More sponsors added to the UFC banned list

2)No, it proves they didnt get what they paid for. With Frank Trigg, unless you want to see him get choked out, you'll always be dissapointed, so incidently most probably will he be also.

3)Where did you get that information from? was it provided for you BY TNA...in which case...I wouldnt trust that information as being accurate

I think I'll provide you with my Bibliography now (i've limited it to the ones about Professional Wrestling)

1. There is a relation between the Wrestling in the 1880's and Pro Wrestling nowadays. Actually they considered it Grappling and they were Grapplers, then became wrestlers, which in turn became Pro wrestlers. Like I said Wrestling at one time was real and then evolved into scripted wrestling which became sports entertainment.

2. How does this relate to them not knowing crapola about MMA. It's already been proven they must have known the difference and that they know what crap was being sold and wanted nothing of it. Which like #1 proves you wrong. So why are you bothering to throw around mumbo jumbo, I already proved I know more about that match, what lead up to the match and its stupid outcome.

3. Well considering your knowledge of TNA = Frank Trigg was on a show or two, and the ring is an octagon, maybe you should stop the argument right there when it has TNA as a point of your argument.

Whats your thesis have to do with any of this. Everyone already knows that Pro Wrestling or Sports Entertainment is nothing more then the male equivalent of a womans Soap Opera.

Dave is wrong, he knows he is wrong so now all he is doing is saying the same thing over and over again.

No I'm repeating myself...because what I am saying is correct...so...there is little more to say.

The connection between Professional Wrestlers and circus wrestling of 300 years ago is so vauge its no connection at all

We dont need a huge influx of Professional Wrestlers, nor their hardcore fans unless we want to be a fad like their industry

TNA does mock MMA and Frank Trigg does contribute to that

Professional Wrestling, isnt and never has been a Competative sport, though the companies producing them have lied about that at times.

Thats the truth...I'm just recapping and reminding every sane individual out there

They are one and the same, in fact some of the moves still used today were conceived in one of these Carnival Wrestling matches. It's also where collegiate wrestling moves were first used.

When Carnivals came to town the strongman used to hold athletic shows in which they challenged the locals to either pin them or submit them. This is pretty much the early days of wrestling and why it was and is considered a sport.

Saying there is no tie from one and the other is like saying MMA has no ties to any Martial Art. Unless it only does to back some half assed lame argument on your behalf.

Why not, Brock and Lesley are both willing to prove themselves and in my eyes have thus far. They are both young in terms of the sport so why write them off. Besides for someone whos jumped on the Amir bandwagon (1-0 before he got on tuf) thats kinda hypocritical dont you think.

How does TNA mock MMA, its 2 different things. Personally I think its cool that Pro Wrestling is willing to try and tap into the popularity of the sport. Second I think its cool when Undertaker tries for a GoGoPalata and busts out the armlocks. I don't think its insulting to the sport at all.

Can we not say in many ways the UFC tried to emulate the WWF/WWE. Pyrotechnic entrances, fighters coming out to music. I mean thats more the WWF/WWE kinda thing.
