Nice vid, achilles. Thanks for posting. I've been picking Carwin over Lesnar for a while now. I believe that because of Carwin's lack of speed, his technique may be a little tighter. I also believe that he will carry his strength later into the fight. Lesnar is an awesome athlete, and a very hard worker. I will not be surprised if he defeats Carwin. I thought Couture had some success pinning Lesnar against the fence, and believe Lesnar was showing signs of fatigue in that fight. That fight influences my picking Carwin to win. Maybe training with Couture will have Lesnar better prepared in this area. I'm looking forward to this fight.
I'm in agreeance with you. I also think Carwins power is just too much for Brocks basically untested chin. Nobody has been able to handle it yet so I have to believe Brock is no different. With all that said I must also say that as a person I DO like Brock better then I might have, had I not seen this and afew other behind the scenes videos. I don't understand why he thinks he needs to be a total penishead in the ring, people will watch regardless I think whether he acts like an assclown or not. oh and "Deathclutch" is a great MMA camp name!
I'm a prowrestling mark so I've always been a fan of Brock Lesnar. I think part of his in-ring antics come from Brock's feeling like the fans haven't accepted him as a true mixed martial artist as well as the UFC Heavyweight Champion. I like how Carwin's power matches up against Brock's athleticism, but I think I'm going to go with Lesnar on this one. I think it's a real pick 'em fight so I'll go with Brock's athleticism, wrestling ability and overall intangibles to help him pull out a stoppage win over Carwin.
Randy is one classy guy. I cant believe how many guys hes fought then trained with or vice versa. He beat Maurice Smith then Smith becomes one of Randy's kickboxing coaches, trained with Tito after they fought, with Brock after they fought, I seen him training with Barnett before the Sylvia fight agian class knowing that Barnett roided up vs him, trained with Sylvia before they fought and im sure they would train agian given the chance, fought Randleman years later hes training at Randy's gym, trained with Coleman fought him then invited him back to train, and of course there is Vitor they fight 3 times now Randy corners the guy sometimes.
Brock is a pro wrestler through and through. I hope he doesnt change that. Paul Heyman taught him well and he picked up the tricks of the trade at OVW. Brock is simply a showman and knows how to play the "heel". Either way its showmanship that gains you fans through notoriety. Matter of fact i love his in cage antics. Personality is what keeps sports interesting. If people are talking about it that can only be a good thing.
No better guy to learn from then Paul E Heyman. Dont give a **** what anyone says he might be bat**** crazy but hes a wrestling genius IMO. Wasnt for ECW the late 90s that where so awesome in WCW and WWF never would have existed.
Agreed so many wrestlers who became super successful during the attitude era like Foley, Austin, Rock, HHH should be kissing Heyman's ass IMO and so should guys like Mysterio, Malenko, Jericho who Heyman introduced to America. If it wasnt for Heyman 1996-2001 would have been just as cheap and corny as WWE Raw is now and was back from around 92 to 95. Ric Flair always says in his world people consider him god and to me Heyman should be looked at in the same light. If TNA does manage to sign him man skys the limit. Paul only needed a network and a decent budget to make ECW stick around now he wouldnt have to worry about that. I say tell Hogan to **** off, let Bischoff handle the production and give Paul full creative control because there is nobody else needed in that area when you got Heyman. Imagine Paul writing for TNA and them sticking Impact a few weeks in the ECW arena or back in the Hammerstein Ballroom. I always say this Paul Heyman + TNA Impact in Philly or NY = Revolution.
