EA shows off NBA Live 14 at E3

Adding to the list of jargon terms applied to the tech in EA Sports games, NBA Live 14 includes “BounceTek” physics for dribbling, which apparently improves ball physics, instead of merely expressing them as part of the player character’s hand motions.

WWE Elimination chamber 2013 Results

WWE Champion The Rock retained his title against CM Punk at the 2013 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view and secured his spot in the main event of WrestleMania 29.

The Rock won the title for the first time in a decade at last month’s Royal Rumble, and his successful title defense was the first of his latest reign. Punk’s inability to re-capture the title will inevitably relegate him from the WWE Championship scene for the road to WrestleMania.

John Cena won the Royal Rumble match and chose to face the WWE champion at WrestleMania 29, and with The Rock’s victory at Elimination Chamber, it’s clear that the company is getting the dream match it wanted for this year’s show.

John Cena vs. The Rock II: Twice in a Lifetime.

The victory for The Rock proves that the plan all along was to have him face Cena once again this year, but with the caveat that the WWE title was on the line. That makes it different.

While many fans will complain about this match, a WrestleMania main event will receive more mainstream buzz with Rock and Cena involved than any other two WWE superstars on the roster.

From a business standpoint, the path the company took is a financial no-brainer.

As for Punk, the versatile worker could be put into a feud with almost any star in the WWE and make it an instant classic. While the loss in the title match doesn’t help the star’s credibility, the fact that Punk was in a title match with The Rock is a huge rub.

Both men benefited from their matches and have done a great job working together. When The Rock comes back after leaving again, another chapter to the feud with Punk would be a great addition to any card.

A battle between Punk and The Rock doesn’t need a championship to be something the fans never forget.

The Rock’s course is very simple and very direct; he’s on a one-way road to the main event of WrestleMania 29 where he will face off with John Cena for the WWE Championship.

After likely dropping the title to Cena in the biggest match of his life, The Rock will return to filming movies and being an actor. The WWE legend should be back for a show or two each year—something similar to Brock Lesnar’s schedule—but odds are that this is the last title reign in The Rock’ career.

The WWE will have something huge planned for Punk while The Rock and Cena are fighting for the title, but it wouldn’t be surprising at all if the WWE decides to pit Cena and Punk against each other after WrestleMania 29.

No matter what’s the road to WrestleMania, it is shaping up to be amazing.

WWE Elimination Chamber Match 2013

Elimination Chamber (also known as No Escape (2013) in Germany) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE. The PPV will take place in the New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana on February 17, 2013. Elimination Chamber consists of a main event and undercard that feature championship matches and other various matches. The concept of the show is that a main event match is contested inside the Elimination Chamber.

As The Road to WrestleMania makes its last, most brutal pit stop, the WWE Universe is waiting with baited breath to see who will emerge from the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view with momentum on their side as they head to The Grandest Stage of Them All. And with both World Titles on the line, six possible No. 1 contenders to the World Heavyweight Championship and the Money in the Bank wrinkle still in play courtesy of Dolph Ziggler, the potential for a major shake-up in the WrestleMania picture has never been higher. In fact, the only ones more curious than the WWE Universe as to how it will play out are the Superstars themselves. Happily, the locker room had more than a few predictions to share.

No.	Match	Stipulations
Pre-show	Brodus Clay and Tensai vs. Team Rhodes Scholars (Damien Sandow & Cody Rhodes)	Tag team match
1	The Rock (c) vs. CM Punk	Singles match for the WWE Championship. If The Rock is disqualified or counted out, he will lose the championship.
2	Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Big Show	Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship
3	Jack Swagger vs. Chris Jericho vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Kane vs. Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton	Elimination Chamber match to determine the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 29
