State at Wake Forest New Mexico at Utah Boston College at Clemson West Virginia at Cincinnati Oklahoma at Texas Tech Tiebreak #1: How many total points will be scored in the Ohio State/Michigan game? 57 Tiebreak #2: How many passing yards will Boston College's Matt Ryan have against Clemson? 278

He apologized he was pissed that to him JBL has no place to do that and should mind his own business.

He's more athletically talented..... Generally I give guys the benefit of the doubt but it's well documented that Bradshaw is nothing more than a locker room bully. I remember making jokes that he should wear a shirt "Bradshaw 3:16" and the back says "I just raped your ass"

I thought the commentary was funny, he called himself Kung Fu Jesus and asked Miz if he got a can of soup with his hat... Some people need to lighten up and grow a sense of humor.

Then they wondered why his email says Herb.

For a guy who's suppose to be tough getting punked by John Morrison is probably tough to swallow. Knowing JBL, that is probably worded a lot nicer than how it went down, guy is a bully plain and simple. Good for Morrison for standing up for himself and telling the guy to fuck off. Also..JBL saying anything about bad commentary or anyone getting buried is hilarious. You can tell right away who he doesn't like when he announces, I bet guys like Miz and Chris Masters thought JBL was doing a hell of a job to get them over. In short who the fuck is JBL to tell Morrison shit, Morrison has more talent than JBL ever dreamed of having. This is a guy who'd have been a curtain jerker for life if he wasn't one of Vince's little buds. Guy is treated like he's Steve Austin when everyone I know hated his title run..and think's he's a bum.

Since I don't think it's posted here....... Carlito did jobs around the horn in Puerto Rico this past week, all of his merch is on clearance and he pretty much was fed to Snitsky like a bum... Alvarez is going under the assumption he 'gave notice" he basically asked to be released.

Hey speak for yourself, Traci Brooks boobs are welcome on my TV.

Cosnidering they said employee, it's someone like Harvey Wippleman.

Triple H just basically jammed his face into Big Daddy V's ass.

I'm sorry to inform the WWE but no one cares about Hornswoggle and revealing him as the son basically plummeted the ratings.

I hate Hornswoggle, I wish they'd fire him.

Maybe Mickie's lesbian character is going to return.

Mickie James just made out with Layla...

I think Michelle McCool needs to eat something......fucking a skeleton isn't hot to me.

http://wrestling.insidepulse.com/articles/...--triple-h.html Triple H got some backstage heat following the San Diego house show on 3 November. It was a Raw card with Rey Mysterio as a special addition, since the event was in his hometown. The last time he appeared there was when he had just had surgery and Vince McMahon had Umaga beat him up as part of the build towards a Vince/Mysterio match at SummerSlam that never actually happened. Umaga felt the best way to end the show would be with Mysterio, who is a good friend of his in real life, pinning him. The consensus of the other wrestlers was that it was the right way to book the main event, which saw Mysterio and Triple H team up to face Umaga and Randy Orton, yet Triple H made sure the finish was him pinning Orton.

WWE's quarterly report came out earlier this week. It was a bad period for the company. Chris Benoit died, which caused many aspects of business to tumble, both because of the negative publicity and just because people really didn't feel like watching wrestling for awhile afterwards. The company also didn't put out any major DVDs, which of late has been a major source of revenue. Profits ended up down nearly 10 percent. With all that said, they still made $8.5 million when all was said and done. Sometimes you'll hear people mutter that WWE used to be doing great but now they're losing money. The reality is that they're not even close to doing so, even in a horrible period, and because of the success of WrestleMania this will very likely end up being their biggest financial year in history. Yes, in history, and that includes the 1997-2001 period. So they're not going out of business anytime soon. But it is important to look at things that could affect them down the line. Obviously, the biggest would be a loss of television. The fact that ECW dipped to a 1.1 and Sci-Fi still re-signed them for a year tells you that Raw and particularly Smackdown (which is holding up remarkably well) aren't being cancelled anytime in the near future. Besides Benoit's death, one of the things that hurt WWE over the last several months was the loss of a number of top stars due to injury. Say what you will about the wrestling content of the shows, but the reality is that pro-wrestling is a star driven business, and whether the top stars are any good in the ring doesn't necessarily have anything to do with whether they can draw money. The lifeblood of WWE over the next decade will be whether or not they can create new superstars. This is a concern. There was a time during the wrestling war when comparing the median age of the superstars in WWE and WCW was almost comical. WWE had a ton of guys in their 20s and early 30s, and WCW had a ton of guys in their late 30s and early-to-mid 40s. For awhile, it didn't matter. The WCW guys were stars and thus WCW won many battles. But as time wore on, the stars just kept getting older and older, and when you're in your late 30s and early 40s it catches up faster than your late 20s and early 30s. Today, with the exception of a few guys like Randy Orton, most of the top stars, the Undertaker’s and Batista’s and HBK’s and HHH’s are in their late 30s to mid-40s. Undertaker, Batista and HHH have all torn muscles, the latter two multiple times (in fact, Batista is working on the triceps tear that he was told years back would end his career), and Shawn has a bad back and two largely useless knees. These guys can't keep going forever. Most of the young guys on the undercard, even champions on other brands, have been positioned as guys who are not going to make it to the tippy-top superstar level. Where are the new superstars going to come from? The answer, ideally, is developmental. Some of the biggest stars in company history went through the developmental system in some form, from Rock (Memphis) to Kurt Angle (OVW) to Batista (OVW) to John Cena (OVW) to Brock Lesnar (OVW). What giant superstars has developmental turned out of late? The answer is nobody. The closest we've gotten are MVP on Smackdown and Mr. Kennedy on Raw, who latter of whom nearly got both the Vince McMahon illegitimate son role and a world title earlier this year until circumstances caused otherwise. WWE has two developmental territories, Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling. OVW has been part of the system for a decade, and FCW rose from the ashes of Deep South Wrestling in Atlanta, which crashed and burned earlier this year in spectacular fashion. I cannot blame the folks at OVW for any of these problems since the trainers are the same trainers that helped groom all of the aforementioned superstars. The issue is in the system itself. Two small territories are not nearly enough to provide a regular influx of new talent to all three WWE brands. On top of that, WWE has earmarked only around a half million per year for developmental. Think about that. They will gross nearly $400 million this year and exactly $500,000 goes towards building towards the future. They expect their developmental territories to run most aspects of the business themselves, from getting TV deals and running tapings to booking regular house shows so talent can gain experience. Nobody in charge of a developmental group is getting rich, and in fact Jody Hamilton lost money for over a year trying to get Deep South up and running to WWE's satisfaction. On top of that, WWE, despite claims to the contrary, still hires and brings people up to the main roster based more on physique than talent. Some of the best wrestlers in the history of OVW ended up called up to WWE, saddled with pointless gimmicks, placed in the mid-card, used for a year or two, then fired. I'll always get sad thinking about how great Nick Dinsmore (Eugene), Rob Conway, Doug and Danny Basham were in OVW, how their talents were wasted in WWE, and how nobody outside OVW hardcores every really knew how good they were. Plus, there is always the issue of talent being brought to television too early, not getting over in a couple of weeks, and then being slotted into mid-card hell for the rest of their careers. WWE needs to invest better in their future. They need to earmark more money for developmental, and they need at least five territories throughout the US. They dropped the ball with Booker T, since he could have run a great developmental promotion in Houston. A developmental group on the west coast and another in the Northeast would be ideal. With more talent to choose from, there would be less of a rush to bring people up to television early. WWE also needs to regularly be sending main roster talent to each of the promotions to work with the rookies. If a guy isn't being used in a program, he should be helping out in developmental instead of sitting at home. A green guy isn't getting any better working another green guy, no matter how many times they wrestle each other at house shows. To improve, one must work with someone at a level above themselves. Part of the reason OVW turned out so many great wrestlers in the late 90s and early 00s was because guys like Kurt Angle would regularly show up and have matches with the top OVW stars. It's important to remember that even if developmental churns out 50 Shelton Benjamins who have all the potential in the world but end up being wasted, or even fifty complete failures, one Rock or John Cena can help boost business for several years. And it's simple mathematics -- the more developmental systems and the more guys in the system, the better the chances of finding the next huge superstar. WWE business is down a bit, and thus there will probably be some cost-cutting. But the last place they need to cut costs is developmental, and if anything, they should greatly increase their spending. Developmental is like a savings account; it's something to ensure that there is always something there in case of an emergency, and something to give you peace of mind about the future. That's from Bryan Alvarez.

The Gail Kim twin.

Everyone would know, but no one would care about.... It's Buff Bagwell.

Plus Lance is training guys now, if having people's names associated with him wouldn't get them hired he'd be out of that job too.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/cenaoncnn/ It's not damage control when showing the full interview plainly shows they purposely tried to make Cena look bad.

They pulled Cena's line out of a bigger interview where he was saying the same line he's always said about how even if he says he's not on roids no one will believe him.
