no Rollins, no Orton?, no Bryan?, no Cesare?, and people wonder why the product is bad right now. Need to get this Bullet Club thing rolling stat. Push AJ right away as well.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 09:07 PM) Houston just got credit for a sack from Sunday, giving him a season total of 8. That may bolster that stat. Where'd you see this at? That would give him a sack every 47.4 snaps. Obviously things probably wouldn't play out this way, but if he played the same number of snaps as Watt at that pace, he would have had 20 sacks.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) If they were smart, they would turn Cena into the leader in an invasion angle, similar to Hogan. Have him grow out a beard and dye it black and all. Bring back Thug Life and basic thuganomics. Hell no, not for the Bullet/Balor club. That needs to be Balors.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) Anyone else here been to a Freelance Wrestling show? Been to a few, they use to be at the Abbey, but with the fire there they moved to the Bottom Lounge. Lots of fun and extremely affordable. Last months had Colt Cabanna, Grado, Joey Ryan, Dick Justice and was a blast. I was supposed to go but plans fell through. They filmed some stuff for wrestling road diaries 3 at the last show. I've been going to AAW shows which are always really good.

Here's a fun fact.... JJ Watt had a sack every 54.17 play. Lamarr Houston had one every 54.14.

Gase has a 2nd interview with the Eagles tomorrow. He's also interviewing with the Giants, Browns, and Dolphins. Eagles make a lot of sense to me.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 05:38 PM) If you have a 3 war player, you do not need to upgrade them. If you have three 1.5 WAR players...you have 3 players you'd be looking to upgrade to stars. You would have the worlds most deep 74 win team, though. This. Saying you'd rather have 3 1 WAR players vs 1 3 WAR player is just, well, dumb.

Lamarr Houston had 1 less tackle and 1 more sack than Mcphee. Mcphee played 188 more snaps.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 11:59 PM) Considering he quietly asked for a trade earlier in the year and didn't have much to say with the media on his way out, I would as well. I commend him and Houston on transitioning in a 3-4 defense but they are not true 3-4 guys other than rushing the QB. I disagree, at least on Houston anyway. Houston lined up as a linebacker on 80% of his snaps in Oakland, and it's what got him paid. I think people forget that. I also seem to remember him grading out as one of the best against the run in Oakland as well.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) I honestly wouldn't trade Houston or Young, both of them were a lot better and more noticeable as the season went on. Houston already got a good chunk of his money and his contract isn't terrible, and Young is on a very team friendly contract. The Bears already have a crazy amount under the cap as it is, I don't really think it is necessary Yeah, they were sneaky good. The 2 of them combined for 13.5 sacks in 857 snaps. The 13.5 sacks would have been good for 4th in the league, and for comparison, Watt and Mack, 1 and 2 in the league in sacks both had over 900 snaps.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 07:27 PM) From what i've heard, Romero would be more in a trainer role for NXT. That would be somewhat disappointing. He's not great or anything but Forever Hooligans/Roppani Vice are really fun tag teams. Also, I wouldn't be so sure Balor Club(Wish they would keep Bullet Club but I doubt it) gets buried on the main roster. They're huge, and I think WWE is high on Balor.

Not sure where he heard, but my bro is saying they want AJ on his own. Giving Balor the Club.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) Wwe negotiating with Bad Luck Fale, Rocky Romero, and Tama Tonga as well Feed me more! If they're getting Romero they better get Koslov or Barretta. Romero is awesome but I love him as a tag wrestler with one of those 2. Other 2 are Bullet Club members. They're decent. Keep it going Trips.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 10:10 AM) F4wonline.com is indicating Styles is done with ROH and NJPW, Gallows and Anderson will finish their ROH dates, and Nakamura will finish with NJPW (not like Del Rio with AAA, he'll actually drop his belt) and his ROH dates as well. Will be interesting to see if they weave them in still, especially Gallows and Anderson, then just let them do their ROH dates. Looks about right. They killed off AJ in the Bullet Club this morning, but Doc and Anderson were still in it for now. https://youtu.be/9daEXb6F33E Omega is about to be top dog over there. He's getting a title match against Nakamura, and is the new leader of BC. Hopefully like Balor and Styles before him, he makes his way over after a run of being "The guy."

Since Anderson is probably the biggest mystery to most of you, here's some highlights of a match with him and Nakamura. https://youtu.be/uWNBnzHrqQs NERDY FANTASY ALERT..One thing I would love to see is them NOT put them in the Balor Club. Make the Balor Club its own thing with Balor in charge, and THEN bring in the BULLET CLUB with Styles in charge. Set up a stable war between the 2. A PPV with Styles vs Balor and Nakamura vs Itami would be the best s*** ever.

Very excite! And a little bummed at the same time. No Young Bucks or Kenny Omega kinda sucks. Nevertheless getting Nakamura and Styles is HUGE. If you haven't seen Nakamura work I suggest you Youtube him, he's awesome. Anderson is pretty damn good on the mic and he's the mouth piece of the Bullet Club. He's a solid wrestler as well. I know some here have talked down on Gallows, but he's got solid chemistry with Anderson and his run with Straight Edge Society want all that bad. Will be interesting to see if they have Nakamura as part of the Balor Club. I think he can get over on his own, English or not. One guy I'm not sure can get over on his own who could possibly play a part is Itami. Also, there's another New Japan PPV tonight, I assume Nakamura drops the title.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 3, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Bears officially have a top 10 pick. EDIT: forgot about tie breakers. They're at 12 or 13 now depending on certain games still playing. Believe they're at 11. Could move to 10 if the Bucs beat Carolina somehow. Think that's the only game left with any implications.

The free agent/draft class doesn't look all that good either. They can keep him no matter what if they want to, he really has no say. Wonder if they can workout a deal with the Jets for a Alshon/Decker swap. Not sure why'd they want to, but it'd be perfect for Alshon and the Bears. Decker knows Gase/Fox, Alshon reunites with B, and the Bears aren't stuck with a rookie/meh free agent WR across from White.

A source close to Jeffery came away from a recent conversation with him convinced he felt unhappy in Chicago and, at times, isolated because of a lack of close friends since Brandon Marshall's departure. Jeffery mentioned how much he looked forward to free-agency, according to the source. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/colum...102-column.html Isn't David Haugh, a guy we mock on here for making things up? Bernstien is another guy who said Alshon was unhappy here.

This game has been awesome. What a tale of 2 half's for both teams. Loving this TCU QB. As a senior, I wonder if this one game, and really just this one half, gets him an NFL look.

I wonder how much of Jay turning it around has to do with Dowel Logains. He's a guy who Jay publicly lobbied for in the past. He should probably stick around as OC if Gase does leave.
