I didn't know you could watch free wrestling on the FiteTV site, gave Booker T's promotion a watch (Reality of Wrestling).
Booker does local commercials between matches! Show wasn't bad either, good production values. |

Wonder if Joey Ryan picked that name specifically for the maximum amount of awkwardness its going to cause to anyone going or talking about the event. Especially without any context or to people who don't follow wrestling. Like if someone asks what your doing over that weekend and you mention going to a Penis Party show. |

I think he picked the name because either A. he's a fucking moron who doesn't belong in the wrestling business and he caters to a bunch of dumb shits who never grew out of the "Penises are funny" phase of their life or B. it's an accurate depiction of the audience, as there will be no women there.

I was thinking about his today and wondering if it’s just the volume of shows that is making WWE so difficult to write for. I have basically switched WWE out as a hobby and replaced it completely with MMA. While I enjoy the fights, recently, they have been able to generate great stories and massive intrigue around fights...
Mike Perry vs “Cowboy” Donald Cerrone In this one, Cerrone is a long time vet of the UFC, slowly creeping up on the record for the most wins, although his best days are now behind him. He was matched up with young, talented Mike Perry who represents younger crowd, always on instagram and a world away from Cerrones personality. He chose to come and train at Cerrone’s gym and when he complained about it, suggesting it would be a conflict of interests, the gym held a meeting and decided to basically keep Perry and basically (summarizing) chose him over Cerrone. Since then, all sorts of details have come out and the fight has this fascinating backstory going into it. Each man is real, but they have their own characters and personalities and the story arch makes the fight extremely interesting. Tyron Woodley vs Dana White Dana White is the owner of the UFC and was hyping up young, loud Liverpudlian Darren Till to take the title off Eoodley. Leaks suggest that they see him as difficult to work with and too demanding a personality. Woodley had also been criticized by fans because of boring fights and focusing on other ventures in the past. Come fight time, he annihilates Till, winning over fans and a disgusted White leaves the event without doing media duty. He is in the process of setting up yet another young, controversial grappler, in Colby Covington, to try to take Woodley down. Khabib vs Connor Khabib Nurmagomedov is an undefeated Russian grappler, known for his wrestling and sambo (who does that remind you of?). His father made him wrestle bears as a youngster and he is as serious a personality as they come. Tensions between him and the increasingly volatile McGregor cane to a head after a UFC event when McGregor threw a gurney through a bus window to try to intimidate Khabib into getting off the bus, injuring other fighters in the process. The recent presser was done with no fans because of security issues and had a tense and overly excited McGregor having people question possible drug use and his mental state before the biggest fight of his career. It’s a cold, serious wrestler vs a volatile, badtempered striker. Two men who clearly hate each other and it’s probably going to be the biggest selling event in UFC The tale of Francis Ngannou Ngannou exploded onto the scene with a series of highlight reel finishes culminating in almost sending Alistair Overeem into orbit before getting a heavyweight title fight. The much hyped Ngannou lost amid rumors about his ego and lack of preparation for the fight. In his comeback fight, commentators watched in stunned silence as he barely through any offense for 3 rounds in one of the most bizarre fights in the history of the company. Afterwards he admitted that “the fear” had gotten him. Where does he go from here and can he overcome “the fear”? A lot probably won’t read that but it got me thinking about how the intrigue and stories not only build up excitement for the fight, but also create new names and promote the fighters, creating constant new stars in the process. With every big card, we are seeing fighters being proactive and calling out other fighters in a competitive rankings system where every fight means something and has worth Basically, UFC has.., - Big Personalities - Rivalries - Intriguing Stories - Found an easy way for all matches to have importance It seems to me like what should be WWE’s biggest strength (control), has become their biggest weakness, as no one can be an individual and they exert too much control on stories, forcing fan opinion rather than just letting things happen Last edited by Maluco; 09-26-2018 at 11:43 AM. |

@ OLD RASSLIN FANS
Would Brock Lesnar have beat Minoro Suzuki in a 'MMA Battle' if both were in their primes?? |

I'd still give Lesnar a realistic chance though since most of Suzuki's losses came via TKO or decisions and Lesnar would have the power and likely speed advantage in that fight. |

Joined a fire pro e-fed cause I'm super gay. More of an e-NWA, as everyone gets a promotion in a different region. Time period is 1980 and will progress from there. Been pretty fun so far doing the draft and designing the logo and ring. I got Stan Hansen who ended up being voted the inaugural world champion.

Some people are doing big write ups. Some guys are making intros and inserting 80's commercials in between matches.
I don't personally have time for all that so I'm just writing a quick blurb about the matches and streaming the card on twitch. |

If a ten year old can become champion by doing absolutely nothing, then Curt Hawkins can become champion by getting his ass handed to him and surprising us all with a quick pinfall victory. Have his partner do most of the work but the pinfall would be Hawkins', just so we can get "that moment". |

Reminded me of the “who is Vince’s son?” angle. WWE put up a poll with everyone on the roster and loads of people hijacked it and voted for Stevie Richards. So they had Coach bring Stevie to Vince and say “here’s who people think is your son” and Vince just flat out laughed in his face. In both cases it was like WWE blatantly telling you “we hear you, but we don’t care”. |

In fairness, while you have to be in tune with and know how to read crowd reactions, you don't necessarily want to give the fans exactly what they want. Especially the neckbeards of today who are honestly the dumbest fucking idiots around, and basing decisions around what they want will actually hurt your business.

Nobody is asking for Hawkins to go over Roman for the Universal Championship - although I’m sure there are some that wouldn’t against the idea. But WWE aren’t even featuring Hawkins. It’d be a harmless 10 minute segment once a week on Raw.

Hawkins is really solid he should be featured. He should get a big win over someone like Baron Corbin or Elias randomly and start a program.
