  1. I feel like they overthought this one. They didn't want another failed cash-in after they did it with Corbin. And they didn't want Asuka's first loss to be in a MitB cash-in. So Charlotte beats Asuka for a respectable first loss and Carmella cashes in on Charlotte. It seems silly to me to have this big undefeated run for Asuka and she never even wins the title. The first loss should have come after a lengthy title reign. I personally am not a big Asuka fan but they wasted that opportunity. Carmella is simply unbearable but she won't be champ for long.
  2. Harkins struggled with the Moose this year but put up 6 points in 6 games in the ECHL when he went down. He's only 20 and I think the pro game has been a little intimidating so far. There is still lots of potential there, IMO.
  3. 0/2! Lol!
  4. No Way Jose is awful. He'll be a joke for a year then disappear. Huge fan of Ember Moon. She should be in contention for the RAW women's title right away. With Balor, Miz, Rollins and potentially Jeff Hardy now involved in the IC title feud, that title may carry the most prestige in WWE right now. That feud is hot, hot, hot. They need to push Roman to the sidelines for a bit. He needs to disappear for awhile. His reputation is just too broken. Put Lashley, Joe, Lesnar, and Braun together in some sort of 4-way feud for the Universal Title. $$$.
  5. You completely missed the point. Matthews is obviously a legend and even he didn't win the Grey Cup in 17 of his 22 seasons. He went 1/5 in stops in Montreal and BC. That doesn't mean he was a bad coach and needed to be fired in those non Cup years, just like MOS and Walters don't need to be fired now. The point is not to diminish Matthews' accomplishments but to put them in perspective. He had several years that looked just like what MOS put on the field in 2016-17. It doesn't mean he wasn't great in those years just like 2 playoff losses don't mean that MOS can't take us to the cup.
  6. Look at the teams Don Matthews won Grey Cups with... the Baltimore Stallions and the Flutie Argos. If you're firing coaches because they can't achieve that level of dominance in today's CFL, you'll never be satisfied. Outside of those teams he won one Grey Cup in five years with BC and one Grey Cup in five years with Montreal. No Cups elsewhere. To say his teams won consistently is just revisionist history. He is one of the greatest coaches in CFL history and he won five cups in 22 seasons as a head coach. I guess in those other 17 years he just forgot how to coach.
  7. There is a lot of luck that goes into winning the Grey Cup... gotta get healthy and hot at the right time. So all you really have to do is play well enough to secure a playoff spot and then hope for the best. People don't like to hear that but it is reality. As long as we're getting into the playoffs I would never fire Walters/O'Shea.
  8. Braun Strowman and Nicholas new tag champs. Now I've seen everything.
  9. Thought Ronda looked incredibly strong. Great match.
  10. Shocking finish in the Charlotte - Asuka match!
  11. Yeah? You think the NHL making some decree would stop every smartass on Twitter from saying "well that's actually a Phoenix/Atlanta record..."?
  12. There's really nothing that can be done about it. The Coyotes used to be the Jets and the Jets used to be the Thrashers. There's nothing True North or TSN or the NHL can do to change the past and make people stop talking about it.
  13. Agreed... may not play again til as late as Friday. But Wednesday at the earliest... plenty of time for rest.
  14. Can't have Asuka lose yet... just can't. The mystique is there for people who followed her in NXT but she needs a longer undefeated run in WWE still. Brock beating Roman would be such a huge swerve... people wouldn't know how to react. Everyone has "known" Roman is beating Brock for a year now. I'd love to see it.
  15. I agree with pretty much all of this except I think Nia might beat Alexa and Rollins wins the IC title. Bludgeon Brothers win the Smackdown tag titles. Elias wins the men's battle royal if he is in it. Lana wins the women's battle royal with shenanigans. Carmella cashes in after Asuka wins the title but Asuka beats her anyways. Rusev wins the US title.
  16. I may have given them one more game but it's true, you don't want your veterans to get rusty on the bench and come back for game 1.
  17. Cheapest beer in Canada and Ottawa fans still can't be bothered to show up. And then they blame the owner for all their problems.
  18. I didn't get much sleep last night. Probably best for me to avoid posting much more today
  19. Frankly there is something a little "off" with that team and I commend their GM for recognizing that, despite an okay record, this wasn't going to be their year. So they got a first round pick and in all likelihood will get Stastny back as well.
  20. Ya let's not underestimate the stupidity of fans. Back to back 50 point seasons and there were probably plenty of cross-eyed morons complaining about Toby being too small and yelling "SHOOT!" every time the team had the puck.
  21. Until it doesn't work and the team gets shelled and everyone says "well we needed that game, why were we playing all our pressbox guys?"
  22. This team is so ******* good
  23. North American Championship? What's this for? Just another midcard title... or something like the UK championship? Or does this replace the US Title? Anyways I think it looks okay. I hate how "standardized" all the belts have become... they all look the damn same! Maybe but the guys on the pre-show probably wouldn't have a place on the main show so they can complain about performing in front of less people or they can complain about sitting in the back doing nothing.
  24. They NEED Gibson to be healthy if they want a real shot.
  25. It's kinda funny because the numbers (aside from the 7-0-0) really aren't that impressive. Oh well... just win baby!
