It's too bad Montreal is still holding on to Kavis... he would make an excellent replacement for Jones.

Great news to wake up to this morning. So much for the talk of big deals not being signed without a new CBA in place!

The only reason I would like to see Kenny in the WWE is to see the matches with guys like Styles, Seth and Bryan. I know they've all worked together in some form before but to see them headlining Wrestlemania would be something else.

Per year is what I've read... that number is being shot down by some people though. Meltzer hasn't gone into detail (yet) but he's said it was a fantastic offer that the WWE made. I would guess that Kenny would be worth more than Cody and he was offered a 7 figure deal.

With so many matches having a forgone conclusion, WK was pretty underwhelming for me (from a storyline perspective). Was hoping for at least one unexpected result but it didn't happen.

And get them to pay for it!

Gustavsson definitely didn't find out until after it was announced. The fighters will also lose money (not including the costs involved with getting their teams/family relocated). Nevada doesn't charge income tax while Cali does, so fighters will lose between 6-12% of their earnings.

What a sh!tshow... UFC 232 is being moved from Vegas to L.A. on 6 days notice because Jones still has roids in his system (same type as the ones from July 2017). NSAC wont license him but Cali will. I'm sure the fans travelling to Vegas for this are super happy with this decision.

FYP

My personal tie-in: I was too young to really remember Live Aid but in 2005 I drove down to Barrie Ontario to go the the Live 8 concert (20th anniversary of Live Aid). I don't think it ended up being nearly as huge as the original (the London Bombings happened the next day so that took away most of the media coverage) but there was still some cool stuff to see live (or on screen via satelite) in that atmosphere. Easily the most memorable concert I've ever been to.

Some of them (Bryant and Yoshi) already did. Still waiting on the Canadian guys though.

Pretty sure the intent is not to be competition for WWE, but to be more of an alternative. If this makes sense for them as individuals, then how is it dumb? For guys like the Bucks, with young families at home, if they can make the same (or more) money without all the crazy travel, the dumb decision would be not doing it. When you consider how much BC merch they sold without making a dime... that's a pretty good incentive to try to get some of that for themselves. Besides, they have a big financial backer so the risk for them is probably fairly limited. They can always go back to ROH/NJPW if it doesn't pan out.

Yes. He only played his senior year with Oregon.

I would think it's because you're talking about 1 restaurant vs a popular small chain with multiple locations.

It's something the league decided to do earlier this year. https://www.cfl.ca/2018/02/20/cfl-reveals-list-10-negotiation-list-players-team/

Good to know. I was fairly surprised when someone posted this on my FB page.

Also in completely unrelated news, the Riders have announced they have hired 37 new "Doctors" & "Athletic Therapists" for the upcoming season.

That jacket doesn't cut it for me as a Star Wars nerd... now if it were a replica of Han's jacket instead of some random film crew, that would be a different story! 😀

I hope I win the lottery one day but I'm not suggesting that I will. I feel better about my chances when I actually buy a ticket. I hope Bighill stays but I'm not suggesting he will. I feel better about the chances of him staying when I hear him mentioned in a conversation about players who want to be here. Hoping something happens and suggesting it will happen are two completely different things.

Who suggested anything? I just said I'm feeling better about our chances. No more, no less. It's little things like these tweets that are giving me more hope but it doesn't diminish the very real possibility he's going back to BC.

I just checked Dave Naylor's twitter feed... no sign of Bighill at at Canucks game with Hervey so I think we're good.

Might be wishful thinking but I'm feeling the same way.
