Michael's Extreme Review #2

(Thought I would take some advice and give the matches a letter grade. I don't want to use the star system, that is already in play. )

We have pyro presented in High Definition coming from Richmond, Virginia.

Anyone wanna write for Pulse Wrestling?

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Hi everyone,
FYI, we have an opening for a weekly wrestling columnist at Pulse Wrestling, preferably someone who can post every Wed, Thu or Fri.  If you're interested or know someone who might be, please email me. (This doesn't have to be a long, 22-page work of art either. Can be anything from "Wrestling, News, Opinions"-esque to embedding wrestling videos and doing commentary around them.)
Thanks!

 

No problem.

UFC 4

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

I got a copy of UFC 4 (Revenge of the Warriors!) as a stocking stuffer this past Christmas, and after watching the superb UFC 100 this past week, I thought it would be a neat contrast to go back and watch something from closer to the beginning.  I used to watch these with my roommate back in the day as a weekly ritual, and I don’t really remember much about the early ones outside of “Kenpo Karate always loses” and a lot of Royce Gracie.

- Immediately the atmosphere is way different, with a smaller venue in Tulsa and a more redneck and bloodthirsty crowd than you’d see now.  The hosts are Bruce Beck and Joe Brown (a former football player) and they REALLY make you long for Mike Goldberg.  The soundbites from each fighter are also a far cry from the slicker production values presented today on Spike TV, to say the least.   “Hi, I’m Steve Jennum, and I’m here to defend my title.”  There’s no Tito Ortiz here, lemme tell you.
