Sometimes, for whatever mysterious reason, simply seeing hot chicks in bikinis just isn’t enough. So somewhere along the line, us guys decided to slather lovely ladies from head to toe in some sort of sloppy substance, from mud to KY Jelly, and have them writhe around in a kiddie-pool, just to help us get our kicks. Sure, it’s weird, but so what? It’s human nature. And while many such substances will do, one of our favorites has to be Jell-O wrestling. Sweet, sticky, colorful, this is as sexy as food gets, this side of Padma Lakshmi.
You’ve seen dudes get hit with chairs, tossed on tables and driven neck first into the ground. But I bet you’ve never seen a midget break dance on a dude and then wuck his ass out of the ring with his legs. Well, you’re about to…
Craziness! It seems that the lawyer’s from the UFC finally submitted Randy Couture and Mark Cuban in the battle to decide where the now-45-year-old cage veteran will be allowed to fight. People in Las Vegas have been whispering for some time that UFC President Dana White and Randy had begun to renegotiate on more personal (read: no lawyers) terms–and it turns out the rumors are true! (more…)
I don’t care how “fake” professional wrestling is, getting hit with fifty f**king chairs is going to hurt, regardless. At least he didn’t ask them bricks…
Perhaps you’ve heard of Affliction clothing? Even if you haven’t, you’ve seen it. It’s everywhere on television. The shirts with all the flaming skulls and crazy designs on them with the word ‘affliction,’ somewhere. These shirts first started popping up on MMA fighters at UFC events, but have suddenly disappeared from the cage. This is because they were banned by UFC President Dana White and company as soon as Affliction announced they would be hosting their own MMA fight card, which is scheduled for July 19th at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
This wouldn’t be that big of a deal, typically. As MMA has grown in the U.S., we’ve seen plenty of MMA organizations pop up; the IFL, Adrenaline, EliteXC. But Affliction is different in that for their first event, they have assembled what is probably the most ridiculous fight card of 2008. If you don’t recognize these names, its because the UFC doesn’t talk about them (they couldn’t manage to sign them), but the card boasts several UFC veterans as well.
Here’s our breakdown and predictions for some of the more important fights on the card. (more…)
Kimbo Slice. Even the name sounds frightening. He’s huge, jacked, and angry looking. He’s got a penchant for wearing the Bahama’s flag out to the ring and shaving his chest hair in interesting patterns. His beard swallows souls (get close enough and you can hear faint whispers coming from it’s center). I could see why people might want to fight him in the MMA world; I understand that. He’s a marquee name and locking yourself in a cage with him (even if you lose) will probably land you attention and quite a bit of money.
But paying to fight Kimbo? Thats madness, and not British humor ape-in-a-library-messing-up-the-card-catalog madness, but the Leonidas-kicks-you-into-a-hole madness. And yet, there are several men out there who can make that very claim. During his street fighting days, before you were allowed to fight Kimbo, you had to put up 10 grand. That’s the deal. Your 10g’s v.s Kimbo and his crew’s. I wonder if these guys ever stopped to think why Kimbo’s crew was so willing to put 10 large up. Or if they’d ever seen a picture of Kimbo. Or if they’d ever looked in a mirror and really just, head-on-hands reflected on the direction their life was headed.
Regardless, here’s a list of the guys who decided it was a good investment (Tip: it’s not). (more…)
As college football teams around the nation launch into their sweltering summer workouts, UWIRE polled journalists from 58 schools to rank the top 10 teams heading into the 2008 season. Their week-long countdown of the top 5 teams concludes with the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs.
Partying With College Cheerleaders: Virginia Tech’s 2005 Squad at the NCAA Nationals in Daytona Beach
Looks like 2005 was a fun year for the Lady Hokies. Not only did they gear up to compete in the NCAA Championships in Daytona, they appeared to do a little partying as well.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wrestling on the beach in a cheerleader uniform, is there? Nor is there anything wrong with carrying around a handle of Captain Morgan’s, right?
Man I wish these pictures were from 2008. These cuties from Virginia Tech would have a lot of explaining to do.
You know, just when you think a person has made a fool of themselves enough already, they go an get on Hulk Hogan’s upcoming show on CMT, Celebrity Championship Wrestling. Among the contestants will be Saved by the Bell’s Dustin Diamond (Screech Powers), along with other obscure celebrities, like Trishelle from The Real World, Butterbean (boxer of Jackass 2-fame) and Playboy Playmate, Nikki Ziering.
But this isn’t some Celebrity Fit Club spin-off, with any real goal at hand. That is, if you don’t count sweet C-list body-slams! As the press release best explains: (more…)
So CBS wanted to bring MMA to primetime tonight, and it was a mess.If you would like the short summary, take 4 of your favorite MMA fights and end them 3 minutes too early. Every star that the network and the Elite XC executives wanted to win – had the fights handed to them on a silver platter.
We learned that Kimbo Slice is not a professional fighter. He fought a decent heavyweight, James Thompson, and could not handle a simple take down. The stoppage was a f**king joke, CBS is a joke, Elite XC is joke.
You want to watch real MMA, watch UFC on Spike/PPV.
There’s usually some sort of bustle on the floor in my dorm on Monday nights. My roommate’s focus is Top Chef, while my friend Allison used to be utterly devoted to Prison Break (she dropped it in favor of Pushing Daisies, which should be back soon!). Heroes used to be playing in at least three rooms on our meager 9-room floor. But my girlfriend and I, from 9 until about 11 (sometimes 11:05 or even 11:10), are otherwise occupied. All year ‘round. What on earth could we be watching that doesn’t end the season at some point?
I used to watch wrestling and play the games with my cousin. I didn’t really get into it a whole lot; I though everyone looked kind of weird, aside from that Shawn Michaels dude. Okay, he was kind of weird too, but not like Hulk Hogan weird. I liked The Rock, too; he made me laugh. But I didn’t watch anything regularly. I only watched it with my cousin when I was over at his house and it was on, or he wanted to show me a VHS (throwback!) or something similar. My mom HATED wrestling and wouldn’t let me watch it at home, even if I wanted to.
I dropped out of the WWE (then WWF, but changed because the real WWF threw a hissy fit. I still think it’s be great to throw the Rock and a panda in a steel cage match together) for a pretty long time once I stopped hanging with my cousin. It wasn’t until I came to college that the girl who was then just my good friend somehow managed to get me to watch Raw. (more…)
