  1. Lets focus on the one bad goal and then completely ignore the amazing save on Gallagher and the 38 other saves he made.
  2. Oof going 9 minutes without a shot in the 3rd period that's not good.
  3. Why do I have a feeling that we will see at the end of the season the report where Toronto was fined for going over the salary cap....
  4. As I said before... some people cheer backyard wrestlers smashing light tubes over each other, it doesn't mean that it's popular or that the general public would like it. Marko Stunt is 5 foot 2 and 115 lbs (as per wikipedia) with zero muscle definition and zero wrestling ability... Rey Mysterio is 5 foot 6 and 170 lbs to put that in perspective. I'm suppose to believe that Marko can even inflict a slight bit of damage or even remotely stay alive for two seconds in a ring? Joey Janela looks like this: I stated the reasons why I didn't like the product and what it would take for it to change my mind and more then likely help them gain a much larger audience and possibly mainstream attention. Anyone with two eyes can see that AEW has a lonnnnnnnng way to go in getting over. To put it in perspective... TNA on Spike many years ago was pulling double the viewers that AEW currently does and that was when Austin and other big guys were still around. These days despite WWE being at it's all the time low in viewership AEW is losing viewers after it's initial launch and has failed to build any sort of audience despite adding more "stars" and having a year to work out angles and the talent.
  5. A very small minority of people would like them. I could (can) not stand the ICP but they still have "a" following which doesn't mean that they are popular with the overall potential audience. Airing Marko Stunt and his midget frame on TV as being competitive with legit wrestlers may please one fan for every five fans that look at it and laugh and then instantly change the channel because it's a joke. It reminds me of terrible backyard wrestling that tried to be extreme and would try to do Japanese death matches. Some people (not I) would totally love watching people getting wrecked by barbed wire and light tubes.... but the vast majority of casual and even hardcore wrestling fans would not watch it. Jericho shouldn't even be employed based on his anti-COVID and pro Trump and being associated with the Capitol hill incident. Either way I tried watching AEW at a few different points and it reminds me of really bad local wrestling shows. Usually a few good spots, many bad spots and a couple of absolutely terrible spots. They really have no excuses with the money backing them on why they can't put on way better matches. I had watched TNA in the mid 2000's and they did a much better job of putting on good matches (X Division) and adding more high flying moves without going overboard. On AEW every time I watch they have some 150 - 170 pound guy trying to do be a video game type wrestler that only hits high spots (botching more then half of the time) and can't do basic wrestling moves. It gets real old watching a group of people look at each other and clump together outside the ring only for a little guy to jump over and botch his over the top rope move and everyone still selling it. And getting back to the promos and out of ring scenes.... absolutely atrocious and that's coming from someone who had to watch an old lady give birth to a hand. Everything reminds me of when I used to go to bad local wrestling shows in which their always is a dedicated fan base who goes to every show and any casual or new person watching is turned off instantly because it's laughable bad. Being a former big time wrestling fan it's clear as day that the show is being ran by the inmates and that the end result is a money mark putting on a terrible end product. No way in he** would Jim Ross script the show how it is right now. Jim Ross is happy that a money mark is dumping boat loads of money on his lawn and going along with it as long as they keep throwing money at him.
  6. The ratings clearly show that they are catering to the small niche of fans who like that style, but if they ever want to grow then they need to do the following: Hire a real booker, Tony Khan is terrible and never let him on screen ever again. Him trying to force muscles on that Impact commercial was embarassing. The shows and the angles they use are laughable bad and so inconsistent and amateurish. Use the veterans in a realistic manner and try to come up with something new. Sting is dirt old no one thinks he can kick anyones ass anymore and the Crow gimmick grew old even back in WCW. Why can't Sting have a new gimmick and simply lead a group rather then get physically involved. They have all those old guys (Jim Ross, Arn, Tully, Jake) who could easily help them create good angles and promos and can give advice on how to piece together a solid match... yet they clearly are not listening to them. Cut at least 33% of the roster with all the crap wrestlers like Marko Stunt, Luther, Joey Janela. Their are a tonne of great indie workers looking for work that are a million times more presentable then the crap they have shown. Get Omega a promo coach, his promos suck for the North American market. With his look and ability he should of been skyrocketed to the top like a prime Shawn Micheals. This has not happened yet. Actually get everyone a promo coach, all of the promos on the show are absolutely atrocious. The promos are not funny at all and the acting is so wooden and not believable at all. What made classic WCW/ECW/WWE great in the late 90's was that they had great talent from top to bottom who could all wrestle. The stuff with Benoit, Storm, Malenko, Jericho (pre getting fat and before he was a racist), Guerrero all of their matches were must watch. They didn't simply have a bunch of tiny under sized guys doing the same flips over the top of the rope in every single match. Try to cater to a slightly older audience then 10- 14 year old boys, they don't have to go full extreme ECW but they could at least try to make it interesting for adults.
  7. Sting has an even worse neck and is half the size of Austin and he apparently is willing to step in the ring. I wasn't thinking Austin would be a wrestler, he'd make more sense as an on air personality who can kick the **** out of some people when need to without taking any bumps. Austin on the mic is gold.... Sting/Big Show on the mic is blaaaaa
  8. AEW is clearly Tony Khan trying to relive 1997 WCW memories.... Paul Wight was an attraction because he was a big tall dude... it wasn't because of his personality and promo skills. So if he's not wrestling then what's the point? Edit * It appears that he will be getting in the ring to wrestle * So not a terrible signing. Sting has to be over 60 and really the "crow" gimmick ran it's course long long time ago, he as well is a dull promo and at his old age it's not very believable that he's going to whoop someones ass. If they want to gain attention and viewers then why not throw a tonne of cash at Steve Austin, he can still cut a helluva promo and physically he's not detoriated so that at least it is plausible watching him punch out the young guys and tossing them out of a ring.
  9. So basically you would not want to ever go to a sold out game with the Bombers where everyone is screaming at the top of their lungs minus the masks?
  10. https://www.ebaumsworld.com/images/snowman-blowjob/24780/ Unfortunately it's an old picture and not from Winnipeg =\
  11. Don't forget minor league baseball as the Goldeyes league has a plan even with the border being closed.
  12. Risky move with that fat contract he has, if he can recapture what he had then the Colts are set.
  13. Crazy stuff happening in Myanmar
  14. If the Burger King sandwich is at the same quality as the BK nuggets... then I would set expectations very low.
  15. My friend told me it wasn't kodi and told me it was links off the net. Or so I've heard
  16. Not that I would ever do this... but the from what I hear the quality of internet streams for NHL , NFL, UFC any sporting event has improved so much over the last few years that at this point you can barely even tell that it's an internet stream. It's also (from what I hear) extremely easy to find streams of your favorite team and in some cases you can listen to the the home or the away team audio broadcast while watching.
  17. So correct me if I'm wrong... the Winnipeg Goldeyes which are part of a very minor league have a COVID plan and a plan to play this season. The CFL after a full year still have zero plan despite having far less logistics to deal with (crossing the border) and a major TV partner. I don't understand why they don't have best case worst case scenario. Wouldn't it help in certain areas if they need to get some sort of help/funding if they have a plan in place for playing in a bubble. It just seems so weird that they have said jack squat.
  18. No excuses on not having the season going this year, if they don't play then Ambrosie will be known as the man who killed the CFL.
  19. I'll take unknown younger and possibly better prospects occupying roster spots over the list above of names that had moderate amount of success for a short period of time.
  20. My wife and I who were big fans of Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon decided to give Mayim Bialik's new series "Call me Kat" a try. This may be one the worst shows we've ever seen, absolutely dreadful all around with terrible one liners, unnatural acting, bad breaking 4th wall bits, and super bizarre endings where everyone breaks character and smiles and waves at the camera. It reminded me of the bad parts from a cheese 80's sitcom mixed with early 2000's disney channel kids stuff (Hannah Montana). I'll be amazed if it even lasts a full season.
  21. Needs to capitalize on the radio stations closing up.
  22. As I posted in the other thread about this... The nerve of the lady to consider a lawsuit against gorilla glue is ridiculous.
  23. I have two young children.... I do no sex I just wanted an excuse to post this video... it always makes me laugh
  24. I hope that the fairweather fans in Ottawa will still support the team after another crappy season....
