wwe's hell in a cell 2013 the good, the bad, ugly, they did what, and a guarantee for tomorrow

Hell in the cell was entertaining for the most part but how the ending of the night does not kill PPV buys is beyond me but here the good, the bad, the ugly, and they did what of the night. THE GOOD: Big E got to talk and got a strong push as he went up against Deam Ambrose for the united states belt after Curtis Axel was scraped as Big E opponent because of injury so Big E got the victory be of count out and was very strong in the ring. Roades family keep titles but the cracks are there as Gold dust had no Cody for a tag as he was knocked of the apron and then when he got to the usos they had been knocked off. Bob Backlund after what looks like hit the showers with his shirt was backstage and ran into Prime time players and said that video games are ruining todays youth as PTP were playing wwe '14 (out Tuesday) and they all end up doing the millions of dollars chant together with Backlund in the middle. AJ killed off Brie Bella and hopefully it is Nats turn as she is as awesome in the ring as AJ is in character and I would be stunned if she has one a title in the WWE which would be shame to the greatest degree. THE BAD: Nat was pinned by Summer Rae and that is a sad fact that a real wrestler gets No. 2 dumped on her all the time and it makes me very, very sad. Also bad was not that Cena beat Del Rio but after he did Del Rio just sat outside of the ring on his butt with the ref looking at John Cena instead of beat the crap out of Cena so Damien Sandow (he wasbwatching in the back) could come down and become the intelligent champion of the world. The Ugly: simply put Kaitlyn there is something she worse at than wrestling and that is talking so the WWE has her on the panel and she can not put together a thoughts together and is simply horrible. The way they handle the Paul Heyman/CM Punk situation was mind blowing because CM Punk killed Heyman he is gone and this story of gone a bit longer if they put Heyman's guys over but instead he buried Reyback and as Paul Heyman was lifted to the top of the cage and watched the match and after Punk and kendo go to get him and Paul is introduced to kendo over and over again and when he was supposed to be GTS through the cage the cage no sells it. They did what: they left everybody booing at the end of the night they had Orton going over Bryant and u have both the guys that people wanted to win come up short and it may kill the Bryant angle just like Sandow and his briefcase are dying a horrible death. If it is true that Bryant will win the Rumble his steam will run out before he wins at WM 30 and it sadly leave it flat at the end and he will likely not have the proper run that he deserves. A Guarantee: Vince is back tomorrow and will probably setup a Trips team vs Vince team at Survivor Series Tom Mehegan

Anthony Cavillo will he come back for a final season or will he walk off into the sunset with head held high

Anthony Cavillo who is head and tails above another quarterback in the history of football when it comes to passing yards (79,816) and he kept the Alouettes as the best team in the Eastern conference division of the Canada Football league has big question to answer this off-season does he have it in him to do this one more time or will he walk away with no regrets. The true is until 2009 Cavillo had only one knock against him and that was he could not win the (grey) cup and back-to-back cups in '09 and '10 both against the Saskatchewan Roughriders cemented his legacy and he really now has nothing to work for as he does have 3 (grey cup) rings which also includes a grey cup MVP from his first ring in 2002. He has been named Eastern division most outstanding player (best player in the division) 6 times and out of those 6 times he was CFL most outstanding player (best in the league) 3 times. He has also named to the CFL all-star team 4 times and kept the team in Montreal that has to be a winning organization to be a winning franchise on the winning path as the only two seasons they have been under 500 at the end of the season since 2000 are 2007 when he left the team after 13 games to take care of his wife ill and in 2013 when concussed by Ricky Folley of the Saskatchewan Roughriders in game 7 of the season. If he does comeback he will one - he will be confident in his own skin (no more concussion problems) because he has bigger view on life after helping his wife Alexia with her recovery of her illness; two - he may want that 80,000 yards mark he is only 184 yards away from that and if he did not have a recent set back from his concussion he would of gotten in the Alouettes last regular season game in 2013 in Toronto against the Argos and then been ready for another playoff run; third - just like Mariano Rivera he just does not a injury ending his career so he will come back for one more season with the Alouttes to make things right and leave on a better note; So Cavillo will make the best decision for him and his family and I will agree with which one he makes and it will have nothing about money because he has made a few million dollars Tom Mehegan

CFL needs to get on board with Sportsnet to grow bigger and stronger throughout the league

The CFL TV ratings are getting stronger and stronger over season after season and the players are laughing all the way to the bank with the salary cap strong at 4.4 million in 2013. The top stars especially quarterbacks who usually ranged from 400,000 to 600,000 while other stars make 150,000 to 200,000 a season like Jon Cornish or Corey Sheets at running backs or Chad Owens or Fred Stamps at wide receiver while on D guys like Chip Cox or Charleston Hughes so they are not getting NFL money and would jump at a NFL tryout but it is better than it has been in the past as it was 4.05 million salary cap back in 2007. It is always a strong league when the heart and solo of the league the Saskatchewan Roughriders are going well but the likes who the Toronto Argos, Hamilton Ticats, and BC Lions will be drowning in red ink each and every season. So to help the weak franchises the CFL will be wise to go outside of the TSN universe by separating the East division and the West division just like the NFL has CBS doing the AFC and Fox doing the NFC as it brings in more money than if it was all on one station. So the CFL should open up the West Division to all bidders to bring the most money and whoever does not get the very rich West division with higher ratings (Saskatchewan, Calgary, Edmonton, and soon to be Winnipeg) they can get the poor ratings of the Eastern Division (Toronto and Hamilton i.e. southern Ontario does not want the CFL and are hoping for the NFL coming to town). They separate the division more money coming which would cover more of the losses of the Argos, Ticats, and Lions build every season so that BC or Toronto host Grey Cups like every time I.E. BC will host the 2014 Grey Cup which means that Toronto or BC will host the big game 3 of the last 4 seasons. The TV rights would go like this if a West team plays an East Team than the road team broadcasters broadcast the game which would give the Eastern broadcaster for 4 high rated games (Saskatchewan, Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg) for each team with the Ottawa RedBlacks coming back into the league which would be a tempting bone to chew on. If they do not go with the duel broadcasters it will be up to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Calgary Stampede, and Edmonton Eskimos paying the bills for the bigger cities but sadly I think that it is unlikely that it happens and TSN will be the solo TV broadcaster for the great Canadian football league going forward. I would love a balance league with a 10 team league with maritime team so that it is not a 9 team league and teams play 3 games in two weeks Tom Mehegan

Megan Nicole rocks Toronto

The 21 year-old bad boy records label singing sensation Megan Nicole picked it up and put it down at the Phoenix concert theatre to a packed house and was the same bubbly girl as she has been on youtube for years. She started with glad you came and finished with Starship with great versions of her originals B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l and summer forever and mixed in a sing-along of her first cover ever Justin Bieber's Baby. She also added in other originals like earthquake and being 16 and the crowd was more there for Boyce Avenue. By the end of the night the official count was a couple short of a thousand people in the packaged theatre and the late comers all need ids as the licensed as the all ages area was completed packaged but people arriving late were less than the people running out of the Boyce Avenue performance as it sounded like it was too loud including for a pre-teen girl. The show I saw which was the open act from Wisconsin and the wonderful talented Megan Nicole were both very good and the staff at the Phoenix were very helpful and professional even if they had no clue about the youtube sensations. Megan Nicole is try out new original music so her debut album from Bad Boy Records will bot be far away and I can not wait Tom Mehegan

Roades family give the Shield a taste of their own justice

The crowd was very hot for the Roades family as they took on the shield and they took everything from the Shield and both Cody and Dustin (Goldust) had to battle to get to their corner to tag each other in. Dusty was Dusty and took off his belt early when everybody was outside the ring and took swings at Dean Ambrose and at the end of the match Dusty sent Ambrose up the ramp as he attacked him with the big belt. As this was going on Reigns went up behind Dusty but Dustin took him out and it was Rollins and Cody and Cody got the crossroads on Rollins for the victory and the match of the night as Bryant and Orton was a no contest as Show knocked them both of them out and left them there. Roades family celebrated at the top of the ramp with the guys in the back and this is the only was that the could of ended as if the Roades family needed the victory and it was clean and that is perfect. So going forward loo forward for Dustin to turn on father and brother as they did mention that Dad was always around for Cody activities and because Dustin is 16 years older dad was always on the road and missed all of Dustin activities and Dustin will resent them because dad was never there for him and brother was given a silver spoon that he never got. Also the Shield will need to be put over huge as they are losing a lot of their shine and need to get back to their dominating ways Tom Mehegan
