Random thoughts from the world of combat sports...

Four days later and I'm still jacked up over the Mayweather-Show Wrestlemania angle. It partially has something to do with the thought of my combat sports worlds colliding but I think more about the lost art of surprises in wrestling. That said, I will never forget the night Money May ...

Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s arrival in WWE made me think about some of the other great celebrity appearances in wrestling. Obviously we already talked about Tyson hitting the scene in 1998 but what were some of the other memorable ones? I know we've been doing a lot of lists lately but ...

I feel bad for WWECW. Everyone loves to diss it and complain it's nothing like the original version. Of course it isn't. It's WWECW! You guys need to stop living in the past and embrace the present. So, in the interest of spear-heading the WWECW revolution I present the top ...

The big winners this weekend (other than Pretty Boy Floyd of course) were Kimbo Slice and Kelly Pavlik. Both men cemented the fact that they are legitimate stars in their sports. So, the question remains, where do they go from here?

Fresh off his thrilling WEC Lightweight title victory over "Razor" Rob McCullough, new champ Jamie Varner returned to The Park to discuss the bout. Varner appeared to be quite the confident fighter in his first appearance around these parts a few months back and, wouldn't you know it, he ...

A thought or two on the 2/18 edition of Monday Night Raw...
1. I gotta be honest, I wasn't a huge admirer of how the Mayweather-Show angle progressed on RAW. I dunno, it kind of felt a little flat. I'm certainly not giving up on it just yet and maybe I ...

I'm still not over the site of Floyd Mayweather in a WWE ring. Honestly, I had a hard time sleeping last night just thinking of it. I haven't been this excited for a celeb-wrestling angle since Pacman Jones joined TNA! Just kidding. No, I haven't been this amped since Mike ...

If you're a frequent visitor to The Park you know that we like to do things a little differently around here. You know, ask interesting questions, invite unique guests...that kind of thing.
So, with that in my mind, I present a special, top secret discussion with an MGM Grand employee. Las ...
