Its Walker or nobody imo. And im leaning towards nobody every day that passes and hes not signed.
Roosevelt? Arceneaux? WTF is the point. From Walker to 2 dudes who combined dont play 18 games a season? Yea i dont see Kyle and Crew going after injury prone old dudes.
St Louis.. Blues game in St Louis drew a 3.1
Battlehawks drew a 6.0
The ratings are better than most major leagues sports ratings. Hockey is basically non existent in the US ratings wise. XFL could last a while... 3 years for sure.
IMO he was the argos best D player last season. Ppl think hes here to backup? Doubt that. Id pencil him in right now in a LB spot.. I think hes starting but pencil because camp should decide for sure.
So lets pretend...
Connor gets you lets just fsntasy land.. provorov or Sanheim
Ehlers gets what? Less than he is worth to the Jets? Sweet LT deal there also.
So why move Ehlers for less than his worth? Thats Dumb. Wonder how many goals he'd have with Scheif and Laine..
Regardless its dumb to move either of them.
Roslo? Sure. Vesa? Maybe.. They aint getting much tho.
Also.. I've never once for real thought Connor or Nik or anyone under 26 would be dealt. The RHD could be fixed off season with a Hamonic or Vatanen signing. Keep in mind.. Expansion draft coming.. 7 3 1 looks likely as the protection model.. 7 Fs.. 3 D (Josh Pionk FA signing) Helle. Cuz right now only Josh and Pionk are worth protecting.
Im also gonna throw this out here.. This draft outside of the top 10 is very not good... Very small chance of getting a RHD or 2 center. Perhaps id move the pick plus Perreault? Maybe Little? I dunno.. For a RHD or Young cost controlled center now.
Top rated sports on the weekend in the US. Ppl understand this is more than what nhl nba mlb draw right?
Cant compare it to 20 years ago, viewership habits have changed. Not sure why ppl do this.
Oh.. Wrestling haters? I see. But its football so not sure why some want it to fail so bad. All the talking heads in the US, even the ones who hate WWE are all praising the XFL.
AEW is as much "pro" wrestling as WWE is.. Am i watching a different dynamite? Or when i turn it off after an hour cuz 10000 dives and no sells do they start really wrestling? Cuz what ive seen is WWE lite...With swear words...
Dont see Page ever being someone who actually puts asses in seats.
Why? Cuz he drinks beer?
How? There just isnt that many wrestling fans anymore
Ppl realize that nxt and aew combined draw the same roughly give or take 1.6 million viewers per week?
The market just isnt there. There are WWE fans and then theres 900k give or take fans who likely are watching AEW NJPW MLW NWA etc.
I want AEW to do well... But fact is they started out drawing over 1 million then really haven't come close since.
The market just isn't there. Wrestling is not popular and a dude pretending to be Stone Cold Steve Austin isn't gonnna move the needle. At all. The fans just aren't there anymore.
