Seriously, thank you so much for bringing this channel to my attention. I recently read an interview with Vince McMahon, mainly about the location of next year’s Wrestlemania, but one of the questions he was asked was about comparing the current generation of the roster to the previous generations. He talked about how Read more

“Numerous pro wrestlers skip the bar these days in favor of late night gaming sessions.” Read more

I am so incredibly impressed by Woods and what he has been able to accomplish. Even the stories of how he got his job with WWE developmental are like cocksure scenes someone would make-up for a biography. Though, as someone currently pursuing a PhD it is a little frustrating to be blowing off work by jumping onto Read more

I think this really just demonstrates how mainstream video games have become. The Y Generation has grown up with video games, and before these people were jocks, odds are they played video games the same way that Gem X played with action figures. As millennials matured, so did video games, and, as a result, they’ve Read more

The New Day, and specifically Woods, is one of the main reasons I started back checking in on the WWE. I still only watch clips and the occasional match, but without them I wouldn’t pay attention at all. Read more

They’re real, real to themselves, real with the crowd. They Read more

Now playing

Not only that, the cutman will often time wrap the fighter’s hands too. UFC “Stitch” being one of the best, fighters would personally request for him.

My friend and I LOVED the cut man mini game, mostly because after being sleep deprived and pumped full of sugar the funniest thing in the world to us was our commentary of the cut men. We would pretend that the cut man was actually there to torture the boxer, by pressing things into his cuts and smacking him in the Read more

nice article! I remember loving the cutman minigame in Fight Night Round 2. It is a shame that they cut out the cutman (in the game and in combat sports in general). Fight Night Round 2 had such a unique feeling to it, since it seemed like only half (or less) of the game was about actually fighting your opponent. Read more
