Alberto doesn't have the kind of boss tattoos Frank Mir has, his wussy ink can't stand up to Cro Cop.

He got kicked in the head and was knocked out. There was nothing smart about it.

Are we watching the same gif? The one where the left leg gently caresses the top of ADR's head and then he falls over a half second later after he realises he has an out? He wasn't knocked out at all.

Considering it was PRIDE, the chances of it being a legit fight even if that kick connected were about one in five.

Watch the actual video the kick lands and you can hear it hitting his skull. Cro Cop then punches him right in the face while he's down. PRIDE didn't hire cans to take dives. You hire cans because they suck, and Alberto sucked at MMA. The people who took dives were fighters with name value like Mark Coleman.

I watched it on satellite and later on DVD, and both times there was a really loud "KLONK" when Crocops shin makes contact, and then afterwards Del Rio was gushing blood from his head, so possibly you might want to shut up about your deeply meaningful analysis of a 500k gif file

Yeah, I'm sure they needed to pay off the pro wrestler to take a dive to loving Cro Cop.

Uh as any well educated professional wrestling fan would know, the sound of a kick landing is merely a slapping of the thigh, clearly done by Mr Cro Cop's left hand, obscured by his torso thanks to a well-placed camera angle

Cro cop had a few knockouts in Pride where it looks like his foot just gracefully gives someone a haircut without making contact, its why he owned. pride was just the ecw of capitalizing on fighter's strengths and covering up their weaknesses so everyone thought they were better than they were, which is why pride also owned

For context, Internet MMA fans (who are probably just as awful as Internet Wrestling fans) proclaimed the guy he was fighting to be the best ever despite him ducking fights or having poor performances against bad fighters.

Then he got knocked out by an old man with no teeth, a bad back, and knees that won't bend.

Hendo chat spilled over into the main thread so I'm cross posting.

Fozzy The Bear posted:

Someone tell the Chael story about Hendo not holding someone down, but staring them down.

Someone posted the video on the previous page but the basic gist is this: rogan was doing comedy and Hendo came to watch. Someone was heckling him, and Rogan pointed out his buddy Hendo and said that he'll have him hold him down while he fucks his girlfriend. Hendo shouts out "I won't have to hold him down. I'll just stare him down" and the heckler shut up.


Also one of the best Hendowns stories:

quote:

In 1995, Randy and Henderson cleaned house on five bouncers in Buckhead (ATL)--it was a brutal bloodbath and took about 90 seconds, max. I was with them, and believe me when I tell you it was total carnage. It started when Randy pushed Dan into a car--just horseplay--outside a bar, and the doormen started talking ****. One of them grabbed a baseball bat and was acting like he was going to swing. So, Randy and Dan squared up.

After a few moments of banter--Hendo told the dude he was going to shove the bat up his rear end--Randy suddenly lunged at the dude with the bat, who immediately tucked tail and retreated into the bar with Randy on his heels. Henderson and I remained outside and Dan literally mowed through two of the four remaining bouncers--a fourth friend and I pitched on the last two. One of the guys Dan lit up tried to run away, and Dan would let him go for a few steps, and then beat him down. This lasted for about a block--I know, because I had to track him down so we could elude the police, and was literally a trail of blood on the street. Then, when I went to get Randy out of the bar, I saw that he had destroyed the place by repeatedly picking the bouncer up and tossing him into tables and across the bar.

Dan had just picked up some chick 20 minutes earlier, and she was just horrified, but ended up running from the police with us. We tossed her over chain link fences and brick walls, and by the time we got to our car, her dress was in tatters and she was just livid. Keep in mind, this was two years before either guy fought in MMA. I should also point out that I've known Dan for nearly 20 years and Randy almost 15, and it's the only time I've ever seen either guy in a street fight. The dude with the bat just set them off.


Best part is, Randy was interviewing to be the head coach for the U.S. Greco team, and he was out to dinner with the executives the following night. In the middle of dinner, a cop shows up at his table with the manager, and they say that Randy has to leave. When the USA Wrestling attorney asks why, they said that it was because Randy and some buddies had destroyed the place the night before and assaulted their security staff. Turns out it was the same place! Luckily, they just booted Randy and no charges were filed. 100% true.

Reminder that CM Punk went to a 60-minute draw twice in ROH (Dave Meltzer even gave this five stars), and had a 93-minute match with Chris Hero

Conclusions:
- Chick Magnet Punk could clearly beat up both Royce and Sakuraba
- ROH fans are entirely right to be baffled that their product doesn't attract a mainstream audience
