They were separate entities. The National Wrestling Alliance had pretty much become useless after WCW instituted their own titles. Eastern Championship Wrestling joined the NWA briefly, forced a title tournament to happen and had Douglas throw down the title so that they could symbolically show...
I think the real question should be is when is there going to be an ECW of MMA, an alternative to people being bored of the UFC and a more hardcore fighting company? I guess, since the athletic commissions and power-hungry politicians like John McCain don't mind their own business, the answer is...
Did you ever read Hogan's WCW contract? Ridiculous. He got percentages on everything. I think WCW took a loss on PPVs because his cut was so big.
I still find it ironic that Nash and Hall left the WWF, a company that made them stars after they were poorly gimmicked jobbers in WCW originally...
They used to name them. Remember the UFC entitled Knockout which featured no knockouts?
As far as this new WWE PPV, they better have wrestlers being put on fire or going through flaming tables to justify that name.
Yeah, didn't they have to? I believe Marc Mero or Brian Pillman was the first contract they guaranteed during the wars. As for WCW, they went overboard with their spending. Shitty wrestlers were getting guarantees near a million.
I'm pretty sure, guessing though, that Vince McMahon has inspired people like Dana White. Vince has been a ruthless business man, from breaking promises to his father when he bought the company to how he handled competition. Up until like 1996, the WWE/WWF performers were only contracted at a...
I may have jumbled up all the other fighters criticizing his flight mode when he got hit as him admitting to it when he retired. I was pretty positive he owned up to it when he retired though.
When he retired, there was an article where he talked about how he really wasn't a fighter, he was a wrestler. I liked him even more for admitting it. I'd have to do some searching to find it, but I'll try.
I must say, in doing this search, I notice Brock's ego has gotten bigger. It seems he...
But I thought Brock, who was a guy I rooted for, came off terrible in the UFC from the perspective of the character he is portrayed in the WWE. He even admitted after the Overeem fight that he "wasn't a fighter," since he was so terrified of being hit. Yet, he comes back to the WWE with MMA...
I remember being shocked at that result. Nedkov was an undersized wrestler who struggled badly with Kevin Randleman, who was pretty shot at that point in his career. I figured Cane would KO him easily.
The thing that surprises me about Brock Lesnar being a big deal in the WWE after his UFC stint is just the fact that his "aura of invincibility" has been destroyed. Yes, he can very easily destroy everyone in the dressing room in the WWE, but wrestling operates in a fictitious world. The reality...
Liddell would have gotten that matchup had he beaten Shogun. As weird as it was, the UFC was constantly setting Liddell up to get a title shot, even after his losses to Jardine and Rashad.
The fight happened on the reality show. Nelson took him down and pounded him out gently from the crucifix.
Kimbo was struggling badly in the grappling with Mitrione. I always figured that was why he was cut. Mitrione was not and has never been a grappler; even Brendan Schaub choked Mitrione out.
What about TJ Watt? I keep hearing he makes a ton of sense for them since they really need a pass-rusher, he compares to Clay Matthews, and he's from Wisconsin.
I just cannot believe that. You cannot give up on Bortles so quickly. OJ Howard seems perfect for them. Give Bortles more talent so there's no excuse if he doesn't perform. And if Bortles fails, you have some serious talent in place for the next QB.
