Wrestling
Thank you for the recap TUP it was an enjoyable read. I definitely LOL'd at the Ernie Todd tapping out Dan Severn... the ego is hilarious. WFX did have good indy names on the show mixed with legends and recently dropped WWE talent. It was a good mix and had some good local talent. It was doomed to fail because I counted maybe 250 people tops at one of the first shows and they had easily a dozen maybe even more names on the show. Just to transport itself would of been a tonne of cash. They did have a proper television production crew and the facility was great for wrestling. I assume it failed because of poor advertising. The highlight of my WFX experience was watching Teddy Hart nearly losing it because a fan booed his shooting star press. I thought he was going to cork the kid in the face but at the last second he pat the guy on the shoulder.... Teddy Hart was a super weird dude to meet. I've yet to go to a PCW show, my friends have gone. They did say that it used to be way over the top hardcore where fans brought weapons and everyone bladed... that's what mostly made me avoid going to the shows back in the day since I was more into wrestling then the hardcore stuff. I also found that the behind the scenes drama of local wrestling was way more entertaining then the in ring product. The non pro local wrestlers took everything way to seriously and they almost made it seem like going to a rival show was going to commence some kind of massive brawl a la the movie the Warriors. I found the drama to be hilarious and very Trailer Park Boys like.

The Star Wars Thread
As a casual Star Wars fan coming away from watching both new movies only once.... Kylo Ren appears to be the weakest of any Jedi. I think they could of extended the scenes with Rei showing just how powerful she is and how much advanced she was considering how little (if any) training she had from Luke. I come away from watching the movies thinking that Kylo isn't the guy that everyone fears and where the next movie will be how the good guys can overcome such an overwhelming powerful demi-god like figure. My favorite scene in Rogue One was at the end where Darth Vader is casually walking through destroying everyone in his path with zero effort. I dont' get that from Kylo. My assumption is that in the next movie they will do a swerve where Rei goes dark and Kylo saves the day or something along those lines?

Game 44 : Bison @ Buffalo
So far so good... Wheeler was gassed and made a terrible attempt to clear the puck on the goal against.... aside from that the team is firing on all cylinders. Lehner has made some big saves so far.

Big John is off to Bellator to do color commentary... this saddens me because he is the best ref in the business.

Does Mentallo still wrestle locally? Next to Kenny Omega I always found him to be the next best local wrestler back in the day?

Game 43 : Great White @ Great White North
Nope I can't remember who was talking about his salary on the radio a few months ago, I think it was Pierre LeBrun or Dreger, but they were expecting closer to 9.

Game 43 : Great White @ Great White North
*If* they move on for Buff... I wonder what kind of return they would get and what kind of return they would want?

Game 42 : Buffalo @ Springfield Rd.
I don't blame Maurice for playing Morrissey , Trouba, Kulikov and Myers... all four of them had really strong games last night. Only Chiarot looked bad IMO...

The TV Thread
I worry that Roseanne will try to cover so much territory that what made it great (the banter between each of the adults) and the smaller stuff will be over looked.

When do we fire Richie Hall?
I cannot provide a valid opinion on if the guy should go or not as for myself I have not watched hours and hours of game film and was not in on what each players assignments were and how they executed. I will put my faith to the guys who have done this and do this for a living.

Wrestling
I just watched the match with English commentary, it was very entertaining for what it was. I liked the spot where Jericho drop kicked Omega in the knees while he was on the top rope. Looked real good. I also would agree that The Jackyl is still very good on the mic. I came away entertained.

I've watched Kenny Omega live a long time ago (almost 12 years) and back then he was very entertaining to watch. I could only imagine how much better he is live now.
