  1. In your example, Kimbo would be picture one, not 2. Picture 2 would be more like CFC unless you don't consider that part of the mma industry since most of those guys won't make it anywhere either. Same goes for the CFL, most guys will never even get a sniff of the NFL. Most minor leagues (whether or not it's wrestling, mma, hockey whatever) are filled with guys who will never make to the upper echelon, but it doesn't mean they aren't a part of that particular sport/industry.
  2. A backyard promotion and a legitimate indy promotion are 2 different things. This is backyard wrestling: This is indy wrestling See the difference?
  3. I've been and enjoyed it. It would probably be my regular theatre if it was closer to home.
  4. This is correct. You want the "fat" PS3 with 4 usb ports to play PS2 games. Battlefront 2 is on the list of PS2 games that will work with that PS3. You can jailbreak your PS3 if you don't have that model... but doing that can get you banned from the Playstation Network.
  5. That system might work for some but I doubt I would ever use, not at those prices anyway. There's usually only 2 or 3 of us when I go to the movies so the cost of The Screening Room wouldn't make sense for me. Plus I like getting out of the house for a couple hours to enjoy a movie... when I watch movies at home there's always some kind of distraction.
  6. Paul has been linked to this movie for a few years now and he really wants to be in it. He's had several meetings with the producers and directors in the past as well but there's been multiple changes on that end so the current director may have other ideas. Matthew McConaughey & Idris Elba have already been confirmed for the movie.
  7. Looked like War Machine takes a bit of a beating in that trailer.
  8. Yep, was on our PR for 9 days last October. I wonder if he was let go for NFL opportunities since he ended up working out & signing with Denver a couple months later.
  9. Bombers add receiver Jace Davis. 6'1, 210 lbs. Spent some time with Baltimore & Houston. Denver signed him to a futures contract in January but that obviously didn't go anywhere if he's with us now. http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/03/10/bombers-add-receiver-jace-davis/
  10. Maricopa County in Arizona would rank higher as a place not to get busted... just ask Khabibulin!
  11. Not only will he be 76 by the time the season rolls around, it's not exactly like he was putting together great teams when he was managing teams. He had 1 winning season as a GM & his career record is 66 wins vs 111 losses for an amazing .372 winning percentage. Maybe he'll be a better scout than GM though...
  12. They cut the price down slightly ($14 for the pair) if you get both bundles. I hope they keep those same prices when the time comes for the complete pick & pay. Individual channels now are $3 and up so it makes more sense to get the bundles. For me, I'd be cutting everything but the sports channels so I could live with only paying around $20 plus my internet.

    They can still re-sign Angle if they can agree on something, regardless of him working this show. This is a one time event from what I understand not an on-going thing so it's not like Angle is now tied up long term or something. TNA has, at least in the past, allowed their workers to take indy bookings even while under contract. TUP has booked quite a few guys to work his shows here while they were still working for TNA (although from what I've heard/read that might need a thread of it's own! ).

    Conflict of interest? Seriously? These aren't NHL players where there's a collective agreement all parties have to follow. They are independent contractors who are lining up more work after their current gig is up. TNA had him under contract until a certain date, what he does after that is (and when he made those arrangements) is his business not theirs. Do you think construction companies can't/don't line up their next job until their current one is finished?

    The Nate/GSP stuff is coming straight from GSP's coach so it could very well happen.
  16. Oops, read it too fast. That makes more sense, I was wondering how he had that many games/starts in the NFL when he was only drafted in 2013!
  17. Bombers add another o-lineman: http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/03/09/bombers-add-offensive-lineman/ Travis Bond, 6'6 329 lbs, a 7th round pick by Minnesota in 2013 with 51 NFL games (29 starts) under his belt.
  18. Lawless was saying the same thing basically. It might be an over-payment at first, but it can become a steal after that and you have him locked up until he's 30. He was also saying that being a small market team, they need to "win" a couple cap friendly contracts like that if they want to be competitive.
  19. Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 921(a)(16) defines antique firearms as all guns made prior to 1899. This law exempts antique firearms from any form of gun control or special engineering because they are not legally considered firearms.
  20. No, you have it backwards. You can buy an antique gun without a permit, that's why they verify the age. Too new means more time and paperwork and hassle for a pawn shop.

    He's been doing boxing & mma commentary since 2014 I believe.

    Just going to put this here since the other MMA threads have been buried. Vyron Phillips (a Minnesota native who moved to Winnipeg to train) is going to be boxing Roy Jones Jr on March 20th. Phillips won a contest that was originally supposed to be RJJ against an average fan but the commission said the contest winner needed a pro fighting record. Vyron will definitely be the underdog but I'm not so sure he doesn't have a chance against a way past his prime RJJ. He's a pretty good athlete (went to university on a basketball scholarship) with heavy hands and huge reach (like Jon Jones type reach). It's an interesting card that combines boxing, mma, grappling & wrestling including the following match-ups: Tank Abbott vs Dan Severn (MMA), Chael Sonnen vs Michael Bisping (grappling) & Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio (wrestling). Jim Ross will be doing the color commentary for the card http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/3/8/11177856/roy-jones-jr-opponent-announced-ur-fight-sonnen-bisping-tank-abbott-dan-severn
  23. New poster for X-men: Apocalypse I'm definitely looking forward to this one.
  24. They've used white ropes since at least 2010. They've gone back & forth but apparently Kevin Dunn think's white is more professional.
  25. One was good too... it's the 3rd that sucked.
