Why are there four controler shadows before a fight?! BATTLE ROYAL?!

Probably because they had four in UFC2009 as well.

Why did they in 2009? Fuck if I know. But they did.

If Scoot Andrews shows up at the local indy show here, I'll guesstimate his stats based on his performance.

It IS a charity show, so maybe?

Also, Big Daddy Gonzo's charisma should be 60. He's a good talker and can get the crowd against him as a heel.

I still wonder if Angel Rose is supposed to be the Angel Rose that works the Miami circuit or not. Anyone know if might be someone else? Age and wages fit for her, and her gimmick to an extent, but the stats and finishers are all wrong.

Also, the Left Leg Roundhouse should definately be his main finisher. He's also won fights by kicks to the liver, so Liver Kick would be good as a secondary.

Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery. Cough.

I know about the quote, but his left leg roundhouse is practically as close to a pro wrestling finisher that you can get in MMA. It should be the primary, and not bunched in with the right leg either.

It'd be like having Ali in the game and calling his primary finisher "Float like a butterfly".

Attila wins, close one, though Alexander's Edges were more 'this is cooler' than 'this is more effective'.

Also Rashad, now you got two things in common with Alexander: You're both only the second best.

Jesse vs Capone next, if Jesse wins we riot?

Also, the Left Leg Roundhouse should definately be his main finisher. He's also won fights by kicks to the liver, so Liver Kick would be good as a secondary.

Also, a spear hitting Samurai armor would ruin the spearhead and at best chip the paint of the armor, and that's with an ideal clean blow with a charging opponent. So even IF they landed, they'd likely lose their weapon and have a POed Samurai still standing.

Also when comparing sheer strength of their blows, as the Vikings are using sheilds their main weapon is being held one-handed. And unless the viking is facing Miyamoto Musashi, the samurai would likely be using his weapons with both hands. What this means is more power behind the Samurai's blows. And if it IS Musashi, well, Musashi beat other samurai to death with wooden swords, he'd slaughter a viking.

Vikings were so effective because they were berzerkers who scared and intimidated their victims

First of all you should get your facts straight. Not all Vikings were berzerkers, only few who had seen too many battles, got too many knocks on the head and ate too many mushrooms. The average Vikings usually fought in a rather disciplined shield wall, one-on-one fighting was rare. As for the scaring and intimidating their victims, well, scared people are easy to conquer. And how samurai hits viking 3 to 4 times through a f'n sturdy round shield? If he tried he just gets stabbed in the gut with a spear/sword.

The kanabo wouldn't entirely break the sheild, but it would break the Viking's arm. I don't care how tough you are, if you have a broken arm, you're not going to be able to do anything with it especially with a heavy sheild strapped to it. Can't lift your arm, can't block with your sheild. And don't try to tell me the arm would not have been injured with a 400+ psi blow to it. Also, Samurai were well armored, not to mention would have the tactical profeciency to be prepared for a counterattack.

Also, as I said before, if Viking/Samurai had ever happened, it would have been with a scurvy-ridden Viking against a healthy samurai.

Also, I have Atilla the Hun winning this next one. Alexander the Great was a tactician, Atilla was in the frontlines.

RevolutionMuslim.com posted a warning following the 200th episode of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "South Park," which included a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad disguised in a bear suit.

A radical Islamic website is warning the creators of "South Park" that they could face violent retribution for depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit during an episode broadcast on Comedy Central last week.

RevolutionMuslim.com posted the warning following the 200th episode of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "South Park," which included a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad disguised in a bear suit. The Web posting also included a graphic photo of Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was murdered in 2004 after making a documentary on violence against Muslim women.

"We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show," the posting reads. "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them."

Reaching by phone early Tuesday, Abu Talhah al Amrikee, the author of the post, said he wrote the entry to "raise awareness." He said the grisly photograph of van Gogh was meant to "explain the severity" of what Parker and Stone did by mocking Muhammad.

"It's not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome," al Amrikee said, referring to the possibility that Parker and Stone could be murdered for mocking Muhammad. "They're going to be basically on a list in the back of the minds of a large number of Muslims. It's just the reality."

Al Amrikee said the website

is considering a protest against the "disgusting" show, which also depicted the Prophet Muhammad in an episode on July 4, 2001.

"This is not a small thing," he said. "We should do whatever we can to make sure it does not happen again."

The posting on RevolutionMuslim.com also includes audio of a sermon by Anwar al-Awlaki -- a radical U.S.-born preacher now believed to be hiding in Yemen -- who discusses assassinating individuals who defame the Prophet Muhammad. It also included a link to a 2009 story in the Huffington Post that gave details of Stone and Parker's mansion in Colorado.

A Comedy Central spokesman told FoxNews.com that the network has no comment on the posting.

NOT A THREAT MY ASS.

They should be replaying the Family Guy episodes on their website IMO, instead of Scrotie. More appropriate given the circumstances...

Sakiyuki Western Django....

What the hell did I just watch?

And why did anyone think it was a good idea?

Brilliance. That's what you watched.

Re: Above

This was an all-stars episode, kind of like a psuedo tournament.

And a Samurai beating a Viking is not BS at all. They had the better weapons and more sophisticated fighting techniques.

Also, had Vikings actually battled Samurai IRL, it'd be in Japan given the MOs of both Viking and Samurai. Meaning that they'd have to put tons of provisions into their longboats to survive the very long voyage, and they'd still likely be ending up with scurvy, meaning they would be considerably weaker and shorthanded as well.

Re: IRA vs Spetsnaz

Spetsnaz fucked them up. IRA got like 200-something kills.

I don't see how a nailbomb can be more effective than a grenade with a better killzone... Is the nailbomb more likely to kill in it's killzone, that's arguable. But a nailbomb (much like the SWAT's taser shockwave) is a stationary weapon. If you get outmaneuvered your weapon is effectively gone. A grenade lacks remote detonation and element of surprise but you can choose where to use it. Plus you can't flush a guy out of cover with a nailbomb.

But hey, the Russian Terminators won in the end. JA SPETSNAZ!

Re above spoiler:

They had Spartan winning because of the sheild, which is bullshit because the Kanabo couldn't break it but was still dealing enough force to break the arm of the Spartan weilding it. 450 psi of force will turn an arm into paste no matter what.

I love the gun demos myself, but I can see why some people would find it boring.... TBH my favorite season one ep was Spetsnaz vs Green Beret.

Am I the only one who thinks Sun Tzu vs Vlad is a stupid idea?

Nobody's even sure who Sun Tzu was other than the author of Art of War. We don't know if it was one person or several who wrote it. Vlad was a soldier but was more famous (or infamous depending on your view) as a very cruel administrative leader.

Unless it's a tactical duel with mass armies fighting, I don't see how this can be a logical battle.

This isn't for one specific song at all... but man, nothing ruins a song for me more than radio-friendly editing. Even if they only mute the vocal track, or replace the original word with something else.

Damn... was never a big fan of the band but that still sucks ass... RIP...

Okay, granted on attitude. But behavior, the Rob Feinstein comment was completely out of the blue... agree that he deserves it but... okay, it'd be the equivalent of Barack Obama saying "...and Hitler can go f--- himself!" at the end of the State of the Union.

...well, looking at the DoI site, RF video is apparently a sponsor, so I guess it'd be closer to Brock Lesnar's "...and I'm going to drink a COORS LIGHT" speech...

And the attack on DoI was because they reported he works for free.

Think about that for a moment. What can possibly be negative about that? More appropriately, what can be negative enough to call them up and yell at them for it?

Also, Cornette's been known to shoot his mouth off against other people he's worked for (but never when he's under their employ). Not exactly deserving of a friggin 92 that's for sure...

60, maybe.

Wow. Let's give Cornette a SEVERE Attitude and Behavior drop for that... like, all the way down to the teens...

Speaking of Otunga, is his crappy spinebuster actually called "Verdict"? If not his finisher should be Spinebuster, because they don't call it "Verdict" in NXT.

I usually associate "Verdict" with Lesnar's finisher hence my confusion.

I'd give Orlando Jordan a Gay gimmick, I mean, isn't his gimmick is that he's bisexual? Or am I missing something?

And as there's no Bisexual gimmick in EWR, Gay would be the closest thing, right?

Yes, because he's just like Vince McMahon when he bought Vince Sr out...

Except without the millions of dollars, an established fanbase, a home venue in the largest city in the US where thousands watch the top stars, and the best marketing skill the business has ever seen.

Granted, I tried to suggest a fed too, but at least they are a legitamite promotion and I didn't do it to put myself over...

Anyway, thanks Bill.

Been listening to Cage a bit lately, especially their Hell Destroyer album. If you haven't heard of them, they're essentially Five Finger Death Punch with an actual set of balls.

...So, not at all like FFDP then...

Okay, they're to Judas Priest like what Iced Earth is to Iron Maiden, if that makes any sense.

What did we learn at tonight's Fight Night?

Mullet Power > Freakishly Tall Europeans

Entrances would still be kinda awesome, if only for Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg talking about the individual merits of the fighters during that.

Though I'd only give a major DO WANT about it for the ability to put my own entrance music in, which I don't know if that's even doable for PS3, because I won't want my 'me' fighter coming out to some wuss rock like Disturbed or POD.

I wonder how customizable the banners will be if they are. Like, if you can put "YOU GONNA GET YOUR NOSE BROKE" or something.

Good luck Bill.

double post... how, dunno.

Mad Man Pondo and 2 Tuff Tony have actually been working together for a while as Baka Gaijin (Idiot foreigners). I'd give them a 70+ in experience.
