Strikeforce: Josh Barnett's "Hard Times" Pro Wrestling Match at Media Workout

[pinfold1000]

tna break out your check book for this kid

[TheSands83]

That was the fuckin coolest.things ive ever seen

[Atomikenrtia]

I absolutely love the sound that wrestling shoes make on a mat. Weird, I know.

[REVENGEANCE206]

Josh Barnett is fucking awesome! cant wait til he is back in the UFC!!

[9InchWarrior]

Who is this dude he's wrestling with? Guy seems like a pro, so if he's a genuine MMA fighter too thats pretty awesome

[axatwoodx]

@9InchWarrior His name is Eric Hammer he wrestles in Japan and also trains with Barnett in Catch Wrestling and competes in BJJ tournaments, to my knowledge hes never competed in MMA however.

[AristophanesNow]

Dana wasted all the Brock Lesnar hype on the wrong guy! 

[YSKite]

Indeed zigy, those Jew bastards!

[RafaelRoberto840]

This is how Kevin Randleman knocked himself out in the locker room

[zigyzigy13]

The JEWS are probably accusing him of using steroids, the JEWS, as always.

[cliffyknight]

Brett Rogers needs to go back to changing tires.

[davtagr8]

that was .....AWESOME

[Jackthemeat]

This is like an Inside joke for all the old school wrestling fans. whooo !

[ohhroach]

barnett looks exhausted

[unlockthepower]

More realistic looking than anything the WWE ever did.

[naraic1020]

Is it just me or does the uppercut at 2:25 look real haha

[axatwoodx]

That was bad ass, how often do you see an MMA fighter do a pro wrestling match in his open workout then cut an incredible promo right afterward?

Definitely pulling for him tonight regardless of the steroids and all the shit people talk about him.

[joeydipp]

Love this! Hard times = Dust Rhodes! Figure four leg lock, Whooo = Ric Flair!!!!! Love it.

[shoveah1]

The man isa Roid poet

[RGwhelan15]

well this proves that Barentt lost his stamina kinda sad to see him breathing soo hard

[johnmoser01]

If only he had a lisp and wore poka dots.

[SinisterSkip]

"pro" wrestlin FTW!

[piscataway53]

Rogers, Barnett is coming for you nigga!

[Johnnykool2000]

A nice tribute to Dusty Roads.

[IAmSakuraba]

Catch as catch can wrestling. Look it up

[dagreatcapri82]

I get it but then i dont get it. He's honoring his pro wrestling/catch wrestling roots by having an exhibition pro style wrestling match to show mma fans of how effective it is in mma. But then, how is this going to appeal in the real fight with rogers, whom is not going to "work" and "sell" holds and strikes. I love the concept but barnett needs to get really serious about mma and leave the pro wrestling in the ring.

[Funkmastabuzz]

I understand he has hard times but bringing this kind of WWE talk to MMA is not going to do him any favors just bring himself more hard times.

[00PC00]

@Funkmastabuzz It was a joke.

[scorpgul]

WWE? lol

[JMoore4291]

the first half was stupid, second half even more

[WingKrest]

Uh Josh...you should train for your fight that's...you know, tonight.

[Magjee]

Hilarious.

[chadley6916]

this is why these guys are not in ufc

[FLASH2394]

@chadley6916 u do realize barnett is a former ufc champion

[chadley6916]

@FLASH2394

yup...a LONG time ago, lots has changed since then

[FLASH2394]

@chadley6916 the point is simply that barnett was never a bad fighter. the only reason hes not in the ufc is because he takes steroids

[chadley6916]

@FLASH2394

Umm, no, that's not the only reason!

[BimmMasterJ]

amazing. <3 Barnett

[stephberg]

I didn't like Josh for a long time based on the media coverage of him. yes, he made a mistake, but as I watch the interviews of his return to fighting in the US, i cant help but like him. I hope he does well Saturday

[xiViaarksman]

@stephberg 100% exaclty how I feel, really like how he speaks his mind and doesn't give a flying fuck either lol

[c9mavrick]

He got that promo from dusty rhodes the American Dream.

[RPJCleaning]

That was a pretty good promo at the end!

[skogsturken]

The more you yell the more the steriods is a lie? I don't get this, YOU GOT BUSTED JOSH.

[mrdoonbeg]

cool

[KennedyMrKennedy]

This is better than any of the shit WWE has pumped out in years.

[cooldoodleofastorp]

Fun work-out, liked the grappling and especially liked his speech.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

lol he used the figure four.

[PokemonMONDO]

war ariel HUG

[Officialdjrs]

lol

[MrFenlinho]

Bobby Lashley should of used this style.

[doRseries1]

wheres brock lesnar to beat josh up. look what happened to frank mir when he took a shot at brocks past wrestling

[stoneddan]

@doRseries1

Yeah he got submitted :D.

[victorhd]

@doRseries1 Josh Barnett is a pro wrestler in Japan. He loves to wrestle. Hes not making fun of it.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@doRseries1

He wasn't taking a shot or making fun of it. Seems like he's a fan.

[Backslapped]

@doRseries1 Josh Barnett use to do pro wrestling in Japan... Dont talk when you are ignorant of the situation.

[GE2A2D]

Barnett just made me cry

[freewaffles666]

this is epic

[therealmohammad]

pro wrestling like boxing has lost all of its pep, theres nothing to look foward to

[f9hunter]

hmm idk if doing pro wrestling and mma both at the same time is a good thing.

[R0bbathehutt]

Well if he loses to Rogers it certainly looks like he would be right at home in the WWE that was a pretty decent promo.

[rLeev505]

this is very entertaining

[SuperMjw88]

barnetts preparing for life after strikeforce

[xhectichectorx]

@SuperMjw88 during...is more like it...for many years now Josh has been doing both overseas

[MMA4LIFE20]

wat the fuck r these guys doing?

[gspsucks]

funny seeing all the keyboard warriors who were watching wwe jus 2 years ago, now acting like pro wrestling is below them. none of u fags could last in mma or wwe so stfu.

[gspsucks]

why is he talking like a black guy in his end promo? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL "imma put dat on u bret rogers"

[emericaordie15]

Crazy monkey nigasssss

[drdjmk]

LOL :D Greatness!

[TheAwesometom420]

Gotta love Josh Barnett!!

[bradmaster13]

This may be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[dirtylos30]

what the fuck is this?

[sirjohnrambo]

how does WWF style "wrestling" get you ready for such an important MMA tourney??

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@sirjohnrambo

How does a below average pro wrestling esque Dusty Rhodes promo get you prepared for a tourney?

[stepaniss]

what is i dont even..... what?

[XinKotetsu]

Goddamnit Ariel why are you wasting your and everyone else's time with this bullshit?

[xGoC]

@XinKotetsu Who's time is he wasting? Everyone seems to enjoy this video. You don't have to watch if you don't want to.

[elmeeone]

2011 wwe champ!!!

[superdopesmoker4201]

what

the

fuck

...

[ikebanaJc]

Maybe he might know or think that his career is in stake, so he's demonstrating his pro-wrestling talents and skills so he can do a reverse Brock Lesner career choice.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@ikebanaJc

Ken Shamrock did it for a while.

[pignonMZ6]

What's with the "wooooo!!!" Josh does after the interview? Is it a "cultural" American thing? Is it a Michael Jackson homage? Is it supposed to be cool?

[BlaqheartXZ]

@pignonMZ6 It's a homage to the wrestler Ric Flair I think.

[pignonMZ6]

@BlaqheartXZ Must be

[hollaatme2671]

never liked barnett, hate his interviews, dont even like his fights much lol.. but on some real shit that speech at the end is the highlight of this video and probably any hes ever done

[cujo905]

Pretty funny, but man imagine Barnett got cut accidentally or injured..I hope he subs Rogers in the 1st...Alot of people only mention steroids when it comes to Barnett but the facts are he is one of the most skilled fighters in HW History and hopefully he shows it in this GP without any more problems..

[dtp1332]

that was so fucking gay hahaha

[guitar16]

LOL LIKE THIS WASNT FUCKIN REHEARSED! 2 GROWN MEN SWEATIN BALLS ALL OVER EACH OTHER WHILE THEIR WIVES SCRATCH THEIR HEADS LIKE 'WTF ARE THESE 2 LOSERS DOING AGAIN?' HAHAHAHA

[Ubergeekpie]

[ufcyoakum87]

[rturo22]

[GollyWogCum181]

[Harakirip33l0]

[oxsideswipexo]

[izzydub]

Gay!!!

[Tranceation]

Hard times huh...? Finding someone to buy "Juice" from for the 4th time? =D He is g unna whoop Rogers ass though.

[burgerkingsucks1]

[Snitzky666]

Lame and very annoying to watch. They look foolish. Are these grown men ?

[AwesomerPrime]

he's got a job with tna or wwe if he pisses hot again and loses a fighting job.

[TheOverfiendDj]

Pelwani

[GavMaca]

Channeling Dusty Rhodes! Fine stuff!

[steroidsischeating]

People who don't watch MMA will watch this and think its real o.O

[flipsipp199076]

[pearcemark2]

@flipsipp199076 Because it's more entertaining than anything else that's ever happened at an Open Workout

[alexisironman]

@flipsipp199076 he's a famous pro-wrestler in Japan

[ThomasTheCure]

*facepalm*...?

[AsAboveSoBelow01]

It'd be funny is he actually got injured doing this.

[Peyoteblack]

Little Brock Lesnar

[NWOOWN]
