Anyone else get an email offering the network free from now until February 1st (a couple of days after the Royal Rumble)?

I cancelled my subscription back in the summer, hadn't bothered to renew yet, just curious if this is a giant ploy to get old subscribers back, or something they're actually offering in a big way

i cancelled a few months ago, but haven't received that offer

it was a nice surprise...the product hasn't done much the last 4-5 months to keep my interest, but hell, if they want to give me 2.5 months, including the Rumble, for free, who am I to complain?

if i get a free one i'm not even sure i'd take it...i was already losing interest and when football began i knew i wouldn't be able to keep up

i really don't even miss it right now

They must be desperate to get subscriber numbers up before the quarter ends.

[ABNorman]

Got my 'Mania tickets. Now I'll actually have to start watching PPVs again.

or hoping you get hooked now through the Rumble and decide to pay through WrestleMania at least

[Mecca]

So I'm going to NXT on Saturday

[numbers]

Glorious!

[Mecca]

Glorious!

Indeed. I wonder how much longer guys like him and Nakamura have til the main roster debuts. Royal Rumble?

[numbers]

I don't think you'll see either of them on the main until after Mania, Roode especially could be in NXT for another year possibly. They gutted NXT during the summer, you take Joe, Nak, and Roode out of the mix and there's not much there to sell tickets with.

[BurtReynolds]

Isn't Roode in his 40s? They better do something with him soon.

[BurtReynolds]

I guess most of the big names are, though.

[numbers]

I don't agree with it, I think it's a crime that Nakamura is being wasted down there.

Predictions for tonight:

Goldberg/Lesnar- Lesnar
Raw/SD Men- SD
Raw/SD Women- Raw
Raw/SD Tag Team- Raw
Miz/Zayn- Miz
Kendrick/Kalisto- Kalisto

[Anders]

Goldberg/Lesnar- Lesnar
Raw/SD Men- Raw
Raw/SD Women- Smackdown
Raw/SD Tag Team- Raw
Miz/Zayn- Kalisto
Kendrick/Kalisto- Zayn

[Mecca]

I think Lesnar wins, but they seem to give these old guys superior dad strength because they're "legends." I also don't get why Goldberg would return just to lose.

[numbers]

I can't imagine having Lesnar lose to him. At first I thought Shane may cost him the match to set up Shane-Lesnar, but that's kind of hard to do now that Shane is in the tag team match.

[Anders]

I think they are changing it so that the cruiserweights are going to Smackdown, and the intercontinental title to Raw.

Lesnar can only lose to interference/dq. No way would they make him look weak for Goldberg's last payday.

The other matches are difficult to predict. The Raw women have the top three stars, but there is a lot of room there for inter-team conflict. They can build on that for future feuds.

Perhaps the Smackdown men should win, but they seem to be going with a Undertaker vs AJ Styles feud, and it would fit perfectly, if the feud started with the Smackdown men losing. Undertaker did say something on Tuesday how he would come after the team if they lost.

The Raw tag team division is bigger and better, and should prevail. Raw is the main show, and needs to get some wins, but not all. So there will be some give and take.

[Mecca]

Miz is going to beat Zayn, but jump ship to Raw tomorrow.

[Mecca]

do yourself a favor and watch the preshow interview with kevin owens/jericho

[Simple Torture]

That line about Heath Slater practicing moves in his above-ground pool was the funniest jab since Bobby Heenan lost the bottom half of his face.

[Simple Torture]

Haha wow
