USC Wuz Robbed!

Yeah someone edited my Minnesota/Cincinnati and Philly/SF pick! I have no idea why I chose those two teams to win...

Clearly it's winnable in theory, but I don't see Minnesota doing it with the crap they have going on right now. Green Bay is trailing CLEVELAND and lost to DETROIT, so it won't be them either. Detroit is a possibility, if Harrington got the hook like he should have last year. Chicago? Are you kidding? I love the Bears but no I don't expect them to win. Hell just make the NFC North champion's spot a wildcard spot for the 5th best team in the conference, I guess. None of them deserve it at this point (of the North).

Umm no.

And Minnesota is the class of the division?

Lawler goes without saying.

So basically you're just going to pretend you're right? Alright well then no need for me to debate further.

Meh JR vs Kenta Kobashi would be better.

In your first match ever playing on No Mercy, you decide to be JIM fucking ROSS? Jesus...

Right so they didn't release guys because they couldn't work. They released them because they COULDN'T AFFORD THEM. Thanks for proving my point. They make money there because they haven't exhausted those avenues of revenue. They weren't going there a lot in 1998-2003. Now that the market has been exhausted in North America, and with the business in decline, of course they're going to go where people haven't had wrestling in years and would pay to go. That's highly debatable and pretty laughable.

Oh... that explains a lot. Sorry.

Looks like this was the wrong week to get cute with my picks...

Yeah, right... and you're not the only one to think that. Yet alot of those people wanted him to break McGwire's record. Looks like the steroids aren't really ruining his legacy, at least on a major level. Just admit you don't like Bonds's personality and leave it at that. The roids has nothing to do with it.

So that's why we have Chris Masters cluttering up the rings while letting Jimmy Yang go, because Masters can work and Yang can't, right? No, doing more shows outside the US means the house show business in North America is drying up. Now why is it drying up? Hmmm.... How does me asking if you watched wrestling before 1998 relate with you calling me a kid? Sounds like you're trying to fish an insult out of nothing...

And you know with Vince, given a choice, he'd take the younger girl over the aging one.

That's why a lot of people wanted him to break McGwire's record... and if you're going to try to tell me Bonds wasn't on the roids at that time, you're kidding yourself.

He only intends to break Ruth's number. Also he will still go down in the books as one of the most prolific hitters in history, so I doubt him suffering a career ending injury with 1 HR to go would really ruin his legacy, if that's the outcome you're hoping/going for...

and younger...

If they're cutting guys, in no way are they doing "good" business. If they were, they'd have little to no need of clearing those financial obligations. They've also started doing more international tours lately, another sign of a down time. Seriously, did you just start watching wrestling post 1998 or something?

Clemson is a real Top 25 team? Wow...

They probably weren't keyed in to the finishes which were likely concocted seconds before the participants went out to do the match.

Am I just imagining this poster, I miss Test? I notice no one talks to him or anything. Its like he's just a figment of my imagination chirping about not quitting a contest that for some reason I don't recall him being part of...

They're doing it half-right with making Mania the clear cut #1 show. They should have made it the year end culmination of the storylines instead of just a dream match card stuck in the middle of the year like it has lately. They've really hurt the show by not really blowing off everything at Mania every year. While I can see them leaving a few threads hanging for a rainy day booking, they do it too often that it makes Mania just another PPV but with the bells and whistles that the other PPVs don't get.

Yeah, so that shows me WWE is willing to do a DQ finish for a PPV main event. Granted I don't really like DQs, but if they are going to do a rematch with the two without the belt switching hands, this is the only way I see WWE doing it.

What's this Smackdown you're speaking of? I don't know what that is and I know WWE doesn't either.

While the games may be "good", I'm not real happy that they are showing 49ers/Eagles and Patriots/Panthers here...
