Here comes the money!!!

They needed to do something. I'm just not sure this was it.

That was the biggest pop they could get except for bringing SCSA back. Angle is apparently too injured to be cleared by WWE drs.

Austin can't wrestle either because of his neck. The problem isn't lack of talent, it's how boring and predictable creative has gotten. So much potential for a monster heel faction with the Wyatts, and they refuse to put Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose because they're fat and small respectively. Owens might be the best worker in the company right now. KO vs AJ plz.

MMA fans? UFC in particular? I know a lot of people idolizes Mcgregor but I think he is being kind of childishly loud these days. I am siding with UFC's decision to lay him off from UFC 200 to let him know he doesn't own the sport or the organization in particular. He just can't go against Fertitta because if he goes against the UFC, he goes against that guy. His reason for not being available to promote the fight contradicts his early claims that he can fight anyone at any weight, anytime.

His reason for refusing to promote the fight was money. He wanted 10 mill, White said "lolnobruh" and we all know the rest of the story. Weird turn of events if you ask me.

It's being reported by numerous verified accounts on twitter that Kimbo Slice has passed away at age 42, due to a heart attack. Wow, what a horrible week. R.I.P

Phil Brooks is probably the greatest con artist of our time.

On the topic of WWE, apparently they heard our cries since Dean Ambrose is now champion.

Because ROMAN REIGNS FAILED A DRUG TEST months ago.

I've heard on a couple podcasts that Rollins was going to get the title regardless of Reigns' failed drug test. The Ambrese thing is what came out of LF.

Ratings were way down with Rollins as champ (not that he was to blame for it). At one point, Ambrose was really hot and maybe they think they can get him back there? He had a great match against HHH a few months ago. They probably felt he was ready. He's definitely good enough on the mic.

Ambrose is f***ing hilarious and he appears to everyday guys like us just like Daniel Bryan did. I fail to understand why WWE has to have a beast-type guy as champion. Sometimes more is less, and sometimes less is more. Roman "Bland" Reigns and Ambrose being excellent examples.

[mvp 78]

Roman could have been ok, but they waited too long. They needed to push him after the 2014 Royal Rumble when the crowd was going nuts for him. Should have given him the Intercontinental Title and gone from there.

 

I like Ambrose when he stays away from the Carrot Top humor.

Roman has no mic skills. He sucks either way.

You didn't like his Jack and the Beanstalk speech?

[User Name]

I wanna punch him in his stupid (but admittedly very handsome) face.

Would you like him better if he was just the second coming of The Barbarian (obv not as badass though)?

[User Name]

I'd like him better if he was funny like his "cousin".

[Spudboy]

The best.

Greatest of All Time. Freak out! Freak out!!!

Excluding the Sox game, today is getting surprisingly better!

Anything involving Scott Steiner is in my wheelhouse.

So what happened to Ronda, going from invincible to knocked the f*** out twice in quick succession?

I think that she was just too content getting laid every day.

Thats what happens to those MMA guys after a while. They either get old, or they lose the drive. See Chuck Liddell, possibly one of the baddest men on the planet at one point.

[Spudboy]

I like Tank Murdoc, Severin (sp), and that crazy Ukrainian guy that stared in a DiNero film.

 

Those guys were tough as hell and f***ed in the head just enough to enjoy pain. Giving it or receiving it.

Anyone interested to watch the biggest MMA star fight probably the best boxer in this generation? Seeing it live costs a fortune! Last I checked, the cheapest ticket costs more than 2,000 bucks! That makes the 100USD PPV a lot cheaper. I think the only way for McGregor to win is to win via KO against the best defensive boxer to date! That makes Mayweather the top bet for this fight!

RIP Bruno

[Spudboy]

Yeah our friend Carter will be in mourning.

 

Truthfully, I spent many Saturday mornings watching Bruno on TV38 many moons ago.

 

He was fun.

[Northern Star]

Odds that McGregor ISN'T doing roids?
