The other night I was watching all sorts of interviews between Mean Gene and The Macho Man with my buddy, holy **** hilarious. I guess it's been a while since I watched any macho man footage but the guy was gold on the stick. If the guy wasn't on some crazy drugs at the time thenthey should have handed him an Oscar... or Emmy since it was on tv

interesting to see Binghams name on there, was he PR'd last year or just getting another crack again?

RE: Young people's interest IMO the NFL lacks "bad boy" super stars like it used to. My son for example despite playing football his whole life so far (as soon as he was old enough to play) has more interest in basketball these days and could talk my ear off about this team or that team and this player and that. IMO the NFL has gotten too stiff and when the only big headlines making the news in recent memory are kneeling during anthems your gonna lose some of the shine, and youth are mesmerized by shiny things.
If there's one thing Vince and Co may be good at is creating some superstars and may just be the trick to stability. It won't appeal to some such as the tradionalists, but if they wanna create fans for the long haul, its that youth that'll soon be the next wave of income earners

While he may not have been the first wrestler i associated with wrestling - being an 80s kid Hogan, Macho Man and The Ultimate Warrior were the cream off the crop, I would always hear that Bruno was like THE guy back in the day basically braking wrestling from a travelling sideshow to a sporting event as his title reign was so long people would fill madison square garden everytime just to see if that was gonna be the night he lost it. Cant say I ever watched him wrestle but I would have to say he gets some o the most if not the most accolades from anyone and everyone associated with wrestler past or present. I assume they will do something more extravagant to honour his legacy than others who've passed before him, probably change the WWE Hall of Fame name to something akin to the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling HoF but like Bruno Sammartino Sports Entertainment HoF

i was too young to remember the jets winning a round 1 the first time(s) around (I'd have been 2 -4 in 84-85 and 85-86 so this will be new territory for me. Better believe imma be downtown drunk AF on Fri to bask in the moment. Now if The Avs can do the unthinkable and upset... Holy **** would I ever love seeing a Jets/Avs more so then the preds. I think a series with Nashville win or lose is gonna be a grinder that may leave either team kinda winded and wounded heading into the west final vs Vegas or SJ.
Dont think I watched all the Preds/Jets games but werent they usually like 5-4 type games? I guess to be the best you gotta beat the best but I'm also a fan of upsets when it benefits our team. and an easy round 2 series would bode well for the big picture

Forget Roman, Drew McIntyre is the guy they should build around.
meh totally forgot about drew since he was on TNA. IMO he reminded me of a darker haired Big Cass. Nothing really standoutish about him other than him having like a foot on Ziggler. He did get a nice pop though when they attacked titus world wide. I guess rolling with the pop makes sense to put him more over the Reigns

Demski and lafrance must be able to handle KR/PR duties... add Fogg and I think we’re good
my guess would be LaFrance and Fogg as the 2 returners with demski an alternate. Demski will be looked up to be our starting NI receiver (at least one of them) so they aren't gonna gas him returning kicks constantly. That said I thought Demski was getting better at being a returner until he got hurt, even took one to the house iirc

TC may be a while away still but itd still be nice to get our FA deal(s) done at this point. Bomber staff should be focused on the combine and draft at this juncture not fluffing a guy we previously used a 1st over all on.

I'm guessing Jax's push is cooling off... watching her cry on monday was kinda the opposite reaction I'd expect of a monster heel. Have her trash everything in frustration and "snap" but tears just screams "I'm a loser". When Bliss was trying to console her I'd have had her lose it on her not just get into a woes me situation. But I understand the need to keep putting Asuka over until her streak comes to an end

New Cruiserweight Tag team title coming.
They should make a women’s tag team title.
was thinking the same thing, especially with the influx of NXT women on both shows. They could easily make 3-4 tag teams for each program and still have a few singles competitors for the womens title.
That said it got me thinking on monday about whatever happened to Awesome Kong? I know she got knocked up shortly after jumping from TNA to WWE so is she still on like mat leave or was her timing a piss off for WWE? IMO she was a lot better then Nia Jax as a monster heel

They think its cool. Same with those selfie style iPhone promos. Trying to look more like how kids communicate.
its horrible. Add that with a commercial that popped up in the middle of a match eating up a good portion of the screen and it's starting to look like how tv is portrayed in the future in the movie Idiocracy

been meaning to ask, is there a reason WWE has gone all sesame street with popping up words that wrestlers are saying? is it learn to read month or something?

Nakamura day gave me a chuckle
I think Rusev was about to break character too

It might be nonsense, but I've come to believe the reason for signing bonuses is to put money in the pocket of said player immediately as an act of goodwill from the club, usually because the player needs the money immediately vs waiting out till all the game cheques have been collected. I've come to also believe this is why a lot of players restructure their contracts along the way where they can get lump sum payments that offseason but either commit extra years or reneg to a slight over/under amount to their current deal, as the club is then able to use up remaining cap space from that year before heading into the next.
If this does apply then the $35K muamba got certainly would play a factor as he's already received a significant amount of money and barely over a month ago so the need for more immediately is either telling me the guy lives well beyond his means or is doing some bad stuff on his own time which would be a red flag for me

Just now, Floyd said:
Muamba will want a big signing bonus - probably $60k upfront... I doubt that many of these vets don't have off-season bonuses negotiated as well though
The riders already paid him $35K in Jan i think that may play into teams being reluctant on his signing bonus, might even be the hold up. I'm sure the base will be pretty good in his favor but the fact he's already gotten a paycheque so far this offseason might be working against him

did the bat splinter off into his eye? ive watched that clip a few times and can't see the chair clipping him at all

yeah that would be him. name escaped me but in googling his name i recognized his "claw mark tatty"

just watched an episode of IMPACT the other day (probably an old episode) that saw Lashley lose his title to some much smaller dude and Del Rio cutting a promo fora match in what im guessing is the impact version of the IC title. In watching that it got me thinking 1. Lashley would be a bunk pick up or the WWE. He's in good shape for his age but not getting any younger and the spear is such a lame finisher and 2. now that ifinally figured out the difference between smackdowns Riot Squad and Raws Absolution would that mean either Del Rio has to go to SD or would they cut ties with Paige as shes not much more then valet at this point due to that injury a little while ago?

Vader's greatest accomplishment was being on an episode of Boy Meets World

Unlike the Enzo thing not only was Coachman doing commentating yesterday but Cena also came out and high fived the guy makes me think this accusation is pretty weak vs they knew something went down with Enzo for a fact

Round 2 - Game 1: Jets @ Predators
in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Posted
only caught the 3rd period cuz of work but seemed like nashville was the bigger faster team. But as Don Cherry alluded to after the game was Winnipeg was the smarter team and played the game perfectly against them constantly flipping the puck up against the glass avoiding any kind of smash mouth type game
