  1. Of course, (I assume that) he's Hindu & not Muslim but I get your point. I don't think too many wrestling fans would get the difference especially in the US. Lots of hate & mistrust today like never before. Was Davari part of the storyline of the Muslim wrestler (character) that the WWE released over a decade ago when things went badly? The guy who played the Muslim wrestler wasn't really Muslim as I remember but the reaction by fans was so negative that McMahon had to get rid of him. I think there were fears that he could be seriously injured or even killed. That was after 9/11.
  2. What's your thoughts on Jinder Mahal?
  3. There is also the subject of advertising. How well will the Winter Olympics sell in the US when game & other events are on at 3 in the morning not only for hockey but for other sports? As much as the rest of the world hates it, if broadcast times suck in the States then it affects the ratings for the Olympics on television which means loss of tv revenues. I don't think the games in South Korea will be as successful as they'd have been if they were in Europe. That could have played into the decision although it's pretty well common knowledge that the NHL was looking at any reason not to be there.
  4. Harrison wasn't that good in the first place so no surprise there. He was a waste of a roster spot.
  5. The time zone is probably the worst you could have for television in North America. Look at the Women's World Curling Championship 2 weeks ago in Beijing. The championship game started around 3 or 4 am. Brutal. That & the fact you have a nutbar tin pot dictator threatening to blow up the US & Japan with nuclear weapons. No way the Olympics should even be in South Korea with all of the geo political conflict going on. The IOC awarded South Korea the Winter Olympics after millions in bribes, I'm sure. Don't blame the NHL for not wanting to be there in the least.
  6. I think Mahal has really improved as a wrestler. He's not the same guy who was part of that air band garbage crap he was in before he was released before along with Drew McIntyre. That angle got both of them their walking papers from WWE the first time. He looks legit in the ring & I hope he actually gets a push. Frigging goofball Mojo Rawley wins the battle royal & Luke Harper is eliminated. he may be the best big man wrestling in the WWE right now & he'll probably now be relegated to mid card status. The WWE had Solid Gold when Seth Rollins came back from his first knee injury & just blew it. They made him a heel when he should have been a face. No idea how Vince & Triple H could have misread that so, so badly. It's killed Seth. Really too bad. Why is Carmela even at WM? She's brutal. Her whole Brooklyn, NY shtick is awful even though she's probably from there. She is built like a 90 lb waif. Buh bye & take that elf Elsworth with her.
  7. Probably the most contrived ever was Macho Man marrying Miss Elizabeth... That was pretty close. The whole angle was leading to Cena's proposal.
  8. I was thinking somewhat the same when the show ran nearly 5 1/2 hours not including the pre-matches. Speaking of pre WM pre-matches, what is the point of pushing Mojo Rawley over Luke Harper in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal? He should be the guy they push now not frigging Rawley.
  9. You mean you didn't shed a tear when Cena proposed to Nikki? I guess Goldberg's run with the WWE is now over.
  10. That last match Undertaker vs Reigns never should have happened. Undertaker just can't do it anymore. UT just stopped moving the longer the match went on. I just wish they'd have let him win his last match instead of losing to Reigns but that wasn't going to happen. If the fans hated Roman before the match, they'll truly hate him 10x more now.
  11. Yeah, that is the way it should be done. Have the section sponsored as well.
  12. Good for the WWE then to give him another shot. I just remember him on Friday Night Smackdown. Just how bad he was & seemed to regress as a wrestler. In some bad storylines & eventually released.
  13. Yeah, I admit that. I certainly won't disagree as what you say is true.
  14. The only thing I'll say is he knew what he was getting into before he was hired salary wise. Cobourne was a player & a coach in the CFL for years. If it was all about the money then perhaps he never should have been a CFL position coach in the first place. If the pay is that bad, which I kind of doubt. Most coaches use these positions to better themselves as they move up the ladder, career wise. Being a successful position coach can lead to coordinator & head coaching opportunities in the years ahead in the pros & college. Most coaches would love to start their careers in the CFL instead of high school, junior college or as Grad Assistants in the NCAA. Just to get to the CFL is a combination of hard work, talent, luck & who you know (connections) for most coaches. Lower paying positions could lead to big paydays in the future. Starting out in the CFL is a tremendous opportunity.
  15. Very disappointed we aren't in the playoffs. How much longer will Jets fans put up with it? Is Chevy under pressure to be active this off season to address team shortcomings? I don't think he can be as inactive as last season. Man, we need defensive help & goaltending.
  16. He wasn't much his first go round.
  17. I have no idea why he left but it sure puts the team at a disadvantage.
  18. They could go to the CIS for a position like this.
  19. He wouldn't have gone to the CFL Combine if he had performed well at his Pro Day.
  20. It would be interesting to really know just how popular (or lack thereof) Trump is with the American people. With his performance so far doesn't a 35% seem rather high?
  21. I'd be ecstatic if they cut Ricky Collins & we picked him up.
  22. Except now I don't argue. Have a nice day.
  23. Don't be so sensitive. I never criticized you. I just made a comment. Grow a thicker skin.
  24. No, I won't make recommendations. Why would you even say that? That's not what I said.
  25. He has family issues with his son that would take precedence. He's never coached at that level before as well as he's in his late 50's or early 60's. There's much more qualified candidates out there.
