Strikeforce:Miami Delivers HardHitting MMA Spectacular...

It's all said and done and the Fights presented last night Delivered Big unfortunately the crowd last night just outside Miami failed to do the same by my estimation...You have a pretty decent card being presented in sunrise, Fla. with guys that bolster some accomplishments here, and the Crowd was @ best respectful and not very enthusiatic thru most of the show...Let's run down the top 5 fights: Current TNA Superstar Bobby Lashley defeated Wes Sims to lift his record to 5-0 @ 2:06 in the 1st round...Lashley has power and good flexibility for someone as stacked as he is and brings in impressive credentials from both amateur and Pro-Wrestling...His opponent however is not by any means the top MMA Superstar or Champion that will bring top level competition to the table...Lashley at this points needs to be challenged..He is good but he is no Brock Lesnar who would actually give Fedor Emelianenko(Strikeforce's Top Dog) a real challenge...Bobby needs to develope more aggresion to Match up with Fedor and actually give him a fight...At this point and time I don't see that in his performance yet..But as he has said, he is a student of the game, and he is still developing....

KO of the night had to go to Robbie Lawler @ 3:33 in the 1st round...He completely stopped Melvin Manhoeff with a right hook that left Melvin literally unconciuos (devestating shot) infact lawler thru a total of 3 strikes all match, he was pummeled for 3:30 with severe leg kicks that left his right leg completely bruised where he had trouble walking after the fight...One shot..BAM..Amazing.....Got the knock out...

Then 47 year old Hershel walker (now 1-0)made his Pro debut in MMA by defeating Greg Nagy that came in with 1-2 record and left with a 1-3 record, Clearly this guy is not one of the better MMA fighters out there today...Hershel trained hard performed and proved a point to fans and cretics alike..Age may not be a factor for some...For the 145 Womans Title, Champ and Brazilian Powerhouse Cris"Cyborg"Santos defeated a very tough Marloes Coenen to retain the Belt in the 3rd round with a TKO..Cyborg goes to 9-1 and Marloes to 17-4...

Then Strikeforce's WW Title was up for grabs as both competitors went in it to take the Belt..Nick Diaz was relentless and fittin to his name "Ruthless" as he pounded Marius Zaromskis to capture the Vacant Title @ 4:38 in the 1st round...

All and all it was a good presentation of MMA, the fans in Fla. left a lot to be desired reaction to the action wise....I'd like to see a formidable and challenging opponent for Bobby Lashley now that he is signed to compete in a future broadcast...Congrats to the winners last night for a job well done...To the losers, back to the drawing board...

Strikeforce finally books Bobby Lashley vs. Wes Simms giving both men one week to prepare...

As the old saying goes: better late then never...Such is the case here in finding an opponent for Bobby Lashley....That victim perhaps appears to be Wes Simms...Only the actual fight can determine how this will go but in all likelyhood Simms is being put in a position to literally get pummeled to raise Lashley's standing in the MMA world....He is accomplished as an amateur wrestler and as a Pro-Wrestler as well..That's pretty obvious but can and will he be able to do the same in MMA? That's really the Question here!!
Unless they can book Lashley against a formidable and accomplished opponent in this fight game that question will really never be answered...I'm thinking Bobby vs. Fedor in the future and I am hoping that this will come to pass in Strikeforce......In any event good luck to all the combatants tommorrow night and let's have a great show....

WWE vs. TNA Match of the Night...A J Styles retains World Title with pin over Kurt Angle...

Last Monday Night was like older times when both of the major Pro-Wrestling organizations went head to head for Ratings supremacy...The result was as expected with WWE Winning the war with a rating of 3.7 while TNA did an all time high of 1.5 generating just under 2.3 million viewers which technically is a huge win in regards to the demographic that they are targeting...All in all it was a great night of Pro-Wrestling and Sports Entertainment as a whole...The fans ultimately were the winners...Some excellent matches were presented on both sides...The clear winner however by my estimation for match of the night was the TNA World Title match which saw both combatants AJ Styles and Kurt Angle Wrestle for the Belt on what was a spectacular match...I thought that Angle would end up getting the upper hand and keeping it to a finish...He applied his finisher on Styles at least 4 times once even sitting on the mat with leverage and AJ still was able release himself from that position and after a huge exchange of moves and counters from both men Styles was relentless in beating Angle with his Finisher, after the 3rd attempt he finally got a clean pin in the center of the ring...Awesome match that by my estimation won match of the night(seems fitting since it was for the Belt)...The big guns that were the focal part of the Shows Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan did also deliver with announcements that will ultimately be extremely beneficial and exciting for future shows for both WWE and TNA...I did not expect RAW to end as it did with Mr. McMahon kicking Bret Hart in his jewels, but it left a clif hanger so to speak as to what will come out of this in weeks to come...I see perhaps The New Hart Dynasty inflicting some pain on the McMahon clan that will obviously be directed by Bret with a possible Bret vs Vince showdown at Wrestlemania where Hart will in likelihood leave McMahon a bloody mess...Remmember this has been 12years in the making since the Montreal screw job on Hart....Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischof brought in some talent that is certainly in demand for sure, let's see how they will be used in future shows and let's hope that this will bring some very exciting and competative Wrestling Matches in the near future...And Oh Yeah...Give The Nature Boy the Mic ASAP...We want to hear Slick Ric speak...Whoooooooo....Till next Blog bye for now...

UFC: Rashad Evans gets the win over Thiago Alves in 3 rounds...Evans vs. Rampage next...

Dana White said that if Evans wins he would get match facing Rampage Jackson...Well...The win is in...In all likehood this encounter will take place in March at UFC 111....Last night however UFC 108 saw some great action from both Alves and Rashad with Alves stating after the match that he got a little lazy in the 3rd round which allowed Evans to get the decision from the Judges...UFC 108 bonuses were also despenced $50K each....Fight of the Night:Sam Stout and Joe Lauzon....Submission of the Night:Cole Miller....KO of the Night:Paul Daley.....Good show guys...Brock Lesnar's situation should be decided this coming week when apparenly there will be more insight as to what the current UFC HW Champ's future will be.....He recieved an operation to close a hole in his upper intestine and word is that he is having difficulty recovering from the surgery....Fingers crossed that he will recover but the question remains...After his heavy illness/surgery and slow improvements...Will he return to his original form? That's the question....We will however find out this coming week....At least lets hope that is the case....

WWE & Bret Hart vs. TNA & Hulk Hogan....Monday Night 1/4/2010..

Once again the return of Pro-Wrestling's Monday Night Wars...This Time however it is TNA that presents the challenge for Monday Night supremacy...Back in the 90's WCW gave WWE the biggest run for it's money as they literally drained talent from Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation, however it actually created the best Physically competative matches that truly are historical in there nature...The biggest had to be The Rock vs. Stonecold Steve Austin by far...At Wrestlemania 18 which was held here in Philly my good fortune allowed me to secure Box Seats for the event and it was amazing to be in that crowd on that night here in Philly where Stone Cold defeated The Rock for The WWE Title.....As the Nature Boy would say WHOOOOOO......Here and now 2010 two incredible Characters from the 80's and 90's era make there very anticipated return to the World stage for the second coming of Monday Night Wrestling Wars 'The Hitman" Bret Hart vs. Hulk Hogan....What will these two bring to the table because as for in ring competition their time has come and gone...There broken bodies from years of Physical Punishment endured in the Ring will not allow them to perform and compete at the level the fans remember...Hogan was never really a very gifted Pro-Wrestler per say, he was more of a Sports Entertainer(the best in fact)..Scientifically his tenure was not very technical...His persona however made him a Super Human force in that squared circle, bigger than life without any question....Bret Hart was truly the excellence of execution, His technical knowledge in the Ring was incredible to see, every move , every counter that he recieved or delivered was precise, aggressive and calculated...His Matches against Benoit and so many others demonstrate the true Art of Pro-wrestling...The Best there ever was without any doubt...The Roles these two will play this Monday night will certainly be interesting to see...Let's hope that the level of Physical perfomance in the ring by the current rosters will be at it's best as both organizations will be fighting for Pro-Wrestling supremacy once again.....To all I say: HAPPY NEW YEAR......
