For Great Justice Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) I mean on one hand though, we were just talking about pushing Chad Gable and a shoot style tourney is certainly one avenue to achieve that.

Forget that...it took WWE twenty five years after UWFi (thirty five years after the original and thirty years after the second one) and RINGS craze to get on this train. So they even went further back in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zendragon Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Back when WWE was running the DIVA search they tried to have foxy boxing as one of the live competitions and I recall they had to change plans due to an issue with the commissions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) OK I just watched a clip of it. That was awful, like really awful. It was the bar room scene from No Holds Barred. Just wait till Vince wants the scripts to be more comedic. Like, holy shit, this was probably even closer to the R Rated WMAC PPV’s. This isn’t the thing to turn ratings around. I thought they realized the cinematic thing wasn’t working, so they were adding something more organic to the show. Instead it’s... Wow. Hell it still had Dunn’s way overproduced style to it. Just go watch Fight Zone instead... Edited August 4, 2020 by LoneWolf&Subs 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'm 8 minutes into this Fight Zone video and if I'd seen this in 1995 when I was 14 I am pretty sure I'd have thought this was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight Zone, and another fake martial arts program were produced sometime around the early 90’s to capitalize on the popularity of fighting games at the time. Some have speculated they were very much reproduced, and sold to PPV to trick unsuspecting buyers into thinking it was the UFC. Both programs come off as pilots. Though Fight Zone had about 3 episodes(?) made for PPV, but re-edited in such a way that matches from each episode sometimes showed up on more than one episode. They were shot in the same exact location with similar scripts for the commentary. I think the only major difference is that one is set in a fictional cyber punk future. Of the two I preferred Fight Zone. It was the 2nd pilot produced, and features Tony Halme AKA Ludvig Borga going under his original wrestling name The Viking looking a lot more like a proto-Lesnar than any other moment in his career.

I'm a fan of WMAC Masters and I thought you were talking about something I had never heard of before. Granted, I've never heard of Fight Zone either, and it looked really hokey (and entertaining!) This reminds me of another PPV show I've seen mentioned on YouTube before, "Future Fights": (shoutout to Oddity Archive) https://youtu.be/T7_rIIldu8w?t=1145 Edited August 4, 2020 by The Green Meanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Yes, that’s the other one that the same production company made. I wish somebody would give us more info about this lost media from 25 years ago. Edited August 4, 2020 by LoneWolf&Subs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 This discussion reminded me that Battle Dome was a thing that existed. Wasn't there some similar American Gladiators meets MMA type show on SpikeTV/TNN as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Fight Zone does have an IMDB page that has very little interesting info on it except.... Sugar Ray Leonard has a producer credit? What the fuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
