  1. https://www.tsn.ca/tsn-announces-new-partnership-with-all-elite-wrestling-becoming-canadian-home-of-aew-dynamite-1.1374920 Official release from TSN. Dynamite will also be available on demand, which is nice.
  2. While I'm a lot more comfortable with Streveler at QB now than I was a few weeks ago, I would still feel a lot better with both of them healthy. Also, you have to feel bad for Nichols. It's going to be tough for him to regain his starting role next year.
  3. Thrilled to see this. Bob Cameron is arguably one of the reasons I became a die hard Bomber fan. I grew up a few streets down from Bob and my best friend though elementary school and jr. high's dad ran a home reno company in the neighbourhood. If anyone knows Bob, you could easily imagine that these two guys got along pretty easily. Anyway, one day my friend and I wanted to go chuck around a football but we couldn't find his in his basement. His dad suggested we pop by Bob's; he'd probably have one. So off we went, in the drizzling rain, to Bob Cameron's house to see if he had a football we could use. Sure enough, he had one. But not only did he have a ball, he also had a story about the Grey Cup the ball was used in that he told use before sending us out into the rain with the thing to kick it around. This was probably about a year or two after my dad took me to my first Bomber game (1997). The next spring my buddy and I got season tix in section S as 14-15 year olds. About six games in the guys behind us started buying us beer because I hit a Ti-Cat fan about 20 rows below us in the head with a Coke bottle cap I flicked. He tried to fight like 30 people attempting to find the guy the flicked it. The dude's behind us thought it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen. I never learned their names in the 3 or 4 years they sat behind us but goddamn did they do a ton to introduce me to football. I'll never forget them cooking on their Hibachi in their seats during the 2001 east final.
  4. Today he showed the progress that I was hoping to see. Just looking more comfortable.
  5. an intentional push should be an automatic ejection.
  6. meh, his only mistake was getting caught. Half the league is doping or on some sort of supplement that will be on a banned list within the next 5-7 years.
  7. This thread has gone off the rails in the best kind of way.
  8. Any negatives I see from Streveler are from inexperience not inability. He looks a bit clumsy, almost panicky at times, when he's standing in the pocket going through his reads. It seems like he's thinking about them a bit too much. I'm not concerned. With enough playing time those reads will start to become more automatic.
  9. **** it, I'm watching the game on mute tonight
  10. Holy **** do I hope this draws less than an average Bomber game. At this rate that definitely seems to be realistic.
  11. La Roca is definitely the sort of place I could see this happening at. I walk by there at night a fair bit and while I wouldn't classify the crowd as a bunch of gangsters, there's certainly a lot of coked-up douchebags dressed like extras in a Drake video.
  12. Say what you will but Geena Davis is one hell of a power back. With Rosie blocking, she should be able to get close to 1,000
  13. This is very true. I also think the Bombers could revisit their pricing structure. There's some price points that just don't sell very well.
  14. play calling might have been better if the Bombers actually executed on first down in the later stages of the game. Oh well. The good guys won. A number of the low points were from guys having unusually poor games so it doesn't concern me too much at this point. Basically what tonight showed me is that even if a few key guys have bad games, as a unit this team is still strong enough to compete with the other top teams in the league.
  15. That's pretty much how I've been feeling about it. If you've got two evenly matched guys in camp who aren't really going to play at all, take the younger guy with less experience. If McGuire is at Bennett's level without the experience, his potential SHOULD be higher.
  16. There's basically two ways for the stadium to book large events. Either they go out and "buy" an event and act as the promoter/co-promoter or an outside promoter rents the building for an event they bought. This NFL game definitely seems like On Ice Entertainment bought the rights to the game and is renting the stadium. The Bombers assume less risk but On Ice stands to gain more if the event sells out. Still, it's within the Bombers best interest to sell that sucker out and get as much concession money as possible.
  17. The only way its possible is to tour non-stop and even then it's not a lucrative business. The few friends I have that are still making their living off of music are rarely home and when they are, they're working a part time job to supplement their income.
  18. Last night was another good show by WPW. Slightly smaller crowd than the first two but still a solid turn out. Kevin Chevy has improved so much over the past few years. His match with Airwolf was great. AJ Sanchez vs Josh Alexander was another really good match, as was the main event between Shotzi Blackheart, Jody Threat and a third woman who's name I didn't catch.
  19. Forgot to mention the Lucha Bros/Young Bucks match. I really liked that one as well. Overall, I think my favourite part of the show was how well balanced it was. You had fun matches, athletic matches, violent matches, story based matches, brawls, women's matches, singles, tags, young guys, legends, guys in their prime. Just a really great mix.
  20. It was an excellent show. A few hiccups but nothing that derailed things. The Rhodes match was great and one of the goriest matches I've seen in a while. The Jericho/Omega match and the women's tag match were also really good. The battle royal in the pre-show was super fun, too.
  21. I thought I read something a while back about a Canadian broadcast partner but there's been so many rumours and half-truths floating around that I can't keep it all straight anymore.
  22. "Yous... Yous guys are nothing but wolf... Sheep in wolf's clothing! You're prancing around nude in some mag... some girly magazine... well I think it was a GAY magazine!" - Bret Hart And ****, Bret, clear your damn throat! But still, definitely one of the best ever.
  23. Anyone attend the CWE anniversary show last week? Looked like a really good card but I wasn't able to make it down. Would love to catch the next PCW show (dog collar match!!!) but I've already got tickets for a concert that night.
  24. Does he have a history of injuries or anything? If not, these days 39 still gives you a few good years and a few more decent ones if the cards fall just right.
  25. Now that there is potentially a viable alternative to WWE, I'm guessing we'll see more people thinking about where they really want to be and how much they want to allow their careers to be dictated by WWE.
