Liddell vs Jackson

Filed under: Wrestling

This is it. We are officially 1 day away from possibly the best fight of the year. Liddell vs Jackson just sends chills up my spine. This fight should be off the hook as the hip people like to say. These 2 guys are going to come out swinging and I think we will see a knockout in the end. I really hate to say this though because I like Liddell, but I see him losing his title. I am not only saying this because Rampage has already beaten him but if you watch the first fight, Rampage just killed him. Liddell was throwing everything he had and he nailed Rampage a couple of times with shots that would knock outmost other fighters, but Rampage got mad and killed him. Also, with Liddell having the best takedown defense in MMA and the way Rampage made it look easy by taking him down is unbelievable. I want Rampage to win but either way it is going to be an exciting fight and I cant wait. The rest of the card looks ok but when I saw Chris Leben’s name, I laughed because I hate this guy more than Tim Sylvia. Then I also heard that he wanted a pay raise ni his contract when it comes due in a couple of fights. He was quoted as saying he hopes that Dana realizes how much Leben has done for the UFC and gives him the raise he deserves. I want to see him knocked out tommorrow also. I thing Jardine may win his fight. I want to know if he still has that fire that helped him beat Forrest Griffin the last time they fought. I also think that Parisyan will win his fight. I dont know too much about Burkman but something tells me he will never get past a certain level in UFC and that is not a very high level. Those are my fight predictions and I will be watching to see if I am right. If I am only right on one of these fights, I hope it is the main event. Thanks again for reading my thoughts.

NWA Splits Away From TNA

Filed under: Wrestling

It ha sbeen talked about for a couple of months now. We have talked about it since it first came out that NWA was going to break away from TNA. And it finally happened this past Sunday at TNA’s ppv “Sacrifice.” AS the NWA stripped Angle and Team 3D of their titles. Now this brings up an interesting thing in my eyes. When TNA first started, they just used the NWA titles and the NWA brand name as a whole to just get some added prestige to the promotion for when it started up. But since it started, it seems as if TNA was actually keeping the NWA alive as they dont have their own show. If you look at it, the traditional fans checked out TNA in the beginning because of the connection but the NWA has really done nothing more for the company. You see, NWA has alot of terrotories but TNA didn’t really get any real talent from them. So yeah, the NWA name a little in the beginning but after that, it has not mattered all that much. Now the NWA will do a tournament I belive between the best wrestlers in the world to crown their new champs. And now also, TNA will get their very own titles now which means they start from scratch and don’t have that prestige anymore. The TNA wrestlers that hold that belt now that didn’t hold that NWA World Title cannot say that they are on the same list as Flair, Rhodes, Race, just to name a few. But now, do you think this changes how you look at TNA or do you see it as the same promotion. I see it as the same promotion that keeps screwing up. Now from what I read, TNA didn’t do anything major to braek away like ECW did. If TNA went that route, it might have actually done something for the promotion but I also thought when Angle came over, they would start doing good business. So now with them getting away from the NWA, will TNA’s product change at all. We will just have to see what happens. If this split has any impact at all.

Thanks Again for reading this post. Sorry about the gaps in the dates in between the time that I write but I have had computer problems for some time now and hopefully they are gone. But check back here next week past Wednesday as I countdown to the Liddell-Rampage fight and give my predictions. And I just got this news story from my buddies at nodq.com Sabu has been released from the WWE. Does mean he is done with wrestling now or will he go back to TNA once again. Thanks Again for your time.
