  9. LOS ANGELES (March 27, 2007) -- FEG (Fighting Entertainment Group), ProElite and SHOWTIME Networks Tuesday formally announced a gigantic mixed martial arts fight card Saturday, June 2, 2007, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The initial three bouts of the live card will be shown on SHOWTIME during a one-hour telecast that begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. On Feb. 10, 2007, SHOWTIME aired the first-ever MMA fight card carried live on premium television. The pay-per-view portion of the June 2 mega event will feature up to six bouts and immediately follow on SHOWTIME Pay Per View (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT). The sensational evening’s main event will feature a tremendous matchup between 7-foot-2 South Korean giant Hong Man Choi and hugely popular former pro and NCAA wrestling champion Brock Lesnar. Choi, Lesnar, legendary mixed martial arts pioneer and Hall of Famer, Royce Gracie, and former University of Southern California and NFL star, Johnnie Morton, who is making his MMA debut, attended Tuesday’s opening press conference at the Coliseum. For more information, please visit ProElite.com. HONG MAN CHOI “This is my first MMA fight in the United States and I am very excited about it. I feel privileged to be on this show. “The Coliseum is a big place, just like me. I have studied my opponent and know he is a very good fighter. I plan to give my best. I hope I can live up to the expectations.’’ BROCK LESNAR “Pro wrestling ran its course and I wanted to do something else. I tried pro football and visited the Minnesota Vikings camp in 2004. When that didn’t pan out and I saw how MMA was exploding, I said to myself, ‘hey, there’s something here for you.’ “This is my first MMA event and I am very excited. I am happy to be part of this sport. I feel fortunate to have my health and I am ready to go. I have a good feeling about this. “My opponent is obviously very, very large. But size doesn’t matter. It just gives me a huge target to hit. “I think they are making a big mistake by fighting me. Choi has more experience, but when it comes time for me to put his BUTT on the mat, he will be like a fish out of water. “I want to thank everyone involved. This is a heck of an opportunity and a chance to get back to my amateur wrestling roots. I’ve been training a year and feel very comfortable. “This is going to be a great event and I can’t wait for when it’s time for lights, camera and action. I am looking to make a huge impact on the MMA today.’’ ROYCE GRACIE “I am pleased to be fighting in California again. I live in Torrance (Calif.) so this is like a home game for me. I don’t get too many of those. “I am very excited to be part of an MMA event that will be the biggest and largest ever in American history. “I have fought in Japan in front of 95,000 fans, so I am used to huge crowds. But this is going to be a fantastic and memorable event. I hope the fans who can’t be at the Coliseum will watch the pay-per-view. It will be very exciting.’’ JOHNNIE MORTON “This is my first pro fight. No, I don’t know of many other NFL players doing this. But I got beat up all those years playing football so I decided to give this a try. “I stay in shape year round. So in the off-seasons, I would train in kick-boxing gyms and learn new moves. I am going into this totally blind. “The big thing is, this is a new challenge in a sport I have never done before. My whole life, I played team sports. This is a chance to do an individual one. “This sport is nuts. But football was nuts, too. At least in football, you do get hit sometimes, too. “I feel my strengths are heart, courage, strength and competitiveness. I feel extremely strong in my upper body and on my feet. “I’ve watched MMA from the very start and always found it interesting. It was my favorite sport to watch. Now, I am going to be in the biggest MMA event in American history. Sure, I will be a little nervous. But if you are not nervous, you should not be here. “I am proud to be involved in this big event. I am looking forward to making a mark.’’
  10. LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – Officials from FEG (the parent company of K-1), EliteXC, and Showtime announced today, not only their plans for a ground breaking event on June 2nd, but also several new alliances around the world. Doug DeLuca, EliteXC’s CEO, verified what MMAWeekly had reported last week, that the K-1/EliteXC co-promoted event on June 2nd will actually be two shows in one. The first portion, the EliteXC portion of the show, will consist of a one-hour special that will air on Showtime’s premium channel and will serve as a lead-up to the K-1 portion of the show, which will air on a pay-per-view broadcast that will be distributed by Showtime PPV. As previously reported, the event will be held at the 92,000-seat capacity Los Angeles Coliseum. In DeLuca’s own words, “There are many, many historic events that will happen on June 2nd. This will be the largest MMA event to ever take place on U.S. soil. It is taking place at the L.A. Coliseum.” “We will be doing two separate shows out of this one event,” explained the EliteXC exec. “We will be doing a one-hour special Showtime presentation, which will be free to Showtime subscribers. It will be called EliteXC Dynamite USA. And then immediately following, Showtime will be pushing viewers to the pay-per-view event… called Pro Elite Presents Dynamite USA.” The televised events of June 2nd, featuring a fight between Brock Lesnar and Hong-Man Choi as well fights involving MMA legend Royce Gracie and former NFL player Johnnie Morton, were only half of the focus of today’s press conference. Perhaps just as interesting was the inclusion of various new collaborators in the Pro Elite movement to unite MMA forces in a stand against the UFC/Pride juggernaut. DeLuca explained, “From the moment that Pro Elite was conceived, we’ve always said that in order to grow this sport, it will take collaborativeness, it will take inclusiveness, and it will take the willingness of other organizations to work together, to cross-promote, and to ultimately create a true world championship system. This is a major step in that direction. This is a major step in the continuation of the next generation of mixed martial arts.” Following his words into the winds outside the L.A. Coliseum, several collaborators were announced. Adding to the conglomeration of Showtime/Pro Elite/EliteXC and FEG/K-1 were Strikeforce, BodogFight, Cage Rage, and Spirit XC. Both Cage Rage, the most prominent fight brand in Europe, and Spirit XC, the largest promotion in South Korea, were represented at the press conference. Andrew Geer and Dave O’Donnell, who head up Cage Rage, were enthusiastic about the collaboration: “Thank you so much to all the partners in the newly formed alliance for inviting us over here. We’re very proud to be part of this event… It’s a fantastic time.” Also in attendance was Kwong Park from SpiritMC, who said, “I am really glad to be here to join the alliance.” Summing up this new alliance, DeLuca said, “This sport will be an Olympic sport. This sport will have world cup champions. This sport will have true world champions… A collaboration means that we share fighters… This alliance speaks to everyone working together to make this a better place for the sport and a better place for the fighters… It’s a way to help other people succeed in the sport. It doesn’t need to be just one…”

  12. Is Al Davis dead?
  13. So is this the end of the freak show matches? Is the Super Hwy Division still gonna happen?
  14. Inoki vs Don Frye - ?
  15. There's no way that's right. Was the Jesus part irony or ....
  16. Macho's still bitter: I think Savage is still mad: "You can callout Hogan all you want, and it's not that I'm a tough guy, it's just that he won't fight anybody. You couldn't find anybody that he'll fight. It's not that he's afraid of me…well, he might be afraid of me, I'm not sure, but as far as getting into a real fight, he just doesn't want to do it. He likes to talk a big game, but he's not that bad. There are no tough guys in wrestling. If you come in and act like you're a tough guy, you're in trouble the second you walk through that dressing room."
  17. Are you just assuming or did you hear this somewhere? I don't mind Foley's yearly returns because as people said- He puts people over, has fun matches and usually puts people over. I read about the McMahon headlining Summerslam on a several news sites, and it's always been known Foley wants to work with McMahon. What I'd like to see is McMahon taking his anger out of losing the Battle of Billionaires match on Lashley, and indirectly, ECW as a whole. Foley, as foreshadowed by his rallying promo to the Originals, takes up the ECW mantle and fights for their honor. That's my pure speculation. But the McMahon wanting to work Summerslam and him wanting to work with Foley, I've read. They didn't even have WM line up set 2 months ago, yet you theink they have SSlam plotted out?
  18. Crush defeated Doink the Clown (Borne) via count-out when Doink sustained a backdrop on the floor, allowing Crush to slide back inside the ring before the 10-count; prior to the bout, Doink appeared on the big screen, with the screen splitting until 16 Doinks were shown; after the match, a second Doink (Keirn) attacked Crush from behind with wooden sticks IIRC This was the blowoff to their fued as during this bout it was announced that Crush would face Yoko on RAW and that match led to Crush going heel
  19. Oye vey. 12 hour drinking binge. ended with gay bar extraganza. Ugh
