I've watched 5 of the 8 fights on the show and there's nothing to really highlight, the fights are real bad and there hasn't even been a knockdown yet.

The main thing is they can do a takedown for some sort of imaginary "points" but none of the fights have been close and there have only been like 2 or 3 takedowns in the 5 fights I saw.

So I don't follow MMA, nor do I know anything about the strategy of it. How does a circular ring change the fights/make them more dumb or dangerous?

it's actually kickboxing rules, it's supposed to be "no corners to hide in" according to commentary but aren't people getting trapped in the corner a place where a lot of fights end?

in kickboxing, being against the ropes and the other guy teeing off on you without response is a good way to go down to a TKO loss. Most of the high level guys stay out of the corners on instinct.

here's a pic of Peter Aerts, one of the few dutch guys involved in kickboxing that hasn't been accused of aiding and abetting organized crime:

Your image appears to be broken, but I'm just going to assume you're talking about Abdullah's place. lol nevermind it works now

Even by the standards of crappy hole in the wall hot wings and greasy not-Chinese places, the food at Abby's House of Ribs is a real bummer. Neat decor though, tons of old wrestling photos and memorabilia on the walls, at least when I went a few years back.

Weren't they either in the South, or small towns?

And as Jericho and Lance Storm said, they weren't the most appealing of women in the first place?

Oh I'm certain the women were genetic disasters, but even genetic disasters should know what good looking is. It's not like they should think "well I look like Corky from Life Goes On got a sex change, I should cheer for these Muppets with lazy eyes and sweat bands on their ankles!" Look at the women they show in the crowd during Four Horsemen vignettes. They all looked like every Walmart shopper in Mississippi ever, but they still knew enough that Ric Flair was a decent looking guy in those days.

I mean, I'm not exactly Brad Pitt naked covered in baby oil on all fours purring at you, but I'm still gonna think Eva Marie is hot even though her ring work is bad.

Considering who they needed to wrestle against in mid 80s era NWA. Compared to Arn Anderson, they were gorgeous.

There's no "supposedly" about it - watch any RNR match from the 1980s (including their Mid-South days) and you can barely hear anything over the girls screaming for them.

Yeah, Arn wasn't an ugly guy by any means. Prematurely grizzled, sure, but not ugly.
