Would have made it to a final were he would have been mauled by Paul Orndorff. All kidding aside, I remember Bigelow losing quickly, Dr. Death losing quickly, Nagata losing quickly in MMA... So I'm skeptical as to how any long-time star-pro-wrestler would fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 gotta be less than 5 minutes from bell to bell, with him doing all the custom spots and going off to the gimmick table who is Purple Haze these days? (Mark Lewin's 84 years old, so that's a bit old, even on a card where 75 year old Luke has a match) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think people realize how rare of a physical skill set that you need to be a professional fighter. The amount of people who can get punched straight in the face and not really give a fuck is extremely small. That's just the bare minimum. Being big, strong, athletic, fast, tough, etc., gives you nothing at all if you get punched in the face and can't keep your composure. The entire game of fighting is based on getting punched in the face and thinking, "ok, next time I'm going to do x instead of y," over and over again until you figure out how to beat your opponent. Most people can't do that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on Fite and I'm morbidly curious to check it out. I'm guessing he's not having a Black Terry-esque renaissance in his 70s, but who knows?

Leonidas Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 When she came out matching the new title I had a feeling she was going to be keeping it. An even stronger feeling than I already had. Hopefully she comes out in white gear for the rumoured cage rematch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bruno was really good at boxing, other than the fact that when he took a hard shot to the head, his instinctual reaction was to stand perfectly still, lift his chin up and drop his hands. Still made it to being World Heavyweight Champion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
