The Unknown Poster

Ambrose is arguably the top face right now and just lost a disputed match against Hunter for the world title. He's positioned as the underdog for sure but his winning shouldn't be a major Surprise

I would love to see Scheif hit 30 goals. In a losing effort ofcourse

Three goals in two minutes

We should do predictions sometime this week!

If I recall, I dont think the issue was so much that the Bombers had malicious intent. Ofcourse it was an error, but one for which the Bombers were responsible. Had the winner discarded his ticket, it would have been really unfortunate. Also, I believe the secondary issue was the Bombers noticed the error, corrected it but didnt tell anyone there had been an error. That to me was the bigger issue facing the Bombers. Because the eventual winner had retrieved his ticket from the trash as a keepsake and heard the Bombers hadnt found a winner yet and re-checked his ticket...which is good. But a more responsible action would have seen the Bombers publicly say "hey we goofed, so make sure you all re-check your tickets". And if there was anything untoward it was the possibility that the Bombers realised the winner might have thrown his ticket away and there would be "no winner", thus they didnt want to draw attention to their mistake. These are assumptions but fairly logical. All in all, it turned out fine so no harm, no foul. And Im sure the Bombers will be more careful in the future. In fact, posting a photo of the winning numbers rather than typing them in would solve the problem.

Word is there is a re-branding of the "Divas" division coming including a new belt that is a smaller version of the WWE World Championship (with a few other changes) and possibly a change in terminology from Divas to Women. Which is loooooong over due. New belt supposed to debut on Monday. Hopefully they make a big deal of it. I'd assume Sasha wins, throws the crappy butterfly belt in the trash and declares herself the first WWE World Women's Champion.

That might help to explain how he gained 30 lbs. Also gained a few inches it sounds like although I doubt Roberts had anything to do with that ;-)

These guys have the right idea (from Latino Review) Now a couple of fans are attempting to take matters into their own hands, by starting petitions that entreat Warner Bros to dump director Zack Snyder from future DCEU involvement. One is aimed specifically at getting him immediately replaced from JUSTICE LEAGUE- PART 1: And the other seeks to boot him from the DCEU entirely: Read more at: https://tr.im/pmlXP On the bochinche end of things, our own Kellvin revealed on yesterday's LOS FANBOYS podcast that he's heard whispers that WB has at least considered the idea of delaying JUSTICE LEAGUE long enough for a changing of the guard. But that is the tiniest of rumors, and probably one of the most far-fetched things I've heard in a long, long time. So take that with a cup of salt. Read more at: https://tr.im/pmlXP

Wow! That's incredible. If he had knocked him out or taken an eye it would be huge news. He wont get much because they over-value playoff games when it comes to suspensions but he should get 10 games. Malicious intent to injure by using the stick as a weapon. That's egregious.

Yeah thats interesting. It gets him a paycheque and signing bonus right now. But I dont really see the point. Jets retain his rights so he's surely re-signing with the Jets. Perhaps it was just easier to sign today and continue talks on a longer term deal later.

This cant be true. No free agent wants to come to Winnipeg! Good get for Winnipeg. Could be a simple depth signing or an under-appreciated signing for now. He might end up a solid mid to low six player. A more talented Thorburn perhaps. The fact upwards of 12 teams were pitching offers bodes fairly well that there might be something here. I wonder what Chevy promised... better than average chance to play in the NHL next season?

Then you'll want to check out CNN's docu-series "The Eighties", debuting this Thursday.

Details on the player: The left shooting left winger was the teammate of Jets' prospect Erik Foley and is the brother of Vancouver Canucks' defender Chris Tanev. http://jetsnation.ca/2016/3/30/winnipeg-jets-sign-brandon-tanev-to-entry-level-contract Tanev has been watched by NHL teams for somewhile, including Darren Dreger commenting that about a dozen teams were looking at the player. The winger was passed on the draft, likely due to size issues. According to the Canucks' development camp roster in 2011, Tanev was 5'10 and 150 lbs as a 19-year-old. It's understandable why teams would avoid a player at that size. While an undersized scoring forward in the CHL may be drafted by teams (like the Jets' own Nic Petan), Tanev was playing in tier-two junior like the OJHL and BCHL. Tanev numbers won't wow anyone, with 77 points scored in 149 collegiate games over four seasons, he does have some scoring ability. The winger's 15 goals this season was tied with Mark Jankowski for team lead and he came second in team shots on goal per game. Tanev pulled this off while playing on the second line and power play unit for likely the second best team in Hockey East. The two-way forward passes almost all the check marks, including a growth spurt pulling him up to 6'0 and 180 lbs. Tanev is known for his decision making, in making plays that are conductive to his coach trusting him in defensive situations like the penalty kill. He is not scared to get his nose dirty along the boards or in front of the net either. Tanev's best asset though is his speed. While he won't win any races against Kyle Connor or Nikolaj Ehlers, Tanev boasts a pretty good top gear which could make him an effective penalty killer at the NHL level.

That was quick

I never read the books so the differences dont concern me. I generally hate "fantasy" but I like GoT. But if Jon Snow is really dead Im out.

JTG (remember him - tag team with Shad in Cryme Tyme) has his second E-book coming out this week. The first one was pretty entertaining and he has some eye rolling stories. here are a few: - His first experience with heat was witnessing Miz get yelled at for wearing sunglasses in doors. - He was to work with an unnamed wrestler (CM Punk). He wanted to get together to talk about the match but the other wrestler kept blowing him off. they finally talked and the other wrestler said it would be a squash. jtg objected to being squashed. the other wrestler told him its what vince wanted. jtg talked to vince and vince said no, he could get offense in. the other wrestler was not happy jtg went to vince. the match was awkward. jtg didn't sell his opponent's finisher well so his opponent used his other finish, a submission move. jtg kept from tapping so long his opponent was yelling at him to tap and they had to edit the length of the move for tv - Before their debut, Cryme Tyme worked a non-televised event and JTG is told by Shawn Michaels (he doesn't outright name him, but it's incredibly clear) that his hand gesture is too close to D-X's suck it. After their debut match, HBK confronts him again and tells him. Finally after a house show, Shawn gets in his face and says "Not only did I warn you once, I warned you twice! And the third time, you did it on national TV! You have NO RESPECT for me or this business!!!" - After the plane ride, JTG is approached by someone who had been in WWE for twenty years at that time and asks JTG to carry an 1/8th of weed for him. JTG doesn't want to, and then two other wrestlers start to pressure him into doing so as well. William Regal shows up and tells the guys to back off. Regal tells JTG, '"I know you were in a tough position. Those guys were not looking out for your best interest. I hate to see young talent such as yourself being taken advantage of. I couldn't just stand there and say nothing. You'll be out of a job and under the jail, and they'll continue wrestling, acting like nothing ever happened." - One Monday night, Shad and JTG decide to get their hair braided up again to make it good for television...Shad does it in the hallway where everyone walks through. JTG explains it is a no-no in wrestling for talent (especially new) to not be watching all the other matches as the show is going on. JTG is told by an agent that when it comes to heat, "he and his partner were joined at the hip" They are squashed by Khali in a handicap match that same week on Smackdown as punishment. JTG claims the whole show was re-arranged just so they could punish them. - One Monday night, Shad and JTG decide to get their hair braided up again to make it good for television...Shad does it in the hallway where everyone walks through. JTG explains it is a no-no in wrestling for talent (especially new) to not be watching all the other matches as the show is going on. JTG is told by an agent that when it comes to heat, "he and his partner were joined at the hip" They are squashed by Khali in a handicap match that same week on Smackdown as punishment. JTG claims the whole show was re-arranged just so they could punish them. - One night on the road, JTG is at the bar and a girl is making eyes for him. John Cena highly encourages him to go for it, and after JTG goes to bed (said he was too drunk and tired to bother) Cena calls him up and tells him he is sending the girl up toward him and not to disappoint him. Sure enough, it is the girl and they do have sex....and then JTG finds out it was a wrestlers 'personal groupie' (which he says is an oxymoron) He doesn't drop clues as to who this wrestler was, but it greatly hurt their friendship and WRESTLERS COURT was to be had. JBL was the prosecutor and Undertaker was judge..JTG is instructed to buy beer for everyone or at least something special for JBL and Undertaker. He also has to come up with a defense attorney, and settles on an ECW legend. He says it didn't matter if the wrestler really had any good defense, as long as he was a wrestler in good standing. JTG explains if he loses the case, the punishments are dreadful for a wrestler. He will have to possibly carry the other wrestlers bags for months, or lose locker room privilege for up to a year. Benoit kills family. Everyone forgets about case. He makes up with wrestler and says he ended up being a good friend. - The reason Cryme Tyme got fired the first time stems from a prank committed by the Trevor/Cade. Before their match one night on Raw, neither Trevor nor Lance would accept any planned spots. They would shoot them down again, and again. Calling one 'stupid' or said ' that doesn't make sense'. They decide they'll call it in the ring. A spot where JTG makes it to the ring before 10 was planned, and as he was reaching 8, the ref quickly counted to ten and counted out JTG. Now JTG makes it clear this was not the finish, the ref and Trevor/Cade were ******* with him. As they laugh and flee from the ring, Shad decides to hit the ref with his finisher...whatever it was. And then auction the refs belt off to the crowd. As soon as they pass the curtain, Shad is taken away into an office and chewed out for hitting the ref with the finisher. JTG says that in his meeting, Shad stood up for himself and said that if the other guys had problems with them, they should've handled it in the back and not in front of the audience. One week later on their way to Raw, JTG gets a call from Johnny Ace who asks, 'why didn't you stop and control Shad?' JTG notes to us that Shad is about 6'7" They meet the next day and are both fired. When rehired, JTG says their first opponents back were Murdoch/Cane and that it was a special night because not only did they beat them, the crowd chanted 'Welcome Back' - So JTG talks about being a huge fan of Bret Hart, and says WWE started making him shades called 'Yo-Yo-Yo' shades. They debuted it at a Cyber Sunday and JTG says they were a huge hit, but there still wasn't plans for full production. Nonetheless, months pass and after a meeting with WWE's lead coordinator of merchandise, the shades are a go. So with all that going well for him, JTG does an interview with WWE magazine and is asked how to describe his relationship with Shad. JTG, without thinking, says, 'friendship, bond, loyalty, respect' and quickly corrects himself and tells the writer not to include those last two words. The writer says, "Okay, I understand. I get it. I know how some of you guys can be sensitive about your gimmicks and catchphrases." Of course when the interview is released, both words are still there. Cena meets him in the bathroom as he's taking a piss, Quote: '"Hey, JTG? Is that you in there? I was reading the latest WWE magazine. Interesting article with you and your tag team partner. Nice choice of words." I already knew where he was going with this. I immediately started to plead my case. I told him that a lot of the article was embellished, and that I told the writer not to use those two words, especially not in the same sentence. I finally came out of the stall. He looked me dead in my eyes and said, "You might be telling the truth. The magazine guys are known for putting words in peoples' mouths to make an exciting article. They've done that a few times to me also. But there still has to be consequences and repercussions. This can't go unpunished. You know those cool shades that you have coming out? We're gonna have to put those on hold. That will make us 'Even Steven.'" - Shad indeed greets Stephanie by calling her baby. Steph says, ""What did you just call me? Don't call me baby, Shad. If you talk to the Divas like that, that's fine. But I'm not one of the Divas, and you can refer to me by my name." Cena walks in right as it happens, shakes his head, and walks away. - WWE hires masseuses for backstage but everyone except top guys are afraid to use them. Johnny Ace finally says they are going to cut the service if people stop using them. One night backstage JTG is approached by one who practically begs him to let her massage him. Sure enough,Triple H comes by and says, "Hey Shawn! You've got to come see this! One of the OVW guys who hasn't even been on the road for a week is getting a massage." JTG leaps off the table, and the masseuse starts laughing, he believes she was in on it to **** with him. - Beats by Dre had been given out free headphones. JTG manages to get one and is caught offguard by a wrestler who says he should've let 'someone who is over' have them. This person then went and told someone that JTG took three. JTG says the guy is rich and he didn't want to confront him because it would make matters worse. It's Orton. And then he said the other top guy who had a headphone draped around his neck was also upset at not getting anymore free stuff. It's Cena. What a wonderful business!

Great news. Just need True North to buy IGF and we're about done. I wonder if this will result in TN pushing hard for development and upgrades around the theater also. (More info at the link). http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/betting-on-the-burt-373830031.html After two years of running the Burton Cummings Theatre, True North Sports & Entertainment has decided to buy the iconic venue. Kevin Donnelly, senior vice-president of venues and entertainment at True North, has been booking shows at the Burt since the spring of 2014 while simultaneously overseeing a never-ending string of renovations to the 109-year-old theatre. True North has given formal notice to the Walker Theatre Performing Arts Group Inc., the volunteer board that oversees the Burt, that it’s going to exercise its option to buy the building. "The wheels are turning now. We’re going to own it and operate it. It will be a True North entity," Donnelly said. The terms of the deal aren’t being released but Donnelly said they take into account the "hundreds of thousands" of dollars True North has invested into the Burt over the course of its two-year lease.

His voice is going to be trashed singing that much.

Supposedly Chevy wanted to let him catch his breath before talking.

The player poll is lame considering only 20-30 ish players responded.

Well if the police tell you to freeze and you pull out your phone this gives them the right to shoot you. And since that will result on everyone whining about the police I assume that's the goal. A few dead young people are a small price to pay.

Dont forget Earhart. A true story but a potential airplane disaster. Did you do Diehard 2?

A Luthor as President (or in the midst of a Presidential election) would have been good, if the actor was strong and, well, Presidential. It would have been timely too. A missed opportunity. Speaking of which, the voice of the President was Patrick Wilson (Watchmen) and Snyder hints he might show up in the future. I like him a lot. He would have played a great good guy opposite an evil charismatic politician Luthor.
