Randy Couture vs Stone Cold Steve Austin Fight Scene

From The Expendables. What do you think, would old Stone Cold have ever made for a decent mixed martial artist? Yeah, probably not.

Random YouTube Find of the Moment: Terry Gordy vs Tommy Rich in a barn.

This is from a Southern Championship Wrestling (promoted by Joe Pedicino and Jerry "Crusher" Blackwell) show on January 10, 1989 in an auction barn near Atlanta.  Gordy was working for various indies and the remaining territories in between his tours of All Japan Pro Wrestling and Rich was the top heel in SCW at the time.  This was a really odd period for Rich where he was associating with a bunch of sketchy-looking bikers (including the emaciated Mr. Donnie) on and off-screen.  There are moments during the match where he appears to be in no-condition to perform, as he's unable to properly get put in both a Sharpshooter and figure four leglock at different points.  Still, it's a pretty fun match with brawling all over the barn.

UFC 119: Mir vs Cro Cop Trailer

Here we have the promo that will air on TV for the next month in the lead up to UFC 119: Mir vs Cro Cop. Originally slated to be Mir vs Nogueira, the main event changed after Big Nog suffered an injury in training. A lot of fans online have applauded this change and believe we'll be getting a better match up. I don't agree. Nogueira would have been much more competitive with Mir. People have been sleeping on Mir since he lost to Lesnar and Carwin but he's one of the most dangerous Heavyweights in the UFC. He should run through Cro Cop.

As far as the trailer goes, it's the usual UFC production. It's getting a little better though. They are at a disadvantage because they only get around 30 seconds to make the most of it. Sometimes they nail it but for the most part they leave much to be desired. Many fans have taken to making trailers for bigger main event fights and of them NickTheFace has got to be the best. Below is his video preview of Mir vs Cro Cop. Take it in, in all it's glory.

Late Night Videos - Eddie Guerrero Lies, Cheats and Steals

I really miss Eddie Guerrero. His lie, cheat and steal gimmick was one of the most creative things to ever appear on WWE TV. When he beat Brock Lesnar for the title at No Way Out 2004, I marked out harder than I ever have. It's really a shame that he couldn't handle everything that came with being the world champion. They wanted an extended run for him and before he died it was said that they had plans to put the title back on him. Oh, what could have been. His final match was against Mr. Kennedy on the November 11th edition of Smackdown.

The smile at the 0:13 second mark personified everything about that gimmick that was so ridiculously over at that time. How could you not get into it? As great as it was then, it's just as great now. The WWE didn't give him a big push either. In fact, they were booking him to look weak in matches with Big Show when he initially started to really gain popularity. He got over with the fans solely on his own merits. Enjoy this video of Guerrero's genius in his final match.

UFC 118 Aftermath - James Toney Post Fight Interview

Here we have the James Toney video interview after he was soundly beaten by Randy Couture. As usual it's difficult to understand what he's saying.

Dana White Talks UFC 118

Dana brings us the wonderful news that we won't be seeing any more of James Toney in the UFC. He never should have been there in the first place but you learn these things. By the way, is it odd that he keeps talking about how Kenny Florian chokes in the bigger fights? That bothers me in some ways. Doesn't seem like the kind of a thing a promoter should be saying.
