The wrestler in the Gif is of Razor Ramon who was called 'The Bad Guy' his gimmick seems to be inspired by Scarface's Tony Montana.

Therefore my response to Mediocre was relevant to his post. Was not sure how BGD's Gif of Rick Rude related to the conversation so I asked him.( Still have yet to get an answer.)

Are we on the same page now?

Somehow I think HCP knew that, and doesn't want to admit that he was a HUGE fan of Scott Hall in his AWA days.

This line tells me more than the rest of the article does, and tells me baseball is further away from Portland than many are claiming

I don't think baseball wants to let the cat out of the bag. IF they know that Portland (and say...Montreal) are in the works for an expansion team, it potentially puts the Athletics and Rays in worse situations to renegotiate. Why? There are only a few cities that are realistic locations for expansion and or relocation. If you take two of them off the market (by hinting at/announcing expansion), those cities will no longer be used to garner better deals for the teams.

And ridiculously funny. He's easily my favorite.

Macho Man knew how to put on a good show. The match between him and Ricky 'The Dragon" Steamboat is among my favorites.

You are so clueless as to how important this was, especially for MLB. It’s not that they are going to use unions, it’s the political significance of the announcement.

The political significance was underscored by the presence of Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, Multnomah County Chair Deborah Kafoury, and Metro Council President Lynn Peterson at the press conference.

The project now has county and metro support, that’s the big deal.

It's huge in my circle. My local and the shopmen's local will be the main structural fabricators and erectors. Then there are about 5000 other tradesmen and women that will be supporting their families with income from the work. That is just the stadium. Doesn't even begin to touch the infrastructure involved with a project like this.
Then of course there are the unions that supply the workers that run the stadium for not just baseball but every other show or game that uses it for their venue.

I work for the county and I can tell you, Deborah being involved is a big show of political support. She wouldn’t have bothered to be involved if this was frivolous.

I'm still basically in the, "I'll believe it when I see it" mode when it comes to the MLB to PDX stuff.

You guys are making me feel REALLY old. When I was in the 7th and 8th grade, my buddies (one of whom’s dad was GM of the Portland Beavers and got us free tickets) and I went to Portland Wrestling at the the old armory in NW almost every Friday night. Those were the days of Tough Tony Borne, Lonnie Mayne, Mad Dog Vashon, Stan “The Man” Stasiak, Sandy Barr, Beauregard, and a bunch more. Shag Thomas was almost always the referee. Frank Bonema was the announcer and things got crazy during a lot of the interviews between matches. After the matches were over we’d go stand at the corner of 12th and Burnside wait for our ride and flip the KISN DJ shit through the window on the corner. Great times.
