We're looking for your thoughts on Saturday night's Elimination Chamber PPV so you can send a thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs in the middle along with a best and worst match to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

We're also looking for reports on Sunday's TNA show in Morgantown, WV.

Smackdown, Main Event and Saturday Morning Slam will be taped on Tuesday in Biloxi.

Tonight has UFC Tonight at 10 p.m., UFC Prime Time (this last episode) at 10:30 p.m. and a 30 minute Countdown show at 11 p.m.

        This week's issue of the Wrestling Observer will be up on the site today, as well as a back issue from late 1995.  The back issue talks about the legal issues that were going down at the time when there were attempts to ban UFC, as well as a preview of the first-ever Ultimate Ultimate competition, more details on the street fight that severely damaged Shawn Michaels, and the annual big tag team tournaments in Japan during the heyday of All Japan Pro Wrestling.
 
        The new issue has a final preview of the Elimination Chamber PPV, what changes were made over the past few weeks on the show, why the changes were made, a look at the new Zeb Colter character, where it came from, the card as it stands and more.
 
        We also have a major update on the WWE Network, with not just the plans, but what type of business it needs to do to be successful.  We look at the value of the U.S. PPV franchise that they are putting at risk, whether this will end up helping WrestleMania, how many subscribers they will need, and what percentage of non-PPV buyers do they need.  We also look at whether names like Brock Lesnar and The Rock pay off if the structure of PPVs besides WrestleMania changes, and how the wrestlers could come out the worst in this deal.  We also look at what is being planned for the network.
 
        We also look at the IOC's decision to get rid of wrestling as an Olympic sport.  We look at the politics of how it went down, how the voting went down, the real reasons wrestling was dumped, the slim chance wrestling has to survive, movements being done that may be too little too late, how this affects amateur wrestling after college in the U.S., as well as its potential effects on UFC and even WWE.  We also talk with Kurt Angle on what this means to him, as well as comments by Cael Sanderson and others.
 
        We also have an update on the Bruno Sammartino movie and how his deal with WWE may lead to the movie being done, the challenges of the movie, and an interesting thing about the movie if WWE ends up producing it.
 
        We also have more on WrestleMania ticket sales, an update on Undertaker, Changes in Raw, movie on former WWF star, more on the last WWE training camp, updates on Steve Austin, an Olympic medalist WWE is looking at, JBL missing some TV, as well as all the weekend UFC business notes and house show highlights.   
 
        We also have complete coverage of the New Japan New Beginnings PPV show, including the most important thing that came out of the show that shocked people and what it says about the future of the company on iPPV.  We've got business notes, thoughts on Tanahashi's run on top, New Japan's attempt to break Tanahashi out of the pack from being a current world champion to the business' legend in his prime, and where the company is going next.
 
        We also have match-by-match coverage on the show as well as poll results on the show

Today's News, Notes and Links

-- In what has been compared to if Rock signed with TNA or GSP signed with Bellator, Showtime today announced the signing of Floyd Mayweather away from HBO. Showtime will now promote his fights along with CBS TV, six over the course of the next 30 months, the first taking place May 4th when he takes on Robert "Ghost" Guerrero. While the financial details are being kept secret, they are claiming the new deal is "by far the biggest in the sport of boxing" and that Mayweather is "the highest paid athlete in the world" (stat comes from Forbes in 2012).

-- Big story on the signing from ESPN here.

-- The Jack Swagger/Zeb Colter storyline is getting a lot of press today, both on conservative blogs and radio shows and also for a story NBC is working on.

-- From RJ Brewer's Facebook: This will be the only time I respond to the questions I have received regarding WWE "stealing my stuff." I have been wrestling for Lucha Libre USA for almost 3 years and have been using that platform to speak against illegal immigration from the start. I have been featured on CNN, Fox News, The Geraldo Rivera Morning Show, front page of the LA Times, front page of the BBC, and most recently, ABC... Nightline. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone else took advantage of my press and success. For me to complain would say I am against capitalism, and that is not true in the least. The reason I have done what I have done is because this is not some silly wrestling storyline, this is real. My feelings are magnified for the camera and the live audience, but what I say comes from the bottom of my heart. This is why I was invited to the Sheriff Joe Arpaio walk, and asked to be a guest speaker at Rusell Pearce's (author of SB 1070) fundraiser. They say the most sincere form of flattery is imitation. I say imitation is suicide, because to try to be what someone else really is, is only killing who you are. Our audience is Latino, our wrestlers are Latino and that is why RJ Brewer is so effective. I don't need a mouthpiece. I don't need a machine behind me. I don't need human growth hormone and/or to be protected by a phony drug test only to be thrown out like yesterday's garbage when I am finished. RJ Brewer will always be 100% real, no matter how hard someone tries to diminish that. All I need are my views and a platform to spread them, and so far, that has worked just fine. Lucha Libre USA goes on tour this spring, stay tuned for dates and stay tuned for a documentary to be filmed about "Latin America's Favorite Enemy." Last year, an average of 3000 fans came out each night to watch us, and this year should be even better. Thank you.

-- Mediaite has a story on it here.

-- Story about the creation of the new WWE Title belt here. Apparently it's not wholly accurate. You can also buy the belt if you so desire for $440 by clicking here. As you can see, the side plates can be switched out for different champions, so if John Cena wins at WrestleMania he won't be running around all year with Brahma Bulls on the side of his belt. I know a lot of people don't like this belt, but my God, the spinner belt was an all-time horrible design and this is a huge improvement.

-- Ryan notes: On Raw, CM Punk said cena had never beat him and I immediately thought of twice that Cena beat Punk.. Cena pinned Punk in the Elimination Chamber in 2011 and Cena tapped out Punk during the 09 Slammy Awards in about a minute. Keep up the great work!

-- John at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it writes: I have four WrestleMania 29 tickets, section 224B, I'm looking to sell. If you could post this on the site, I would greatly appreciate it. Face value is $175 each.

-- Mickie James' new song, Somebody's Gonna Pay, is available for 99 cents on iTunes right now at this link.

-- There is a picture hereof Scott Hall, looking much older than his years, in a wheelchair, arriving to live with Dallas Page and Jake Roberts. Page is going to try to turn his life around like he seemingly has with Jake.

-- New interview with Jake up here.

-- Countdown to UFC 157 debuts on FUEL tonight at 11 Eastern, and will replay throughout the week. You can check out a preview by clicking here.

-- Ronda Rousey's mom, Dr. Ann Maria DeMars, who also happens to be the first American to medal in Judo at the World Championships, buried Cris Cyborg on the MMA Hour Monday night. We all know she's doing steroids. It's like the guy who gets caught with a DUI and says, ‘That's the first time I've ever drove drunk in my life.' Well, it's possible, but its not too likely. I would say that if you're a disciplined athletes and you can be disciplined enough to monitor your training and your weight and make your weight you committed to, why can't she do that too? Why should she get special privileges? I don't believe in special rules for special people and I think all of her reasons for not making weight are false. I say that because I competed for many, many years, and the thing about you can't cut weight because it might damage your chance of having children? Please. I had four kids and I competed for 14 years and I cut all the way down. To make weight once for three minutes to stand on a scale and someone offers you a bucket of money and you say you can't do it?She also noted that she thought Ronda was completely out of her mind when she first came to her and told her instead of going to college she was going to go into women's MMA.

-- Nate Marquardt replaces Johny Hendricks in the latter's previously-booked fight with Jake Ellenberger at UFC 158 in Montreal on March 16th. Hendricks will now face Carlos Condit after Condit's original opponent, Rory MacDonald, pulled out citing neck and back injuries that will keep him away from training for about the next four weeks.

-- TCW promoter Matt Riviera will be on Millionaire Matchmaker tonight.

-- Josh Barnett issued a statement about why he's not signing with the UFC, and while he wouldn't give the exact reason, he said he wanted something that the company had offered Eddie Alvarez and they said no. Could have been a signing bonus, could have been PPV points, could have been a number of different things.

-- Dave Doyle has a good story on Liz Carmouche in advance of this weekend's Rousey vs. Carmouche PPV here.

--New Japan has posted the Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Prince Devitt match from 2010 herein anticipation for their non-title rematch coming up on March 3rd, where Tanahashi says if he loses he'll vacate the title and enter this year's New Japan Cup.
