Dear Vince, Stephanie and Hunter, First let me apologize for my rant last night on Russo on Raw. I’m Italian, I’m emotional, I’m sorry I get that way sometimes. Come to think of it, you probably witnessed it first hand in a galaxy far, far away—many light years ago. The truth is—I hate to criticize RAW. I really do. Having been there and done that, I realize how difficult it is to come up with two hours of compelling content every week – let alone three. The job is not easy, I understand that, and nobody can be criticized for TRYING and giving their BEST EFFORT—nobody. But . . . the question I have to ask is: “Is what we see every Monday Night honestly and truly your best effort? I just know that having worked with all three of you in the past, I don’t think any of us would have been satisfied, or even ALLOWED last night’s show to air in its final form. Are we seriously not better than that? What happened to our mantra during the Attitude Era when this week’s show was going to be better than last weeks? Remember that, Vince? I don’t know what it is. I don’t know the structure, because I am not there, but nobody—NOBODY—can tell me that with a bit more effort you couldn’t be doing better than what WE THE PEOPLE are being exposed to every Monday Night. Look—we all love wrestling, we are all HUGE fans of the WWE and in all truthfulness—WE WANT TO LIKE THE SHOW!!! But, you just make it so difficult. Asking anybody to sit through three hours of what you’re currently putting on the air is not only asking too much . . .but, it’s also unfair. Look, I’m not going to tell you what to do, or how to do it, who am I? All I’m asking is that you all ask each other—is this the best that World Wrestling Entertainment has to offer its fans? If the answer is yes, that I guess I’ve just over-rated you, however, I think we all know that’s not the answer. I don’t think any of you can walk away from that building on Monday night honestly believing that you had just put your best foot forward. I don’t believe that for a second. Right now, you have an UNBELIEVABLE talent roster, up and down from first match to main event, but the writing and producing of the show is just not serving them justice. You have to know that. What happened to the work ethic and the commitment that we all shared during the Attitude Era? What happened to that passion, when we literally used to leave our own BLOOD, SWEAT and TEARS on the script that we wrote. If something didn’t exceed our expectations we were sick over it for days—I know I was. Vince, Stephanie, Triple H, YES we will always be here no matter what. We support you, and we support the WWE, but the truth is . . . we deserve better. And, deep down inside I know that you know that. With 1,000% sincerity. Peace, Your Former Head Writer Vince Russo Read more at http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/wwe/Vince_Russo_Writes_Open_Letter_to_The_McMahon_Family_In_Regards_to_WWE_Storylines.html#BDzHBwWPVYcbITAu.99 -
They should have 3 or 5 officials watch the play a few times and then submit their call, regardless of the call on the field. Whichever gets the most votes, stands. I'm sure the right call would be made more than it is now.

Any Nicole Matthews fans here? -
I was at the game, the fans weren't cheering that he got injured, we were cheering for Lulay to finally come in. Painful game to watch. Jumped out to the quick lead and with the field position Logan and Brown were giving us, we should have won. D looked weak on the long ball against the Riders, good thing they dropped a few. Glenn was awful after the first quarter. Coach B waited far too long to put Lulay in. So painful to watch Glenn sit in the pocket as it collapses around him waiting to throw the ball and gets dropped for a sack. Also, the run up the middle and the short passes. Not gonna win many games with 200 yards total offense. O line did a good job considering. D ran out of gas, but you have to give it to them, they held the Riders to one TD. What could have been without that single near the end and that lucky bounce on the one Saskatchewan field goal. Not sure why Scmitt was kicking to try and pin Sask. deep on the punts, McCallum shoul get the call on thos still. Nice to see almost 34,000 in the stands, wish it was like that again normally. I'll give kudos to the Riders fans in our section, pretty well behaved for a change, LOL! Some real stupid penalties again this game, Lions need to smarten up. Gonna be tough to make the playoffs, the 2 games against Winnipeg are gonna be HUGE! Regarding the guaranteed win:

If Angle doesn't return, thats crap! It just proves though that HHH is no better than Vince when it comes to treating talent. Angle is clean and I'd say he deserves one last run in WWE. I'd kill to see a Dudleys, vs. Shield feud. Throw The Wyatts into the mix. -
Looks like it's only for the 4 remaining games. As a season ticket holder free tickets aren't gonna cut it. I'd like to see a credit for next years seasons tickets, not tickets to games I already have tickets for. Ballsy move though, it's gonna fire up the Riders, that for sure.

So Impact is on Wednesday now? Interesting to see The Hardys and The Dudleys in the ring again. Jeff in the face paint is cheapening it though. -

Glad I managed to catch most of the Lesnar/Cena match after the Lions game. That was awesome to watch!!! -
RONNIE YELL!
-
Got tired of sitting on practice rosters and being bounced around would be my guess. He would rather play on a regular basis than make more money.

My buddy is an Argos fan and even he says that the Lions are getting screwed out there.

Another fine effort for the officials tonight.

I bet it has something to do with the CRTC and their ridiculous regulations. We're just gonna have to wait to see how this plays out, but i doubt it will be anything decent. -

Impact Wrestling Cancelled By Spike TV 7/27/2014 8:57 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF EXCLUSIVE TNA Wrestling's flagship show "Impact Wrestling" could soon be without a home -- Spike TV quietly let the league know it's not renewing their TV contract … TMZ has learned. Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the deal ... tell us Spike execs contacted TNA President Dixie Carter late last week to break the news -- and the following day Carter informed members of her inner circle. TNA's current deal with Spike reportedly runs through October. It's unclear at this point when "Impact Wrestling" will stop airing on Spike. We're told there's no bad blood, and Spike gave TNA such advance notice so it would have time to shop for a new TV deal. TNA's show debuted on Spike TV in October 2005 -- and helped the league rise to #2 on the wrestling scene … behind the WWE. We've called TNA and Spike for comment ... so far, no word back. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The beginning of the end for TNA? -

Pretty sure he's done. If not, it will be a short run and he'll have to announce his retirement like Edge did. -

Great news for Jake, surprised by how much they had to remove, if I remember correctly, it was small for skin cancer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - We noted before that WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts is now cancer free. He tweeted the following updates yesterday: "At dr. office to see if healing properly. Will be so glad to get this over with but have a long way to go. Skin grafs to be done yet." "Yes it hurts. Prognosis good. Cancer free" ***WARNING, GRAPHIC IMAGE OF HIS LEG, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED*** -

Not really, I hear what you are saying. Not sure why they made him IC champ either. The way he won the match even made it worse. Not sure where they are going with the angle. Pretty sure it's gonna suck no matter what. -
I sure am! Got the email from the Lions Yesterday. JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE THE CAREER OF GEROY SIMON He came to the BC Lions as a free agent in October 2001 and he departed the CFL in 2013 as the all-time leading receiver and one of the greatest players to ever put on a helmet. Geroy Simon, a name that has become synonymous with championships, big plays, Superman poses, community service and warm, friendly smiles for fans of all ages. On Friday, July 25th when the BC Lions take on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Geroy Simon will receive the highest recognition the club can bestow upon a former player by being added to the Ring of Honour during halftime. This will be no ordinary addition to an exclusive group that already includes the likes of Joe Kapp, Willie Fleming, Jim Young and Bob Ackles to name a few. When Geroy takes his rightful place among the greatest men to ever play in orange it will be with the knowledge that no player will ever wear the number 81 again. Deputy Mayor Kerry Jang presented Geroy with a special civic recognition on behalf of the City of Vancouver on Monday morning, proclaiming Friday, July 25, 2014 as Geroy Simon day in the city of Vancouver. To help mark the occasion and celebrate the career of Geroy Simon the BC Lions are pleased to announce a number of initiatives: Social Media Geroy Simon touched the lives of thousands of fans across British Columbia and the club invites Lions faithful to tweet pictures taken with him over the past decade or their best Superman pose along with the hashtag #ThanksGeroy. In doing so they will make themselves eligible to win a limited edition autographed jersey. A gallery of photos and messages will be created on bclions.com later in the week. Merchandise and commemorative items A limited run of 200 autographed Geroy Simon jerseys will be made available for purchase at Friday’s game. Individually signed by Geroy, these commemorative keepsakes come with a certificate of authenticity to mark this historic occasion. Fans attending Friday’s game can purchase a special edition Geroy Simon large beverage cup which has been designed by the Lions in conjunction with BC Place and Centerplate. Upon exiting the stadium, all fans will receive a Geroy Simon Ring of Honour commemorative poster courtesy of game sponsor TELUS. Thank you for your outstanding support as a BC Lions season ticket holder! We look forward to seeing you on Friday night and celebrating this great occasion with you!
