Jimenez is pretty bad and is going to want Edwin Jackson money, and isn't worth it. Signing Maholm wouldn't be the worst idea in the world.
Now that Tanaka is a Yankee, it's a matter of time before he either blows out his arm because of the NPB workload or gets suspended for PED use, since one overpriced Yankee is contractually obligated to be on the stuff.

Friday Night Lights in the playoffs? Monday Night Football playoff games? Roger's gone mad!

Roger Goodell, job destroyer:

This idea seems stupid.

Oh, CC has signed up with Jay Z's Roc Nation.

At this point, fuck the BWAA and get the calls right.

Listened to Parv's rant about that match last night. I'm wondering what could possibly make him madder than that match did.
-
I would think a pildedriver would hurt the top of your head, but with everything else like your neck taking the brunt of the impact, I don't think your head is what you would be worried about in that situation.
In some ways, it might be like taking a shoot DDT.

The sweet nectar of DVDVR is back.

Mr Niebla in his new gimmick with the Peste Negra is unbelievably fun.
-
I only recognize the name from old PWI 500s where he'd always seem to hang around the #450-Mr Irrelevant range.

Any kind of investigative crime drama where Samoan badasses like Haku kick ass and get to the bottom of things.
"Nobody Potatoes Me" is a show hosted by or starring Stan Hansen where he lariats the fuck out of bullies and shows them what it's like to really be potatoed.

I've been making the same joke on Twitter, with the only exception is she'll be Clark's lady friend.

Man I really want to be able to watch the 1994 Fall Brawl Wargames match as I can't find it online in the usual places, and watching the buildup to it of late is phenomenal.

Everyone talking about indie wrestling is ignoring the possibility, no matter how incredibly slim, that some indie is able to get shown on the app. WWE could even do a show showing highlights of certain promotions during each month. It would help the business and give them more programming.
In the yammering thread and to the Beyond Wrestling Twitter account, I mentioned that some indies may want to become Single A or Double A affiliates to WWE, seeing as NXT is the Triple A affiliate for WWE, if we are to use the baseball model. Also, I'm pretty sure MLB offers a streaming service for their Triple A affiliates, so that may be another avenue to explore to become the real One Stop Shop for everything any everything pro wrestling.

I really would love to see a one hour MST3K type show similar to what they did with the Kennel from Hell on Foley's first WWE comp. Maybe they can get Cabana to host it with a rotating guest of co-hosts, and air it live at 12 am on Saturday mornings.
Cabana with co-host Rob Naylor.
Dusty Rhodes would work as well.

For the big shows like Mania, I don't think so since the live gates are lots of $$$ and the fan Axxess I would think would give them lucrative photo-op opportunites. For the smaller shows, maybe. But at the point that millions of viewers are also watching the PPVs with the new system, it shouldn't affect them as much as we may think it might.

She'd probably want to take lariats from Stan Hansen, Kobashi, JBL, and Okada consecutively and still tell them to hit her harder.
Oh, and TMZ is reporting she's not dead yet, but gravely ill.

The server space is going to be through the roof, unless we start a DVDVR Network.

Reading about the Dudley Boyz story, she was even crazier about the type of spot she was willing to do:
Bubba Dudley addressed how delicately he did the move: "I picked her up very lightly, put her down very gently. After the match was over and we'd gone to the back, she came up to me, grabbed me by the wrist like only Lou Thesz could have done, 'Listen, hotshot, if you're gonna slam me, slam me like one of the boys.' You could imagine the look on my face, seeing this little, blonde lady telling me that. From there, we did the spot where I Superbombed her off the top of the stage, 12 feet from the ground, through two tables. She has since suggested to me on three different occasions that we do the same spot from the top of the steel cage.

The top of a steel cage? That would have been even nuttier. RIP Mae.

I am surprised to see there isn't a thread for 2014 yet, so I figured I would start one.
To start things off, I'd like to post the Leyenda de Plata final from last Friday between Titan and Negro Casas. So much good stuff in this match. Casas busts out a DDT into the turnbuckle, which I don't think I've ever seen before. Titan gets some real spring on his dives. Loved the story they told of Titan really being at Casas' level, and Casas put over Titan like a million bucks at the end of the match.

Furthermore, we can't be that far off from Impact Wrestling being archived on the WWE Network. Not that there's much there now, but the old X Division stuff would go nicely with a crusierweight focused show.

RAW and Smackdown replays are fine by me because I work evenings and don't get home until they're over. I also skip commercials to make the show go faster and FF anything I find boring or uninteresting.
The fascinating thing about the WWE Network to me is how (or if) independent wrestling in the United States is going to react/adapt to this seismic shift. If WWE is offering any and all wrestling your heart desires for $10/month, it makes it that much more difficult or off-putting to sell $20 DVDs for shows or put on $15 iPPVs that may or may not work.
Either independent wrestling needs to create their own Netflix type service, indy promotions will be forced to run more often to truly recreate territories to come anywhere close to creating a viable catalog offering to provide the IndyFlix type service, or do their damndest to try and become a Class A or Double A affiliate to NXT's AAA for WWE and get eyeballs on your promotion that way.

UK version of #struggleface
Edit: Anything Nottingham Forest can do, Man City can do better. If a 5-0 drubbing cost AVB his job, two straight can't be good for Big Sam.
Are the Hammers that desperate to play Millwall in the Championship next season?

SQUEEZE! SQUEEZE! SQUEEZE!
One of my favorite matches. I don't remember if the camera got a glimpse of fans high-fiving each other like it did when Yokozuna beat Hogan at King of the Ring 1993.
