  1. Yeah, the one guy vs HBK story has been told by multiple people and it has added credibility because only one guy was found responsible and had to pay the medical bills. There is no disputing other guys were involved in the overall situation (ie grabbing the Bulldog) For me, the only real mystery is why Waltman didn't get involved. Too scared? Too wasted? He's the only one who could really answer that.
  2. When I first met my wife years ago, she was still playing ringette and that was my 1st real exposure to the game. I was surprised at how much contact there was for a sport that didn't allow hitting. It definitely changed my perception of the game and I'm not at all shocked that there could be a fairly high concussion rate.

  5. He's a moron, plain & simple. His using the ficticious example of Brock vs Rhonda as proof that inter-gender matches aren't realistic is absolutely idiotic. It's no more unrealistic than a guy like Elsworth taking on Strowman (which did happen). For what he's saying to be true, you have to completely ignore the millions of completely ridiculous things that have happened in wrestling history. News flash for Drake, nobody actually gave birth to a hand, the Undertaker isn't really dead, Kane isn't his brother and his face isn't burnt. But I guess it's still real for him damn it!
  6. Looks like Ottawa is going to give Montreal some competition for the East basement this year. Their offense was going to be shaky to begin with, given the players they lost and now they lose their OC late in the off-season.
  7. He's already announced that he was negotiating with them but they hadn't reached a deal (as of a week or two ago anyway). I'm not sure it gets announced tomorrow (I could see them waiting until they have a TV deal to announce or using BTE to break the news) but I fully expect him to be working there.
  8. Agreed that 60 minutes was definitely not anywhere near long enough to come close cover everything. His story is still being written though so maybe one day they'll be able to do a part two. Loved the AJ footage, especially his dig at the WWE! My wife's favorite part was getting some screen time at end when they were showing stuff from Kenny's birthday! 😂
  9. The Kenny doc on tsn was a great watch. Really looking forward to Saturday now!
  10. I definitely wasn't thinking the Bucks were coming (a bigger venue would be needed for that kind of show!) I was thinking more like this kind of Impact since there is a bit of a score to settle after Kenny's birthday!
  11. Hopefully not a repeat of Top Cock! 🤣

    We'll see if this retirement lasts longer than his last one. He has the money (at least right now) to walk away and never look back but time will tell.
  13. If it was based just on his spirit and energy, he'd win this hands down. He didn't get my vote for this poll but he's an absolute joy to watch play.
  14. Glad I got my tickets... expecting the rush of sales now!
  15. Some items, I would imagine, will be the same. Chop is also run by that company and it has differences and similarities with the Moxie's menu so I'd assume this one will be the same.
  16. 8 year sentence for the truck driver. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/humboldt-broncos-sentenced-court-jaskirat-singh-sidhu-1.5066842
  17. Same company, just rebranding that location.
  18. Lock him up! Lock him up!

    Interesting little tidbit came out about the ESPN PPV deal today. The price is entirely of the PPV is entirely controlled by ESPN now as is the disclosure of the buyrate so it will be interesting to see if the price moves up or down at all. The UFC won't care either way since they've already been paid.
  20. Good Twitter day for non-wrestling companies!
  21. Beto has said it would be his preference to have a woman as running mate so that pairing could work... not sure Harris is interested in playing 2nd fiddle at the moment though.
  22. Long story short - his dad is a Jefferson but wasn't around so he started going by his mother's name.

    They already offer PPV on fight pass in some countries. It's not like the WWE Network though as those events are not included in the price so you still pay the $60. They could have done the same in North America but since ESPN is willing to give them a big fat cheque, they would have been dumb to say no. The UFC has a 3rd party vendor running fight pass for them so there might have been so contract issues in play there as well. It is an increase in price and it isn't. They only started charging $65 in 2018 as it had been at $60 for years prior to that. That price is also only for those who bought the PPV in HD, as people who would only buy in SD are going from $55 to $65. This doesn't just affect fans though. Fighters, who get part of the PPV revenue, could also see their income affected by this if there is a significant drop in buys.

    They might be active at it but they aren't very good at it. You can find live HD streams for every event on reddit very easily and those never seem to get shut down. There's no learning curve to that other than to no there might be a pop-up or two when you click on the link (that's usually even spelled out so people know ahead of time).

    They've been talking about moving away from PPV for years so it's not really a surprise. A lot of people expected them to move it to their fight pass service but if ESPN is willing to pay them to do basically the same thing, it's a no-brainer for them. It sucks for fans in the US, because now it's an extra monthly cost for them.
