USC Wuz Robbed!

Yeah well the point is WWE isn't adverse to calling youngsters up. The reason why Colt Cabana is in OVW is to learn the "WWE" style and get acclimated to their way of presentation. If Shelley was sent there, it's not because he's 22, it would be because of the reason I just listed.

And now it's being discussed here, so no biggie. If I were authoritative, I would've tossed Secret Agent and Matt Young for flaming. Or better yet, ban football talk altogether. God is that tempting. Too bad football is a lot more popular.

Are you fucking kidding me? Ric Flair is a shell of his former self (and no, it's not still better than the younger talents). Not to mention he makes me cringe every time he goes for a back body drop. Ric Flair should have been made a manager and assigned to a hotshot youngster with a superstar look. This way he can wrestle once in a long while, and utilize his REAL skills in a different avenue of the business (teaching the young guys how to work and talk).

Try accelerated clock?

I'm with VX and Matt Young here. This shouldn't be a thread.

But in following a player, you might gain respect for the team. You sit and watch for a Jerry Porter, and walk away being a new Raiders fan. And are you telling me you have no favorite players that are not playing for the Bears? It's the same idea. Suppose you like Jason Taylor. Wouldn't you watch Miami Dolphins games to see what Taylor is doing? How is it different?

Except Ken Doane/Kenny/Kenny Dykstra was called up at age 20.

Nothing wrong with it. But I think to people, fantasy gives them a reason to watch teams they wouldn't otherwise. Why else should a guy in Chicago care what an Oakland Raider does in a game? Or a Miami guy care what a Seattle Seahawk does? This gives them the outlet to actually follow the teams and get more interested in the teams they would otherwise not have.

Unless of course instead of 20 minutes for Angle, 20 minutes for Christian, 20 minutes for Sting, etc, their time is doubled and the rest gets the same amount of time...

With WWE doing a massive cleaning, I don't understand why Joe and Shelley didn't look to jump. Maybe they tried and got zero interest from them...

No career mode? Pass.

You're kidding yourself if you think he's going to be pitching in 8 years, let alone winning 15 games then.

They won't drop 79 but they will win by a comfortable margin.

I'm just busting your chops. I don't really care either way.

Yes... posting a picture of a shirt for two guys not even being discussed here, when the "merch" discussion is not even the main storyline of the thread... that's flowing with the thread.

I wonder where Michigan is ranked out of 119. I'd guess in the 26-35 range.

Would explain why Czech, a Bears fan, wants to see it.

Punk would have been a top guy in ECW as well. Well I assumed he meant Morrison. But yeah Punk would have been a top guy in ECW.

Yeah The Great Khali would never main event against Hogan...

Makes sense. It has been in the 90s-100s all week. Yeah white would be the best call.

No. The Chargers are going to wear their new dark blue jerseys most likely.

For the Cleveland Browns fans who were holding out hope the coaches change their minds and start Quinn right away, they announced that Charlie Frye will indeed start the season opener.

The way I see it, Cryme Tyme was in the wrong here for their part, but Cade and Murdoch should have been punished too for doing the rib. The fact that Cade and Murdoch didn't like Cryme Tyme makes it look like it wasn't meant to be a good natured rib but a malicious one intended to piss Cryme Tyme off. I wouldn't be surprised if because of this, London and Kendrick wins the titles at Unforgiven and Cade & Murdoch are semi-depushed.

Boy, I hope so. In reality, I'm not feeling too good about the game as a Bears fan.

Don't be modest, Teke. LSU will blow VT out of Death Valley.
