Really, faked and scripted soap opera vs real sport????? Help me understand that.

saw where dana said basically "good fucking luck" at brock trying to get out of his contract to fight at WM 27.

regardless. i wonder why the animosity (at least how i pervcieved it) from brock towards the undertaker as he walked by.

I didnt really see anything that made me think Brock was mad and taker was saying it was personal cus he didnt want to say yeah im asking him if he wants to go at wrestlemania but thats just my take Ive always heard Brock say good things about the undertaker and that he was one of the few guys he still talks to on a regular basis

Brock vs Gonzaga would suck IMO
Rothwell is over rated
Mir vs Brock 3 would draw interest but i think would go the same way as the second fight

How about Kongo so Kongo wont think he is actually good anymore after brock smashes him

Read that on mixedmartialarts.com, as it would be a breach of contract.

I wouldn't mind seeing that.

I would love to see Brock smash Kongo.

IMO Kongo doesn't deserve a fight against a top ranked fighter!

Because they enjoy watching the product just like you and other UFC/MMA fans enjoy watching that.

99% of the people know what is going on with the wrestling product but they still enjoy watching it.

But they aren't similar. Unless you mean to tell me that Transformers is just like MMA because there is an audience that likes to watch that too.

I'm fine with people watching and enjoying WWE/etc. But that sort of thing has and should not have any relationship with a real sporting event.

I never said it should have a place with a real sports event.

The only comparison I am making is that both groups really like what they are watching and that is why they draw what they do.

The problem is... who else is out there? And you can say those guys would get destroyed, but anything can happen. That's why you have the fight.

Carwin pulled out of his fight with Nelson.

When is the next big card that would be worth going out to watch?

Blanket;533483 wrote:When is the next big card that would be worth going out to watch?

November 20th.

You are right Kongo doesnt deserve to be anywhere near a top fighter but, he runs his mouth so much thinking he is awesome that i would just like to see Lesner destroy him for my own personal pleasure lol

I also got the update about Carwin pulling out of the match against Big Country. Should be interesting who they fill this spot with. I'm mad though because I was really looking forward to watching Nelson get destroyed by Carwin. Too bad Brock won't be ready by then (or at least doubt he would be).

Those medical suspensions are all pretty common, I would be surprised if the couple 180 day ones really lasted that long. They will all see an eye doctor and get cleared earlier for contact training.

I do not expect, however, for Brock to be in the ring inside of 6 months, just that a doctor will clear him to train much earlier. I expect you'll see Brock back in the ring late spring/early summer 2011.

That blows. I was hoping to see him by Feb or March.

My boss and I were talking yesterday. Anyone else see Mir/Lesnar III around the same time as Velasquez/dos Santos (April/May), with the winners meeting late in 2011?

I could actually see that happening.

If JDS and Lesnar wins, stylistically I would favor Lesnar in fight between those two.
