Exactly.......I really don't understand his logic here. I mean just because it worked for Lesnar doesn't mean it's going to work for him.......Lesnar was a national champion collegiate wrestler before WWE.......Batista was a bouncer.

same with bobby Lashley. He's been doing MMA for a few years now and still hasn't progressed enough to fight anyone of value.

Lesnar was moreso the exception rather than the rule because of skilled he was in his wrestling base.

It's too bad that MMA wasn't as popular when Kurt Angle was at his peak......I would've liked to see how he would've done in MMA.

Wow, someone just sent this to me. Apparently Jay Lethal (the dude who's gimmick was impersonating the Macho Man) has now taken to impersonating Ric Flair. I'm not much of a TNA fan, but this segment is one of the funniest things I've seen on wrestling in a long time:

Lethal is one of the few reasons to turn on TNA. His Flair impersonations are dead on.

You work for Slang?? I know they do a lot of Hispanic-themed games.
Bad choice of words, saying 'producing'. I work at the publisher/distributor - Konami.

Yeah... I know.

Still a good match, told a story, fun to watch. Those two have pretty good chemistry together. Interesting to see if they build off it from there.

I just want to say Jericho is one of the few workers who can get his opponent over and make them look good, even when he beats them in a match.

Would it be far fetched to think just maybe Daniel Bryons the new GM? Also, I think i'd rather quit and get a regular 9-5 job if my gimmick was to be a complete and total *****bag like Zak Ryder.

I'm all aboard the Zack Ryder bandwagon, I feel like he's entering that territory The Miz was in when he first came to Raw.
