I can't help but laugh at the idea of seeing JAM Westerman and JAB Westerman on jerseys next year.

This LaFrance deal (and literally everyone is reporting it, probably because it's more or less a done deal) is really going to depend entirely on the money for me. If the Bombers get good value, I'm all for it. If they pay LaFrance what he wants, they're crazy. He's had literally one good game and it was in a blizzard. I'm not interested in seeing us pay for that.

Way too early to start planning for how you can fill needs through the draft. There's still an entire season of prospect showcases before the draft picture is clear.

Either way, a two sizes too small Tapout shirt and some Walmart jeans was not the best look.

God can HHH cut a promo. It's weird. Going into the final segment, I didn't once think Joe was going to come out. Then as Triple H started talking, the thought came to mind. Then when Seth came out on stage and they kept cutting to that camera angle that they seem to always use when someone runs from backstage to attack a guy on the ramp, I was so sure Joe was going to come out. Then Seth gets down to the ring and just as I was getting disappointed, boom. Really good segment to end the show. HHH is one of the best on the stick, he really knows how to get fans invested in his angles. Samoa Joe vs. Tyler Black at WrestleMania. I like it.

Strowman has sounded pretty good on the stick in the brief glimpses we've had. Plus, his mannerisms and body language are more than enough to carry his character outside of the ring. Cass is just awkward. The Elsworth bump was rough.

Can't see Cass ever being much because he's absolutely horrible on the mic.

It's funny because his first name is Joe too.

Yeah, seems like a solid card. It's really a shame that I look forward more to the RAW after WrestleMania than I do to WrestleMania itself these days. So tired of all these part time guys making the full timers play second fiddle on the biggest show of the year after they carry the company for the rest of the year. So stale.

Man oh man did the ending to the Rumble ever bum me out. Vince has to just be messing with the fans now. Reigns is such a major buzzkill.

A bit surprising, I think he has at least a little left in the tank. I don't see a fit here, but he could be a worthy add somewhere like in Calgary if Federkeil retires.

For a third of the price of their lawyer, I could come up with a defense that is just as reasonable as what he's put out there.

He makes good mad faces.

It's pretty much a lock that he's going to be in the Rumble and I just don't see how you do much in the way of selling him as the monster they want him to be unless he either wins it or gets eliminated in an abnormal way to set up his debut angle.

HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME But seriously, I think Joe is going to win the Rumble.

Oh, I'm certainly not complaining. I just take it in stride nowadays. I think I've gotten soft or something, because nothing really bothers me much anymore.

I don't disagree with what you're saying here, I just find it odd that this is something that you find "funny", seen as how you're more or less the exact same way, only you put a negative spin on everything.

Well ... you're certainly not going to start Demski AND Bagg, seen as how you have Roosevelt, Carter, Holley, Edwards and Collins on the roster. They aren't going to sit two of those guys. Crapigna doesn't count towards your ratio. Gaydosh, well ... good luck. That leaves you with Best, Clark, Francis, St. John, Labatte, Muamba and Bagg. Overall, not bad. But what happens when one of Best/Labatte goes down? Which they will.

We've seen how the "I swear he's not plan A" approach goes. (as an experienced veteran of it, let me tell you: it doesn't go well)

Somewhat underwhelmed but on the bright side, if we were going to recycle DBs from two teams right now, BC and Winnipeg are at the top of the list (with Calgary, as well) for recruiting those spots. Lankford, however ... why bother is my immediate opinion.

Me too, although I don't necessarily know if he's going to have a choice. You'd think with Bighill gone, it's a natural fit but I feel like at this point, if it was going to be an easy signing, it would be done.

Lokombo over Greenwood, please.

Personally, the game day thread works just fine for me. But I can see why those who enjoy the chat room would.

Kluchk isn't Migs, just for the record.
