elizium Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 It's a balmy -19C right now, not bad since it was -35C with the wind chill when I walked to my barber yesterday morning. Truly God's country 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must have been one of his demands when he took over more roles post-Brawl Out. I'm honestly not surprised we got one of the early Canadian Dynamites, but I was thinking maybe late 23-early 24. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I was gonna guess that it'd been well over a decade since WWE taped there, but the reality that there was a gap from '05 to '20 also makes sense. Hopefully Jericho and Omega and Callis take it upon themselves to put y'all back on the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltzer is now disputing this, saying they had an idea for him and he shot it down so they moved on with their plans and are currently coming up with new stuff for Miro. If I’m reading it right, Miro was going to be in Ethan Page’s position as the guy who wins and talks a lot, but is ultimately the guy that hears up the next title challenger (Starks). Could be wrong on it tho, since, y’know, it’s Meltzer typing on his message board so… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 You know, it seems to me that AEW lost its way a bit right around the same time Best Friends stopped being featured in feuds that culminate in bad ass TV main events. Go fix that. Heart and soul of the promotion. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphman 3000 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Quote In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted that Jon Moxley and Renee Paquette were “really sick” prior to the December 7th 2022 (Moxley’s birthday) edition of AEW Dynamite. Meltzer wrote the following… “She missed TV [Tony Schiavone did all of the interview segments] and he was feeling really bad the day before, but went to TV because he knew he was supposed to be there for the [William] Regal stuff and the story of them keeping the BCC [Blackpool Combat Club] together as a group.” According to Meltzer, Moxley was asked on Wednesday to wrestle Konosuke Takeshita for Rampage as AEW President Tony Khan is trying to strengthen the show. Moxley agreed and people were said to been “thrilled” with how the match turned out.

I certainly agree with you in principle, but on the other hand, it's not like it's COVID. Regular shit is just going around again like it used to. I could be way off, but this seems no different to me than working in an office where someone has a cold (or worse, being trapped in a classroom with 30 sick kids). Again, I agree that no one, in any business, should feel pressured to work if they aren't doing well - but for me, something about this seems a little sensationalized Edit: Maybe it's just a shift in public consciousness since COVID.

If so, I'll happily retract my previous post, I just (maybe wrongly, maybe rightly) figured we were talking about a standard cold here (also no fun, but not a show-stopper). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently one of the markets that got hit really bad by the Spectrum Cable outage was Buffalo, during a Sabres game where their young breakout star put up four goals in the first period. So yeah those numbers are just weird weird and aren't the best to go on. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midwest Olive Garden Manager Fired After Intense Crackdown on Call-Offs Quote A manager at an Olive Garden in Kansas has been fired after allegedly sending out a letter to employees detailing an aggressive new sick-leave policy. The strongly-worded message sent to the employees at the Overland Park Olive Garden appeared to show sweeping changes to the restaurant's sick leave policy. Part of the letter obtained by a local station reads: "We are no longer tolerating ANY excuse for calling off. If you’re sick, you need to come prove it to us. If your dog died, you need to bring him in and prove it to us. If it's a 'family emergency' and you can’t say, too bad. Go work somewhere else." The letter goes on to say that any employee that calls in sick more than once within the next 30 days will be terminated. At the end of the letter, the manager said that they hoped all employees would continue to work there while thanking the employees who come in on time, saying, "I wish there were more like you." In a statement to NBC 5, Darden Restaurants, the parent company of Olive Garden, confirmed the chain parted ways with the manager Edited December 9, 2022 by Dolphman 3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flu is the straw you're grasping for. You certainly aren't going to turn anyone on to your weird hate boner cult by acting like Mox is a prick for being to asked to work through the flu when we all have to do that. Your gimmick is wearing thin on me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
