brock on sportscenter, looks in the best shape in years

 

All makes sense why he beat Ambrose so easily and it was never mentioned again

 

Brock fighting Mark Hunt at UFC 200. Brock might die.

 

Haha, Punk's debuting on the show where UFC is promoting Summerslam?

 

Is he still using the name CM Punk in UFC?

 

No.

edit: actually...maybe lol. His profile on UFC.com has him listed as CM Punk.

CM Punk

 

Brock might die

Punk is using CM Punk as his name

 

I'm trying to get this to make sense in my mind and I just cannot wrap my head around it. SO MUCH has to go perfectly for WWE to come out okay. If Brock wins but gets bloodied or hurt really bad, is that a win for WWE? I don't think so. He basically has to dominate or else it's bad for WWE.

 

Holy shit. WWE is looking to grab Roderick Strong and Moose.

So happy if Moose makes the transition. He's become someone I've really enjoyed watching.

 

Roddy could potentially become the the most hated heel ever in Full Sail, it would be glorious.

 

People acting like Brock has no chance in this fight are hilarious. Mark Hunt is 12-10 in his career and 4 years older than Brock. Yeah, his striking is insanely dangerous, but he has zero takedown defense or ground ability and he's going against one of the best wrestlers of all time. As long as Brock has learned from previous fights and doesn't try to go punch for punch with Hunt, he can absolutely win this fight.

 

Hard to say the way that crowd is. I don't think they will ever turn on an indie guy. They're so full of themselves they'll cheer him every time.

 

So this happened in my hometown.

 

brock's record wasn't great either, but styles make fights. brock's strike defense is worse than hunt's takedown defense. brock also has been away from the sport for years and, judging by how he looked on sportcenter today, appears to have trimmed down quite a bit. if that's meant to be maintained he's going to have a tough time overpowering hunt. it's not impossible to win an mma fight, it only takes one wrong move, but i'd make him a pretty significant underdog going in.

 

Another hollow attempt at Vince focusing on media and attention, rather than trying to make the product itself actually better. The only reason I'm sure Vince is doing this is a) maybe Brock strong-armed him b) he wants Rousey or McGregor for Mania or c) he thinks the publicity will help.

I'm not as worried about the risks persay as you guys. Injury would be the worst thing that could happen.

 

Alot of Full Sail hated Kevin Owens though.

 

heels are the best truth tellers [64783]

 

I wonder how hard it is for Owens to hold back the profanity. Haha.

 

Quack seems like a good dude. Not sure how into Chikara I'd be, but this is pretty cool.


Hey Wredditors,

Just wanted to drop off a quick note here about some changes to CHIKARAtopia - they start rolling out in about 12 hours or so!

Of all the things fans have asked for, the loudest volume can be attributed to this demand: more current content. You may know that originally, CHIKARAtopia followed the same basic idea as Marvel Unlimited, where content debuted in the service after it had aged 6 months. That all changes - starting late tonight.

You asked for more current content, and we’re giving it to you. So effective tonight, we are reducing the wait time for new releases to hit CHIKARAtopia. You won’t wait 6 months for the latest Season 16 events to arrive…we’re cutting that down to just 1 month! So when you wake up tomorrow morning, all these events will be hitting the system: “Days of the Phoenix” and “5 Senses” from January, “National Pro Wrestling Day 2016,” “Dead Man’s Chest” and “Evil Ways” from February, “The New Batch” and “Secret of the Ooze” from March, “Disk” and “Phone Home,” which together contain the Tag World Grand Prix 2016 tournament, and lastly, “Whisper House” and “The Distant Future” from the month of May.

So get ready to dive in deep, or if you are looking for a digest version of recent events, we posted up a 5-part video series “Previously at CHIKARA” over on our CHIKARALive YouTube channel to help get you up to speed.

What else, you may ask? A new Network Exclusive program, #HourOfPower streams live via CHIKARAtopia on June 26th, at 4:00 pm Eastern. Not too late for our friends in Europe, not too early for West Coast pals either.

Want more? OK. How ‘bout this? Our first live-streamed Network Special, “No One’s First, and You’re Next” takes place Sunday afternoon, August 21st! It’ll be like a plate of tasty tapas before Summerslam is served later that night.

Give it a try. The 1st week of unlimited streaming is totally free: CHIKARAtopia Streaming Subscription | CHIKARA Pro

We’ve been busy. Testing, building, coding, preparing…and we’re just warming up this summer. What else would you want to see from the CHIKARAtopia service?

 

If Chikaratopia somehow came out with a PS4 app, I'd be all over it

 

Awhile back I thought about giving Chikaratopia and Chikara in general a try but the lack of recent content on the streaming service is was kept me from subscribing, i might give it a shot now.

 

He said they're working on a mobile app, so that could be down the line.

 

I know during a promo with Samoa Joe in NXT once he called Joe a bitch and it got edited out, he's certainly better at holding his tongue than Sami Zayn though haha.

 

If you do, watch this years King of Trios, it was amazing
