  1. Yes but Toronto and BC have a huge advantage with quality of life compared to Saskatchewan..
  2. I found after Zack and Miri and after he lost weight and tried to become mr weed man he has been absolutely god awful. The original movies were great though, low brow humour but they had good stories and some really good jokes.
  3. Adarius Bowman and Chris Matthews were also players that were 100% committed and once ready will make a big impact with the club as per O'Shea.... I don't read to much into this.
  4. Well it at least cemented that Bischoff was a one hit wonder / fraud .... should of gave creative to Heyman and hire someone who can handle money....
  5. Arbuckle was leaving no matter what.... if they can get two great picks then that's fantastic.
  6. Clearly Niku is in the dog house for whatever reason it is.
  7. 1st overall and a 3rd round pick for a back up qb.... great trade by Calgary.
  8. I would assume that the qb coach wouldn't have much in the say of if we are bringing back Nichols or Zach. I'm surprised that Pierce hasn't been promoted as of yet. Perhaps they are looking at someone else at OC....
  9. Based on his stats from last season it seemed like he either puts up a monster game or terrible numbers. We will see how he adapts to a new system...
  10. I'm absolutely thrilled that New England lost today!! Finally the dynasty ends!
  11. I thought Bryant is a free agent?
  12. Spiderverse was visual candy, I haven't been as dazzled by the visuals of a movie since Speed Racer. And yes I said DAZZLED
  13. Just use discord... Its better.
  14. Adams is a great depth receiver... Not going to pay him as a #1 guy though.
  15. If we retain Nichols , I wouldn't say it's the end of the world because we still have most of our o line and a great RB.
  16. Crappy that WJ will be gone.... that's a huge loss....
  17. It's almost as if he was an inexperienced QB and needs time to grow
  18. Why would he regret going in on the best qb in the league? Proven QB over a guy who did play well for a stretch of 5 games.... the safer bet would be to stick with BLM
  19. Terrible with Durant also! Also terrible with a healthy Nichols!
  20. For myself what was the draw for me with the WWE was the personalities of the wrestlers more so the scripts given to them. Everything just seems so forced and wooden on WWE these days.
  21. Totally unrelated.... I tried sending you a private message and the site said that you could not receive any private messages.... maybe check to see if you got it because I sent a long winded message. Back to topic - I'd say in the 80's everyone knew who Hogan, Savage, Ultimate Warrior and Andre the Giant were. Even a lot of the secondary talent was quite popular such as Hillbilly Jim, Rick Rude, Beefcake, Million Dollar Man etc.... 90's - Bret Hart, Stone Cold, Goldberg, Undertaker, The Rock.... 00's - Lesnar, Cena , Bastista... 10's - ???? The NFL is on a downswing of popularity (while the NBA is scooping up all the eyes) and I'd say I see more jerseys of football players then Bullet Club or Wyatt shirts..... I'd also say the Super Bowl ratings kind of still prove that EVERYONE still watches the big game. Not just football fans. Going back to UFC everyone knew who GSP and Rousey were.... hence why they started getting roles in mainstream movies like Fast and the Furious and Captain America. Wrestling appears to be at it's lowest so clearly it won't become a huge hit over night again... but as what one of those Cornette videos said near the end.... if they keep doing corny stupid **** then how can they expect to regain all the lost wrestling fans from the glory days.
  22. Maybe some guys value loyalty and a greater chance at winning the cup?
  23. I'll stick with the mainstream conversation. I guess interpretation of what mainstream is would differ based on what the metric is. I wouldn't even use being on national television as mainstream mainly because the younger generation does not have cable and a large margin stream (legally or illegally) all programming. I'm not sure how it is in your circle of friends or co workers but for me it kind of crazy on how many people have Kodi boxes these days. I don't know how any company can measure anything with so many people streaming. When I was referring to mainstream, I was referring to it being popular among the general public. It's alarming that WWE has to bring in guys from the past to get a cheap rating bump because so few of the young guys they groomed have broken into main stream. Aside from Batista and Cena has anyone made it big in the last 15 years? I wouldn't count Ronda Rousey since UFC was the one who popularized her. AEW has a long way to go to break it mainstream when guys like Omega become house hold names. Sure these guys are making nice careers and selling good merch.... but it's nowhere near the level of 1998 Steve Austin / NWO / DX shirts which you would see absolutely everywhere. Lets use UFC for example.... the brand is mainstream to a point that people refer to Mixed Martial Arts as UFC. But the star power has dwindled massively over the last few years to a point where they are still trying to cling that one nugget of lightning that they hit when Mayweather put over McGregor. They are practically begging GSP to come out of retirement again because at this point almost all of their champions / bigger stars are not mainstream. Nobody has a hot clue who Kamaru Usman , Israel Adesanya, Alexander Volkanski are.... UFC are still profitable and are on big time tv with Fox.... but they are on a downward trend with ratings and PPV sales which doesn't make it look good for the future. Rome wasn't build in one day , but AEW has a mountain to climb before they hit mainstream.... if ever?
  24. Agree to disagree
  25. Also I'd assume the comfort level of playing with a group of guys he knows in a system he's comfortable with in comparison to going to Ottawa or Toronto where he starts off fresh and playing on a potential dumpster fire of a team.
