  1. Take Your Pick (Next Big Thing)

    I like Del Rio. The guy has too much talent not to be. The only thing is will the WWE let him showcase it properly??? His success in Mexico is only the tip of the iceberg. He's got international wrestling experience with very good success, being a member of the Mexican National Wrestling...
  2. Homicide returns to ROH

    True, but I didn't expect Strong to ever gain the ROH title. I always thought he had the ability to do it and carry it, but never though I would see it happen, regardless if Black was leaving or not. I enjoyed his runs as FIP champ, which is what convinced me he could hold the ROH title.
  3. Strikeforce signs Heavyweight stalwart, Josh Barnett

    Hmmmm, now that SF has brought Barnett back to the US, makes me wonder if they'll go after Duffee to shore up the division a tad more??? Either way, I love it. Barnett can still fight. Still one of the best 265lbers most newer fans don't know about. source: www.mmajunkie.com Former UFC...
  4. Rate the wrestler

    I like Velvet...a lot. No I REALLY like Velvet....a lot. She's probably a solid 10 in the looks department. Wrestling wise, Id give her a 6-7. Her ring work is solid and good, but nothing to write home about. She's had plenty of talent to work with, but I haven't seen that one match that really...
  5. Homicide returns to ROH

    Wait. Roderick Strong won the ROH World Title???? Holy hell, this is freakin AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations Roderick. Been a long time coming.
  6. Velasquez/Lesnar talk~

    Amen SE. It's something that varies with each fighter from fight to fight. I would love to see Brock go 5 rounds just to gauge his conditioning. I don't call it into question because of what I've seen from the guy just as a pure athlete. From collegiate wrestling, to pro wrestling, to NFL...
  7. Would You Consider WWEs Roster Strong Or Weak Overall?

    When Cody debute, the kid was green as they come. That's why I think fans failed to take to him. I think gaining the tag titles with Holly helped him garner a little bit of respect. Legacy just helped solidfy his status. Now, it's an opinion, be it shitty or good, that I don't buy Cody as a...
  8. Rate the wrestler

    Dean is a 9-9.5 easily. I never got to see much of his ECW work just because the Detroit area would only get syndicated ECW every two weeks and it was on the smallest station in town at 3AM, Sunday morning/Saturday night. One night Im watching WCW and Dean Malenko comes out. Im floored at what I...
  9. Velasquez/Lesnar talk~

    Great post Knox. Agree 100%. I said Lesnar probably has some of the best, if not the best GnP in the sport today. You can see Brock has this appetite to get better and better with each fight. I had read a rumor he was talking about entering the 2011 ADCC tournament to see how his submission...
  10. Jim Neidhart arrested for burglary/drug trafficing

    No, I gotch bro. I don't think I typed what I was meaning correctly. It just seems since Bret left for WCW, it's been one thing after another for him. Whether it be family or acquaintances. Owen, Davey, his folks, the stroke, Pillman, Benoit, and now his former tag partner and brother in law...
  11. Would You Consider WWEs Roster Strong Or Weak Overall?

    Like Adam said, just too much to digest right now, but one stood out and that's Cody Rhodes. First let me say this, that it's not that Im not a fan, I am, just not as a heel. "Dashing" Cody Rhodes??? Really??? Do 90% of the 6-10 year olds even know what the hell dashing means??? Look, the...
  12. Velasquez/Lesnar talk~

    I never say a guy doesn't have a chance. I've learned my lesson too many times in this sport. One thing Matt Serra proved is that EVERYBODY has a chance. Each fight is an entirely different animal and preparation. While yes granted, Big Nog is a tad passed his prime, he's still got "gatekeeper"...
  13. My Letter To FightingSpiritMagazine

    Gotcha, thanks Airfixx.
  14. UFC releases Heavyweight prospect Todd Duffee

    Their 265 division isn't that weak really. On the other hand it's never been that strong. You have Lesnar, JDS, Velasquez, Carwin, Big Country, Ben Rothwell, Big Nog is probably still good for 2 or 3 fights, Mir is still solid, and add in some pretty good young up and comers like Struve, Schaub...
  15. Jim Neidhart arrested for burglary/drug trafficing

    What a shame. People always talk about the Von Erich "Family Tradgedy", it's almost getting to a Hart "Family Tradgedy", with what's happened since Owen passed on. Owen passes on, Davey Boy passes on, Stu and Helen pass, Bret has a stroke, and now this with The Anvil. Add in 2 more trained by...
  16. Alberto Del Rio: Expectations

    I won't base my expectations on promos. That's something he'll have to hone later on, but the guy has serious skills. Fellas, this guy was on the Mexican National Wrestling team. Some may snicker, but he's got credentials. He won his weight class in Greco Roman 3 times each in the Central...
  17. NXT Or Superstars: Which Is The Better Show?

    I guess I can't really vote here considering I have never tuned into Superstars, and I notice it's ran a couple times per week. I have watched NXT and I like it, but I can do without the keg carries, obstacle courses, etc. Let's see these up and comers in more wrestling matches and mic tests...
  18. My Letter To FightingSpiritMagazine

    The only thing can Hardy go back to WWE??? I thought he had a 3rd strike with them??? Then again I wouldn't be a bit surprised since the "Wellness Policy" is a laugher. Not saying it hasn't worked, but not as well as some would think.
  19. UFC releases Heavyweight prospect Todd Duffee

    Im hoping not gates. I have a feeling Bellator will jump on him. Bellator likes brining in UFC vets, and they could definitely use him. To be honest, Im more impressed with Bellator than Strikeforce. If you have Fox Sports Net, keep your eys out Thursday nights. I'll see if I can find any news...
  20. MVP : Time for a change?

    The only thing is, how do you repackage him??? Maybe call him "The MVP" Antonio Banks???? I don't know what WWE would do. I don't mind him getting another run with the US title. It's happened in the past with guys like Ric Flair, Lex Luger, or even Barry Windham. Give them mulitple or long runs...
