Am I the only one that thinks they are playing up the Ion/Sorenson feud too much, having Ion win the title ironically whe Sorenson wished for it and won't be back for months, I think that could've gone a bit more tastefully, especially the way too short Ultimate X.
but the main event was badass and believable. I hadnt been that excited at the end of a match in forever. I felt like a kid again
-
How're they gonna get themselves over?
"YES!"
"I'm the best in the world!"
"NO! I'm the best in the world!"
"I'm straight edge!"
"YES!"
...Yawn.
AJ made this feud watchable. When it comes PPV time, they'll do their thing in the ring. Week to week though, they'd fall way short without her.
if that's the case why are they the main eventers? theres always new ways to mix up feuds rather than using some sex appeal crap. it's really not a soap opera.
-
I've noticed she can act, I just don't get why she's getting over through men, rather than idk maybe winning a title, rather than overshadowing the WWE champion and apparently #1 contender
-
ROFL.
Alright.
Wrestlers that came from ROH: 3
Yeap. That's most, alright.
Btw? 2 of those 3, you're whining about what they're doing.
The other? Can't quit doing dumb stuff long enough to get on tv.
yeah, I'm whining about it, because it's ridiculous theyre being used to get some other generic diva over, rather than getting themselves over. well I guess theyre getting over, just in a pointless way
-
"All the same NXT guys"
There's.....2.
Seriously. Come on now. Just go watch some ROH and mark out to the next guy that gets fake kicked so hard he back flips.
hey, at least they can wrestle, unlike half the guys I've seen tonight. actually, most of them can IF they had the chance to do so! I like the entertainment aspect, but it shouldnt be the focus of the show it should still be wrestling. and it's on TV so the people don't get the chance to show their skill
-
You want 4 hours of non stop wrestling with a bunch of no name guys nobody cares about because they're all exactly the same, go watch ROH.
as for this, where do you think all the wrestlers they have now came from for the most part? they aren't exactly the same. They actually have talent.
-
It's called character development.
You want 4 hours of non stop wrestling with a bunch of no name guys nobody cares about because they're all exactly the same, go watch ROH.
I don't mind some segments. but I like decent wrestling. but then again this is Sports Entertainment crap. Character development, of all the same NXT guys yet they job out decent wrestlers like Jack Swagger and Drew McIntyre. I just don't get it
-
Still a better performer than WWE's lame watered down Sin Cara.
ehh, maybe if they let him have a decent lengthed match. and the over glorified "Ginger Jobber" Heath Slater, got beat. by some old dude they don't need. again
-
you mean AJ? shes one of the best things going around on RAW Lately.
yes, her. its pathetic how theyre making her famous by having her make out with 2 guys within 3 minutes of eachother. I remember when wrestling had tasteful interviews, decent matches (more than a minute long) and the "best thing going" was not some girl ho-ing herself out to get famous. it was the build up of feuds between actually good wrestlers, not focusing on some girl
like i said, i wanna watch wrestling, and not a soap opera. and hey look another 1 minute match with a glorified jobber.
-
watching Raw for the first time in years. wtf is up with a 20 minute stupid segment about some girl being a crazy ho?
and then 3 one minute matches. and then more segments.
a lackluster tag match that had potential to be actually good, and Show gets DQ'd for saving his partner from defeat.. WTH is this? I wanted to watch wrestling, not a soap opera!
-
Sherdog moderators are just as stupid as 3/4 the people on there. they gave me an infraction for calling Chuck Liddell old news.. like are you kidding?
-
really surprised The Reem pulled this one out. I expected Brock to do alot better. but now we know the true better fighter. but it is a shame Brock is retiring, he was such a joy to watch whenever he was on a card

Roger Gracie is going to be making his Strikeforce debut on the televised portion of the May 15th Showtime card. Roger was the legit p4p best grappler in the world a couple of years back. He's been taking time off due to the birth of his kid, but is now back at it and ready to commit to MMA full time.
Also, this is the best (MMA) GIF ever.

what the eff, why is he beating on girls?

Pandorum; everyone but me ive talked to about this movie, they did not like it. i loved it personally. any thoughts?
-
A bit disappointed at the lack of finishes, but hey.
Very dissapointed in big nog, my favorite fighter. I guess Velasquez IS fo real. But so quick.
The other fights on the other hand lasted for hours and weren't all that excitiing. But then again, I sometimes skipped a couple of minutes. Oh well.
yeah me too, nearly all the fights went to the third round, the only true dominant finish was Cain. Nearly every fight someone had a chance to finish it but didnt, i thought Bonnar should have been finished a few times.
As for Lytle, that took skill, but Foster was doing very well before that. and Cro Cop, well i boo his performance
-
Been a while since I've seen that. Yeah, Faber should have probably tried -looking- at his opponent when he was throwing it. He looked like a goofball just blindly throwing an elbow and then getting dropped.
it just looked like he got pissed was how i always thought of it lol
-
i just think they need to find some solid fighters from other promotions, and then just steal them. i dont care if they have to nonames fighting on the undercard, because chances are someone will impress and get to fight better guys
-
imma repost this so it doesnt get lost
am i the only one here that thinks faber doesn't deserve a title shot already?
he comes off TWO losses to Mike Brown, and gets one win. i personally dont think thats enough IMO, i think they need to start building up some new Featherweight stars.

My logic is fine... Rampage is the more experienced and skilled fighter. Rashad is developing really well, and he's finally starting to come into his own, however he still hasn't learned how to deal with getting hit. His immediate reaction is to regress back to his wrestling, and that's going to get him eaten by Rampage. There's no place in this fight that Rashad has an advantage, aside from maybe quickness. Rashad won't take Rampage down, don't believe me? Check out Rampage's fight with Dan Henderson, and you'll learn quite a bit about Jackson's wrestling.
You can't judge how good or bad a fighter is by their wins. Jardine is considered a solid fighter in the light heavies, and he's always a dark horse. He's a lot like Brad Blackburn, he'll beat guys he isn't expected to beat, and then lose to guys he should steamroll. Jardine is game whenever he's facing a top opponent.
By your own logic I could say "Oh yeah? Well Rampage beat Chuck twice, and KO'd him faster in the UFC." The fact is: Just because X beats Y doesn't mean X beats Z. Styles make fights, and Rashad's style is pretty much tailor made to lose to Rampage. Doesn't mean he won't win, but technically Rampage is a superior fighter.
Also by your logic I could point out that if anyone should be criticized for going to decisions it should be Rashad considering he was classified as a "blanket" for laying on top of people early in his career. He went to a decision with Bisping, who got destroyed by Henderson, who Rampage beat by dominant decision... See how your logic doesn't work very well when it's turned around.
I respect and appreciate the fact that you like Rashad. He's one of my favorites too.. But from an unbiased perspective, he should really have no chance at beating Rampage when their resumes are shown side by side... Again...
As Matt Serra, Gabriel Gonzaga, and a heap of underdogs have shown us: anything can happen in a fight.
i said IMO. i just think Rashad takes it plain and simple. it was a two sentence post, i didnt go in depth about how they were a few years ago like you did, i was speaking of their recent performances. and rashad isnt even a favorite of mine, i just think he takes this fight

I want to see Rashad beat Rampage. That being said, Rampage will take it pretty easily, which sucks because it would be a real shame to see him get a title shot, beat Machida, and then spend the next few years defending the title as little as possible, and making films. Plus that would have been a really stupid fight for the UFC to put on in the first place... Rashad is working his way back to a title shot, why throw him the middleweight champion who's already stated he won't fight the current champ? Rashad, in his current form, has even less for Silva than he had for Machida.
i really don't understand your logic here.. IMO Rashad is a better fighter, Rampage took Jardine to a decision, but Jardine did pretty good. That said, Rashad is better than Jardine. I think Rashad could shut Rampage's big mouth finally
