I get a lot of questions from people who read the blog who ask why I have these long posts before we get to the picks. Why do I ramble on about current events? Well it’s quite simple, what I do here is predictive science. I use math and scientific method to predict the outcome […]
Not sure if any of you read the news daily. Or watch an evening broadcast. But there was kind of a big story down in Arkansas. Apparently, unbeknownst to most of the homeowners, there was a small to moderate oil pipeline under the ground. This pipeline carried Canadian Tar Sands Oil; which for those who […]
The basis of my love for statistics and numbers comes from a love of facts first and foremost. The data is used to support the factual based opinions one can subscribe to. Anything else is rather…unpleasant. I took that love and studied economics with it. It was the simplest way to take a love of […]
If there is one thing I don’t talk about very often in my multiple public platforms, it’s politics or religion. I have a theory that no one really wants to hear about that stuff. You’re pretty much set in your ways. And I use the collective you there. People often times don’t like to be […]
Here is something about me you may not know. I get bored easily. In fact, I move from hobby to hobby very quickly. If it isn’t juggling or magic or books or video games or movies…you get it. I’m easily moved from one idea or activity. We all move at the speed of technology. What […]
There is a segment in our country that I like to call history deniers. They shape history around what they want it to be not what the facts actually dictate. We see it In Science all of the time, but it’s more honest there. A man (and I say man for an obvious reason) will […]
One of things I’ve tried to do over the years is remain realistic about the possibilities that are in front of me. There is never need to panic or worry when life presents so many opportunities to you. Every decision that you make has infinite possibilities. Some scientists believe in a multiple universe theory, that […]
As you’ve probably noticed from these posts, not only am I a big fan of Sabermetrics, but I’m also a big fan of scouting. I do think that a well trained scout can spot something that the math will not. We are not computer programs, and to think so is ridiculous. Even the best and […]
One of the big complaints in today’s society is the amount of “garabage” on TV, the radio or at the movie theater. Old timers don’t think that what we listen to or watch today is real art. Jay-Z isn’t Sinatra. Brad Pitt isn’t Gregory Peck. Here Comes Honey-Boo-Boo isn’t M.A.S.H. And that’s true. Some things […]
Lets begin with this: In the modern era of wrestling, be it local or national, there are more variables than Taylor Swift ex boyfriends. If you want to pick the winners of matches, you have to understand these variables. If you want to have a legitimate shot at winning money impressing your friends, then the […]

The eXpress Lane returns with BC Steele and Stryder The eXpress Lane Season 1 Episode 6
Now I know what you are thinking…”Marcus, Sabermetrics have no place in wrestling, there is no way to quantify this business.” First instinct of most wrestling fans, and nearly ALL professional wrestlers. On a recent road trip with a few wrestlers I broached the topic to a car full of laughter. “Wrestlers don’t do math,” […]
So on my twitter account I had an interesting thought. Are we seeing the twilight of @Ctaylor84_O at @PWXProWrestling? other than the Brass Knuckles win, when was his last clutch performance? — Marcus Mann (@MarcusMannPWX) January 11, 2012 Well needless to say that sparked something. I got this response from Chris Taylor @MarcusMannPWX …I do […]
The eXpress Lane Season 1 Episode 4 Episode 4 features BC Steele and Payton Graham breaking down New Years Knockout and making their predictions for the January 14th 2012 show
Stacy Hunter dropped a bomb on me earlier today. After demanding I talk about her, and then making fun of a spelling mistake, she had this to say via Twitter. @MarcusMannPWX under raps? is Jay-Z working for us now? Of course no one will talk, it's in their contracts, and yes contracts plural — Bonnie […]
After last nights appeal hearing I was a tad emotional. And I took to twitter and called what happened “Outrageous.” I apologize for that outburst, it was unprofessional. Last night, Ashton Amherst showed up to his appeal hearing with his attorney in tow wearing sweatpants and his “Best in Pittsburgh” T-shirt drinking a coffee. Wearing […]
In a not at all surprising move PWX has decided to fine Ashton Amherst $2,500 for his attack on a PWX official at Christmas Chaos. Breaking News: @AshtonAmherst fined $2,500 for his attack on a PWX official. He has decided to appeal and a hearing is set for later today. — PWX (@PWXProWrestling) January 11, […]
Boy did 2011 go out with a bang at PWX. Who would have predicted that the last image of 2011 would be Brandon K pinning Chris LeRusso, while Scottie Gash was seconds away from being Heavyweight Champion, and for all intents and purposes screwing his own tag partner out of his long sought after goal? […]
