By Brett Wilson brentwilson5@gmail.com (mailto:brentwilson5@gmail.com)Other than the fabulous Jones - Calzaghe tilt and some other boxing fun from Germany it was a pretty quiet weekend in combat sports. I finally got around to watching the WEC card and Sengoku which were both decent ca...

By Brent Wilson brentwilson5@gmail.com (mailto:brentwilson5@gmail.com)I don't know why, but the subject of finishers in MMA is still on my mind. Really, I think the only way you could have a finisher in MMA would be being so adept with a submission hold that you are able to finish the majori...
Hey Dave, I give UFC 90 a thumbs up. Even though it was pretty disappointing seeing the main event end the way that it did. It would have great to see how much longer Cote could have made it.Best match: Sean Sherk vs. Tyson Griffin It was also great to see Junior dos Santos knock out Werdum like that. W...

Best Match: Michaels vs Jericho Worst Match: McCool vs Maryse, even though I thought it wasn't even that bad for them. I'd give the show a solid thumbs up.

Hell of a fight last night – with a hell of memorable knockout (watched it at a hooters) and it’s so easy to see the difference in audience expectation when people watch UFC as compared to WWE. It’s a competition thing, unpredictability, etc. It’s the one thing WWE booking will NEVER allow to h...
TNA Hard JusticeThumbs UpBest Match: Angle v StylesWorst Match: Team 3-D v Cage/Rhino Too many repetitive weapons matches burned out the crowd. And too many stupid stipulations. Just do regular matches, for AJ's sake! Amazing that they put together a team that works great right out of the...
Thumbs way up. There wasn't a bad match on the show, everyone I wanted to win, did, andthe outcomes were, in some cases, better than can be reasonably expected. Any one ofthese fights was more enjoyable than Jackson/Griffin, which I've watched a couple oftimes now and just don't get. Anyway. B...
