It's fucking weak when WRESTLING roundtable talks about MMA. I don't subscribe to this to hear your opinions about MMA, I want to hear about wrestling. Seriously, come on.

[WrestlingRoundtable]

So unsubscribe, we don't need your bitching

"Black Lesnar"! Hahaha!

Great show as always, guys.

From Brock's antics to Fedor's Strikeforce signing to Lashley's MMA record, you guys really show how well informed you are without being pretentious and coming off as know it alls.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next show.

[WrestlingRoundtable]

Wells thanks very much for your compliments & continued support! It means a lot!

...Are you people stupid?

Go read the channel info. Right now. What does it say? It says it's a wrestling/mma themed show.

Ugh.

[GrapplingKings]

Edge said Brock never drew? Is that why Smackdown went to shits when Brock left. Edge couldn't draw a picture let alone a crowd.

Fedor vs Brock

Hmm i think Brock is hot headed and will make mistakes against Fedor. Once he does, the end.

[WWECW1990]

Good Bruce Buffer impression, Eric!

[1Natecore]

its great to see wrestling psychology exploit a whole new universe of people that don't even know they're being played...where the wrestling fan has become a bit more savvy, these MMA fans are the same marks when wrestling first began. Or maybe I'm being played and I'm giving Brock too much credit.

[1Natecore]

Everything Brock learned about selling yourself as the heel he used to perfection in his post match antics. What I personally love is hearing all the MMA fans that just personally hate Brock and thats what a great heel does. These people will pay good money to see somebody pound Brock's face in and hopefully for UFC he'll keep winning before he eventually gets beat.

Maybe wrestling and MMA should be different worlds, but its great to see Brock blur the lines to sell himself and his matches.

[helpmedie91111]

I didn't say it or agree. I was in fact having a dig Edge I did say "Maybe he should look in the mirror". The main point was that he (Brock) is the character I never thought he would be. This is my opinion mind, not fact and I thought he was a great wwe wrestler I hated watching him do the mexican music crap in the program against Eddie. The irony (again in my opinion) that he has become the character on top of amazing talent that he arguable never became in wwe.

Later guys

[GrapplingKings]

I agree I think it's time people discredit Brock because he spent 2 years of his life making money in WWE. Nobody said a WORD when Shamrock came back after his WWE/TNA stints. Randy went to do movies and nobody badmouthed him for that. If MMA is going to grow people can't be so protective of the sport.

[logan48227]

You guys have talked about movies. Didn't you do an in-depth review of The Wrestler?

Just review movies with wrestlers or mma fighters in them, like the new Stallone movie when it comes out.

[MrUltimateTKO]

Yeah, the MMA purists are morons, ignorant and hypocritical.
