THIS WEEK IN COMBAT SPORTS~!:ISSUE 30: THE FINAL ISSUE.

The last issue.

Seriously this time. I really don't want to do this anymore.

Strikeforce: Henderson Vs. Fedor.

This show was such a god damn embarrassment. First of all the production was lackluster at best. The show had no real flow and suffered from bad match making early on and the commentary sucked sans for Mauro. I hate Gus Johnson, his shitty commentary, his bad interviews. I've hated him since the CBS Card.

In fact the only reason why I watched this was so that I could laugh at Sherdog's awful picking of the main event in real time. Congrats so called Mastermind. You got out picked by Duo.

Scott Smith Vs. Terec Saffidine.

This sucked. Smith fights the same way he does in every fight and Saffidine was too afraid to go in for the takedown. Smith was gassed out and Saffidine won a fight that he shouldn't be proud of. Shit fight.

Tyrone Woodley Vs. some guy.

Forgot who it was. Oh yeah Paul Daley. Everyone at Sherdog thought that Woodley was going to take down Daley and TKO him in the first round. If there's one thing I know it's that this was never going to happen. Woodley's wrestling isn't as good as Koschecks. It's not even as good as Nick Diaz. So anyways Woodley tried seven thouisand times in the first round to get a takedown and fails. He eventually gets some and grinds out a shitty boring decision. Fuck Tyrone Woodley. Fuck him. Guy wanted a step up in competition and he couldn't take down Paul Fucking Daly? Are you fucking kidding me? Woodley sucks, he's and ass and he raped a thirteen year old.

Robbie Lawler Vs. Tim Kennedy.

Lawler sucks and need to be released right fucking now. He had now answerfor Kennedy's merger stand up and was afraid to do anything else. He got rocked a couple of time and he's past his prime. His Elite XC title reign came at a a time when the bele meant about as much as the WCW World Heavyweight Title did in 2000. The only good thing about this fight was the promo Kennedy did afterwards.

Meisha Tate Vs. Marloes Coenen Strikeforce World Women's Bantamweight Title.

Fight was good. I think Meisha Tate is an annoying mother fucker who has no real talent and is the equivalent to Mark Coleman in 2000 but she beat a fighter clearly past her prime for a belt that means nothing. Whatever. Coenen almost finished her in the second but Tate came back and won in teh third. Good comeback and a good fight. Except for the part where no one gave a shit about said fight. And after all teh talk of this being the most important fight in Women's MMA history, Tate was content to grind out a win, get Dana White angry and get Women's MMA screwed. Congrats Meisha. Enjoy Bellator in a few months.

Then....there was....

THE GREATEST FIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER COMPANY.

Dan Henderson beats Fedor Emelianenko by Fuck You.

Here are some quotes from the geniuses over at Sherdog.

"There';s no way Henderson will stand with Fedor, he'd get knocked out. It goes to the ground and Fedor submits him"

"I Think this goes to the ground and Fedor submits him."

"Henderson will take this to the ground and will get submitted."

So fight starts and in the first minute Fedor gets nailed by Henderson about, five times. So it's clear Henderson wants to keep this fight standing. Fedor was on fucking rollerskates and eventually went down from a punch. He's on his face until Dan Henderson unloaded an uppercut straight towards the face of god and knocked him out. Fedor protested, but like much else in his career, it wasn't serious. And Fedor gets cut. Good. Dan Henderson is my hero.

And now, A message from Lilith Klien.

Did you know Meisha turned down a fight against me? Yeah. Seriously, Was going to be my first fight. She turned it down. So Meisha, here's my message to you. And I'm going to say it in spanish because it'll make me sound even smarter than i already am.

Su campo es así que de mala calidad utilizan las cintas del sexo para ID' s.

"Your camp is so sleazy the use sex tapes for ID's

You' con referencia a un talento menos flaco chingasa y you' flacos; d nunca le hace el ion la escena de lucha nacional.

You're a talentless skinny mother fucker and you'd never make it on the national wrestling scene.

And suck it.

The Ballad Of Takeshi Tanahashi.

* A woman is sitting at a desk looking through records in the ASWF offices when the phone rings.

Woman: Hello? ......No. He doesn't work here anymore.

*The woman listens*

Woman: Well we tried to send him his last check but he never told us where to send it.

There's a time when people need someone like me. They need to find someone. Or they need protection.

Woman: You mean...you know where he is?

A time when you get so desperate you turn away from the cops, the FBI and you turn to me.

WOman: Well...okay, just come to the front desk and I'll hand it to you....

When you don't have any other options...that's where I come in.

*A woman in blue jeans and a black T-shirt walks to the counter in the ASWF Head offices. She takes off her sunglasses to reveal bright red eyes and a hint of asian lineage. Her red hair bounces in front of her face as she looks the woman in the eyes*

Woman: Thank you Ms....what's your name?

Other woman: Allison. Allison Rose. I work for the government.

Woman: Is Takeshi in trouble?

Allison: On the contrary....

*Allison walks away after grabbing an envelope*

Allison: You're in trouble without him.

*The scene changes to a bustling city in Australia.

I had heard that Takeshi was living somewhere in Australia a good place to disapear. But I had no idea where. I asked around to various promoters to see if he was wrestling or fighting anywhere. I showed them all my picture, I had many of them...

Nobody I asked had seen him personally. They all remember him from TV. The tough guy that would beat the living hell out of anyone. But I don't know Takeshi as that guy. I know him as my friend. And it's my duty to give him his last paycheck.

After a day of asking around in Adalade, I decided to head to Bathurst. I know Takeshi, he would go somewhere where he could be close to racing and cars. We talked about it a lot. He always said he wanted to be a V8 Supercar series racer.

I went into my hotel room to see a message waiting for me from the headof the ASWF.... no Not Derek Silver. You see there's something you need to know about the ASWF. It's not what you think it is.

Vince: I paid you Allison to find him. Did you find him.

Allison: I'm still looking. What you think I'm trying to fuck you or something?

Vince: No, I just really want to get this loose end tied up. I didn't found this promotion for dumb stuff like this to happen.

Allison: You did it for the Tax breaks.

Vince: Not just the taxbreaks. I don't need the tax breaks I have billions of dollars. I'm not that greedy.

Vince McMahon secretly started the promotion in 2005 as a way to get some of his employees extra experience working behind the scenes. He put a good friend of his knwon only as "M" in charge.

Allison: trust me, I'll find him....I want to see him personally myself.

I hung up the phone and decided to take a shower. I need to relax. It had been a long day. I don't like to walk all over a new city for nothing. But it's okay. Because I knew my luck was about to turn around. For I looked at my second note.

"Dear Allison. Sorry I missed you, come see me down at the track tomorrow.-Steven."

And that's when I knew, Takeshi was here. And he was doing something with racing.But what....I don't know. Only thing I did know was that my feet hurt and I needed a shower. It can get warm here in the winter.

Next day I went to the great track itself Bathurst. On the top of Mount Panorama it's a rather large track, which is why I was sure to bring extra protection.

Man: Hey Allison.

Allison: Hey steven.

Steven: Nice golf kart.

Allison: I'mnot walking all over this place. I did enough of that yesterday. What's up?

Steven Richards is one of the most popular and successful drivers in the V8 Supercar series. He recently was talking with some friends when something caught his attention.

Steven: I didn't know what to think when I saw this.

It was a letter.

Dear Steven, Takeshi can help you out with that. He works for Holden.

Allison: What did you need help with?

Steven: I need a new car. They owe me one. But I need one with a few extra seats for the family.

Allison: right, what area did they say he was working in?

Steven: Didn't say. Person who sent me that letter was not very helpful in that regard.

Allison: Alright. Well Holden Headquarters is about a mile away...see you.

Steven: You gonna drive that?

Allison: All the way to my cab....

I went off to my cab. As I got off my golf cart I noticed a man, he looked....different. And then I noticed him.....I noticed him very well. He was a former enemy of Takeshi if Takeshi even believed in such a thing. I gave up my golf cart and told my cab driver to wait a minute. I followed the man into the track again. Troug the enterence. I kept my head somewhat down. He looked back at me. He was an asian man. So that way when I caught him I would have another thing to talk to him about. He looked at me and then the chase began.

I chased after him through a crowd of people I'm fast but I know when I need help. I called out

Allison: Stop him!

A man in a Holden T-Shirt tackled him. I ran over and kicked the asian man in teh face.

Allison: WHERE'S TAKESHI!

Man: Huh?

Allison: DON'T FUCK WITH ME. YOU'RE STRING. WHERE'S TAKESHI?

String: I uh...I don't know...

Allison: FUCK YOU. YOU GOT TIL THE COUNT OF TEN TO TELL ME OR I"M GONNA BEAT YOUR BRAINS OUT.

String: I don't know.

Allison: ONE.

String: FUCK HIM.

Allison; TWO.

String: FUCK YOU TOO.

Allison: TEN.

I elbowed him in the face knocking him out. He was out for about an hour. After spending forty five minutes of that telling the security that I'm a member of the FBI, they let me have a nice one on one with the man.

String: Huh? Where am I?

Allison: Where you were when I knoeced you out.

String: WHat's this? YHou tied me up?

Allison: Yeah. *eats hot dog* gave me just enough time to eat this hot dog before I woke you up.Want some?

String: Fuck you.

Allison: You had an issue with Takeshi. Why are you here in Austrailia?

String: Like I'd tell you.

I pulled out old darwin for the hell of it.

Allison: ....See this?

String: Uh....

Allison: This is a fifty caliber desert eagle. While lackluster from long distances, it will turn your head into String stew. Now, I don't want to do that. So I'll ask you again, Why. Are. You. Here?

String: I heard he was working here. So I wanted to find him to beat the shit out of him.

Allison: You. Wanted to fight an MMA fighter. You're not that bright are you?

String: I hate that guy. He's an asshole, he beat up Meshi, he beat up my friend Tando.

Allison: And he called you an egotistical asshole on national television because you're a boyscout right? Look, go home, leave Takeshi alone. Now, where is he?

String: I don't know.

Allison: ....Alright.

String: Hey, let me go.

Allison: Hmm...

I began to walk away...

Allison: HEY EVERYBODY. SEE THIS GUY RIGHT HERE? THIS GUY THINKS HE CAN FIGHT ALL OF YOU ON HIS OWN AND THINKS AUSTRALIANS ARE A BUNCH OF PUSSIES.

The austrailians looked at String as if they were the children of the corn, all as one. As they descended on upon him, I left. I had a check to give out....Besides, telling him he's a douchebag that takes himself too seriously would never work.

I took the cab to Holden Car in Melbourne. It was a long ride, but I assured him that the fare would be covered. After he dropped me fof I gave him an extra hundred. As a thanks.

I'm not able to rent a car yet. I'm only 20.

I walked into the main building and talked to the receptionist. I could tell by the way she answered my questions in her squeaky voice that I wasn't going to get many wnsers, so I asked to take the tour. Figured I'd find something out around here wwithout causing a scene.

For about thirty minutes I looked around the damn factory finding nothing. Until I went into the other receptionist area. this is where the buisnessmen work. The ones that know nothing about cars. A good pot for someone like Takeshi to hide.

I looked up the directory of employees. Nothing. So I asked another receptionist. One that would know what she's talking about.

Allison: I'm looking for Takeshi Tanahashi?

Woman: I'm sorry there's no one here with that name.

Allison: I know this is going to sound stupid but how many of your employees are Japanese?

Woman: I really don't know.

Allison: Hmm...anyone with blond hair?

Woman: I really don't know.

Allison: Hmm...thank you.

I may have hit an issue. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe there's no way I could find him.

Woman: Excuse me I'm Shisuke's wife.

Receptionist: Oh yes. go right in.

I followed her. She was blond with a small child. generic looking. Exactly the kind of woman Takeshi wouldn't like.

Shinzuke onthe other hand might. I was on the chase. I followed her to a series of offces. Mindless drones thinking mindlessly. I walked behind her with her small chil. She never noticed me. Until she go thte the cubicle....the cubicle with my target.

Woman: So how's it going Shinsuke?

Shinsuke: Pretty good. You?

Woman: Great. Now.

Shinsuke: Aw, Stephanie, you're trying to say you like me.

Stephanie: Eh. I'm fond of you.

I let them talk for a little while. Didn't want to butt in on a happy moment. Besides, I had to think of what to say.

Allison: Takeshi?

The man and the woman turned to me as if I had challenged them to a fight. A mizture of confusion and anger.

Allison: This is for you.

I handed him the check and he looked at it. He looked at me and smiled.

Shinsuke: Keep it. I can't cash it anyway.

Allison: Not yours?

Shiunsuke: Yeah.

Allison: ....Gotcha. Sorry ma'am. Didn't meant to follow you.

I looked at the child she was carrying.

Allison: How old is he?

Stephanie: Four months.

Shinsuke: I wanted a girl, but I'm not complaining.

Allison: Well Takeshi.....Shinsuke. Take care.

I walked off but I had to ask one more question.

Allison: Why Austraillia?

Shinsuke: Eh. It's nice here. Besides it's where I met stephanie.

Allison: So you don't miss it?

Shinsuke: Nah. I'm good. I can't wrestle anymore anyways.

Allison: Why not?

Shinsuke looked over to the corner where a wheelchair sat.

Shinsuke: That's mine....I'm a paraplegic now.

Allison: ....I never knew.

Shinsuke: I was in a bad car accident. But I'm kinda lucky because I was able to meet Stephanie.

Allison: Were you a nurse or something Sthepanie?

Stephanie: No. I was involved in teh wreck. It was in town and some guy hit me, and I hit him....I checked in on him to see if he was okay. And we had a connection.

Shinsuke: Besides, she's normal. What I need.

Allison: Right. Well then you two. Take care. And I'll uh....I'll donate this to charity or something.

Shinsuke: Sounds good.

I walked away when Shinsukee said something.

Shinsuke: Allison.

I turned around.

Shinsuke: Tell Rosebud I said hello.

Allison: Who's that?

Shinsuke: You once told me you don't understand me. Find her and you will...

I left. And smiled. After all, I had a job to do.

END.

The Ballad Of Tifa Christensen.

By Alanis Timona.

So, Jamie informed me that he created an E-Fed character based off of me. I'm flattered. Honestly. However since the name seems weird and none of you know the backstory Jamie has asked me to explain it.

It was the year 2002. I had a Sega Dreamcast and was convinced this thing was going to be a big deal still while I was playing my copy of Fire Pro D. I was also teaching in California. One of the classes we had was called SSR. You see one of the governors of California was convinced that making kids read 30 minutes a day was going to help out English and other scores so that we could get more funding. Well they were wrong. But I saw that Jamie was coming back to the school I was teaching at. Now, Jamie had been at some other school the previous two semesters so I decided to take it upon myself to see to it that he wound up in my SSR class. I mean, I need someone to do my work for me...err, talk to. So one day he walks in. He would always walk fast from his last class to make sure he got a copy of the newspaper despite the fact that I always kept a copy for him. So he walks in and I this is way before anyone else showed up to the room. So he comes to my desk like normal and I tell him...

"Hey, I need your help."

"Okay." He says. "What do you need?"

"As you know I've been competing in Muay Thai for a while now, and I think it's time for me to go full on into MMA."

"Okay."

"But I don't want to use my real name, so I need a fake name to use."

Now, this needs some explaining here. Back in 2002, we didn't have a commission overseeing MMA. In fact, it was banned. It was banned until 2006. So shows were unsanctioned and usually on Indian Reservations. King Of The Cage, I'm looking at you. So it would be very easy to run an unsanctioned show in California if you knew what you were doing. Plus you also have to understand something else about where we live.

California, for all that it is reported to be by the media, is in fact, a mostly Republican state. There are in fact, more registered Republicans than Democrats. And in the area where we live, it's almost all Republicans. It's a very right wing, Republican, god fearing area that reads the bible daily and asks god for the answers to everything. So If they find out a local high school teacher is going around fighting in MMA, there would be a media backlash and I would probably get fired. And since money in MMA at the time wasn't that good, I wasn't exactly going to make a lot of money fighting. So I needed an alias.

"Well...I always joke around you look like Tifa Lockhart"

This was a running gag because I have long black hair. And I guess because...I like to kick things.

"And you're mothers maiden name is Christensen right? How about Tifa Christensen?"

"...I like it."

And as such, that name and "Tifa" in general became a nickname for me in someway.

It's better than naming your kid Vincent Valentine...STOP LAUGHING AT ME.

Alanis Timona is a professional Muay Thai Kickboxer and Teacher and has an MMA record of 2-0. She really does look like Tifa Lockhart if Tifa Lockhart was 6'1" 170 pounds. She enjoys choking me out in her spare time and let it be known this is the last time I will ever have to explain one of my characters ever.

The Jamie Awards.

J: And now, a special guest. A friend of ours, and part shareholder in the promotion. Here to talk about some of the people no longer in the promotion, here is Vincent Russow.

V: Thank you. Oh goody. I finally get to talk. You know, when I'm not busy ripping off old Dennis Leary bits on MTV and booking a promotion down in Tennessee into the fucking ground, I like to make fun of people. Because even though I'm religious now, I still don't feel...better enough than everybody else. So I make fun of people. Now, I'm going to make fun of people who aren't in the promotion anymore. Simply because I'm too afraid to actually talk to anybody face to face because they might beat my ass and so the only way I can do this is to make fun of people who aren't reading this.

This is a tribute to all the people who have left. Either because they got kicked out, or left or were just general cocks.

First up is every body's favorite DaBrotherman. Wanna know how hated this guy was? A while ago when he begged for forgiveness, the following E-Mail was sent.

fromJamie Sullivan toKali dateFri, Apr 3, 2009 at 5:20 AMsubject: I love how your last name is usually the only thing that never shows up on spellcheck. Also, douchebag.

Aww what the fuck?

DaBrotherman? Really? Are we really going to have to open ourselves up to this again.

Reply:

We're ignoring him. Until he goes away.

The only good thing that DaBrotherman ever did was leave. I'd say it's impossible for him to make a comeback, but DXK sorta grew up and started not to suck shit. So who knows. However DaBrotherman caused the greatest Promo ever done by anybody ever, that is of course the DaBrotherman Straight Shooting Series Shoot Interview promo. Never read it? Do a search for it. I though I would laugh until I fucking hyperventilated.

This brings us to RapMasterD...whatever his name is. Who quit because everyone else was better than him. And this is true. But he's a fake legend because he was the first guy int he pool. But that's not what's newsworthy. this douchebag actually left to become a real pro wrestler...WHAT THE FUCK? You did things the opposite way~! You're supposed to be a Pro Wrestler and THEN go into another profession. Like Phoenix. She's a fucking doctor now. And no one can deny that move up. Not even Bill fucking gates.

Then we have Darkboy. Who was in the promotion for all of two fucking seconds before he left. But it doesn't matter because he sucked shit. So whatever.

Then we have Beef. Beef didn't leave because he wasn't any good, or because he never promoed. Or because he was String in a Mexican Halloween costume and a fucking Pinata. It's because he was a fucking Mexican. And I don't want to see Mexicans on my fucking TV screen. I see enough of them fixing my front yard. No one wants to see this shit. Fuck Beef and fuck Mexico.

Then there is Kali who left the promotion a while ago. Another one for the other promotion conspiracy. You'd think that a person who was a legit college graduate would be able to act as such, But usually whenever Kali was involved in a promo or a feud she no sold all the stuff that happened to her unless you were friends with her and also her knees are made of fucking chalk. So if you ever see her, and she starts bitching like only Kali does, just hit her with a plastic fork or something. She'll fall down. If she starts screaming like Nancy Kerrigan you've done you're job, and you're girlfriend will soon figure skate topless.

Then there's Takeshi Tanahashi. You know what I said about Beef? Well it's the same for Takeshi, only no one wants to see Japanese people on TV. Who watched this shit? Jackass. Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck.

C-Rod decided to show up for about 5 minutes earlier. Saying he wanted to have a tournament to have his shitty managerial skills before disappearing back into a black hole where everybody who leaves this promotion goes to. Kali and Derek own the blackhole now. Actually they don't they just like to pretend they have as much power as possible. They also have 22 acres of land in fucking Croatia or whereever the fuck Kali's from and shoot the poor for fun. Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck.

There's about fifteen more cocksuckers that I could talk about, but it'd just be the same shit. You'd think with the new people coming in that really are the same people with different names you'd think that you people would grow up. Or at least you think that would happen.

I'm going home. Possibly to kill my wife.

J: Thank you Vincent. We'll be seeing you on Monday Night Raw soon.

Issue 27.

"Hey You Marks." By Lyn Sullivan.

To all the idiots on these boards, I would like to remind you all that to me ECW was nothing more than a bunch of overrated wrestlers being led by a plastic Jesus in a trench coat, with lackluster action in ring. Sabu. look at Sabu, what a piece of garbage. If Sabu can have one match where he doesn't botch at least two spots, I'll give him $100. Which he probably needs. And I don't want to hear this garbage about how "Well he was different for his time." So fucking what. Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero had hundreds of good matches outside of ECW. Paul Heyman sucks. I also refuse to acknowledge the so called greatness of this Raven & Stevie Richards Vs The Pit Bulls 2 Out Of 3 Falls Dog Collar match. What's so great about it? That you threw away 8 months of payoff in a 30 minute match? And why in the hell would Beulah want it to be a 2 out of 3 falls match anyways? How does that give Raven any advantage?

Todd Gordon also sucks. I refused to work for 3PW while I was out on the east coast years ago.

(Editors Note: this resulted in a debate, which whould be released soon. Once Phoenix finishes her part up.)

Baba Wouldn't Book This. By Marcus Leonhart.

Yeah, that's my real name.

Been tired of WWE lately. Booking's been bad. I mean, take a look at No Way Out.

Kofi Kingston gets a shot in a main event and is taken out by Edge. What the hell?

How does any young talent want to stay here knowing that they'll probably never get pushed? I mean, there has been one star made in the past maybe 3 years? CM Punk. And if the talent gets complacent and doesn't care? Why should I?

TNA, whoa boy...let me tell you about this. This is a great promotion. If you haven't' watched Impact in the last few months, don't worry, you've missed nothing, half of the damn episodes involve Mick Foley and Jeff Jarret talking about balls. The rest of the show is Kurt Angle hanging on to what dignity he has left, and Sting being a bad ass at 50. I want to be booked that well at 50. Hell, I want to be in wrestling period when I'm 50. Throw in some horrible gimmicks (Samoa Joe, Suicide) makes this a circus for all. in fact, something about a lot of these gimmicks....kinda makes me want to kill myself...

To talk about the lack of decent booking direction lately, we talked with TWICS booking expert Stephan Tremoni on his opinions on what decent promotions are having good booking.

CHIKARA...I guess? Maybe Dragon Gate? They have BxB Hulk. And he's pretty hot...I mean awesome...I said awesome.

Marcus: I can't help but notice you have a baby in the house. Is it yours?

Stephan: No, I'm gay I bought this baby straight cash....Aww dammit.

Baba Married A Vulcan. By Alanis Timona.

I didn't realize this til Dave Meltzer mentioned it but umm...have you ever noticed that Baba's wife never had like, any emotions at all? She's a straight up fucking Vulcan.

Issue 24.

Yoshihiro Akiyama signs with the UFC.

When asked, he said "I'm going to follow Takeshi Tanahashi and get my win back.

Hey just for fun, let's google Takeshi Tanahashi.

Holy shit...

TAKESHI HAS A FACEBOOK?

WHAT THE FUCK?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU ANYMORE.

Me: So you must be excited for Wrestlemania.

Punk: Yeah. It's going to be insane wrestling in front of that many people. I made my debut at Ford Field in front of 80,000 or however many it was.

Me: Well actually you technically made your debut in Chicago...You have a good memory you should know that...

Punk: Damn, I just got served.

Me: I'm sorry, please don't hate me.

Issue 22.

Couture comes back. Set to face Brock at UFC 91.

Well, that was pointless.

Randy Couture Vs. Brock Lesnar was signed for UFC 91 in November. In Las Vegas. This comes after months of Couture saying he will never fight in the UFC again. So...great.

That being said. Within hours of this news being announced. all the major sports orginazations were all over it. ESPN mentioned it on Sportscenter and had it on their Bottom Line all day. Dana White said that there will be a 2 or three part 24/7 special.

So, here to talk about how many buys this fight could bring in. We welcome buys expert Lilith Sullivan.

"800,000. Guaranteed."

Tune in next week when we ask Lilith about the meaning of life.

"Staying smart and making sure you stay out of rehab more times than your ex has."

So yeah. Every message board on the internet is going to be pure hell come November 15th. Can you imagine what would happen if Brock wins? Sherdog might explode.

Issue 21.

BREAKING NEWS: LILITH SULLIVAN NAMED GPWA PRESIDENT.

With rumors of Misawa stepping down as GPWA president, Lilith Sullivan won a vote off over Stan Hansen, Three DVDVR posters and a kitchen sink to become the new GPWA President. Here now, is a statement from the new president.

"Dear all. I thank you all for this honor. An honor that I did absolutely nothing to earn and was not even aware of my running until I heard that I won. And for that, I am great.

My first act as president is to actually learn what promotions are in the GPWA. Also to learn when The Global Tag League is. Also I have several new gimmicks planned for all your favorite wrestlers. I already have planned Jun Akiyama to grow cornrows and to unmask Dragon kid revealing him to be in fact, 12 years old. I will then make Stalker Ichikawa Z the GHC Champion because he would be the highest drawing champion ever. I will then return the favor to ROH, by booking all their talent against mine, and squashing them like the bugs that they are, making thier promotion worthless, and adding in CHIKARA so we may see Worker Ant wrestle KENTA. A Hardcore dream match.

Thank you, and may god have mercy on us all."

Dictated not read: The Managment.

Issue 20.

Affliction has a show. Lies, loses tons of money.

The truth is, you can probably take any new MMA promotion from the last year or so and replace it and the headline would still work.

Yeah Affliction lied about a lot of things. The lied about attendance (They claimed 10,000 sold but they ended up buying a bunch of tickets themselves to jack up that number), They lied about Buyrates (They said 100,000 but really it will be 75,000) and they lied about the payroll. Almost half the fighters on the show made $250,000 or more. Let me ask you this. WHO THE FUCK WOULD PAY VITOR BELFORT A QUARTER GRAND IN THIS DAY AND AGE?

The good thing, is that Fedor Emilelainenko, Undisputed #1 Heavyweight in the world and Possible cyborg beat Tim Sylvia by Humbling in just 36 Seconds to become the first WAMMA Champion. Hopefully WAMMA merges with YAMMA. Really it was a good show overall. even if it was from a show that probably wont make it a year out.

1. Paul Buentello (26-10) defeated Gary Goodridge (23-18-1) via unanimous decision on 30-27 scores across the board.

Other stuff.

Earlier today, my friend Alanis and I were talking.

Alanis: I had a dream last night.

Me: Okay.

Alanis: I had a dream where there were a bunch of MMA promotions. And there were all these big companies that just were willing to just give away money just to run an MMA promotion. Also, I had a flying Dragon, and I had Ice Cream.

Me: Is this Cottage Cheese still good?

Alanis: I think that's milk.

Me: Right...

In my 15 years of the UFC retrospective, I said that the current chapter could very well be the chapter about all the other MMA promotions trying to, and failing to beat the UFC.

At the beginning of this year, MMA seemed like a 8-horse race or so. Seriously. Now it seems we are down to about 3. And one of those promotions, Strikeforce may really never be a national contender, even though if it did, I'm sure Dana White wouldn't have the problems with it that he did with the other promotions.

Anyways, lets take a quick look a this clusterfuck of a year.

Case #1: The IFL.

At one point, Dana White called the Team concept "Retarded"

It may not have been that, but by 2008, the IFL knew they fucked up, because they tried, and failed to market it well.

The IFL began in January of 2006. Founded by Kurt Otto and some guy from Wizard Magazine. It's goal was to be the first team based MMA promotion.

The IFL was an interesting concept. 5 on 5 Team Battles featuring coaches that were well known to MMA fans. The first season was very rudimentary. 4 teams, in a single elimination tournament. The Quad City Silverbacks were the first ans second champions, winning an 8-team tournament over the course of the second half of 2006.

From there in 2007 they divided the season up into a regular season and a Playoff season. There were now 12 teams. Don' ask me to name them all, I couldn't tell you. hey all had hometowns, which didn't make sense, a lot of the teams never really had homefield advantages or anything like that. MMA's still banned in New York so Renzo Gracie's team were able to get as far as New Jersey before risking arrest.

Some of the hometowns didn't even make sense. For example, Ken Shamrock's team was "located" in Nevada. The rest of the teams were seemingly makeshift. Bas Rutten's team was in L.A., Carlos Newton's team was based out of Toronto which also still has MMA outlawed Antonio Inoki's team was based out of Tokyo despite the fact the IFL never even dream of holding a show in Tokyo, Marco Ruas was Southern California, Maurice Smith was Seattle, Matt Lindland was Portland, Frank Shamrock was San Jose, Don Frye was Tuscon, and no offense to Don Frye but god were they terrible, hell, they even gave a team to Igor Zinoviev, based out of Chicago 20 points to whoever knew who he was before hand. Each team had 3 meets. Throw in a complicated tiebreaking system to determine who goes to the playoffs and what do you know, it all adds up to a big pile of shit.

From there The IFL knew they fucked up because they announced a Grand Prix at the end of the year. The idea was to crown a champion in each weight class and then with their all-star team (And I use that term loosely) throw out challenges to other promotions. Seriously. That's what Kurt Otto told me once in a Conference Call.

The promotion off the heels of the MMA boom went public. At one point the stock price was up to 15 dollars a share. I'm totally serious here. Soon enough.

The IFL to be honest, really had some good shows. One downright awesome one in Seattle. But by the time 2008 came around, they knew they were in trouble. the shows were all heavily papered and soon enough, the IFL basically put up a white flag in one of their Quarterly reports saying, in fancy talk "We're out of fucking money"

After the GP, they ditched the team concept, now, to be honest, nothing would have saved them, but why would they do this? This was like, the only thing that set them apart from everybody else. Well to be fair, they did keep it in a way, basically, it changed from "teams" To fighters affiliated with different camps. From here the Camp/Team system just grew out of control and I had no idea which team was which anymore.

then, the IFL said that at the Aug. 28th event, they would have a new ring called "The Hex" Right about now was when everybody in the room, sans the IFL promoters figured out that the IFL would not be around for much longer. The promotion cut it's workforce from 32 employees to 7 employees.

Then soon after, or hell to be honest, it may have been the same conference call, sthe promotion said that the IFL was cancelling their next event. the previously mentioned August event. Now, I'm not sure of the exact quote here, but there was a line in the press release involving the cancelled event, and the eventual hiatus of the promotion.

"This event was cancelled due to the company's financial problems. No announcement can be made in regards to when or if the promotion would resume full-scale operations again"

Translation: WE'RE FUCKED.

to be fair, maybe it's what's best. the IFL took every great opportunity that was given to them and they not only dropped the ball, but fumbled it into their own end-zone causing a safety, and then on the ensuing kickoff let a 90-yard touchdown be returned.

MyNetwork TV was more than happy to give them weekly TV. Let's think about this. WEEKLY TV. The first episode featured clipped fights and the promise of someone going out on a stretcher. Complete with 911 call in the background. People turned off the TV, and did not return. Instead of being the promotions Monday Night Fights sorta type show for it's Dual Team Meets, we got this clusterfuck of an abomination of a program with Bas Rutten and some Playboy model hosting the show while showing old fights. to be fair, the promotion did eventually just revert the show into a weekly broadcast of it's Dual Meets, but it was too late. The fans were, gone, never to return.

As mentioned before, the Team concept was a good idea, but the season structure sucked. Anytime I have to go through 8 tiebreaking procedures to determine what teams might make the playoffs you have a problem.

Before long a endless series of mismanagement's resulted in the stock mentioned earlier to drop to around .08 a share.

By the end of July, it was over. Eventually The IFL sold it's assets to HD Net Fights.. No clue why. Would have made more sense to have sold it to Zuffa. Maybe they weren't willing to pay enough. Anyways, this leads me to my next promotion.

Case #2: HD Net Fights.

Yeah, this one I actually have to give credit to HD Net. They realized their idea was a load of garbage and they stopped it. You see, originally HD Net Fights was supposed to be a pure sports MMA promotion. No fancy characters or stages like in the UFC nand PRIDE...never mind that's what makes those promotions and MMA as a whole so great. I can't believe Mark Cuban is a wrestling fan.

So anyways, at some point they decided that after two shows, they didn't have the resources available to do a promotion like this. Instead, they focused on other promotions, becoming a Friday Night Fights deal where they would take their cameras to various promotions around the country and show certain shows. It's a great idea actually, and I hope they do it more. eventually they got the broadcast rights to the DREAM promotion in Japan and began showing those shows. Which leads me to...

Case #3: DREAM.

So when K-1 essentially merged with what was left of DSE the world went crazy and said "YAY! WE'RE GONNA GET PRIDE AGAIN"

And when I mean the world, I mean, about a hundred or so geeks on a message board

Then when the first show came everybody was like "YAY! WE HAVE PRIDE AGAIN"

Then the rating came in. It sucked. I don't remember the number, but by DREAM 5 or so which was a primetime show in Japan it pulled less than a 10.0 which is not good.

And that's really all I have to say about it. DREAM this year has been a colossal failure of a promotion. Just about every card has been injury plagued, the main event to the first show couldn't go off without a hitch, and all in all, nobody cared. Perfect recipe for failure.

Now, in all honesty, DREAM isn't out of business yet. For all we know, it may continue to go on. But the hype it once had and the ability it once had to be PRIDE's successor is gone. On that note.

Case #4: World Victory Road/Sengoku.

Before you ask, I think the first problem arises from the fact that no one really know what the hell the damned promotions name is. Is it World Victory Road? Is it Sengoku? Well trns out I think WVR is like the parent company, and Sengoku is the name of rhte promotion, you know like the sengoku era in japan? With Samurai's and stuff like that? Because that's what MMA fighters are. SAMURAI'S MOTHERFUCKER.

Anyways, if you've never seen a show of theirs, I'll give you a quick rundown. I have three common complaints.

1. A lot of the booking doesn't make sense. Everything's revolved around Takanori Gomi and Kazuo Mizaki and Hidehiko Yoshida. Everyone else is secondary.

2. They have tournaments to crown champions that don't make sense. They're Lightweight tournament was titled "Road to Gomi", maning that the winner will face Takanori Gomi for The Lightweight Title. So they put Gomi in the meantime against a bunch of jobbers to give him wins. Only that didn't work, becuase he fucking lost his last fight to Sergey Gololev, and don't ask me if I even pronounced that name right. So being it's japan, guess what they did, go ahead, I'll give you one guess.

They put Gomi in the fucking title fight anyways...

Yeah...

3. These shows are fucking horrible. they will often go 4-5 hours and have very little action. I legit fell asleep during the last one. I'm totally serious. I fell asleep at my damned computer.

So yeah. this is a promotion that didn't need to be made. And it was. And this is the result.

Case #4: YAMMA Pit Fighting.

For those of you who have no fucking clue what this is, let me give you a basic backstory...you know what? Fuck it. I'll just copy/paste from Wikipedia.

Yamma Pit Fighting is a new mixed martial arts promotion that was created by original UFC promoter Robert Meyrowitz. The promotion's first event, YAMMA 1, was held on April 11, 2008 in Atlantic City, New Jersey at the Trump Taj Mahal. The YAMMA Pit arena is a large circular cage with a surrounding fence on the edges of a bowl-like floor with slanted edges.

Before you ask Yes. THAT Robert Meyrowitz and YES It was a absolutely horribly fucking ill conceived idea.

But don't let me tell you this. Let's see what the me of 7 months ago thought of this show. You see, I actually watched this show live on PPV. Just out of boredom. Now, please remember, I'm not really the person you see here today, my brain wasn't broken yet and I haven't given up hope on mankind yet, so, this is me in a slightly different point of view.

The following was written to a Wrestling/MMA website on April 11th 2008.

What's that in the distance? A large monument not unlike Easter Island? A Towering Monstrosity brought down by Aliens? Or perhaps a gigantic high tech space ship arriving to lead us to some sort of promised land?

No...it's the poorly designed ring for a shitty MMA Promotion.

O.O

WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?

Was this necessary? Look! There are like 50 people in the crowd anyways. This mystery surface didn't even do it's job of getting people to want to see the show for the reveal of this god-forsaken piece of garbage. This would never have worked. Unless there were no other major MMA shows for weeks either before or after this. Because that is the only conceivable reason someone would waste money on the reveal of a deformed cage. What a freaking waste. That's what it is, a Self-Indulgent worthless pretentious fucking waste of space. It looks like someone took an old EFC ring and said..."This doesn't look shitty enough. Lets make it angled"

So, they based this show around the revealing of a new surface. Which people were able to see days before the show began. And the promotion had a problem with this and said "Well footage sneaked out". Yeah. because these idiots put it on their own damn website.

So then they take a Chuck Norris WCL ring and put a cage around it. And the reason they gave for this...was that this would prevent people from getting fighters up against the cage and Lay And Praying for a easy win. Now I saw this coming from a mile away. When I first saw this YAMMA weeks ago my first reaction was..."Wait...since the mat is at an angle...wouldn't that make it easier to get takedowns and Lay and Pray a victory? Being CLOSER to your opponent?" Sure enough, that's EXACTLY WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED.

This concept was doomed from the get go. A bunch of C Level fighters sitting on each other for 5 minutes at a time. Meanwhile the announcers who don't know shit are talking seemingly incoherently about...stuff...I guess, half the time they sounded like ducks quacking.

But since YAMMA announced a second show...I'm going to be helpful. I'm not an expert, but here are a few things that could help this promotion out.

1. The "YAMMA". Got to go. It's a dumb gimmick and it hurt the fights more than it tried to help. What's wrong with a regular cage? Or even a ring? Do we really need a surface that causes boring fights put the fighters at greater risk of ankle and foot injury's and overall fucking sucks? No. We don't.

2. The One-Night Tournament. If this is going to stay, get it and keep it away from Heavyweights. Use it for Lightweight fighters. Having a show filled with nothing but Heavyweights makes it seem like you are stuck in 1994. Speaking of...

3. Video Quality. Has to improve. It looked like garbage. Could you guys not find any video equipment made before 1994?

4. Better timing. The most absurd part of this show is that it takes place 8 days before a UFC show. Not Just any UFC show. A UFC show that has the exact opposite of everything this card had on so many levels. A UFC show with quality fighters, names people care about, a hot crowd and more than pocket change thrown into the advertising budget. The latest version of the most important UFC show ever is taking place next week. And a group is gonna make a PPV debut and expect people to spend money on this show? No Buys.

5. Masters fights. Garbage. Get rid of them. I don't care what dumb excuse you make for using them, they got to go.

So in recap. That fights sucked. The fighters sucked. The promotion sucked. The cage sucked. Everything about this flat out sucked. And I know I should be more literate in my review of this show...but that's what this show did. It sucked. What's your next idea Mr Meyrowitz? Why half ass it? Why not buy Rio Heros and broadcast those shows on PPV?

It sucked out loud. This promotion and cage sucks. It Fucking Sucks, It Sucking Fucks, It Fucking Blows, It's a piece of shit....and I don't like it.

So yeah...that just about sums that up. Moving on...

Case #5: Bodog Fight.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking, THIS PROMOTION RAN SHOWS IN 2008? Yep. Well sorta.

I'd like to start out now by saying, that I actually like this promotion While I'm sure they lost a ton of money, I liked the second season they showed. Fights in a big gigantic building made to look like a gigantic ballroom in Russia. It was like, what Studio Wrestling would be like for me. It was neat. It was different.

Well, anyways, Bodog ran like, two PPV shows. Both did terribly. One even had Fedor Emeilianenko fighting, of all people, Matt Lindland. Yeah, I know.

After shooting another good season worth of shows down in Costa Rica. Bodog began to realize that they were losing tons of money. Their TV deal was cancelled and they resorted to just sponsoring events across the country and showing them on a TV show on their website.

Eventually, $37 million dollars later, the promotion closed down. Oh well. Just have to wait for another money mark to produce cool TV shows.

Well all in all, That was the rise and fall of the start up in a nutshell. But we're not done yet. Next time, I'll be taking a suprisingly personal look at the most famous promotion to go out of business this year. See you all next time, And I think you know what's next.

Tune in next time when 50 EliteXC employees say...

"FUCK~!"

Thanks for reading.

Jamie Sulllivan.

Steve.

I checked the weather channel today only for them to tell me that it's -22 degrees in hell today and there was a chance of snow. Should I take this as some sort of sign?

What do you think the best part of this is gonna be?

The eventual blow up with Vince Russo leading to his departure from the company only to hire someone else as booker who's just as bad?

The eventual return of Eric Bischoff to wrestling television?

The eventual Ed Leslie X Division title run?

The bad third rate knockoff of "Real American" that we'll have to hear?

The eventual feud with Suicide. (Okay, that was a low blow.)

Or maybe the eventual Hogan/Vince Russo feud culimnating at Bound for Glory,

Hardcore Justice Feedback: OR, How I learned to stop caring and love Vince Russo.

Thumbs down.

Best match: RVD Vs. Sabu.

Worst match: ...probably the three way.

Dave as a hardcore ECW mark who has a lot of friends who are hardcore ECW marks, it's a bad sign when they all say "That show is going to suck"

I was at the first One Night Stand and Hardcore Homecoming five years ago. They were wonderful experiences...five years ago. I stood and screamed as ECW was allowed to be once again for two more nights. The sound the people around me made when Mike Awesome threw Masato Tanaka threw a table is something I'll never be able to forget.

Tonight, I watched Hardcore Justice, and me and my two friends were too depressed to care...The sound of Silence as it were.

I watched hype packages for Paul Heyman and Joey Styles and neither were there, because both have decided to move on.

I watched A.J. Styles, honestly one of my favorite wrestlers explain an angle that he never saw when it happened because he hadn't started watching wrestling til the monday night wars.

I saw two of the nameless women TNA has talk about ECW like it was an after thought on an ECW tribute show. One even saying that "I didn't watch ECW til like the last year."

And then Dixie Carter comes in at the end. I remember Bryan once said something during the Victory Road 09 review. They cut to Dixie during that show and she had a look on her face. And they could only imagine what she was thinking. Probably something along the lines of "What a great show I'm watching. that Jenna Vs Sharmell match sure was something." I had that thought running through my head as Bubba Ray carried her to the ring.

This had none of the spirit of ECW. Because all that spirit is not only gone, it's impossible to recapture without a few key things. One being namely the letters E-C-W. Instead...we just had a desperate three hour circle jerk. This show had about as much spirit and soul as a Morris Marina and went by twice as slow. If I could sum up this show in one sentence it would be this.

I've seen a lot of shit...but this show...was fuck.

I'm done Dave.

Thumbs down.

Best Match: None.

Worst Match: Women's match.

I hated this show. With a passion. I would say the show had a steady decline but that would indicate the show had a peak. Even the opening tag I hated. It was just a bunch of spots thrown together with no real psychology. I mean, great, you guys can do spots but Jesus Christ is this all you can do?

So lets do a quick checklist.

Young stars going on first underneath the rest of the show: Check.

Women's match with bad result: Check.

Tag match with two days of build: Check.

Predictable swerves?: Check.

Random stip matches?: Check.

Lethal Vs. Williams ending it what I took as a total fluke win for a babyface?: Check.

Dixie Carter "Acting": Check.

Payoffs that don't seem like payoffs?:Check.

Dave. I'm 25 years old. I've been watching wrestling since the age of four. I've often made jokes about giving up on wrestling and TNA being run by people who don't know how to get young guys over. And I wonder if I'm just crazy and wrestling's past me by. And then I watch a show like this and it reaffirms what I've been thinking all along.

This industry is fucked.Thumbs down.

The Rise And Fall Of String.

"I know what I'm doing, you dont."

"I'm the champion"

"I should be champion"

"I want a rematch. I deserve it. Fuck the rest of you"

"I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ALL THINK I'M STUCK UP."

INterview with ANWAR.

Hey Anwar, how does it feeeel to be the last interview in This Week In Combat Sports History?

1. Hi everyone! Uhm I'm last wow I feel honored...until you return

like Terry Funk.

You are an Ayako Hamada fan, ow did you get into her stuff?

2. To be honest playing as her (and Meiko Satomura) in Fire Pro Wrestling Returns was the intial reason. Then I did research and found it amazing someone only a few months older had been around the world & wrestled for so many years. Plus I'm an Ultimo Dragon fan & thought it was cool her dad mentored him.

Are there any Divas you like?

3. *Checks roster* The just released a few I liked. Beth & Nattie are the only two I can fool with. Haven't seen too much of the young

broads to comment on them.

Tell us how Team Real Deal was an awful idea and how I should be punched in the face for it.

4. Ha, Ha, Ha! *Drew Rosenhaus voice: Next question!*

Anyone you'd like to bury in the fed?

5. Nope I'm too nice for that.

Next Time On This Week In Combat Sports.

Well actually there isn't going to be anything in the next issue, because there isn't going to be a next issue. This is it. IIssue 30 will be the last issue of This Week In Combat Sports. This newsletter has gone through many different changes but the truth is that I don't watch WWE anymore, and since I post this in WWE threads it's kinda pointless. That being said Phoenix has suggested I do a "What are you watching thread" on the boards. You see, we got really bored and decided "Hey lets watch some old WOW" And yeah.

Some thank yous.

To Lyn Sullivan/Matthews, the annulment papers never got fired. Once you get better, we'll talk.

To the late Brandy Williams, I miss you, we all miss you. And you and Lyn had the single greatest women's match I've ever seen.

To Lilith Sullivan. I miss you and hope things are well in Illinois. Hope Christian is taking care of you and remember it was your idea to do this in the first place. So thank you.

To Stephan Tremoni, don't let anyone tell you what you can or should be.

Marcus Leonhart, I've known you for a long fucking time, since we were four? Anyways, thank you for telling me that I was creative and to go with my ideas.

Finally to a lot of you, there's a main reason why I'm stopping the newsletter.

You see, it's become obvious of two things here on this board.

1. The lot of you aren't very smart, or aren't people I would want to hang out with. I don't mean in terms of wrestling. I mean in general. Everything on this board is people from two sides of a political spectrum that is inherently fucked up arguing about why they are right and turning things into a pissing contest.

2. To the people I do get along with, I get a feeling that I'm not welcome at time. Like I see you all go on with each other, but it seems very clear that you guys have a circle and I'm not invited, now I don't know if it's because of a matter between me and an ex that is in said circle or if I've come off as if I don't want to be invited, or you all just don't want me to be in your group, but you could at least tell me the what the reason is. And give me the common decency of a simple answer when I ask you something. Did you know there's questions I've openly asked you all several times and NEVER gotten an answer to? That's insane. And if the reason is that you don't like the way I act? Well then, this is the way I act, I don't ave this problem with other friends, so I guess we must not be very good friends then.

And anyways, thanks guys for reading. I appreciate it,. And you know where to contact me.
