Mornin’ Muesli: The Brown Bomber Bombs At Wrestling

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Yesterday I touched on Joe Louis' infamous pro wrestling career. So infamous I never even heard about it. So, I did some research and found a spectacular video which appears to be one of Louis' first after deciding to try his hand at the world of wrasslin'. After watching last night's ...

Mornin’ Muesli: Wladi, Louis, Sapp, Duddy…

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

* No surprises in the Klitschko-Ibragimov fight other than how cautious Wladi was in the ring. Geez, it would have been nice if he broke out something other than the jab, no? * While he did win, I thought this was a step back for the younger Klitschko. He looked very ...

Mid-Afternoon Muesli: MFC, Germany, Edgeheads…

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

* I very much enjoyed last night's Maximum Fighting Championship telecast on HDNet. Partially because the fights were all very explosive (especially the last two) and mainly because it featured a lot of up-and-coming Canadian talent. The best purchase I have made this past year has to have been buying ...

Saturday In The Park: Sapp-amania Runs Wild Again

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

You might have heard that a certain Bob Sapp was making his American MMA debut this evening at the StrikeForce At The Dome show in Tacoma, WA (HDNet 10:30 pm ET). This fight also marks Sapp's debut in a cage...Wait, what? You've never heard of Bob Sapp? Well, if so, ...

Jarry Park’s Top 24 WrestleMania Moments

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

As some of you might know, I used to write on a more consistent basis for another great website entitled No Mas. Some guy from there always bangs on the Jarry Park headquarters' door whenever a big boxing match is coming up. Anyhow, last year around this time, I ran the ...

Mornin’ Muesli: ROH, Dima, Yahoo…

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

* I love this quote from Dan Rafael's ESPN boxing blog: "If Mayweather is cool with fighting a mountain of a man like Show, why does he keep running from a man his own size, Miguel Cotto." Um, I dunno, maybe because he doesn't actually have to fight Show? * ...

The Klitschko Coronation Is Almost Here

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

No disrespect to Las Vegas but there really isn't anything like a big fight at Madison Square Garden. Throw two heavyweight title holders in the mix and things get really interesting. So, while I have no doubt that Wladimir Klitschko will defeat Sultan Ibragimov tomorrow night at the Mecca, I'm ...

The Top 5 Greatest Celebrity Wrestling Angles

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

We finish off yesterday's list... 5. WCW Bash at the Beach 1998 - Dennis Rodman & Karl Malone: One of the few things WCW actually did right was their execution of the Rodman/Hogan vs. Malone/DDP angle. Both men had just met in the NBA Finals and when Bob Costas mentioned ...

Mornin’ Muesli: Wandy, Kim, 619, Wladi & More

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Random thoughts from the world of combat sports... * Nice to see Yves Edwards get back in the title picture. I always compared his fall from grace in MMA to that of David Loiseau's but, unlike "The Crow," he has done a great job of reinventing himself with his new camp, ...

Here Comes The Money

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Four days later and I'm still jacked up over the Mayweather-Show Wrestlemania angle. It partially has something to do with the thought of my combat sports worlds colliding but I think more about the lost art of surprises in wrestling. That said, I will never forget the night Money May ...
