Six Stellar Wednesday Night Fights; Only One Shown in United States
July 31, 2008 by Michael Sedor
Filed under MMA-UFC
Nine, that’s right nine, www.boxrec.com Top 20 fighters were in action yesterday in a total of six bouts held on three continents. Only one was shown on American television, a surprising ten round domination by Argentine Sebastian Lujan over former world light welterweight champ Jose Luis Castillo seen on ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights. Castillo was making his first foray into the 147-pound weight class.
We at jabandgrapple.com wonder, why can’t ESPN buy the rights to these fights and show them on ESPN Classic? Or better yet why can’t somebody with the rights to old fights (like Top Rank or ESPN) …read more

WWE Night of Champions Pay-Per-View Results
I’m posting the WWE Night of Champions Pay-Per-View Results right here live. If I’m up to it I’ll live blog clever comments any funny stuff. If nothing funny or clever appears then I outsourced the Night of Champions results posts to Mrs. Jabandgrapple.
Match #8
Triple H def. John Cena to retain the WWE Championship
John Cena has to win this one. SmackDown can’t have both titles. Nevertheless, Mrs. Jabandgrapple’s intuition leans toward Triple H bringing both titles to Friday night. I have to agree.
Michael Cole says “If you’re not excited about this one then go home.” Well, …read more
My WWE One Night Stand Predictions…The Morning After
June 2, 2008 by Michael Sedor
Filed under MMA-UFC
Yesterday I made some bold predictions. Let’s see how I did.
PREDICTIONS:
MATCH #1
Falls Count Anywhere
Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga
my choice: Jeff Hardy
my odds: Umaga 2 to 1 favorite
how did I do: Most predictors around the world wide web had Umaga winning this one but I wasn’t so sure. I thought the anything goes style favored the quick and unpredictable Hardy rather than the brutish plodding force of Umaga. As it turned out I was right. The match seemed more like a Bam Margera video than a wrestling match and spent very little time in the ring itself. The out-of-shape Umaga must have …read more

MATCH #7
TLC Match For The WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Edge vs. The Undertaker
Result: Edge wins with ample help from La Familia and Taker is gone.
Match Grade: A-. Great match. Can’t believe that Taker lost. How could the WWE’s #1 superstar be leaving?
Commentary: If The Undertaker loses he’s gone from the WWE. So there’s no way he’s losing…right? Edge is coming out and looks scared, which isn’t the right attitude we think.
Question: What’s the chance of Taker using a Gogoplata choke hold on Edge?
Answer: One million percent.

MATCH #6
Last Man Standing Match For The WWE Championship
Triple H vs. Randy Orton
Result: Triple H wins with a sledgehammer (yes) hit.
Match Grade: B+. Good match which ended early presumably because of a real injury to Orton. The announcing team is saying a broken collarbone and we have no reason to disagree.
Commentary:
Is this match ever going to start? Finally, after an eternity of intros the bell has rung and HHH gets to work quickly slamming Orton into seemingly everything …read more

The madness begins!
MATCH #1
Falls Count Anywhere
Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga
Result: Hardy wins by pin in a crazy match.
Match Grade: B. Entertaining but a little too weird for my tastes. Why couldn’t they have been in the arena? Was it filmed before?
Commentary:
They’re fighting in the aisles! At one point Jeff Hardy rail slides down the arena’s guard rail and pounds Umaga when he reaches the bottom. Why aren’t people leaving their seats? No one is working harder then the referee trying to follow them They are now in the parking lot. Jeff …read more

ECW: The Singapore Cane Match Preview

ECW Results and Highlights Part Two
Chavo Guerrero def. CM Punk
Tazz and Mike Adamle bring up CM Punk’s Money in the Bank and wonder why he hasn’t cashed it in yet. We’re wondering the same thing but then realize that it took Edge nearly nine months to cash in the first Money in the Bank briefcase.
We’re not getting into this match as much as we should. First we’re distracted by a Shamokin-Mount Carmel sign and wonder how a shout out to those two Pennsylvania coal towns could happen in a Colorado Springs arena. Then we focus on CM Punk’s tongue …read more

ECW Results and Highlights Part One
Big Show def. Tommy Dreamer
The Big Show opens the night with a powerful disposal of Tommy Dreamer finishing him off with a spine shattering choke slam. We with the Big Show’s Cro-Magnon brutality but we have do disagree with Tazz’ assessment of him being deceptively quick. Are you kidding?
Match Grade: C
Kofi Kingston def. Mike Knox
This ECW show is showing promise with the energetic Kofi Kingston facing Mike Knox. Guest commentator Shelton Benjamin gets off the line of the night saying Kofi looks like the Monkey Man from Bloodsport. Not familiar with the best Jean Claude …read more
Adamek TKOs Bell in the 8th

Image details: Tomasz Adamek v Paul Briggs served by picapp.com
Polish hero Tomasz Adamek got Saturday’s boxing night off to a cracking start with a surprisingly one-sided victory over Jamaican O’Neil Bell, Ring Magazine’s #3 ranked cruiserweight. After seven rounds of steady punishment Bell’s corner stopped the fight just before the eighth round’s start.
Bell’s body and face did not appear particularly damaged but his downhearted expression told a decidedly different story. He looked like a defeated man, head down, spirit removed, and his trainer responded by giving Adamek a premature TKO.
Adamek looked quick for a cruiserweight, knocking Bell down early, stymieing …read more
