I'm a bit surprised that he couldn't find work as a vet backup.

Jones definitely has the drawing power for anyone who has watched the UFC casual or hardcore. Compared to Brock not even close to being as popular for a non UFC fan. Lesnar definitely sells more PPVs then he will.

Perhaps Kane can also come back with:

I read an article recently of Chevy being desperate to go back to work. I can't really think of anything aside from a grumpy old men remake? Maybe a sequel to Vacation with Ed Helms?

What an absolute joke.

Not a good time for Petan to miss out...

Anyone except Jason Sensation apparently... listened briefly to his interviews after his fake shooting up live show stunt and apparently they won't speak to him....

I do feel a bit bad as I watched a recent interview with Perry Saturn and he looks really really bad and clearly has head trauma. But in the same instance these guys knew what they signed up for.

Is this the lawsuit that the Greek lawyer (name escapes me) who recruited around 100 old timey wrestlers to sign up for? To me it was just a massive list of fringe guys trying to get an easy pay day. Most of those guys like Bill Eadie and Animal all had axes to grind and other reasons for why they hate the WWE ....

I've only skimmed this thread... but no one actually thinks the guy is smug IRL do they??

What's the odds of us losing twice to Saskatchewan and then to lose to Johnny Manziel... no possible way that we could set the trifecta of all humiliating losses!

The difference is that JM actually likes playing in Winnipeg and more then likely will be the safer long term bet between the two of them.

I completely agree with this. Masoli IMO seems to have massive horse shoes up his ar$e so many times he's running for his life only to dart a ball 25 yards down field to a receiver who makes a great grab.

Do you put more of our woes on Matt or Lapo?

I'll buy one once they go on massive clearance sale price ..

Can't comment aside from the Ottawa game I went to. He had wide open guys and did not look to them and ended up tossing into double coverage. The 5 int's from last game clearly shows that he is missing by quite a bit!

I don't see how Nichols missing wide open guys is because of Dressler... also Harris running for 150 is a guy slowing down and worn out? I see wide open players in w hich Nichols does not see and/or is not hitting them on target. No idea how this is Lapo's fault?

I think the fact of having to extend the drive to and from work by a large chunk of time will over ride the supposed 10 million extra to fix it.

The general sentiment from reading in various places and talking to people it seems very pro No. I've seen the other polls which were closer to 80-90 for closing and I believe that is a more accurate picture.

I thought they brought him in because he's good buddies with Hellebuyck and he put in the good word? I would also never question the judgment in our scouts since they seem to rarely make a miss.

The question is.... would it be worth promoting a show like that in Winnipeg? Would it be able to draw a big crowd? Would it be popular enough to draw people in from Minneapolis or even Alberta/Saskatchewan?

Walmart used to only have the old person greeting at the front as studies showed that having someone making eye contact with a potential thief will scare off a large amount of them. On Regent it used to be like that until the last year or so where now they have a security guard checking bags and keeping an eye. I know that I used to see a lot of people who would come in from downtown and would run out with bottles of hairspray, mouthwash , whatever other solvents they could get their hands on with zero regards.

The WFX place had nice sightlines but I would imagine it would only fit 500 comfortably. It was a nice set up since they had large hall ways and a few other rooms which were good for meeting the wrestlers and selling some food. Convention Center easily could hold it, I went to many Kickboxing and MMA shows and the place has everything that you would need. I'd imagine the biggest issue is the price which is not cheap at all. I also agree with sightlines... lots of tables need to be sold. The U of M place I went to for to see Kenny Omega vs Dan Severn and Billy Kidman and Lex Luger had great sight lines... that place would be the ideal venue I'd think.

Quebec City is much more francophone / xenophobic / anti-English then Montreal. I think Montreal could hire a non French coach without everyone rioting... Nordiques on the other hand it would definitely sour the fans to a point where they would boycott.

This thread makes me sad... people suggesting Taman was good for scouting Canadian talent? Really? I understand the team is stinking it up... but our Canadian talent is probably the best in the league and we are suggesting firing Walters? How about instead of doing that we hire someone with good connections and/or a database not on a napkin and things will be ok. As much as we make fun of Murphy / Kelly era at least Murphy had some good imports (receivers) that could play right away in a shitty confusing offense.
