And the worst part is that was probably the most winnable fight they could have made for him.

I have to think this was the case for some of the cuts. There were a few guys that played well enough for a roster spot but got caught up in a numbers game. Wouldn't be surprised to see some of them find a home somewhere else.

NJPW is just starting their move into the North American market and looking at how many gaijin title holders they have now, they are taking it seriously. Up until recently, they've haven't really ever catered to the fans here and yet they still have a decent fan base. It's going to be interesting to see how much it'll grow going forward.

Anyone else get up super early to watch NJPW Dominion? Well worth it, especially the main event.

Nah, he doesn't care. I don't think I've ever seen him admit to being wrong, even when it turns out he was no where close to the truth.

I would too except it's Kavis running the show over there so anything is possible.

He was brought in when the practice roster expanded but was released when the 30 day window closed. He was still on our neg list though because we traded his rights to Toronto.

Oh no? The Blue Bombers were founded in 1930 as the Winnipeg Football Club, which remains the organization's legal name today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg_Blue_Bombers

Only win Punk will be getting this week! Lol

Stevie Baggs?

Correct. All teams knew prior to the draft, that his intent was to go back to school. From Kyle Walters: He’s going to go back to Montreal for his last year because he wants to finish his degree. It’s more like a futures pick.

Who's talking about him starting? Having a decent camp and fighting for a starting spot are 2 different things.

Agree, she does Danaerys fairly well but outside of that role she hasn't shown much. She also wasn't even the 1st choice for GOT - another actress played the role for an un-aired pilot and Clarke only got cast when the original declined to come back to do re-shoots.

New Street Fighter character coming out soon. Not that big of a deal in itself but the guy playing him in the video looks oddly familiar. 😉

Yes, John Hackleman will still be training/cornering Chuck. A few weeks ago people started speculating about a Liddell return & Hackleman was interviewed about it & he said he's in - if the opponent was right (ie a cash grab fight with Tito where Chuck doesn't really stand a chance of getting seriously hurt).

Yeah most of the time I would think the players aren't caught completely off guard like the Bombers were in this case. Usually there's rumblings that the team is looking at either moving/cutting a guy before a bonus is due, or like you said the team tries to re-work the deal.

Some nice fights tonight. Lomachenko did his thing again, Vitor got retired in spectacular fashion by Machida, Bader wiped out King Mo and the nights not even over yet!

Won't even make it to rookie camp!

FYP

Not sure if this is the case anymore. Walters touched on this type of thing in one of his recent interviews about Simonise. He admitted that earlier in his GM career he tended to play it say with the guys he would take on. Now he feels like the locker room is strong enough to handle guys who might have some baggage & keep them in check.

Bowman is a good example for Simonise to follow. Bowman had to learn that just using his physical gifts aren't enough & that he still had to put in work to be successful. Hopefully he's able to pass that on to Simonise.

I don't think Gamora is finished. The comics give them away to keep her around with the Soul Stone. It's also a way they can introduce Adam Warlock to the MCU without doing a huge back story on him.
