I think Big Show would be dead by now had he not have had surgery. He's a lucky man that he was diagnosed & was taken care of.

Yeah, those 2 got a small reaction that's for sure.

Absolutely. If it wasn't for you & others here I'd have never heard of Kenny Omega.

My wife has a great job with the Tom Baker Cancer Centre here in Calgary. I also work here. One of my 2 sons was born here. The other one is married & they live here My other son is getting married this summer & will be living in Seattle. Short 12 hour drive to the Emerald City or a bit over an hour by air. My teams are the Jets & Bombers but our lives are in Calgary.

Don't you think the name of the place should be the RedBlack Club? Oh wait. Just sayin'. The CFL has 9 teams. It used to be that there were two teams named Roughriders or Rough Riders just with different spelling. People used to think that was stupid. Now we have 9 separate team names . However, we have 2 teams with the same colours & virtually the same uniform design in Calgary & Ottawa. That only happens in the CFL. I have lived in Calgary nearly 30 years. I don't see the support for the Stamps that you claim there is. The City doesn't love the team. I see nothing but indifference. Kids don't wear Stamps jerseys to school. People don't wear Stampeder ball caps or tee shirts. At the water coolers, in offices & businesses around the city, the Stamps don't come up in conversations. Cars & trucks don't have as many white horse logos as there used to be 20 years ago. Nobody talks about the Stamps except how they choke & to be honest they certainly do a fine job of that. To the point that The Choke is expected now by Calgarians. The Flames really do suck so that explains the tepid reaction of the fans to the hockey team. The Flames owners don't care about the Stamps. They have no plans for a new stadium. I don't believe they ever had. The Mayor & City Council don't care about the Stamps. They won't spend a penny towards a new stadium. Season ticket sales are down. Casual fans stay home. Do fans here love the Stamps? More like a core of 24-26,000 in a city of 1.4 million. They are looked upon as chokers. A team with outstanding talent, great coaching & a respected GM but seemingly always falling short the last game of the season. So, 13-5, 14-4 & 15-3 mean nothing to football fans here if the Stamps can't win their very last game of the season. They've seen it too many times as The Choke is in. That's how I see it having lived here since 1990.

When Lyle Bauer was with the Stamps he started a fan forum here. When he left the Stamps were quick to cancel it permanently much to the chagrin of Calgary fans. They had at least 300 fans at the last one three years ago & it was a huge success. However, the Stamps Choke is always on year after year & they keep blowing playoff games & Grey Cups to inferior teams. The way I see it, the Stamps are out of touch with their shrinking fanbase. I don't think management wants to hear it in spades from disgruntled Stamps fans demanding answers. Easier to cancel, claim all is fine with the world & not be accountable to their fans.

Tyler was my facebook friend but we seldom, if ever talked. I followed his twitter account. I have other friends on facebook who knew him very well & are devaststed. So sad. RIP Tyler.

I only watch WWE. TNA I never watch. ROH if nothing else is on. As Sweep The Leg said, if Omega's name didn't come up here, I'd have never heard of him.

It's almost a guarantee. Reed did it to Hebert.

That's what I meant. His character is just recycling the garbage Rose did. Maybe instead of him feuding with a bunny, it'll be a goose. You're hardcore. As well as in the business. You have to look at the person who could take it or leave it as far as wrestling goes. It's not WWE so they don't follow. I missed the discussion above so I'm probably covering ground already discussed,

Better hope it doesn't inspire him to play even better.

No, I've watched Winnipeg crowds for decades. This was different. I think some fans still think of Dubnyk as an Oiler.

Why would the fans at the game mock Dubnyk? That's just stupid.

I think what gets to a lot of us is we've all been on buses with sports teams on the road. It could have been us or our kids.

Carmella is eye candy only. She is an awful wrestler.

I agree with Goalie. Unless you're a hardcore wrestling fan, people don't know who Omega is.

It's embarrassing to watch... Was the wrestler who did the same schtick before Jose called Adam Rose? He was THAT forgettable.

PWT described that match as a "disaster".

You called it? Man, that is indeed impressive. You do have your fingers on the pulse of the industry. Why aren't you working in Stamford, CT? No sense talking to you about it now as you called it but nobody else did. I don't get ppl who like to brag they're smarter than everybody else. Have a good night.

Yeah, that's a huge disappointment for fans. I'm sure a lot of the WWE Universe feel cheated. And the actual match went for 5 minutes.

She didn't look weak technically in the ring although she needs to get a lot more experience to be polished. To me, I think that they needed her to beat out Steph a lot easier than that. Stephanie is a rat. Not the greatest in the ring & virtually hated by all fans. People want to see her get her come uppance. The way it should have gone down was Hunter & Angle go at it for the majority of the match. Then Ronda comes in, dominates by giving her a beat down & defeats Stephanie in a couple of minutes. That's how I thought it should have ended. Did you see the reaction to the Bludgeon Brothers winning the Tag Team Championship? Like NO reaction. That is one tag team that no one wants to see.

They made Ronda look weak tonight. Barely beating Stephanie McMahon?? Not the greatest of debuts. Unless she really improves, I can't see her being able to do what Charlotte or Asuka can do in the ring. I expected her to wipe the mat with Stephanie. Didn't happen.

When they wouldn't recognize valid CFL contracts they lost me.

Sure was.

So, a couple of days ago I was going thru my twitter feed & it showed two pics of Shawn Michaels. One with long hair & the mullet he had at the back along with his receeding hair line. Another with a picture of him after getting the back cut off. One person tweeted: "The boyhood dream is over". I tweeted that Brett Hart should do the same thing. I follow Asuka on twitter & she agreed. Yesterday I got a private message from Asuka asking how I was & we had about a 20 minute chat. Yes, it was her actual twitter account. Told her I think she's great in the ring & was looking forward to her match with Charlotte which she thanked me. Anyway, thought that was both interesting & cool how she reached out so I'll be cheering for her tonight.
