Another week, another pissed off John Pollock. And, once again, he has every right to be.
Much like most 18-to 34-year-old males (including myself), John wasn't home to catch the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday night. He relied on his trusty PVR to tape the show but, just like ...

One more note on Shamrock-Le: I am not trying to take anything away from both men by stating it wasn't a fight of the year candidate. That third round was a tremendous display of guts and courage made even better by Mauro Ranallo, Stephen Quadros and Bill Goldberg's call of ...

If you plan to watch one wrestling event this year this should probably be it. The Super Bowl of wrestling, the grand daddy of 'em all...blah blah blah. By now you've heard it all.
I usually don't do this kind of thing when it comes to wrestling (or any other sport ...

I didn't have the guts to go all out and predict a Cung Le victory prior to his bout against Frank Shamrock but I wish I did because as far as performances by a fighter with six career MMA fights against someone with 34, this was one of the best ...

Frank Shamrock vs. Cung Le finally goes down this Saturday night and it's about time since it seems as though we've been waiting for it a long time. That said, this one certainly seems to be lacking the kind of hype and excitement that surrounded Baroni-Shamrock in June. It might ...

We all heard the news that Vince McMahon purchased WCW one fateful Friday in March of 2001 but it was on this date seven years ago that it was all set it stone. The final episode of WCW Nitro aired on TNT and when the telecast opened with Mr. McMahon ...

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is probably being pulled in 800 different directions nowadays. He is arguably the most marketable MMA fighter around and he is also about to star on the seventh season of The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV (season premiere is on 4/2 @ 10 pm).
Nevertheless, he was kind ...

It was on this date seven years ago that Mark Coleman defeated Allan Goes via TKO at PRIDE 13. The win was Coleman's sixth in a row but it kicked off a rough four fight stretch in which he lost three of his next four bouts. Although consider the fact ...

Apparently when you interview models on the world of combat sports other models want in on the action. I kid you not. Exhibit A: the wonderful Cilicia Teal. She saw our interview with Ashley Mull and just sent us in her take on the exact same questions along with some, ...

It's been a while since we had some muesli so let's get back in the mix...
* I attended the Montreal Canadiens-Ottawa Senators hockey game last night at the Bell Centre and amongst the 21,000+ in attendance was none other than Monsieur Georges St.Pierre. Someone interviewed him during the second period ...

It was a fairly quiet weekend on the MMA and wrestling front but not so in the world of boxing. Some had a great 72 hours while others not. Let's break it down:
Good: Boxing - Normally, I hate all those "boxing may or may not be dead" articles but, damn, we've ...

Want to hear a fired up John Pollock? Just ask him about Ric Flair's retirement.
You can't really blame The Prodigy since it's safe to say that regardless of whether Flair and HBK tear down the Citrus Bowl this Sunday this angle has been a major disappointment for all residents of ...

I want to root for TNA, I really do. The business needs an alternative. However, most of the time it's hard to do so because beind-the-scenes they haven't been very receptive to good ol' Jarry Park. Actually, they have been downright rude to us on MANY occasions but, nevertheless, they ...

Been out of the boxing loop lately? Don't fear because Large and I seemingly covered it all this week.
First, we talked a little Mayweather-WWE. Large watched this week's episode of RAW so I was curious as to what he thought about the product considering this was the first time he ...

Below is a clip of a 6-year-old model named Pretty Boy Bam Bam training to become a boxer. There are so many things wrong with that sentence.
Some interesting facts on PBBB:
* He was born on 09/11/01
* He has been boxing since he was two-years-old
* He is the subject of a ...

It's very easy to ask some fighter, journalist or fellow fan their thoughts on the combat world but can you ask a model? That's the real test my friends.
So, on that note, today we go toe-to-toe with model Ashley Mull. She is one of the Platinum Agency's top talents. She ...

Not only is Matt Lindland a great fighter but, man, that guy can keep a secret.
I had the pleasure of talking to "The Law" at a time where his name was very much in the news. Needless to say, I was looking for some answers.
We knew he had signed with ...

1) St. Patrick's Day drunken idiots
2) Unsanctioned fights (aka when people get drunk they like to fight)
3) Men who lay their hands on women
4) Men who knock ladies out with a punch
5) The snow
Amazingly, all these things are exemplified in the clip below. I have already confessed my love for ...
