It always seems the last asset to go on any fighter known for his punching is his power

Cool article...


Honestly I wish they would do this today..

You can't tell me you wouldn't tune in for tyson vs john cena or evander vs undertaker

Well we DID have Evander vs. MVP on Saturday Night's Main Event. That was pretty fun IMO.

And I remember they had matt hardy spar holyfield a few years ago

Yep it was the lead up to Holyfield fighting MVP. Or I believe Hardy/MVP with Holyfield in Hardy's corner.

Sorry, I meant Holyfield fought Hardy replacing MVP who had a heart condition. Here's what it said on Wikipedia:

MVP challenged Hardy to a boxing match at Saturday Night's Main Event, however MVP was legitimately diagnosed with the heart condition Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Since MVP was unable to compete, Hardy faced his replacement, former world champion boxer, Evander Holyfield. The match ended in a no contest after MVP entered the ring to verbally abuse Holyfield, who then knocked him out.

It is pretty amazing there is any market for fake rassling at all. I can tell you I would not tune in for the above.

It still takes mad talent to perform all the moves rehearsed or not.. But, while I may tune in every once in a while to see the action and whats going on I really dislike that they don't even try to present it more like a sport like years ago.. Way too comical and soap opera for my taste.. I wish they'd at least tone the show aspect of it down to how it was in the mid 80's..
