You should let me send you a "best of" K-1 tape I made RRR, then your mind will change on K-1.

Rick Davis's Champion Muay Thai gym out of Statesville, North Carolina. Rick knows fighters like Mo Smith, the Roufus brothers, and Mike Bernardo, and Ken Shamrock used to go up there back in the early 90's, before even his Pancrase days. Sean has been in California the past couple months. We had another heavyweight he used to train with at my gym who said his stamina is suspect, but that's probably something he's been working on in Cali. He'd probably kick my ass for saying that Funny story about Sean and some kid at the gym. This kid just comes up and starts bothering him out of nowhere, and Sean is all like "Who the hell is this?" The kid keeps bothering him and Sean keeps getting progressively more pissed while everybody else in the gym is trying to hold back their laughter. Just picture a big, mean, angry-looking guy chasing this annoying kid around the gym and you'll get what I mean.

I was a train wreck after the match. There was blood on my face, chest, trunks, legs, even my cup. I used to have a real lazy stance, with my hands around my chin, needless to say they now stay up around my temples. It's a little hard to learn punch defense if you've never fought in a real match before, which before then, I had never done (except for that Tough Man match a year ago, ughhh). Now that I've experienced full speed punches coming towards my head, I will be considerably wiser. It's amazing how much you learn in one fight.

Why? Baloo rules!

He trains Muay Thai at my gym. BTW, RRR, I lost my first Muay Thai fight 3rd round ref stoppage. I got hit with good punches from the end of the 2nd through the rest of the fight, resulting in a fractured nose. Still fun though, but my punch defense needs definite improvement. It will get tested on Nov. 6th when I fight a guy who all he does is punch, albeit without good technique. Hopefully I can avenge my loss from last week.

Weird. He's been here for almost a year and I've never heard of him. Well, I've been here for almost three years and there's a lot of people who don't care about me.

Evaluate me. Remember? The guy who used to make all those lame ass heavy metal posts in the music folder? And what's with these gimmick posters lately? George Costanza? Captain Fag? Sigmund Freud? Dr. Phil? Gimmick posters should be immediately banned to the depths of hell.

Sorry for the gay sounding title, ha. Anyway here are the four wrestlers that you, the members of thesmartmarks.com, have voted to be the inagural members of the thesmartmarks American Wrestling Hall of Fame: BRET HART RIC FLAIR HULK HOGAN STEVE AUSTIN Okay, what do y'all think? Not much, but it's our way of saying thanks to these four wrestlers for their years of entertainment for us. How often should this be done? Six months? More? Less? In the future, I'll look to include tag teams, managers, stables, etc. into the mix.

Get this one:

My favorite two episodes are from Season 2 and they're both holiday specials: The Evil Pets/Bizarro Cartman/"Hella" episode and the "Merry Christmas Charley Manson" episode.

I don't expect Tanner to fight Lindland, seeing as how they are on the same team.

This fight all depends on takedowns. If Cro Cop's takedown defense is good for this match, he should win, either by KO or decision. If Barnett's takedowns are good, he should be able to win by sub or decision. Very tought match to call, but I'm going with Cro Cop. As for Rampage/Silva, everybody wants Rampage to win, but Silva should still take it.

I thought Nog actually deserved to win their first meeting.

Well, Arona is on roids and Nak isn't.

I know you're being sarcastic, but just in case you're not: Allan Goes Carlos Newton Gilbert Yvel Nogueira Babalu Silva Renzo Gracie Ninja Ricardo Arona Busta Nakamura: Uhhh, Busta, Lil' Nog, and uhhh, that's about it.

Here's a taste of what Naka's in store for: Henderson bringin' the country boy skills!

Wow, this is getting easier by the day If Hendo wins, you have to change your member title OR your sig picture, up to you. If Nakamura wins ( ), nothing happens to me, but you get to remove the "I suck" avatar. Is this what you meant by double or nothing? Anyway, Hendo will win because: (A) He is just plain better than Naka, (B) He completely dismantled Oyama when they fought, with Oyama having a similar, although more reckless, style than Nakamura, and © Nakamura can't finish and Hendo can't be finished, so I expect Hendo to win by JD or TKO from punches.

Kulwicki died in a plane crash.

I think the Pride show is a pretty easy one to pick. Predictions: SILVA vs. Jackson CRO COP vs. Barnett HENDO vs. Nakamura Yokoi vs. HERRING HUNT vs. Bobish ARONA vs. Ignatev Kanehara vs. OVEREEM ALEKSANDER vs. Thompson Last fight I don't really know either one, so I can't call it.

Sorry, dude. I'll be lenient and say two weeks is the limit. You're still cool, though

I thought it would be cool to make our own hall of fame. Kind of markish, but whatever. List four and only four American wrestlers (active or inactive) worthy of "Hall of Fame" status. Nominations are based soley on a wrestler's work in America. I'll tabulate the votes and the four best vote getters will be "inducted," with maybe a tribute thread or something. Ties will be determined by a vote-off. I'll try to remember to do this every six months or so. Also debating on whether or not to allow members under 100 posts to nominate. Thoughts? My picks: Ric Flair Mick Foley Steve Austin Bret Hart

So let me get this right.. Are you going to take our nominations and put them in a poll, or are the actual nominations the votes? The actual nominations are the votes. Keep 'em comin'!

Nevermind, I have it now:

Looks like I was right on both my predictions: Hughes beating Georges and Trigg beating Charuto. Trigg beats the shit out of BJJ guys, end of story. I'll have your av picked out in a day or two RRR, hahahahaha.

Why is your girlfriend looking at guys? You must not be gettin' the job done "player."
