Quite right, I stand corrected :)

Rampage Jackson murdered that door my god. Is anyone seeing Fedor on CBS on November 7?

[WrestlingRoundtable]

I hope I do, Fedor's the man! Not sure if I'm going to be able to catch it live or not but definitely watching it sometime.

Also, Rampage vs. the door is the best fight this season of The Ultimate Fighter has had.

I love your show guys, its been too long. but i guess sometimes you run short on topics. Have you guys done a show on tag teams or lack of good tag teams in wwe or on the current trend of second and third generation performers in wwe, those would be good topics to discuss. keep up the good work guys.

"What's the point of driving to Hooters and wasting gas money?"

Well, I can think of several pairs of reasons ;) But in all seriousness, I agree that all the PPVs are the same, every week is monotonous and it's just not entertaining anymore. Every once in a while, you'll hear of a great match, like Morrison vs Mysterio on Smackdown a while ago. But I'd rather look those matches up on my own when I hear about them and not waste time sitting through the same old BS week after week.

l totally agree.

And Eric I respectfully disagree with what you said about how Kimbo should have boxed instead of going into MMA. At best Kimbo would have beaten some club fighters and then gotten manhandled by a skilled fighter. At least in MMA, to a large degree, he can stand and strike with guys who are normally unpolished with how they throw. I guess wither way the end result is the same, he beats a few tomato cans and then gets owned by anyone who is respectable. Good show as always guys.

I think UFC more often than not fail to live up to the hype, at least for me. I respect MMA fighters as athletes, I mean these guys are willing to get punched in the face and submitted for crying out loud. Sadly though, I never view UFC as something that I am willing to buy. Shogun earned that victory and finally fought like we know he can. Machida has now been figured out and I think he weill fall in his next fight. I am tired of buying ppvs that have one good fight.

i want porn talk!!!

I think the main reason for the horrible decision at UFC 104 is more down to the stupid "10 Point" System than judges not knowing how to do their jobs.

2 of the 3 judges gave Machida rounds 1, 2 and 3, which isn't out of the bounds of reality. Sure, they were close but an argument could be made that Machida won them.

Shogun clearly won rounds 4 and 5 but lost on points because of the stupid system

I think UFC should do what PRIDE did and have the judges judge a victor based on the WHOLE fight

It did seem like WWE was trying to bring some credibility back to the I-C title (despite still having that ugly Attitude Era title belt) with the quality of Jericho/Mysterio and Mysterio/Morrison...havng the I-C title on Smackdown, which is clearly the better show from a wrestling standpoint, also helps....they just need to get the prestige back to the title--and they desperately need some new blood in the title picture

I have the u. Fighter is great .
