Closest thing to NYC Bagels in Boston - VOTE!
I'm doing something kind of silly. I'm going to visit my sister + fam in London for 1 week and since I'm checking in luggage, I have plenty of space to bring food from here. I've read the posts/threads on "best bagels in boston." In order to avoid trying one from each of the following, can you please make your vote for the best bagels in Boston (defined by closest to NY bagels).
1. Kupel's
2. Iggy's
3. Bagel Rising
4. Bagel by Us
5. Rosenfeld
6. Brugger's
re: StriperGuy
Katz's in Chelsea also.
re: Infomaniac
I agree. This has been hashed out a lot. The only NYC style bagels in the area are Rosenfeld's and Katz's. Others may be good but they aren't NYC style.
re: Infomaniac
re: StriperGuy
(Crabby rant edited out and moved to Site Talk, where it belongs http://www.chowhound.com/topics/523258 )
IMO Katz's is the best I've found around here but I haven't made it to Rosenfeld's yet. And I'll add the controversial opinion that Brueggers's CAN do good bagels- they just don't always do it. But when they're on (don't overcook it, overproof it or whatever they do to ruin it), they can put out a bagel that's pretty damn good.
re: Chris VR
I agree re Brueggers. The key is getting the bagel when it's fresh outta the oven...unfortunately when you don't get it that way I think the bagel is nothing special...
re: StriperGuy
Definitely Katz's and it's really close to Logan, so they should be fresh.
re: StriperGuy
** my post was about me wanting to being bagels to london **
sorry for posting something that has been "hashed 12 gazallion times." despite all the newbie haters, i really appreciate all your votes/recommendations.
I'm going to try to go to Katz although its a little bit further from me (brookline), othewise I'll go to Rosenfelds which is really close by - except that its not open monday - the day that i am flying.
re: kweesee
Not a newbie-hater at all... just wish folks would take the time to do a little good old fashioned homework before posting.
Heck I eat Kupel's, Iggy's, and of late even Bruegger's and they are all fine. But if you want the creme de la boston-creme probably Katz's.
7. None of the above
While it is not my favorite in NY, H&H ships world wide and smokes anything available up here. Sad, but true.
Personally I would have some bialys shipped up from Kossars if you really want to fill your luggage. The shipping is expensive, however no more than time and gas spent in runnung aroud to the 6 sub par places listed above.
re: Gabatta
no native new yorker would agree with you, as H & H bagels are oversized monstrous pillows and not bagels.
re: teezeetoo
I agree about H&H to a point, however they are still way better than anything available in Boston and all of the suggestions listed above. I suggested them as they will ship overseas thus saving the OP suitcase space.
No native New Yorker would disagree that Kossar's bialy's are among the best choices in NY which is why that was suggested if the OP truly wants to pack a case with bagels.
Thanks for the info on "native NYers", you must be very knowledgable on the subject. I guess I haven't been down there to see the family in awhile and things have changed ;)
re: Gabatta
kossars is still good (the best bialy but they were sold and they've lost a little) Sorry, but H & H bagels suck. Rosenfelds and Katz's are better by far and even Brueggers are smaller and tougher textured when they are baked right. i grew up in Borough Park, so maybe we just have different bagel childhoods!
re: teezeetoo
Agreed. I think they're entirely overrated.
I like Kupel's and Breuggers, but I don't love either.
re: Gabatta
FWIW, you can get H&H bagels hot and fresh from Idywilde Farms in Acton. They are delivered frozen and partially cooked. They finish baking the bagels on site. http://www.idylwildefarm.com/
re: bostonfoodie111
This option is also available at Bagels by US in Arlington, but the bagels are not the same texture as the fresh ones in NYC (I'm referring to the storefront next to Zabar's on the UWS to be precise- can't vouch for all H&H outlets) - but at least on par with Breuggers, Iggy's, and Kupel's.
re: bostonfoodie111
Stella's Cafe (new on Washington St in the South End) also has H&H, M-F.
I'll vote for No. 7, Cafe Fresh, in Dedham or Needham. I haven't been to Katz's, but I prefer it, by far, to any of those listed above.
re: hiddenboston
Katz's are still the best in this area. Another place with really good bagels is Newmans Bakery in Swampscott..Its a great run-down old Jewish Bakery with some great bagels.
I think a lot of the better Bagel Shops in our area rival some of the better ones in NYC actually.
re: jvish
O.K., I've heard this before - got some awhile ago [from Newman's Bakery in Swamscott, that is] and thought they were only meh. Looked like the place was closing - they had practically nothing there.
But, in the interest of science, I'll give it another try... is there a day or time that's better than others to get them?
re: threedogs
Newmans always looks like they are closing its a dump, but I think for that old school, crusty / chewy bagel they do a good job.
couldnt tell you when the best time to go is, but I do know they are always baking late night every night..I drive by there all the time at night and the lights are always on in the back...
just a suggestion not the be all end all of bagels. Not as good as Katz's or Rosenfelds but I think as good as most other places.
re: jvish
Here's an article about Newman's in today's Globe (May 30). An uncertain future, at least when it comes to thier kosher status.
There's a small chain of bagel (and deli sandwich) shops in London called "Bagel Street," which I found surprisingly tolerable when I stopped in one of their Heathrow locations last summer. I too am a New York bagel snob, and I don't much like most of the bagels I can get in New York these days (particularly the over-fluffy H&H variety). A fresh Bruegger's bagel here in Boston can be excellent, at least up to modern New York standards.
re: owades
I agree (see above!) My favorite bagel (closest to childhood bagel is what I mean) is from Great Barrington Bagels in Great Barrington MA where Marvin the baker has tried to emulate his ny childhood! small, dense, terrific bagels.
re: teezeetoo
second that.
Another vote for None of the Above. Though it's out of the geographic locus of the OP, there's a great bagel place in Pembroke that i've never seen mentioned here, Gunther Toothie's. Though out of the way for many, it's the best I've had in the Boston-area and closest to the "Hot Bagel" places I remember from my youth in NJ. I'm not claiming it's on par with Kosar's or H&H in NY (which I like very much), but I think it's a cut above Bagel Rising, which I think as a good a bagel as can be found in Boston proper. It's right off exit 12 on Route 3, on Route 139 going toward Marshfield.
Rosenfeld is most consistent (I've always missed Katz's so I defer to the judgement of other deans of the Boston board on theirs)
Kupel's is good but inconsistent
Iggy's is not a NY bagel but more like a Montreal bagel
Bruegger's pumpernickel and plain when fresh are very good.
H&H are flabby and lacking whether here or on the Upper West Side - they must live off of a prior reputation or something.
Never been to Bagel Rising or Bagels By Us.
Bagel World can be good, if too large; they at least carry salt bagels (which Bruegger used to have - any bagelry claiming title to a crown should carry them).
And, we should remember, NY bagels are not what they used to be - like NY pizza, a dwindling circle of a one mighty empire...
re: Karl S
oh wow. thanks karlS for the great tips. Although Katz has the most votes, I think I will end up going to Rosenfelds cause it has the second highest # of votes and its also only a few miles away from me.
re: steinpilz
THEY GO STALE AFTER 2 DAYS??? I am probably buying them sunday morning and taking of monday night! oh no !
re: kweesee
It's true! Since I live nearby this isn't a problem for me (closed Mon and Tues if I remember their latest schedule correctly BTW). But I have ordered larger numbers of Rosenfeld's bagels and then sliced & frozen them -- it works perfectly fine, they thaw and toast like fresh, and Rosefeld's helpfully provides baggies and twist ties for freezing whenever your order 4 or more.
re: kweesee
The faster a bagel goes stale, the more authentic it is. Bagels were meant to be eaten the same day.
re: Karl S
I tend to agree on this point. Perhaps my favorite bagel place in the Northeast--Main Street Bagels and Appetizing in Flushing (Queens)--has truly amazing bagels, but if you try them a couple of days after buying them, they are almost inedible.
re: hiddenboston
It's the same thing - even more so - with hard rolls (something that doesn't exist in Boston and exists in good form in much reduced availability in the NY area) - they should stale within a few hours.
The idea that quick staling is a sign that a certain type of bread was made right will be counterintuitive to most Americans who are brought up on the idea that longer shelf life always equals better quality.
re: Karl S
that means i'll have to go to Katz monday morning since im flying monday night, and freeze them as soon as i get to london...hope they dont stale!!!!!
re: kweesee
Katz's is now closed on Monday. I was there on Saturday and they have a handwritten sign up.
BTW, they make the best cinnamon bubka ever. Available only on Friday and Saturday.
re: Karl S
Another NY/NJ area hard roll lover here! Maybe some angel would let me start a hard roll bakery (employing retired bakers from the MY/NJ area) to satisfy the latent demand for hard rolls in us baby boomers?
I would definitely vote Bagel Rising. I'm from the NY area and those are the only ones I've had that are similar to what I grew up with. Rosenfeld's are good but too spherical for my taste.
re: kweesee
At the risk of asking a really stupid question, what's a flat bagel?
re: okello
Flagels are a wonderful Long Island thing - bagels that have been flattened to increase the crust area (especially for seeded bagels).
They are different from onion boards or pletzels, but arguably inspired by them (they use a bagel-type dough, not a bialy-type dough)
re: Karl S
oh lord, why did you mention onion boards! I haven't seen or tasted one in years. gonna call my cousin from great neck and see if she can get me come!!
re: teezeetoo
I stumbled on an onion board at a bakery in Stoughton on Central St (Ave?). I hadn't seen them since my mother use to get them at one of the bakeries on Blue Hill Ave many many years ago. I think the name of the bakery is Ruth Anns. It's steps from138 on a side street near McDonalds. It was pretty good.
Has anyone ever had bagels from Cape Cod Bagel in Falmouth. A former NYer makes the best bagels I've ever had.
re: lergnom
The Someday used to have Katz's, so it is possible.
I'm not really sure why you'd like to bring bagels to London, I've always preferred the London beigels to American bagels - they are a bit smaller and taste much better, somehow fresher and chewier.
There are two 24 hr beigel bakeries in Brick Lane just east of the city area in London that are excellent and crazy cheap. Both run traditionally by families that have been baking for centuries. No bagel in the US has come close to how good they taste, although I admit that the style is different here with the size is typically much bigger.
For a good, big bagel similar to the kind I've had in NYC I'd definitely vouch for Bagel Rising over several others in your list.
If any chowhounders know of anywhere in Boston or further afield (e.g. NYC) that does traditional beigels like those in London then please let me know.
re: teaTomE
maybe i'll just bring half a dozen then just for the heck of it, and then also go check out the bagel place that you mentioned. how far is it from sloan square?
re: kweesee
it's completely the other side of town so 20 mins or so on the Tube. It's well worth the trip too. Brick Lane is easily one of the best streets in London with hip fashion and vintage stores, Banksy artwork everywhere, some innovative cafes, the beigels and of course, the famous stretch of curry houses.
re: Bob Dobalina
Kupel's better than Rosenfeld's? I wonder if they've changed things in the last couple years.
re: Joanie
The bagels we had were pillowy soft on the inside, with a nice crust on the outside, and almost carmelized on the bottom half. Don't get me wrong - I like Rosenfeld's, but these were heavenly.
re: Bob Dobalina
Bagels shouldn't be pillowy, they should be dense.
re: Luther
When I lived closer by, I used to frequent Kupel's....sometimes they'd be fantastic, sometimes just okay, and sometimes live insects were visible among their products.
re: Ralphie_in_Boston
Yeah, as much as I *usually* like Kupel's, I have indeed found it to be a bit hit or miss. That's gross about the insects, BTW.
I really miss Zeppy's in Randolph. I always liked going there on a Sunday morning to grab a bagel or two.
re: Luther
Yes. Like lead in the stomach. That was their raison d'etre.
re: Luther
They were dense AND pillowy. ;-b
re: Bob Dobalina
Absolutely Kupel's - consistently the best. Of course the whole conversation is ridiculous -- just what the hell is a "New York Bagel"?
re: LDoll13
I just went to Katz's for the first time Sunday morning and I have to say that they were the best bagels I've had in a long time. Just the right size and excellent texture inside and out. To make them even better, we ate them sitting on the seawall at Winthrop Beach, with Katz's plain cream cheese, and we drove from Chelsea to Winthrop by scooter. The only things that made the experience slightly less than perfect were that we lacked (a) beverages, and (b) big red tomato slices. Oh well, you can't have everything.
re: kweesee
You might call Rosenfeld's and tell them your story, I'm sure they'd like it. Rosenfelds cooks their bagels throughout the day (as a customer there's nothing better than smelling and picking up warm bagels in the morning) so they could tell you when the last baking will be and I'm sure they could set aside as many as you wish. You might try slicing and freezing them that night, maybe a little thawing in-flight then back in the freezer. They definitely will be stale by day 3 morning if you don't do anything though.
Good luck in the UK, I was interested to read here about the beigels in Britain.
re: steinpilz
steinpilz - when i want to eat it, do i thaw it in room temperature before toasting? thanks
re: kweesee
Definitey thaw it, I'd say either at RT or in the fridge depending upon how urgent the need. :-)
So are you in London now kweesee? If so, I'm jealous (but I did get some warm Rosenfelds bagels this morning to stave off the rain, so all's not bad I guess).
re: steinpilz
thanks & london is 6/30 !!! :)

Ohio Couple Arrested for Giving Away Their Two-Year-Old Daughter
A young Ohio couple was arrested Thursday after police discovered they had given their neglected 2-year-old daughter to a neighbor 10 days earlier.
Cleveland police received a tip and went to the home of Courtney Followay, 23, and Gavin Aldridge, 24, where they found an emaciated pit bull and fecal matter inside the house, but no child. The officers then discovered Followay and Aldridge had given the little girl away to friends in the neighborhood who agreed to take custody of their daughter if the couple would get help for their alleged drug addiction.
According to the police report, when the child was given away, she had numerous bug bites and her eyes were crusted shut.
Officers took custody of the little girl and gave her to her maternal grandmother, Theresa Cox, after having her examined at a local hospital. The woman seemed to be completely unaware of the situation.
"I can't imagine what this child was thinking about or going through at the time," she said. "That's who concerns me the most. What she went through and why she should have to go through that."
The parents face charges of child endangering, obstructing official business and cruelty to animals.

Multi-million pound infield restoration now underway
26 September 2012
Donington Park, one of the UK's most popular racing circuits and host to World Championship races for cars and motor bikes, has started work on a multi-million pound project to reinstate, re-shape and landscape the infield spectator and outdoor exhibition areas of its world-class race track.
The two-year project will see new spectator banks created on the infield overlooking the Old Hairpin, Starkeys Bridge and McLeans. When complete, this work will also greatly improve the viewing areas around Coppice, along the main Straight, and into both the Fogarty Esses (Grand Prix circuit) and the newly-named Roberts chicane on the National track layout.
Bob Adams, Donington Park Circuit Manager, commented: "This is a major project for the Park and will create a fantastic viewing area for all the fans. We'll be shaping 250,000 tons of material with topsoil and new grass lawns, right across these 24 acres, to make sure they will work well as our new spectator banks. We are also taking the opportunity of constructing new roads to improve access to the infield area, both for show cars at major events to reach display areas, but more importantly for the many manufacturer displays and the traders who enjoy the advantages of the Infield."
The original Donington Park infield was excavated by contractors working for the previous operator's ill-fated Formula 1 circuit rebuild in 2009. Now placing that whole episode firmly into the history books, the new Donington ownership and management has, following a successful council planning application this summer, now committed to transform the circuit over the next two winters.
Phase One of the infield restoration will be completed by end-March 2013. This will see the eastern half of the infield restored. Phase Two will take place during the 2013-2014 winter circuit closed period, thereby ensuring that all the new spectator banks are completed and ready for the significant growth plans for the 2014 racing season.
In 2012, Donington Park has hosted its busiest racing schedule ever, with more than 30 events of the very best in World, European and British motor sport, including the World and British Superbikes, the British Touring Car Championship, the British Truck Grand Prix, and the European Le Mans Series. In addition, Donington Park will this weekend, 29th/30th September, host the concluding round of the FIA GT1 World Championship.
Christopher Tate, Managing Director at Donington Park, added: "We've had an amazing year of dramatic racing and a return of the crowds, for both the two and the four wheel events at the circuit. Now, with the infield work already fully underway, Donington Park continues its rebirth as the heart and soul of British motorsport."

Dear Editor,
Republicans may have won the Senate and kept the House, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is no inspiration, allowing President Obama to keep all of the leverage of shutting down government spending while the President wags the threatening finger of executive orders in McConnell's face.

A conspiracy involving a Catholic priest responsible for an IRA bombing is uncovered.
The ombudsman relates how the terrorists had tried to telephone a warning to the RUC from nearby Dungiven but local phones were not working - because the IRA had blown up the exchange some days before. By the time they alerted the police, two of the bombs had already exploded.
Sinn Fein, the political wing of the now-disbanded IRA, called for a truth commission to deliver closure for all families bereaved in the troubles. James Allister, leader of a minority unionist party, Traditional Ulster voice, accused the Catholic Church of being complicit "in covering up mass murder in Claudy."
Whitelaw's successor, Owen Paterson, for his part said the British government was "profoundly sorry" that Chesney's role in the bombings was not properly investigated. Conway, Whitelaw and Shillington have since passed away.
The atrocity was commemorated by Irish poet James Simmons in a work entitled "Claudy," which included the lines:
"An explosion too loud for your eardrums to bear;
and young children squealing like pigs in the square,
and all faces chalk-white and streaked with bright red,
and the glass and the dust and the terrible dead…
Meanwhile to Dungiven the killers have gone,
and they're finding it hard to get through on the phone."

Although very nice, the clerk was very inexperienced with the system. This delayed my departure by 20 minutes as she dealt with the customers before me and myself. In addition, I saw I note on the contract after I turned in the truck I was unaware of that there was a rip on the top of the truck, temporarily fixed with aluminum tape and customer has accepted and waived water damage coverage. This is completley false. I never was informed of the defect nor was I given the opportunity to waive any coverage. In addition, I gave her my credit card not to charge the days rental but to have on file for any back end charges. I knew I would be going over on mileage and I knew I was taking the truck back to a very busy location and did not want to get stuck waiting in line. When I returned the truck, there was a charge for mileage overage but due to the clerk at the pick up location not properly entering my credit card information, I was forced to stand in line and wait for 30 minutes to pay the $15.00 which I could have paid when the truck was inspected and saved the 30 minutes.
Trailer had no landing gear to remove it safely from vehicle and we were never given an option for locking it
The website seemed to be a bit of a problem to navigate by the store employee. I am pleased with the personal service provided by the WY Agway employees. I had never towed a trailer this large before, but I quickly became accustomed to the weight and size. The 6 x 12 enclosed trailer was perfect for our needs and the price was very reasonable also.
Very pleasant staff and the rental return was handled as I got to shop in the store. (great idea!!!). Staff was very professional yet personable. Absolutely a wonderful experience.
My contact with the personnel was only over the phone. I arrived after hours but had no problem with the drop off as the information given over the phone was good and easy to follow.
Very friendly and helpful. My only concern was that I did not get notified that my reservation was confirmed. I called the day before, Sun. 7/27 at 1 pm to 1-800-UHaul to confirm myself. I needed this truck to move from York, PA to Atlanta, GA. I should have received a call to confirm 1 week ahead.

It Took 12 Trucks to Haul Away All the Cash This Corrupt Chinese General Hid in His Home
The Chinese government has been making a great show of cracking down on official corruption, and in the process, finding some truly mind-boggling stashes of bribery money. Today, the Financial Times reports this incredible tidbit:
When investigators searched the Beijing home of Xu Caihou, one of China's highest-ranking army generals, they found so much cash and precious gems they needed a week to count it all and 12 trucks to haul it away.
The cash was neatly stacked in boxes, each with the name of the soldier who had paid the bribe in exchange for promotion up the chain of command. Many of the boxes, each containing millions of renminbi, had never been opened, said people familiar with the case.
In total, the cash weighed over a ton, which according to the FT suggests it was worth at least $16 million. What's more, this is apparently not the largest cash hoard investigators have come across.
In May, investigators detained Wei Pengyuan, the deputy head of the National Energy Administration's coal department. It took 16 machines to count the more than Rmb200m he had stashed in his home, according to Xinhua, the official news agency. Four of the machines reportedly burnt out due to the workload.
It's possible that these corruption charges are being trumped up or exaggerated by the Chinese government for public-relations purposes. But if the stories are true, Chinese officials are managing to execute acts of official corruption on a scale and with a degree of meticulousness that crooked American pols haven't been able to pull off in a long, long time. Just think: In the United States, everybody got excited when FBI agents found $90,000 stored in Congressman William Jefferson's freezer. Why, that'd barely be low-level-bureaucrat bribe money these days in China.
How Not to Disrupt Women's Bodies
There is, you may have recently read, a new biobro startup project in Silicon Valley. It's called Sweet Peach. (Not a Snapple flavor.) Its mission, apparently hatched by a couple of 11-year-old boys still in the "ew, girl cooties" stage, is to make sure women's vaginas smell "pleasant."
I have so many questions about this!
Why would the people behind this idea—male biotech founders Austen Heinz and Gilad Gome—fix on "feminine odor" as a pressing problem to solve? What terrible smells must these men have been exposed to, in their intrepid startup bro-ing, to make them devote their serious intellectual heft to solving this very important problem? How many women did they consult in their extremely selfless quest to fix gross vaginas?
And, perhaps most important for any straight women they hope to convert into customers (if indeed any such women exist): When will Sweet Peach turn its attention to the problem of male odor and stinky manly genitalia? Will Sweet Peach be followed by Rugged Mist or Leather Smoke?
Sadly, that last question is the only one I actually know the answer to, after reading my colleague Jeff Bercovici's interview with Messrs. Heinz and Gome. Smelly testicles don't appear to be a priority; the next item on their agenda is a probiotic to make cat and dog feces "smell like bananas."
Yep, you read that correctly: These dudes rank women's bodies up there with pet poop.
I think my favorite part of this pitch is the attempt to position Sweet Peach as "personal empowerment" for women. It's a great marketing line; it's just not very original. Since time immemorial, beauty and feminine hygiene companies have used the promise of personal empowerment to help sell equally reprehensible, if much more subtle, campaigns based around negging women and then offering the solution to all of their bodily imperfections. Or smells. Especially smells. Poor Sweet Peach, trying to put a "probiotic supplement" gloss on what's essentially the boring old douche market. (Pun intended; indeed unavoidable.)
So I'm not particularly surprised by Sweet Peach or its creators' stupendous obliviousness. They're startup bros, after all, pitching their product to a likeminded audience, during a year and in a particular week when the noise surrounding Silicon Valley's respect issues concerning women's bodies is almost deafening.
I still wonder: Who is giving these men the time of day? Why on earth would the DEMO conference (tagline: "New tech solving big problems") consider the issue of women's bodies—which are, as if this needs to be said, not grosser than any other humans' bodies, and which are possessed by 51 percent of the U.S. population—a "big problem" to solve? Who's giving these men advice or approval of their quest to solve this nonproblem? And, to borrow a line from an adjacent issue, can they please keep their peachy bullshit far, far away from my uterus?
Pizza Hut Asked a Bunch of Old Italian People to Judge Its Pizza
Pizza Hut has just started a major rebranding effort. Headlined the "Flavor of Now," the campaign aims to give a much-needed boost to Pizza Hut's U.S. business by wooing customers with dozens of new pizza options. Why have plain crust when you can make that toasted Asiago? Pepperoni is so boring—how about spinach and a drizzle of honey sriracha sauce?
As part of its marketing push, Pizza Hut has rolled out a series of ads by creative agency Deutsch L.A., the same firm that put together those memorable Ronald McDonald ads for Taco Bell. For the new ads, Pizza Hut is taking its new menu all over—to a bingo night in Boring, Maryland; a softball game in Bland, Missouri; and even to Sorrento, Italy.* (And yes, Boring and Bland are real places.)
The best of the lot is probably the one set in Sorrento, where we watch as a bunch of older Italian people express shock, indignation, and just plain confusion at a variety of Pizza Hut's new pizza offerings. The group also tests out "other new world" things, like mobile ordering, jeggings, and EDM. "Participants were paid, but still don't like change," the ad notes in tiny white text.
Sure, Pizza Hut is poking a bit of fun at these people, but it's also poking some fun at itself. Pizza Hut knows it's not offering a gourmet product here, and it's nice to see it embrace that. Then again, Pizza Hut isn't going all out on the honesty. When Domino's launched its own turnaround campaign a few years back, it decided to come completely clean. It admitted Domino's pizza was terrible.
*Correction, Nov. 21, 2014: This post originally implied that Deutsch handled Pizza Hut campaigns in Boring, Bland, and Sorrento. Deutsch is neither that boring nor that bland, and only did the Sorrento ad.
Uh-Oh: Administration Overcounted Obamacare Enrollees by 380,000
The Obama administration has acknowledged that it overcounted the number of Americans currently enrolled in health insurance purchased through the Affordable Care Act's online exchanges, Bloomberg reports today. Earlier this month, Department of Health and Human Services announced that 7.1 million individuals were still paying for coverage they bought on the marketplaces last year, down from the 8 million who originally signed up. However, that number included 380,000 people who only bought dental plans. The actual number of Obamacare health-insurance enrollees was closer to 6.7 million.
"A mistake was made in calculating the number of individuals with effectuated Marketplace enrollments," HHS spokesman Kevin Griffis told Bloomberg. "Individuals who had both Marketplace medical and dental coverage were erroneously counted in our recent announcements."
The error was first uncovered by the Republican-led House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and conservatives are, of course, having a field day with the discovery. Obamacare opponents have long argued that while the program beat expectations early on by signing up more than 7 million individuals for coverage, many customers simply wouldn't pay for their plans. Now, they have a bit of vindication on that front, as well as just enough evidence to accuse the White House of a cover-up. Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa—who the last time you heard from him was probably ranting and raving about Benghazi—called today's revelations evidence of "concerted effort to obscure a heavy dropout rate" on the exchanges.
Two points to make here: First, 380,000 sounds like a large number, and it did conveniently push Obamacare's enrollment figures over the Congressional Budget Office's projection of 7 million sign-ups. However, 380,000 also only amounts to 5.6 percent of the real tally, and the 7 million figure was never particularly meaningful to begin with (nothing particularly magical happened if Obamacare reached that milestone, and nothing tragic will happen because the program missed it). And, as Charles Gaba of ACASignups.net told Bloomberg, even with the lower total, Obamacare's attrition rate was still in line with what experts like him predicted. This new news shouldn't especially change anybody's opinion about whether the exchanges have succeeded or not.
On the other hand, this certainly doesn't look good for the administration politically. This seems more like garden-variety incompetence than anything. But that won't stop the GOP from crowing about a conspiracy to make Obamacare look more successful than they think it is.
Man Hit With $1,142 in Wi-Fi Overage Charges on Flight From London to Singapore
Last week, Jeremy Gutsche flew from London to Singapore on Singapore Airlines. He purchased a 30 MB in-air Internet package for $28.99. When he deplaned, he was shocked to learn he'd been hit with an additional $1,142.47 in overage charges.
Gutsche, the chief executive of Trend Hunter, a self-described "popular trend community" website, says he racked up a terrifying $1,171.46 bill for in-flight Wi-Fi from provider OnAir. In an initial post on Trend Hunter, Gutsche wrote that he used data to upload a 4 MB PowerPoint and make "155 page views, mostly to my email." He says video, the typical culprit in over-the-top data bills, didn't even play a role—"the Singapore Airlines internet was painfully slow, so videos would be impossible."
Singapore Airlines initially contacted OnAir on Gutsche's behalf but said this week that he would have to pay the full amount. And while there are plenty of horror stories about companies—especially mobile carriers—abusing customers' data charges, Gutsche hasn't elicited much sympathy on this one so far.
OnAir told the Wall Street Journal in a statement that its service terms are "entirely transparent." To use the amount of data that Gutsche consumed, OnAir said, "takes much more than basic email viewing, for example downloading heavy attachments, cloud access and using Skype." (For an easy comparison, a Gmail attachment can be up to 25 MB.) More importantly, OnAir said that a graph constantly shows passengers how much data they've consumed and that those users can choose for their sessions to end at a preset price limit, and/or disconnect at any time.
Gutsche told the Journal he wasn't buying the "buyer beware" argument. "Just because someone agrees to terms and conditions doesn't mean those terms are ethical," he said. "I think the overage model is excessive." Perhaps. But in that case, maybe he shouldn't have risked it in the first place.
Which Industries Are the Most Liberal and Most Conservative?
Are movie moguls and media types really the liberal boogeymen of conservative lore?
Whenever Americans donate more than $200 to a political action committee or federal candidate, they are legally required to file a public disclosure form that, among other details, lists their occupation and employer. States have similar requirements. For several years now, Stanford University political science professor Adam Bonica has been using that data to cleverly chart out the ideological leanings of different U.S. industries. His work will probably confirm whatever stereotypes you've ever harbored about Hollywood limousine liberals or arch-conservative oil men.
To oversimplify just a bit, Bonica measures how far industries skew to the left or right by looking at the where the candidates they back sit on the ideological spectrum, based on legislative voting records. So a business full of people who give money to lefty politicians, like Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, will register as more liberal than a business that gives to a relative moderate, like Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, even though they're both Democrats.
So, how do industries shape up? A bit like you'd expect. The graphs below, from a 2013 paper Bonica published in the American Journal of Political Science, show how industries lean based on the number of donors giving to candidates on each point of the ideological map. Academia, entertainment, media, tech, and law really do skew to the left. Real estate, banking, mining, construction, farming, and the fossil fuel industries love the right. The pharmaceutical industry, meanwhile, has a bit of a split personality.
The picture changes a bit when Bonica breaks down industries into smaller sectors and assesses them by the amount of money given, instead of the total number of donors. Take this graph, from a 2010 blog post. Venture capitalists, hedge funders, and investment bankers tended to fall on the moderate left. But insurance companies were solidly on the right. Corporate lawyers were on the far left, but gave relatively little. Trial lawyers were on the far left, but cut massive checks. Lobbyists, predictably, straddled the middle. They know to play both sides.
"Typical Starting Salary" Is Terrible Way to Choose a College
I'm on record arguing that it's a good idea to rank colleges, and hold them accountable, for what their students earn after graduation. But salary data can be tricky to interpret in a useful way. And this week, in a piece titled, "Where to Go to College if You Want the Highest Starting Salary," the Washington Post offered up an excellent example of exactly how not to do it.
Using salary data collected by the website Payscale, Roberto Ferdman breaks out the 25 schools that produce the best-paid grads during the early years of their careers. This is not a particularly useful bit of information. First, early-career salary probably isn't as important as what grads make later on in their lives. Second, most of the schools rank highly on the list because they're heavy on engineering students (or produce military officers), who tend to earn solid salaries out of the gate. I've reproduced the list below, with schools that Payscale says emphasize engineering in orange, and the rest in blue.
Surveying these results, Ferdman concludes that "the nation's most elite universities—which rank highly on U.S. News and World Report's college rankings list—aren't necessarily places to go if you want the best starting salary out of school."
That's not really correct. If you were actually interested in studying engineering, most of the schools up above would not be among your top choices, based solely on starting salaries (more on that in moment). As shown on the color-coded graph below, of the 18 engineering-heavy schools that made the Post's top 25, only seven also rank in the top 25 for the salaries that their engineering grads earn.
So who ranks highly on that list? Surprise: It's Ivy League universities like Columbia, Cornell, and the University of Pennsylvania, along with other highly ranked schools such as Northwestern, Johns Hopkins University, Rice, the University of California–Berkeley, and the University of Michigan. Sometimes, the conventional wisdom is pretty much right.1
I'm not pointing this out just to nitpick the work of Ferdman, who typically writes great stuff. Rather, I think it's an illustration of why it's difficult to suss out which schools are really a good value based on post-graduation pay. It depends on the mix of majors at the school. It depends on the socio-economic background of the students. And it depends on whether you look purely at salary, or at salary compared with the cost of tuition and the average debt kids take on. Even if it's worth comparing schools this way, its easy to get it wrong.
Footnote1: As an aside, I don't know whether I entirely believe Payscale's rankings, which are submitted by the site's users and thus suffer from some self-selection bias.
Premed Students Might Be Flying to Guam Just to Take the MCAT
Big changes are coming to the Medical College Admission Test, or MCAT, in 2015. Starting next spring, the MCAT will be overhauled for the first time since 1991. The revised exam will add sections on the social and behavioral sciences as well as more critical analysis and reasoning. The new, more "holistic" test is expected to take six and a half hours, as compared with its current four and a half.
Suffice it to say, current premed students aren't too happy. And those who can are rushing to take (or retake) the old exam before it goes away forever at the end of January. For some of them, that's meant considering extreme steps just to book an available seat—like flying to Guam.
@AAMC_MCAT Will the demand be so high that the seats will be gone in the first minute of opening? Really don't want to take the MCAT in Guam— Mitchell Liao (@Mitchliao) October 21, 2014
@AAMC_MCAT I don't care if the test is in Guam or Siberia, I NEED TO TAKE IT— John k (@Jkalo55) November 11, 2014
I suddenly feel a little sick to my stomach. There isn't a single MCAT exam date available in December or January. Unless I fly to Guam.— ~rice cooker~ (@awkwardnoodles) October 27, 2014
In recent months, multiple forums for premed students have been dedicated to precisely this topic: whether flying to Guam is a worthwhile price to pay for taking the current MCAT exam. Guam is offering the test five times in January; the cheapest flights there are 20 to 30 hours long each way and, from New York, appear to be going for between $1,000 and $2,000 round trip.
Before writing this off as completely crazy, consider that for many premeds, preparing for the revised exam could mean taking extra classes and credits. Those cost money, too. Gary Chen, a junior at Texas A&M, told me earlier this month that it's been "almost impossible" to find a testing location because of the rush to take the outgoing exam. He's booked a flight from Houston to Des Moines, Iowa, to sit for the MCAT and knows other people who are heading to Canada. Chen says he considered Guam but checked the flights and thought they were "a bit too expensive."
Karen Mitchell, senior director of the admissions testing services at the Association of American Medical Colleges, which administers the MCAT, says there are already 50,000 extra tests being offered this year (and in January) over eight additional testing dates. In a typical year, 100,000 tests are given over 28 testing dates. When the AAMC added more than 1,000 new MCAT seats in cities including New York and Boston last week (Michell declined to specify exactly how many), they booked up in a matter of days. She wouldn't comment on whether Guam is seeing increased demand for the test—historical data on that sort of thing is for "planning purposes" only—but said most testing centers are more booked than normal.
From the looks of it, though, that 20-hour flight is only going to get more appealing. The MCAT tweeted on Nov. 12 that no additional dates or seats for the old exam would be added. As of now, Guam still has some spots.
It's Not Your Imagination: Online Stores Do Change Prices
Reprinted from
You get the same sneaking suspicion every time you book a hotel or rent a car online: With each search, it seems the prices change, and you can't help but wonder if sites are changing prices for you in particular.
Well, they are—at least in some ways.
A team of researchers at Northeastern University recently analyzed how e-commerce sites tailor prices to specific shoppers based on their digital habits and demographics, such as their ZIP code. According to the study, presented last week at the Internet Measurement Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, major e-commerce sites including Home Depot, Walmart, and Hotels.com list online prices that are all over the map, and in some cases, these prices are "personalized" to the behavior of particular shoppers, including whether they shop on a phone or on a desktop.
"Going into this, we assumed the project would be risky—that we might not find anything," says Christo Wilson, an assistant professor of computer science at Northeastern and one of the study's authors. "There have been incidents in the past where companies have been caught doing this, and the PR was very bad. We thought that sites wouldn't be doing anything. We were more surprised that we found something."
According to some companies whose sites were analyzed by the study, its methodology was flawed—and the researchers have admitted to one mistake in the way they handled things. But the study still provides a window into how your shopping experience can change depending how you behave.
Mobile Matters
The researchers recruited 300 people through the crowdsourcing site Mechanical Turk and had them perform product searches on 16 top e-commerce sites. Specifically, the study tested for personalization based on browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari), operating system (Windows, OS X, iOS, Android), and whether or not a user was logged into his or her online account.
As each person ran the searches—with long browsing histories attached to identifying "cookies" on their machines—an automatic, cookie-less simulated browser ran the same searches at exactly the same time. This, says Wilson, ensured that price differences couldn't be chalked up to "noise" or variations in timing that might reflect an inventory change or other quirk of the system.
If you shop using your smartphone, the study claims, some e-commerce sites pay attention to what kind of phone you use. Home Depot and Travelocity—whose sites were targeted by the study—deny that they do this, and Travelocity pointed out a flaw in the study's methodology, which the researchers have since admitted to.
But Travelocity did acknowledge that there are often a handful of mobile-only offerings on smartphones and tablets that don't show on desktop search results. The tactic is used as incentive for users to download the mobile app. Results aren't cheaper by design, a company representative tells Wired, but they sometimes are, since Travelocity smartphone users might be looking for a place to stay last-minute.
These results appear to bring down the average price for mobile results, the representative explains. But the company claims the pricing for the same specific properties remain constant across platforms.
Cookies Aren't Always Bad
There were also times when Wilson and his fellow researchers were able to see other forms of price discrimination on some websites but were unable to get to the root cause of that price variation—notably, on Sears and rental car websites. "We tried different browsers and different platforms. We tried logging in and logging out," Wilson says. "But it looks like there's something else in there that we haven't figured out yet."
The researchers also say that cookies aren't always a bad thing. Wilson explains that on sites like Cheaptickets or Orbitz, users who are logged in will often see "members only" prices that can save them an average of $12 on hotels. But if buyers cleared their cookies before conducting the search, they wouldn't be logged in and wouldn't see that discount.
One conscious decision Wilson and his colleagues made while executing the research was to avoid Amazon and eBay. Both those venues are online marketplaces, Wilson explains, and sellers putting up their own products—plus used items getting listed on the site—made things too complicated.
The Race to the Bottom
So how do you get the best offer for your money? There's no one-size-fits-all solution, according to Wilson. "Every site we looked at was doing something different—changing different things based on different information," he says.
The best advice he can offer is to run searches on all platforms you have access to, if you're willing to put in the time. That means your regular browser, an incognito browser, and your smartphone or tablet. Then, if you want to be extra thorough, ask a friend or relative in a different ZIP code to do the same thing and see what results turn up.
This tedious shopping is a far cry from the familiar system of clearly marked prices and coupons at brick-and-mortar stores, but it's all part of digital-age living. We have no choice but to get used to it. "All online retailers are watching each other, and it's a race to the bottom," says Wilson. "The only thing that changes between online stores and brick-and-mortar stores is the pace at which that happens. It's faster online."
More from Wired:
Maybe Pabst Wasn't Bought by Russians
Back in September, a number of reputable news outlets reported that a group of investors fronted by a Russian beer and soft drinks company, Oasis Beverages, was buying Pabst Blue Ribbon. This led to lots of joking from bloggers—me included—about how a brand that once traded on its blue-collar, all-American image to entice scenesters in Brooklyn, Portland, and beyond before becoming a bit passé was now officially owned by our geopolitical archrivals.
But perhaps it was all just a great misunderstanding? Bloomberg and the New York Times report that Oasis Beverages was not, in fact, involved in the deal. Rather, Oasis chairman Eugene Kashper, an American citizen, and the San Francisco–based private equity firm TSG Consumer Partners, formed a new company called Blue Ribbon Intermediate Holdings to purchase the brewer. Meanwhile, Kashper resigned from Oasis in November to take the helm at Pabst, according to Bloomberg.
This is all a bit strange. The initial press release announcing the deal very clearly stated that "Oasis Beverages has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Pabst Brewing Company." I, for one, have never heard of a press release for an M&A deal that announced the wrong buyer, and so far, nobody has explained what went wrong. The Times tries to fill in where some of the confusion might have come from:
Mr. Kashper was discussing a distribution agreement with Oasis that would introduce Pabst to the Russian and Eastern European markets. There were also discussions about selling Oasis a minority nonvoting stake in Pabst.
Those talks broke down because of market conditions—namely the fact that Western nations are imposing sanctions on Russia in response to its aggression in Ukraine, making this an inopportune time to introduce a distinctly American beer. And Oasis was never in talks to acquire Pabst outright.
In the end, this might all be something of a distinction without much of a difference. As the New York Post wrote in its own September story about how Pabst wasn't really falling into Russian hands, Kashper was brought to the United States at age 6 when his Jewish parents fled the Soviet Union. He founded Oasis, which lists its address in Cyprus (a favorite tax haven for Russian oligarchs) in 2008, and the company does business in Russia, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Belarus. But he says he has lived in New York City for the past dozen years. So Pabst is now run and partly owned by a Russian-American businessman who presumably made a lot of money brewing and distributing beer in a very corrupt part of the world.
Also, it doesn't really matter. Pabst is still barely acceptable beer that most of us will continue to drink if it happens to be that absolute cheapest swill available at the bar.

Andre the Giant
Real Name
Andre Roussimoff
Date of Birth
May 19, 1946
Place of Birth
Rumors are heating up that the Rock might make an appearance tonight on Monday Night Raw. The speculations were fueled when it was discovered that the former world heavyweight champion was in New York City right now. WWE is holding their live event tonight in nearby Brooklyn. The belief is that he will not be showing up because management would have advertised the appearance ahead of time to increase ratings.
October 6, 2014
When the decision was made between TNA and Spike to move Impact Wrestling to Wednesday nights instead of Thursday, both sides were aware that it might take some fans time to get used to that. As expected, the ratings dropped initially. However, Dixie Carter and company have been slowly turning things around, and a lot of the viewers are now aware that they are on a different day.
September 19, 2014
Since WWE wants to make this is a big edition of Monday Night Raw, the company has enlisted the help of Hulk Hogan and friends to help spike the ratings. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash have already been confirmed for an appearance, and there are talks that an nWo reunion could be taking place. Another person from Hogan's past has now been added as well. Paul Orndorff is scheduled to make an appearance tonight.
August 11, 2014
The white and black is headed back to WWE next week when Monday Night Raw comes to us live from Portland. Hulk Hogan will be celebrating his birthday on air, and he has a couple of buddies coming back to join him. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash have reportedly been confirmed for the event, and the belief is that WWE will be doing some sort of nWo reunion to boost television ratings.
August 6, 2014
TNA is really hoping to spike the ratings for Impact Wrestling this week. The company has already filmed footage of Bully Ray putting Dixie Carter through a table, and they're using that to draw in viewers. The company has even released a public statement, calling August 7th, "National Put Your Boss Through A Table Day". The belief is that TNA is trying to convince Spike to give them a new television deal.
August 4, 2014
Some more bad news for Vince McMahon. It has now been revealed that WWE has lost their television deal with NT1. The two companies have been doing business for approximately eight years now. NT1 has decided to drop WWE from their programming due to declining ratings. McMahon still has his deals with cable and satellite companies in France, but there are fears that those deals could be dropped as well.
June 14, 2014
Rumors going around is that WWE decided to do a heel turn for Seth Rollins at the last minute because they wanted to generate some hype and spike up the television ratings. If that's the case, then management is sure to be disappointed because Monday Night Raw actually lost some viewers this week. It wasn't a big loss, but many were expecting a huge increase.
June 11, 2014
Reports are surfacing now that Vince McMahon made the decision to do a heel turn with Seth Rollins on Sunday afternoon, shortly before Payback 2014. The belief is that he pulled the trigger on the move as a response to the low ratings that Monday Night Raw has received over the last couple of weeks. WWE is hoping that this provides a quick boost to the numbers.
June 5, 2014
The belief backstage in WWE is that the company is setting things up to where there will be an episode of Total Divas that will be centered around the wedding of John Cena and Nikki Bella. No word on whether they are getting married in real life or not, but the belief is that they can spike the television ratings by doing that on Total Divas.
April 3, 2014
In Memphis, WWE did a segment on Monday Night Raw where Triple H finally caved in and gave Daniel Bryan what he wanted at Wrestlemania 30. That was unanimously praised by fans online immediately afterwards. However, that crowd pleasing moment did not translate to the ratings, as the numbers for this week has continued to go down.
March 20, 2014
While WWE will attempt to come up with ways to change the course of the television ratings drop for Total Divas, Vince McMahon and company still have a lot of faith in the series. A good amount of fans went online last year to search for full episodes of Total Divas, which leads many in WWE to believe that some people simply did not get a chance to tune in.
March 18, 2014
Since the show has become one of the main focal points for the entire company, WWE officials are extremely disappointed that the ratings for the season premiere of Total Divas were among the lowest that they have seen for a first run episode. It failed to crack the top 100 for Sunday night. Vince McMahon could order his company to do more promotions on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown to help.
March 18, 2014
During a recent interview, Buff Bagwell stated that nothing can save TNA at this point. He also made sure to mention that he was not upset with the company for refusing to hire him. Bagwell questions Dixie Carter and her decision to not bring in bigger names, including himself, to help increase the ratings. Interestingly enough, he stated that even the Rock could not save TNA.
March 10, 2014
An interesting stat about the WWE Network has surfaced this week. Vince McMahon decided to air WWE Main Event live on his new subscription service, yet ratings for when the episode aired on ION actually increased from the week before, leading many within the company to believe that fans might prefer to watch things on television instead.
March 7, 2014
Despite all the hype about a potential return by CM Punk, ratings for Monday Night Raw surprisingly dropped this week. Vince McMahon was hoping that the ratings would have remained strong after an episode in which Hulk Hogan, Brock Lesnar and Undertaker all made a special appearance for WWE to promote both the WWE Network and Wrestlemania 30.
March 5, 2014
I've said for years even when I was with WWE that I want TNA to do well, I never saw TNA as the enemy � that would be ridiculous, I love professional wrestling. Part of the reason why I chose to go to TNA was because it's not good for the fans or for the industry when there is just one conglomerate and nowhere else to go. The most prosperous and entertaining time in our business was during the Monday Night Wars � you had two companies that were fairly evenly matched, both with top tier stars, and they were battling with each other for ratings. That meant everything had to be fresh, everything had to be edgy and everyone really had to rack their brain to come up with exciting storylines, all of the guys had to work really hard and there were 12 million people a week tuning into wrestling. Now there is less than half that, if you're in the wrestling industry now in the States there are only two places to go centrally, WWE or TNA. I would like to try and help facilitate, creating a situation where the WWE has to recognize TNA as a potential competitor and if you know like I do, WWE holds all the marbles then for the artists, the talent it's not good for our business, competition is good for business." - MVP discusses competition within the business
February 22, 2014
Since Sting is not signed to a contract yet, it appears that WWE is now considering Hulk Hogan for the role of on screen general manager. The company feels that he is still a draw and believes that he can help boost ratings on Monday Night Raw. Management wants someone to counter Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
February 22, 2014
While some backstage, including Vince McMahon himself, were said to be concerned that the Olympics would affect the ratings for Monday Night Raw, WWE managed to maintain a firm grip on their viewers this week. Numbers actually went up slightly, despite NBC drawing in 22.4 million viewers to the global sports competition.
February 12, 2014
The expectation was that ratings for Monday Night Raw would rise this week because fans would tune in to see if CM Punk would make his return or not. However, the opposite took place. WWE saw a 12 percent drop in viewership, which has to be a bit alarming since it is the time period between the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania 30.
February 4, 2014
When Batista made his return on Monday Night Raw, WWE officials were said to be rather upset with the lackluster reaction from the audience. However, management then saw the television ratings for the segment and placed the blame on the Dayton crowd instead.
February 1, 2014
"He's definitely a legendary guy that deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, I'm glad he got to go in when he was still alive. I always respected him as a performer, some of his matches were pretty quick I remember he came in the Winnipeg arena once and beat Andre the Giant in 30 seconds, at the time I was like, 'What a rip off! That sucks.' But I remember Wrestlemania 6 where he had a classic with Hulk Hogan, much like a lot of guys from that time period he had good matches when he had the right opponent." - Chris Jericho on Ultimate Warrior as a performer
April 29, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw, where Hulk Hogan presents the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal award to Antonio Cesaro. This was the segment where Cesaro informs Zeb Colter that he is now a Paul Heyman guy, which prompts an attack from former tag team partner Jack Swagger.
April 10, 2014
Amid conflicting rumors about his availability and health, Christian actually ended up missing Wrestlemania 30 last night. The former world heavyweight champion was supposed to work the Andre the Giant battle royal, but was removed at the last minute because doctors could not clear him from the concussion that he sustained last month.
April 7, 2014
Several WWE stars stepped into the ring to try to win the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at Wrestlemania 30. Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus both made it to to the final four, but they ended up eliminating one another. Antonio Cesaro captured the trophy by incredibly lifting up the Big Show for a body slam and tossing him over the top rope.
April 6, 2014
According to online betting websites, Alexander Rusev is the heavy favorite to win the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at Wrestlemania 30. WWE officials have been trying to think of a way to make his debut strong, and this could be how they kick start his push. Expect him to be featured on Monday Night Raw, where he might finally have a match.
April 6, 2014
Despite not being utilized all that frequently on television, Justin Gabriel was given a spot in the Andre the Giant match at Wrestlemania 30. The belief is that WWE is rewarding him for not making a big fuss about being removed from Royal Rumble 2014 at the last minute. Management likes that he does as he is told backstage.
April 6, 2014
Last year, WWE unveiled an Andre the Giant statue, which impressed a lot of fans and wrestlers alike, and it looks like the company might be making it an annual thing. At an Axxess event during Wrestlemania 30 week, Triple H unveiled a new Bruno Sammartino statue. The legendary former world champion was there in attendance as well.
April 5, 2014
As management is still trying to finalize the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal, there were rumors backstage that Ricardo Rodriguez was a candidate to work the match at Wrestlemania 30. However, it appears that WWE has moved away from that. Not only is Rodriguez being utilized as a commentator instead, the company also added Brad Maddox, an on screen character, to the match.
April 4, 2014
There is still a strong push within WWE to add Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal match, as many feel that they have done a good job throughout the past several months. However, some in management feel that being involved in the match with John Cena and Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 30 is enough of a reward for them.
April 4, 2014
While the company may be promoting the fact that anyone can win the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at Wrestlemania 30, WWE officials really only have a small number of candidates for the role. Guys like Dolph Ziggler and Christian, despite being former world heavyweight champions, really do not stand much of a chance of walking away with the trophy.
April 4, 2014
Since management still is trying to figure out a way to get the WWE NXT guys involved at Wrestlemania 30, there is a chance that Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville could be given one of the three remaining spots in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at the pay per view on Sunday. Rob Van Dam is a strong candidate to take a spot as well.
April 3, 2014
A video of the greatest moments in Wrestlemania history as portrayed in the WWE 2K14 video game. One of the featured spots, as expected, is when Hulk Hogan body slams Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania 3.
April 3, 2014
"Right now the Big Show or Big E. Langston have a good chance to win it. But if something crazy happens like Sting or Ultimate Warrior show up, anything could happen." - Hulk Hogan teasing fans about a shocking appearance at Wrestlemania 30 during the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal
April 3, 2014
A video of the wild brawl that took place when Roddy Piper hosted his Piper's Pit segment on Monday Night Raw. The segment featured several WWE performers, including Big Show, Rey Mysterio, Miz, Sheamus and others who are set to compete in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at Wrestlemania 30.
April 2, 2014
"The first day he came in that I met him. He came up to me, I said 'Hello sir, I'm Daniel Bryan' and he says, 'Yeah I know who you are. The 'Yes!' thing is awesome.' The little kid in you is saying 'Holy cow! Hulk Hogan just said I'm awesome!' So that's pretty cool. But I haven't talked to him much beyond that. I would actually be interested to just listen to his stories. He has been around for some of the biggest moments in wrestling history. I'd love to ask him about WrestleMania III. That is an iconic moment, not just in wrestling, but in all entertainment � Hulk Hogan slamming Andre the Giant. I'd love to ask about Rocky III! All the kind of stuff. Little things that you always wanted to know." - Daniel Bryan on meeting Hulk Hogan backstage
April 2, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, Wade Barrett is not currently scheduled to work a match at Wrestlemania 30, despite being given television time over the last several weeks. There is a chance that he might receive one of the final three spots in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal if WWE is unable to find others to fill the role.
April 1, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Rob Van Dam might be one of the surprise entrants in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at Wrestlemania 30. He and WWE have been trying to figure out a way for him to make his return, and when this match was announced, it opened the possibility of him returning sooner than expected.
April 1, 2014
In a move that was not expected whatsoever, Brad Maddox announced on the Monday Night Raw kickoff show that he will be wrestling at Wrestlemania 30. The on screen character, who was actually trained as an in ring performer, will be one of the contestants in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal on the pay per view.
March 31, 2014
Since management has been unable to figure out a way for him to make his long awaited return, there are now rumors that Evan Bourne could be one of the guys to take the four remaining spots in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at Wrestlemania 30. The high flying performer was initially scheduled for Royal Rumble 2014, but WWE pulled him from the big match.
March 27, 2014
While he has been training especially hard over the last couple of months to make it happen, it is being said that the biggest reason why Brodus Clay is being given a match at Wrestlemania 30, where he will be a participant in the Andre the Giant battle royal, is because of his involvement in the new Scooby Doo movie that WWE is promoting.
