  1. Not sure if I'd call them reasonable. The Agrodome is a really crappy venue. Not that it really plays into ticket prices, though it should. Though that does seem to be the going rate these days for WWE. That would be my guess. That and the added costs of going to the Island.
  2. The first time I saw media reporting on it was about a year before it hit the $1000 mark. So it was definitely profitable at that time. You are somewhat right about mining when the media took a good hard look at it, but there were still ways to get Bitcoin through the mining process with a decent ROI. Even now the re-sale market for miners is crazy. People are still willing to spend a lot of money on miners that are long outdated. I ended up selling all mine except for one of the original USB ones I used. Likely should have just got into buying and selling but I liked the concept of mining and the challenge of doing it. I'm not all that computer literate. The majority came from trading. Though I was always paranoid about trading on the exchanges until I came across Carvirtex, now Kraken. You're likely right about it crashing if those people start cashing all their coins in for money. I can't see the exchanges being able to cover it all. Only time will tell. I also own a bunch of Litecoin which I bought with money when it was trading around $6 bucks. Wish I would have got on the Ethereum train. Trading at $220 now. Was trading at $8 bucks at the beginning of the year.
  3. Not as many as I wish I had if I'd paid attention. Considering my ROI though. I'm doing rather well.
  4. I remember as well. I blew it off when I first heard about it. Didn't care to take the time and learn about it. Figured it was a scam. Didn't help that the media reporting it at the time had a very negative view of it. Didn't really get into it when this thread was made.
  5. I've been a huge fan of The Bollywood Boys for years now. Watching them wrestle in ECCW and in ASW. It's pretty cool seeing them make it to WWE though I do miss seeing them wrestle locally. Though perhaps we may get to see them wrestle in NXT. NXT Wrestling Presented by WWE Live July 13, 2017 PNE Agrodome NXT Wrestling presale starts now!

  6. Apparently he was active 8 hours ago. It's funny I had so many call me an idiot when I bought into the mining and started mining Bitcoin. Even more when I started trading Bitcoin and Litecoin on Cavirtex, now Kraken. I'm not much into reveling but I do like to point out how good it's doing from time to time.
  7. Here is the article regarding El P heading to the UK: http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/el-phantasmo-eccw-uk-wrestling-dream
  8. Perhaps. The guy deserves a shot. He is an awesome in ring worker. Any match he is in is usually the match of the night.
  9. El Phantasmo 18 hrs · Full announcement not quite ready.. buuut it's end of week sooo May 26 @ASWCANADA + May 27 @ECCW will be my last Canadian dates for 2017... Have to wonder where El P where be heading. Can't see WWE, perhaps Mexico?
  10. Yep. Jericho is off to tour with his band Fozzy. Here is the website for Canuck Pro Wrestling: http://www.canuckpro.com/ Some pretty insane cards in Calgary and Langley. Tickets are pricey though. With the talent on the cards, still worth it IMO.

  12. Interesting. I've seen El Phantasmo and Brian Cage put on a hell of a match at The Commodore Ballroom. Cobb has wrestled Kenny Lush twice recently in Cloverdale. Seeing the other 2 is intriguing. Any links to the shows? I can't seem to find any.
  13. No. Haven't really been paying attention to any Wresting lately. What am I missing?
  14. Bitcoin trading at over $2000 Canadian $1500 American
  15. Unless they leave WWE, I doubt they will ever wrestle in ECCW again. When they did though, they were definitely not heels. Take a look at their entrance at The Commodore:
  16. I'm going to assume you've never seen them in ECCW then?
  17.

  18. Just watching Global. Housing prices up 10% or more across the lower mainland for Q1. Though not surprising. It all still comes down to supply and demand.
  19. So... I learned something from MLS tonight. Some "Men" have 2 pony tails... ?
  20. Roof will be open tonight at BC Place. May have to watch just to see.
  21. Watching AJ say that he built Smackdown makes me wish The Rock was still around. Now that would have ripped the roof off the dump. Perhaps a story line down the road. The Rock vs. AJ Styles.
