Lord of The Curry

Mark Henry should put an extra bit of zip in his splash these days in memorium. Here's hoping the fans at the ECW/WWE show bring Rey back to life with dueling "Eddie" and "Tenta" chants.

Dana is pre-airbrushed in his whiteness so Playboy won't need to do much here.

MMA is going to make the process more difficult for pro wrestling in the future as it has all but completely cornered what was once the WWE's most coveted demographic, males 18-34. A lot of old-school fans are smack dab in the middle of this and people are beggining to realize that there are other options.

Tong- Any info on this Kongo guy, besides him having a sweet last name?

It'd be weird talking to young fans and hearing them talk about who their favourite sports entertainer is. Thank God I avoid young people and definetly young wrestling fans at all costs. The only person I actively talk about wrestling with besides Rudo is the mentally challenged 30 year old that hangs around my plaza at work. That dude loves him some JBL.

After those friendly text-messaging riot incidents earlier this year I don't think we'll be following the Aussies advice on this one.

I'm 22 now and I've been watching since I was about 6 or 7 years old and I'd probably say that I've gotten the best out of pro wrestling because I lived through a lot of eras. Started up as a Hulkamanic, progressed into the Bret Hart fandom and worked up into the Attitude era. It was during the Attitude era that I began branching out into other aspects of pro wrestling, mainly AJPW, NJPW and ECW. I can't say I was a fan of any of those promotions during their peak but I began to love it right after a lot of the big moments had went down so I wasn't too late to the party. The current generation of wrestling fans (6-16) are going to have by far the shittiest time growing up with the sport due to the stagnent situation american pro wrestling has found itself in.

People enjoy hanging on to their whole "I was there from the beggining" beliefs and somehow a side-effect of that belief lies in Ken Shamrock being a talented fighter. I completely expect Ken to get booed out of the building at the PPV, however.

Perhaps clicking on the link provided will illuminate you?

It just keeps getting more fucked up around here. Meadowvale is makin' the international headlines. Talking to people who knew one of the youths that was arrested it seems that after Grade 11 he started to get heavily into religion, grew out the hair/beard combo and never spoke to any of his former white friends again. Apparently one of the guys in custody personally wanted to behead Stephen Harper.

Four matches are on so far, good enough to start a thread and get some discussion started. Where: Mandalay Bay Events Centre, Las Vegas When: July 8th, 10 PM Fights so far......... World Heavyweight Championship: Andrei Arlovski vs Tim Sylvia © Tito Ortiz vs Ken Shamrock Yves Edwards vs Joe Stevenson Gilbert Aldana vs Chieck Kongo

"Check out the July issue of Playboy magazine (on news stands June 9th) featuring the “20Q” interview with UFC President Dana White. White keeps the conversation raw as he discusses why tensions are high on The Ultimate Fighter, what distinguishes a real warrior and why the UFC crushes the WWE." -UFC.com Go Dana.

YPOV is Canadian, thus it's ok for him to hate. Or at least he lives here. Not sure of his actual origins. Anybody else can fuck right off, however.

It's dumbass, dumbass.

Filho has beat Suloev. Misaki, Gono and Chonan have all lost to Hendo and Gono and Misaki probably won't fight each other as they're team mates. Rudo's bracketing is probably how it'll work itself out.

3 of them went to my high school. I was 3 years above them but my brother and his friends knew some of the dudes. I think the Toronto media is backpedalling after the racial violence and vandilism that took place over the weekend. Today's stories on the news were "Suspect X's Wife says 'My husband is innocent'" pieces as opposed to the "TERRORISTS IN CUSTODY" headlines they were running over the weekend. I'll be interested to see what happens if it turns out these guys ended up getting caught in a police sting, as it was originally reported. Good luck finding any excuse as to why you'd need that much fertilizer in fucking Mississauga.

KANG, ya heard? Good grief that Olaf KO was painful.

Toss the fag.

St. Pierre. What? Just wait until he clears out the MW division. Seriously? Probably Koscheck, oddly enough. I haven't seen the Chalangov fight but hopefully he's moved past lay-and-pray and is actually using his wrestling to win fights.

Awesome. The more this leads up to Rattner being blacklisted in Hollywood the better.

Karo's taken shots from better strikers then Diego, I'm not too worried about him getting dropped. But goddamn if this isn't a "Pick 'em" if I ever saw one. It'll be interesting to see if Karo can take Diego down as it hasn't happened much in Diego's UFC career, if at all. I don't think Karo will be able to stop the takedown like Allessio did but a big hole in Diego's game was exposed at 60 and hopefully Karo will be able to make something of it. Nice to see UFC starting to give half a shit about the UFN's, finally. I imagine we'll be seeing the winners of TUFIII on this card as well and probably a few others.

It's not "State Your Ignorant Opinions." Seriously, personal feelings is one thing but at its peak WCW was putting on amazing matches, on par with anything WWE/F did at its peak.

Hey, a Country Boy can use cursive too.....

Yeah, it'll be a shame when Fisher, Edwards, Stout, Stevenson or Sherk absolutely obliterate him.

Does Coffey posting here means he's accepted that MMA is the thing to be all up ons? I was not anticipating seeing Matt lose. Thank Buddha. Nickels looked absolutely pathetic in there and my first thought on seeing both of them is "Bisping would absolutely murder both of them". Looks like Matt drops out based on next weeks previews, though.
