epwar Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Those hoping for the day when a promo features the announcer saying "dick riding" can now cross that off your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 That Stephan Bonnar thing tonight with the masked man and "drug addict" remarks has to be one of the worst attempts at trying to bring pro wrestling to MMA since well that phony brawl between Cormier and Jones a month or so ago. And is knowing that the masked guy was Justin McCully before they told us something that someone with an average MMA IQ should have a clue about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 That show was really fun. I kinda like Bellator turning into a wacky American Japanese promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Cibernetico Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 MMA needs more pro wrestling. UFC is the WWE of MMA, but carries itself like ROH. Bellator is the TNA of American MMA, but is taking pages right out of WWE- we will see how it goes. Stephan Bonnar for the first time ever in his entire career- actually made me give a shit about what he is saying/doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 This was such a hilarious show. You've got the TNA World Champion in a fight with pro wrestling clips used to hype it, Mo being wacky, and the Bonnar-Ortiz angle to get the eyeballs there, and the great main event to keep them. Shame the goofiness overshadowed it, but it was an entertaining way to spend two hours. http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/qy689cadtmn3ueeb6rvntx15vr96tbhj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I think its fine to emulate some of pro-wrestling's spectacle for MMA or combat sports. However, what Bellator MMA did was like watching a bad episode of Impact Wrestling with Russo booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 PRIDE was excellent at emulating some pro-wrestling spectacles. Bellator not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughsilver Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 That Stephan Bonnar thing tonight with the masked man and "drug addict" remarks has to be one of the worst attempts at trying to bring pro wrestling to MMA Or the best. I have no emotional or intellectual ties to Bellator, so I'm fine with them being ridiculous. Any 'Tito has a massive head' remarks will win me over. Bonnar is so the superior shit-talking Jones/Silva prey compared to Sonnen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
