    I'm nearly sure I say both of those at a show in Cork a few yrs back. It had Bret Hart, Scotty too Hotty, Sabu, Rene Dupree as well.

    Anyone else at that show that could confirm this?

    AFAIK, he was working CHIKARA this weekend. He's worked for them before so it's a little surprising if it's them he is unhappy with.

    Lesnar is hardly menacing in the Octagon,
    he has been absolutely battered any time I've seen him in it.
    my money would be on the king of kings

    I don't follow UFC closely but Lesnar must have been pretty handy to say he won the heavyweight title there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭srm23


    i think he had some illness and hasnt been the same since.
    he has been cowering in the corner being beaten badly the 3 times
    ive watched him, one time he got lucky cause a guy gassed himself
    in the first round and the ref didnt stop it then lesnar made him tap,
    the other two times it was stopped.
    then Undie had a go at a semi-concious Brock!

    it sort of ruined my image of him as an unstoppable beast,
    lucky for wwe most dont watch it!

    He won the title off RandyCoutoure who was well into his 40's and giving up about 60lbs, he was 1-1 at the time. Anytime he was put in with someone who could punch he did not want no ppart of it. His bowel condition had nothing to do with the fact he cannot and would not take a real punch from guys his size who can punch heavy

    Congratulations, you are wrong! His bowel condition had everything to do with it, he never returned to form after it. While Frank Mir isn't known as a "heavy hitter" his striking ability is not to be overlooked and Lesnar dominated him. Also look at his fight with Carwin, a well known heavy hitter who very nearly knocked Lesnar out, but he toughed it out and won by submission. In his short UFC tenure he established himself as a world class wrestler with great ground and pound.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    The impression I got was he was quality when on offence, but almost useless on defence unless his opponent tried to wrestle him.

    He can't take a punch. Are you telling me thats a secret?? Carwin had him, most judges would of called it earlier then Carwin gassed. He used lost to mir, beat crazy horse which was easy, beat a tired old randy who still got in a good shot and wobbled him with an uppercut IIRC. Carwin showed he can't take a punch. He cowers when hit hard.

    Jesus christ.

    Brock Lesnar is an NCAA amateur wrestling champion who spent years learning the craft of MMA. HHH is a professional-wrestler with an array of injuries and is in his mid 40's. HHH wouldn't last 10 seconds with him.

    With the exception of an early loss to Mir as the result of experience - Brock only lost to a roided up Overeem, and a man who just wrecked Junior Dos Santos - Cain Velasquez. Brock was a beast at heavyweight. There's no shame in losing to either of those guys.

    Brock is a legitimate fighter, and smashes most guys at heavyweight. Not many guys beat an in shape Frank Mir - Brock did with ease.

    Anyway, move on lads. If ye want to talk HHH Vs Lesnar, take it to the WM preshow thread. This is not a chat thread.

    Busted for the second time on this charge. :rolleyes:
    WWE wrestler Jimmy Uso (a/k/a Jonathan Solofa Fatu) was arrested on Wednesday morning in Hillsborough County, Florida and charged with driving under the influence. He was released on a $500 cash bond a few hours later. You can view his arrest report at HCSO.tampa.fl.us.

    At least Jey can drive him when his license is taken away.

    - Before Monday's RAW hit the air, the original script they had for Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel was a "really bad" one so they changed it completely and spent hours re-doing the segment. There was also a problem with the Jeritron that was in the ring. During the playing of The Marine 3 trailer, the WWE ring crew had to remove the Jeritron from the ring. This caused more problems for the segment and Jericho was forced to improvise.

    The segment really took a turn for the worse when Brad Maddox came out. The Jeritron was supposed to be involved in Maddox's presentation but it wasn't in the ring anymore, he lost track and flubbed his promo on live TV.

    Even before Maddox came out, Vince McMahon had instructed Michael Cole to bury the segment on commentary. There was some heat on Cole with the feeling that the segment was bad but most people wouldn't have noticed or said anything if it weren't for his comments drawing attention.

    Backstage, Vince was calling the segment one of the worse ever and Maddox was the one blamed.

    That's a huge role for him. Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones) for some reason was offered the role and turned it down.

    Yeah it's a big role for Batista but I think this or the proposed Ant-Man film are going to be a stretch too far for Marvel.

    It really is unbelievable if this it true. Vince authorises everything that goes on TV, then he blames Maddox?? What the hell could he have possibly done to save that segment, not to mention that Vince had already instructed Cole to bury it before it started so what is Maddox supposed to do? So strange.

    As someone said, if Cole hadn't have said anything people would have just remembered it as a really good triple threat IC title match being set up for the following week.

    LOL! But why would he? Virgil leeched off his star power for his WWF career, and DiBiase spent all of 1991 trying to get him over. Also Virgil's been coaxing people to his signing table for years with a banner that says Million Dollar Man and Virgil! :D

    I know its a few months old but stumbled across it, very interesting few paragraphs....imagine the butterfly effect godfather becoming papa shango again and their being no kane!

    http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/The_Godfather_Interview_-_Losing_A_Spot_In_The_nWo_Papa_Shango_Return_Nixed_The_Rock.html
    Charles Wright, more famously known as The Godfather and Papa Shango, recently spoke to IMETAWrestler.com on a slew topics concerning his career. Highlights from the interview are as follows:

    On the Papa Shango character: "I used to read books on voodoo, in fact I built an entire voodoo library. Everything I said in my promos was real and legit. All the props were from voodoo stores. It was totally authentic. The effects guys worked with the staffs and sticks so that they all did something different. I had a bunch of them - some would shoot sparks, others had smoke and lights that came out of them."

    How Sid messed up the character: "Papa Shango was supposed to last much longer in the main event but Sid f---ed it up. It was supposed to be Sid and Warrior headlining SummerSlam [1992], but Sid didn't want to do it and he quit. He had his own issues, he said Vince had brought him in under the promise of replacing Hogan as the top babyface and it wasn't going the way it was supposed to. So Papa Shango was fed to Warrior instead. The problem was, with a character like Papa Shango, once the losses piled up, the character lost a lot of that mystique and invincibility, and it was all downhill fast from there."

    Papa Shango returning in 1997 but replaced by Kane: "A lot of people don't know this, but Papa Shango was going to return in 1997. It was going to be a more gritty, realistic version with a mask instead of paint.They created the costume and the new entrance. But what happened was, the decision was then made to do Kane. I guess they felt there wasn’t enough room for two dark, supernatural characters, and so I became Kama Mustafa and they put me in The Nation. I've still got some 8x10 promos of me in the new mask and gear."

    Why Vince put The Rock in The Nation: "The Rock was put into The Nation to protect him. Vince had big plans for The Rock from day one and was worried that he had been getting bad advice from the wrong people. Some jealous dudes had been getting into his ear. So Vince put Rock in the Nation so he could benefit from the guidance of Ron [Simmons] and myself. It was the same thing with Mark Henry. Mark was a big long term investment that was getting some bad advice, learning some bad habits, and so Vince put him under myself and Ron for guidance. Both those guys were struggling."

    Vince's opinion of The Godfather: "Vince loved the gimmick. Loved it. He used to go to bat for me so many times – fighting the networks, fighting the executives. He did everything he could to keep the character as a central part of the show. Vince used to come to me and say, "Charles – he always called me Charles – you’re having too much fun out there. You should be paying me!" And that didn’t surprise me – Vince is the biggest pimp of them all!"

    On the Attitude Era: "I got away with talking about weed so openly on TV because the network executives had no idea what I was saying. They didn’t understand the slang. They had no idea what a "fatty" or a "blunt" was, so I was able to say all this stuff and they had no clue. My friend in Cypress Hill said he was amazed at the **** I got away with."

    On almost joining WCW and the nWo: "I almost went to WCW to be Hogan’s enforcer in the nWo. I named my price, the contract was being drawn up, and then at the last minute, I got a call saying the contract was being retracted and there was no longer an offer for me. I was stunned, man, just stunned. I asked why, and it turned out that Virgil offered to do it for a third of the price because he wanted to be back on TV so bad. That dumb motherf---er cost us both."

    Hopefully she's not desperately insecure to have to throw herself at any actor with a little star power. Gary Busey beware! I wonder, thanks to her affiliation with George Clooney, if more people in the world know who she is, than John Cena?

    Dana White reveals offer to face Vince McMahon



    On Montreal TV tonight, when Dana White was being interviewed by former NHL player Denis Gauthier, Jr., Gauthier as a joke brought up the idea of him fighting Vince McMahon.

    White, surprisingly, revealed that in fact Vince McMahon had wanted to do the match. White said that he respects Vince, and that Vince will probably freak out when he says this, but that Vince was too old, and he said Vince is not going to want to hear that.

    White vs. Vince McMahon was Vince's idea for a main event at WrestleMania 27.

    Unbeknownst to Dana White, the guy who interviewed him is the son of a Montreal pro wrestler, Denis Gauthier, and his wife, Joanne Rougeau (daughter of legendary Montreal wrestler Jacques Rougeau Sr., as sister of Raymond and Jacques Jr.), was the former local wrestling promoter for WWF at the same Bell Centre where tomorrow night's UFC is coming from.

    WWE vs UFC with Brock vs Undertaker too.

    I wouldnt be surprised. She was seen everywhere with Clooney so even if people didnt know what she did, they knew who she was. Cena meanwhile, outside wrestling, only has a couple of crap films to his name. DWTS alone probably made Stacy more well known than Cena.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,865 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    Happily (for Clooney anyway) the reports of their split are "a total fabrication" according to his spokesperson. Much like their relationship if you believe various rumours!
