I think it's funny how after one minute you already have a thread up.
Clearly on this matter you knew what you have done.
I don't even know
She looks so much better in that non-tan, non-makeup pic that was posted in that thread. Pretty damn cute without all that gunk.
On a 1-10 scale of threads you should avoid Snooki threads would be a -5, you would never think you could get banned over posting in a Snooki thread. Yet here the impossible has happened.I think it's funny how after one minute you already have a thread up.

Yeah but Goldberg looked cool. Like, say what you want about ability, but guy had an amazing 'look'.
Ryback just looks stupid.

What happens first? Wellness violation pop or world title?
What are you talking about the guy is all natural.

he must be taking trt for lowered testosterone levels, its cool
What I liked about Goldberg's streak was how he was beating up guys that were either his size or bigger than him from the get go. You rarely saw him against guys who were smaller than him.
I know we're only a few weeks into Ryback's streak, but so far, he's just beating up guys who are 150-175 lbs soaking wet, and I think that has to be one reason why Ryback isn't getting much of a reaction from live crowds so far. I mean, of course he's going to dominate guys who are half his size!
Not only did Goldberg have the look, but he really did have that "it factor" that got the crowd on his side very quickly. When he performed a power move, it got a response from the crowd nearly every time. While he never was the most graceful wrestler, the man did have a level of charisma that was exhibited in his matches.

Rhyhorn (I'm determined to get that name over dammit) will likely blow out a leg/arm/back before anything.
In other news, here's a giant list of Rock moments for his 40th Birthday:

But then he'll return even stronger than ever, he'll be even more Rhyperior (Or Rhydon for you 150'ers)
Clearly not hoverhanding and going for boob. The kid is destined for greatness.
Some people here must be jealous of the kid.

He'll only be Rhyperior once he gets traded to Smackdown.
Jimmy Korderas named him Ryberg after the goldberg chants at extreme rules. I like that one. Well on this friday smackdown he actually going to wrestle someone from nxt!

One of the best things CHIKARA has ever done. It was really cool how they fought through the entire store in basically one shot. Tim Donst plays the crazy guy pretty well. Donst was great with his comments throughout the thing I laughed a few times. He has really gotten awesome this past year. If I have one complaint it's that there was no Jakob involvement. His hilarity would have made this legend. Keep ignoring awesome promotions like CHIKARA and keep bitching about WWE and obsessing over Kane dudes.
Some people here must be jealous of the kid.
He'll never wash his hand again.
This is seriously awesome.

I would have loved to have heard the conversations between Dave and Vince. Same for the ones he had with Bischoff.

I just imagine Vince going NUTS every time Dave interrupts him and goes off on some insane tangent.
Hello sports entertainment friends, I'd like to poll members of Wrassle-GAF to see what percentage of fans are also fans of Ultimate Fighting, pro wrestling's second cousin.
If I had to speak for the Ultimate Fighting community on GAF, it appears that a majority of our members are former pro wrestling fans that have branched out to other forms of sports entertainment.
here are some informative posts if you would like to learn more about Ultimate Fighting.

I encourage some of the disillusioned fans of sports entertainment to join the most insular sports entertainment community on GAF.
We've got squash matches, bad booking, an egomaniac president/company spokesman, some good mic work, and our pay-per-views are on Saturday.
Regards

Vince used to be alot cooler and less hot headed back then. They had all their storylines planned out a year in advance and would let the guys know who they were facing all the way down the line. The richer and older he got the more insular and insane he got.

Imagine the greatest buddy cop movie ever: Vince, the loose cannon, trying to get out of a sticky situation by bullshitting then Dave pointing the holes in what he says by bringing up house show attendance records from 1983 or some other random trivia.

I'm a fan....I can enjoy a good match, but I can't sit through it all day like I can pro wrestling.

I gave UFC a chance a while ago, but didn't get hooked - I should really give it another go, as I liked the spectacle and enjoyed the hell out of Edgar vs Maynard 3, also I'm a big fan of shoot-style pro-wrestling like BattlArts & UWFi; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TvG_218kus
I'm a fan of MMA as well, but I'm still slowly learning about it, so I'm a novice at best. I have more of a background watching pro wrestling dating back to '97, but I'm starting to enjoy watching MMA as well.
sounds like you'd be a fan of former japanese pro wrestler Sakuraba, or Josh Barnett with his catch wrestling and great mic skills.
Are you aware of the history of the PRIDE MMA promotion in Japan? Originally having roots in UWFI and shoot-style wrestlers like Kazushi Sakuraba, Nobuhiko Takada, Kazuyuki Fujita etc. from that era transitioning to fighting in legitimate MMA matches.
MMA and wrestling are a lot more closely tied than most people think with Inoki etc.
He was gushing about the match on his live blog so this isn't much of a surprise.
Other ratings?
I was just curious because I was a longtime fan of pro wrestling but stopped watching during 02 or 03. I browse wrestling threads on GAF from time to time and am always surprised at how overwhelmingly negative the tone of the thread is in general.
So I was just curious what % of people tried the Ultimate out as a way to try to get their sports entertainment fix, or to the uninitiated an invitation to the insular community as it is.

The Bryan match was 4 stars and the Punk one was 3 and a half.
EDIT: The others were
Orton/Kane: 3 stars
Brodus/Dolph: 1 star
Cody/Big Show: 1/4 star
Ryback squash: 1/4 star
Layla/Bella(s): dud
Pro wrestling fans looking to get into MMA are probably best checking out a fight that has a great storyline behind it. Silva/Sonnen 2 is a great example of this since it has a better storyline than anything the WWE has done in years. Watch the countdown shows, get to know who the guys are and why they are fighting each other and it becomes much more enjoyable for a beginner.
