  1. Don't forget Ernie "Big Cat" Ladd. He was part if Eddie Graham's Florida wrestling circle for a short time. Not sure where else he wrestled. Ladd never played in CFL, remember him doing Mid-South among others with Bill Watts.
  2. Before that Angelo Mosca parlayed his football fame into a wrestling career
  3. Still trying to find out who's the face or the heel ...
  4. Another thing to remember Dusty , Vince McMahon hated the dude , he gave him the corniest gimmick possible when he worked in WWF (The one where they sent him do these horrible skits and made him wear the outfit with yellow dots) but Rhodes ran with it and deliver the goods. How much did McMahon hated him remember the million dollar gimmick and his lackey Virgil well what is the real name of Dusty Rhodes... you guessed it Virgil ?
  5. ... and the above mentionned Baron works or probably worked as a substitute teacher , guess the kids obeyed when asked to be silent ....
  6. I think Scott was probably referring to the original Nature Boy Buddy Rogers.
  7. His record as a booker is kinda mixed, although he was smart enough not to put himself on him the strap . Must say he was a great heel when he worked with Dick Murdoch when he started.
  8. Jason Sharp solo on baritone sax and Matana Robert doing solo chapter 3 of her Coin coin project, playing loops, doing vocals and alto sax with images screened behind her, not her most convivial project. Overall it was interesting stuff but after a while I was longing for interaction with live people after near two hours of musicians alone on stage .
  9. They basically decided to offer it free to all users who are already on versions of 7 and 8,. I know the previous upgrade was not a resounding success , a lot of negative comments. So to put everybody on the same page they gave you an offer you can't refuse ....
  10. Agreed, must say I'm a Barca fan though another player shined in another final yesterday, Kevin De Bruyne showed his stuff as he led Wolfsburg to a win over Dortmund in the German Cup. I doubt he'll be there for long, expect the Belgian to move to a bigger club during the summer break. Meanwhile FA Cup was even more one sided than expected.
  11. Fat wise it ain't bad but it's not the only element of the equation , check out the sodium level, also have you seen the size of the sandwich in question , pretty sure it is way over the 250 grams which is about 9 ounces. Nutrition Facts Pulled pork, with barbecue sauce Amount Per 1 cup (249 g) Calories 417 % Daily Value* Total Fat 11 g 16% Saturated fat 3.5 g 17% Polyunsaturated fat 1.9 g Monounsaturated fat 4.5 g Trans fat 0 g Cholesterol 87 mg 29% Sodium 1,658 mg 69% Potassium 759 mg 21% Total Carbohydrate 47 g 15% Dietary fiber 3 g 12% Sugar 38 g Protein 33 g 66% Vitamin A 13% Vitamin C 0% Calcium 11% Iron 17% Vitamin D 5% Vitamin B-6 30% Vitamin B-12 16% Magnesium 13%
  12. In the context of trying to eat "healthy" these mofos don't exactly fit the bill
  13. Food wise, thought of one, Pulled pork sandwiches especially those done by one of our food trucks , the name of the restaurant offering these is Pas de cochon dans mon salon , literally no pig in my living room
  14. Nothing to add to the story By the way, we already have a socccer (football ) thread for current affairs instead of using threads about past events
  15. Apparently they are running a contest about who's going to put the ugliest depiction of him, guess the guy ain't photogenic.
  16. The Columbia Pierre Boulez set goes around 62 pounds shipping included for Canucks on Amazon.co.UK,, bit of a shame that our Looney has taken a beating, for the Yanks around here, it's a fine deal if they get the same cheap shipping fees.
  17. Regarding Real, they are rumours that PSG are making a bid to take away CR7 from them.
  18. As a local sport it still does well, for a while in Montreal we had a vibrant scene, in the UK they have a brilliant mix of local fighters having rivalries and guys competing in the upper echelon of the sport.. For following the sport the gray market did help carry the flame as it allowed us access that we never had in the late 70s, 80s and 90s in my case . Personnally I never cared about big names as long as I had a fight or numerous fights with something at stake , not a predictable fight where you could see you had one guy who was clearly there as a jobber it would keep my interest and be watching . But the business is too much about ratio risk/reward so it makes for very conservative matchmaking and not a level field as the moneymakers call all the shots no matter if they are relevant sporting wise or not. Boxing is a capitalist sport for the best and the worst,, why pander to the few smart boxing fans when you can make more money by screwing the numerous naïve ones. Among my favourite fights of the last decade or so I loved Corrales-Castillo I or Monshipour vs Sithchatchawal
  19. As a mainstream sport it did but as a marginal sport it is still alive and kickin' (A bit like jazz in a way) , , but a bit like a flea market you can find a few hidden treasures, in my case I just got tired tired of searching for them through the garbage peddlers
  20. Cover songs , especially when they go far away from the originals, in my collection I have a fondness for a series like Paris Dernière http://www.discogs.com/Various-Paris-By-Night-LInt%C3%A9grale-De-La-Musique-De-Paris-Derni%C3%A8re-En-Sept-Volumes/release/6481101 Besides that, in other spheres than music must admit that I like watching MMA more than I'd like to admit and as a boxing fan I must say they are succeeding where boxing has failed big time.
  21. Real likely blew his last chance to win the title in Spain, CR7 missed a penalty in a wildly entertaining game that ended 2-2 , which means the gap is 4 points between the leaders Bracelona and them. Also the threat of a strike may abort the remains of the season. If the season keeps up Barca has its toughest task next week as they visit 3rd place and defending champs Atletico Madrid, in the last game they'll be receiving Deportivo fighting for survival in the first division. R%eal has an easiest task receiving Getafe and visting Espanyol both teams in the second part of the table and little to play for. As it stands, a win for the side led by Messi and Co will confirm the title for the Catalan side.
  22. Gameday n Montreal , more than 60 000 are expected for the second leg of the final, , am not going to be productive at work today.
  23. It's quite common in football (soccer) when fans have been naughty or teams are sanctionned to play in a empty arena, there was a Russian team that had to play a Champions League game behind closed door because of racists chants in a previous game this year, it makes for an eerie atmosphere must say.
  24. Trevor Watts & Veryan Weston ; enjoyable duet unfortunately in front of a "crowd" of about 20 people.
