  1. That was a great moment to see Sting use his bat on HHH. It was the classic Sting move of pointing to the Wrestlemania sign. He got his match and used the Scorpin death drop on HHH. It shoul be a great match. I still don't think the fans will accept a championship match between Reins and Brock.
  2. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/02/20/800000-healthcare-gov-users-received-wrong-tax-information/?hpid=z3 800,000 HealthCare.gov users received wrong tax information About 800,000 people who purchased health insurance through HealthCare.gov last year received incorrect tax information and have been asked to delay filing their returns, Obama administration health officials said Friday, a misstep affecting a critical part of the president’s signature health-care law. The mistake could slow down tax refunds for many Americans who depend on subsidies to afford coverage under the Affordable Care Act. It’s also drawn further criticism from Republican opponents, who say the error is just the latest evidence that the law is frustrating Americans and unworkable. After a bumpy debut more than a year ago, HealthCare.gov appeared to be running smoothly in recent months. There were no major tech glitches. And just days ago, the administration was trumpeting the wrap-up of an enrollment period that surpassed the president’s goals. But on Friday, administration officials said nearly one million customers had been notified and asked to delay filing their returns for two or three weeks. About 50,000 people who already filed their 2014 tax returns will likely have to resubmit information to the federal government. The subsidies are a significant part of the Affordable Care Act’s design. For people earning too much to qualify for Medicaid in their states but who lack other sources for health insurance, the subsidies can make or break whether they can afford coverage. On Friday, Republicans seized on the administration’s error and a separate announcement from officials that the government was extending enrollment for taxpayers who could be hit with a penalty for not being insured. “Whether it’s providing taxpayers with incorrect subsidy information or having to create special enrollment periods so that taxpayers can avoid costly penalties, Obamacare continues to frustrate and confuse Americans,” said Senate Finance Committee chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) in a statement. “The Administration’s latest attempt to unilaterally tweak their own law to avoid political fallout once again underscores the failed policies rooted in Obamacare’s DNA.” The error is tied to the local “benchmark” premiums the government uses to calculate subsidy payments. The cost of the 2015 benchmark plan was listed on some forms, instead of 2014, HHS explained in a blog post. The administration isn’t sure how this error occurred, said Andy Slavitt, a top administration official overseeing the federal health insurance exchanges. “We’re still investigating the cause,” Slavitt said on a press call Friday. In 2014, the first year of exchange operations, enrollees had two options for receiving financial assistance. The vast majority chose to receive the money up front based on their projected income. Now that it’s tax season, those consumers need to reconcile the credit if they received too little or too much during the year. The tax preparation firm H&R Block estimates that federal support was too generous for about half of subsidy recipients in 2014. The rest of the enrollees elected to receive the money entirely during tax season through a refund. Consumers Union health policy director Lynn Quincy said waiting another two or three weeks to file their return may be a challenge for low-income families that are counting on a refund. “There are a lot of families who count on the refund to make large purchases,” she said. “To the extent that they’re still getting a refund — which we hope they are — it will be hard to wait these extra couple of weeks.” Quincy’s group had been advising health-care shoppers to take as little as possible of the premium subsidy in advance to avoid a potentially painful process during tax season. However, she acknowledged that would make it difficult for many to afford monthly premiums. People who received subsidies under the health-care law must fill out a 1095-A tax form, indicating each household member who got coverage and how much in subsidies the government provided each month. If someone received too much in subsidies, he or she will have to pay it back. “It’s not easy to figure this thing out, even for someone who know what this is all about,” said Bob Williams of the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
  3. Here is a way for WWE to get out of this mess. Rollins could be bragging about him being the future of the company. Cena could say prove it. Everyone else had to risk their position in the company or spot as number one contender. HHH could say Cena has a great point. He could say that if Cena beats Rusev for the United States Championship then Cena would face Rollins in a ladder match for the Money in the Bank briefcase. The authority could interfere to help Rollins. Sting could interfere again and have Cena win the briefcase. This then infuriates the authority, Sting keeps messing up their plans. Cena with the Money in theBank contract opens up more options.
  4. There are several options to rescue the main event at wrestlemania. The Rock could demand that he get his rematch from his loss to cena a few wrestlemanias ago. He never got his guarenteed rematch. He could tell reins we are family but this is buisness. The other way is to have Lesnar lose the title before Wrestlemanis so someone else gets added. The third way is that Rollins uses his right as Mr Money in the bak to get added. Another way is to add Daniel Bryan to the match with the excuse he never lost his title but was injured. They used that excuse for Bad news Barrett to get his IC title back,
  5. Rollins could make a point to demand a title shot on a night that Lesnar is not there. He could say that it was a breach of contract becuse money in the bank meant that he could get a title shot whenever he wanted during the year. He could demand that they strip Lesnar of the Title. His other point could be that in addition the 30 Day rule had been violated by months and that was a reason that Daniel Bryan was stripped of the title. The title matchup at the Royal Rumble would be Seth Rollins vs John Cena.
  6. That was an awesome tables match last night between Cena and Rollins. Three Tables were broken and the Big Show and Roman Reins getting involved in the match.
  7. I found it interesting that their is a dispute between Flair being called a 16 time Champ and he considers himself a 21 time Champ. This will probably become important when Cena wins the title to become a 16 time Champion. This Bio had alot of interesting info on some match info that many fans might not know about his career.
  8. http://prowrestling.wikia.com/wiki/Ric_Flair Richard Morgan Fliehr (February 25, 1949) is a semi-retiredAmerican professional wrestler, better known by his ring nameRic Flair. Also known as "The Nature Boy", Flair is considered to be one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time with a professional career that spans 41 years and is noted for his lengthy and highly decorated tenures with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), World Championship Wrestling(WCW), and the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (now known as WWE). Flair is officially recognized by WWE,TNA and PWI as a 16-time World Heavyweight Champion(seven-time NWA Champion, seven-time WCW Champion and two-time WWF Champion) although his actual tally of World Championship reigns varies by source—Flair considers himself a 21-time world champion.
  9. http://www.inquisitr.com/1635010/wwe-news-sting-vs-undertaker-planned-for-wrestlemania-31/ WWE News: Sting vs. Undertaker Planned For WrestleMania 31 When Sting debuted at Sunday night’s Survivor Series pay-per-view and confronted Triple H, almost every WWE fan believed that the confrontation would lead to a match between Sting and Triple H at WrestleMania 31 in the spring of 2015. However, PW Insider has reported that is not the case. After Undertaker’s WrestleMania undefeated streak was broken at WrestleMania 30 by Brock Lesnar, most people believed that was a sign that Undertaker was going to retire. Now, it looks like Undertaker’s final match will be at WrestleMania 31 against Sting. PW Insider also added in the report that WWE is planning on having Sting take on Triple H at the Royal Rumble event on January 25, and the reasoning behind it is so the WWE audience can become familiar with Sting, and so Sting can have a good match, look strong, and pick up a win leading into his match with Undertaker at WrestleMania 31.
  10. This is the link to Sting's new entrance music. http://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2014/11/26/7290945/sting-entrance-video-new-wwe-theme When Sting finally made his WWE debut at Survivor Series this past Sunday night in St. Louis, he did so as the black-and-white face painted "Crow" character that made him a legend in 1997 while he was battling the forces of evil in the nWo. He did not bring his baseball bat, however, and his entrance theme was different than anything we've heard before. Above is what will serve as his entrance video and theme for however long his run with WWE lasts. Like it? Hate it? Wish WWE would have used his old music? Think they used the inspiration and created something better? Let's get your thoughts on the early WWE version of Sting.
  11. I was very excited to see Sting. I kept thinking that this would be the perfect time for Stings entrance. The story line is perfect. Sting got to repay vince for taking away his WCW from him. Sting waits til the perfect moment to get revenge by taking out the authority. Sting also gets HHH back for his invasion of Nitro during the Monday night wars. Sting can now align with Cena and get a match with HHH. The other question will be what happens to the Big Show for crossing team Cena? I had agreed with Kdawg that Sting would be huge when he would arrive in WWE.
  12. Cena won his Hell in a Cell match against randy Orton to becom the number one contender. I hope he can be Lesnar for the wwe Heavywweight championship. Brock not being around is making the money in the bank briefcase irrelavant. The whole point was that any point during the year it can be cashed in. With a part time Lesnar not around that is no longer true. They took the belt from daniel bryan because he was not able to defend his title. This situation with Lesnar is very similar.
  13. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/sep/30/us-judge-sides-oklahoma-health-care-suit/ U.S. judge sides with Oklahoma in health care suit By Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Tuesday, September 30, 2014 A federal judge in Oklahoma ruled Tuesday that Obamacare’s subsidies can only be paid in a fraction of states, signaling the latest legal problem for President Obama’s health law. U.S. District Court Judge Ronald A. White sided with Oklahoma State Attorney General Scott Pruitt, who said the way the Affordable Care Act was written means that subsidies, in the form of tax credits used to pay premiums, can only be paid to residents of states that set up their own exchanges, rather than thoserelying on the federal exchange and the HealthCare.gov portal
  14. Will Cena and Ambrose team up to attack the authority now?
  15. http://www.givemesport.com/496292-wwe-seth-rollins-says-hes-doesnt-have-creative-control-issues Add to that the recent comments by wrestling legend Sting in which he explained that all wrestlers except Bray Wyatt are boring, and you can see why the WWE writers are coming in for some criticism.
  16. They should have used the big gold belt for the champion. That Gold Belt shows World Champion. This new Belt doesn't say Heayweight Champion.
  17. It would be interesting to see if ric Flair tries to keep Cena from tieing his record as a sixteen time champion. The Nature boy gets a stable to try to keep Cena from doing that.Sting could come back and feud with him or with Orton if that was to happen. The other thing is if HHH gave the Nature Boy a title shot against Cena if the record was tied.
  18. The rematch clause is one of the staples of westleing plus the 30 day rule about title defenses. Brock could give some scrub a match and after beating him saying I don't have to defend the title for 30 days. I don't care if their is a pay per view before then etc. Then they can try to have MITB cashed on him or HHH tries to strip him of the title etc.Cena can do promos saying I told you he was just a mercanary etc.
  19. Now the Rock and Cena and Orton have rematch clauses plus the money in the Bank that could get the next title shot with Lesnar. The WWE made a mistake with Lesnar as a part time champion. If they had a problem with Daniel Bryant not being able to wrestle each week or be able to defend the Title more often. Does the Miz or AJ demand their rematches tonight?
  20. It was great during the NWA days when Jim Crockett promotions came to town. The Belts meant something in the mid Atlantic wrestling etc. LKB was right about the challenges for the belts. The Championship Belts would get challenges. For example either an up and coming wrestler or a former champion looking to reclimb the ladder would challenge for the Mid Atlantic Championship belt. The Mid Atlantic Chamionship meant something because he was the number one contender for the United States Championship. The Untied Sttes Champion was the number one contender for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. You also had the TV champion and the tag team championships. So on one show you had a challenge for the TV championship. The Champion on champion match with the Mid Atlantic Champion fighting for the United States Championship. The next time they came to town we had the TV Championship match and a match for the Mid Atlantic Championship and The United States Champion fighting the NWA Heavyweight champion for the NWA Championship. We would get a tag match for the tag team championships . We would get some other gimmick matchs like a challenge to the crowd for anyone who could last so much time in the ring against a wrestler. We would also get no dq matches etc. It was like a TV show or pay per view show when they came to town. The audience would be teenage Girls plus Teenage Boys plus families and then alot of middle age men. It was a good mix for the buisness They would get a few small kids but for the most part an adult crowd. The matches seemed less scripted and the wrestlers were able to adlib and give their own promos. The Wrestlers would talk trash to each other and the crowd.
  21. If Ambros wins the beat the clock challenge he should make Rollins have to defend his money in the bank contract in a ladder match.
  22. ESPN shows some old Wrestling shows. ESPN could put TNa on one of their many networks to fill some programing space.
  23. http://www.aol.com/article/2014/07/25/yes-former-wwe-champ-catches-suspected-burglar/20937292/?icid=maing-grid7%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl11%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D507322 Yes! Former WWE champ catches suspected burglar PHOENIX (AP) - A former WWE champion known as Daniel Bryan chased two burglary suspects he saw exiting his Phoenix home this week and subdued one until officers arrived, investigators said. According to police, Bryan Danielson and his wife, Brianna, drove into the carport of their Arcadia home and saw a door to the house start to open. That's when Danielson and his wife, a fellow former WWE star known as Brie Bella, ran inside to check on their dog, Josie. "I saw the guys running out the back. I chased them. I caught one of them. I kept him until police got there," Danielson said. Danielson and Cesar Sosa, 22, got into a struggle, but the former champ subdued him until officers arrived, Phoenix police Sgt. Tommy Thompson said. The second suspect got away. The former champ said he didn't have to apply the "Yes! lock" - his signature move- to get Sosa to surrender, but he did put him in a rear naked choke hold. "Unfortunately, he wasn't in very good shape," Danielson said. "So, it didn't take much." Sosa was arrested and faces a burglary charge. It was not known if he had an attorney who could be reached for comment.
  24. The attempted chokeslam by kane on Randy Orton should have counted as a tag. It is similar to a blind tag. WWE could not even get its rules straight.
