I've watched wrestling for a long time but I was never into that bloody style of pro wrestling that ECW was about back then. Steve Austin & Chris Jerico also wrestled for Heyman in ECW. I don't like a lot of the gymnasic moves you see now where the wrestler about to receive a bump just stays in position until the blow is delivered, It seems to me the AWA & WWWF oldtimers back in the 70's & 80's seemed to have better timing & sold the moves a lot better. Today, it's all about kicks to the head or what Finn Balor does coming off the top rope jumping on an opponent's stomach. Or high flying spots. I guess that's what the fans want so the wrestlers give it to them.

Funk came from a family of wrestlers & the Funk name was huge in Texas. Dory Funk & Terry Funk won many championships together as a tag team in different wrestling promotions.

No worries. Thanks.

Thye Argos tried to sign Joe Montana when he was a free agent in the 80's. He seriously gave it some thought to come up here. That would be unfathomable today. Can you imagine a CFL team trying to sign a player like Patrick Mahomes today??? The Bombers signed former Seahawks qb Jim Zorn in 1986 which caused a bit of a stir at the time. The Seahawks great actually ended his carrer as a Blue Bomber. He was 3QB behind Clements & Hufnagel that season & he held for Trevor Kennerd. I asked my son in Seattle to have him sign my Bomber mini helmet when he told me he was going to meet him. He obliged. It's now in my collection.

He would have been pretty old by then. Man, some of the bumps those guys were willing to take.. Bats wrapped barbed wire. Jumping off structures 30 feet off the ground. The fans were bloodthirsty.

I hear she's 32 now with 3 kids. Still looking for a husband.

The "last" post was August 3rd not April 3rd so it was recent. I wasn't complaining. I was just asking a question. No malice was intended. Sorry to piss you off.

Funk would have fit into the blood & gore ECW run by Paul Heyman in the 90's.

Can you say Hello USFL or XFL? I knew ya could.

Can we put this thread to rest now?

Then His Royal Epicness in a blaze of glory dumped it at the wrong house. Lol.

I first got to know Bob Barker in junior high coming home & watching him host Truth Or Consequences back in 1969. I don't remember what the game was about but it was entertaining. I think he asked contestants a question. They had something like 3 seconds to answer if the question was a truth or a consequence. If they were right then there were two drapes named Truth or Consequences & they received whatever was behind the drape. Sometime it was a huge prize like a new car or something small like a blender. Something like that. Looooong time ago.

I never liked Bray Wyatt's persona or what he did on the mic with his Firefly Funhouse. There was rumours he was coming back & I just thought, great he cuts these great rambling nonsensical promos & then loses at almost every pay per view he's on. Like the WWE was just killing his character slowly. The guy was such a talented well rounded wrestler but the WWE had no idea what to do with him. Now to hear he died at age 36 from complications of Covid 19 with a damaged heart is both tragic & sad. RIP William Lawrence Rotunda.

I think I heard Marshall Ferguson say last night's crowd was the biggest for the Argos this season. I have noticed the attendance is more this season than the last few years but still a loooong way to go. Anyone notice that Ferguson kept referring to Jake Maier as the CFL's leading passer? There's more to being the leading passer than just yards. Not having stats is just so bush league.

This is Randy Ambrosie's CFL. Just a **** show.

Calgary can be a good football city but look at all the former Stamp players around the league. The team can't keep free agents & fans feel that the owner Murray Edwards takes them for granted. Apathy has set in. It's sad to see a team who once had 30,000 season tickets 20 years ago only has just a few thousand today. If they had an owner who cared they'd have 25-30,000 per game. Don't necessarily agree. I say necessarily as you're not wrong but there's also other circumstances at play here with bad ownership.

1. Brady Oliveira 2. Nic Demski 3. Ricky Walker HH Gonna give it to Zach as most qbs would have wilted after his rough start & two pick 6's. He overcame a mountain to play well & win this game.

Until all the votes are counted nothing is certain.

Well then, why do you want to tell us who you'd not be voting for?

When you go to the voting booth do you put an X on the names you're not voting for???

That makes no sense.

The real Marc Liegghio showed up to play last night.

Yeah, he never showed that he can throw the ball with any kind of consistency. Typical rookie qb. Thinks with his legs & runs. He got lucky on some of his deep throws & the dumb 11 man blitz leaving Houston iso'd on the Elks receiver.

Why do you always talk politics on a football thread? Take it to Canadian Politics & leave it there.
