FEED HIM THE CELL

Nick Menta of The 700 Level and CSN Philly stops by the podcast this week. We start off by talking about Hell in a Cell and The Ryback's ascent to the main event of Hell in a Cell. We discuss the way WWE gets to satisfying conclusions by taking unsatisfying paths to them. We also discuss who might end up injecting themselves into the main event to help CM Punk retain his title without stripping Ryback of his undefeated streak. Brock Lesnar is the obvious answer, but I bring up Bill Goldberg as an out-of-leftfield answer. The tag team division also comes up, as both of us fear a bit that it's only temporary. Then we get into some heady college football discussion, first about Temple and how fortunes have changed for the program over the last decade. Then we get into how bad the ACC is before some philosophical examination on why certain SEC teams are able to dominate defensively over the burgeoning tide of massive offense in the college ranks.
