Just saw Wlad's entrance vs Haye...

[TyrantT316]

I think what Merchant said was right about how American promoters should take note. I was watching it like "Now that's how The Heavyweight Champion of the World" makes an entrance (nevermind the timing delay coming out of the dressing room). Foreman being a part of it, the creativity, playing to the Wlad/Haye pre fight build up, the music, pyro, lights, etc.

Now I am not saying an entrance is only good with all of that Hollywood (see Tyson). However, if a fighting like Wlad doesn't have the personality of an Ali, the excitement of a Holyfield or the on air menace of a Tyson, they do him well in his entrances. American's don't receive him because he isn't American. I completely understand wanting an American Heavyweight champion whether white or black. But Wlad deserves his due. He is dominant in what is given to him in his era. That's all you can ask of a champion.

Any non fan of Boxing would watch that and truly feel that he is the Heavyweight Champion. However the fight didn't help that cause. Either way, even though you can't control how the fight actually turns out, I like the effort put into the event.

I agree with you, i enjoyed the event alot, especially the entrances of both fighters, just hyped everything up.

Wlad's ring entrances of late have been very inventive, though I also find them pretty cheesy and a bit surreal, especially that last one with the cinema and the random sailors. I appreciate the effort that goes into them though and the pyrotechnic displays afterwards are incredible. Vitali's entrances tend to be a bit simpler and more direct, but still get you pumped up. I prefer them.

his ring entrance is the future of entertainment

normally the wwe own everyone with this kind of showmanship

but the K2 bros make the wwe look smallfry

also cena punk- fight of the year

I didnt like the entrances to be honest both Haye's and Wlad's were just to over the top for my liking. Although to be fair i have liked past Wlad and Vitali's entrance just not that one.

well when your about as boring in the ring as watching paint dry you better have a deadly entrance

[REMOVED SHARK 97]

Both were ruined by the delay, and the drunken nobheads trying to jump on them and get a touch of the men when going through the crowd.
