No gaijin has ever won the G1 before so it'll be interesting to see if Omega goes over.

I had thought you were slightly different than most Rider fans until this. If you don't think Dunk is credible, you should stick to drinking up Rod Pedersen's green kool aid.

So you're saying his chances of making the Skins is pretty low?

If you read the replies to Mccormick's tweet, even rider fans knew there was something going on with extra players. One tweet (which went out before BLM tweeted about it) says as much.

It might not have Ritter or Mack, but a grown-up Thurman Merman is back for the sequel. Some of his scenes with Billy Bob still crack me up.

I feel the same way but I'll still watch the sequel. I just have zero expectations that it will be anywhere near as good as the first.

The lobotomy must have gone better than expected.... it actually gave him a personality instead of taking one away.

I think drinking is right up there too.

The game neither team wants to win because it means the "winner" takes on either the US or France while the "loser" gets Sweden or Brazil.

Add another bronze to the list.

Joey Kocur

Here's a list of his tweets from earlier this year. Some of them have since been deleted.

Coming into the games, Canada had a good shot at a medal so it wasn't a huge shock. Getting bronze was nice though since they had lost to GB in the prelims.

Andrew Harris

It's 100% unconfirmed but it was cro cop himself who released that image so it has people speculating. He's listed as being in the main event against a undetermined opponent so it could just be him trying to push for that fight.

I'd guess Jim Kyte will fill that role. They did throw down once back in the day.

Knees to the head will never happen... hell heel kicks to the kidney (from guard) just finally got reinstated and even that took years and had to be fought for. The only thing the yellow card system did was save Pride money. Fighters still stalled just as they do/did under the unified rules. They'll do whatever the ref let's them get away with. Better entrances would be nice though.

He's finally getting the credit he always wanted.

The new HC jersey actually looks like a mix between an Oilers jersey and the old jets one with the stripes on the arms & bottom.

The sport has changed way too much for a company to ever duplicate Pride. The UFC's virtual monopoly on the best fighters will stop any company from achieving that kind of status. Except for a handful of fights, the best Rizin will be able to do is throwback fights like this one or freak show fights.

Every time the Riders lose, I think of this and smile.

Hervey said it was the other way around. The assistants were all jumping ship so he decided not to pay them. Either way, Jones rewarded their loyalty and paid them the money that Edmonton refused to.

For those longing for the return of Pride (Brandon I'm looking at you!), Rizin is apparently putting on fedor/cro cop 2 next month.

Time to necro this thread. A few people (myself included) were worried about the opening stretch but now that it's over, I'm OK with where we're at. One point out of 1st place in the West is probably much better than most people expected.

Technically Yogi broke the streak with his post on the Hamilton game. His title doesn't indicate a loss either... it just says blowout against Hamilton.
