    I think he is a cage fighter JR LOL but that I am uncertain. Tyson was good back in the late 80's until he went nuts. What is Tyson doing right now?

    Lots of fellas training for MMA in recent years. Tapout is pretty big.

    I loved wrestling as a kid and continued to watch it for many years for my own amusement as an adult. I pretty much lost interest after Vince bought out WCW and ECW.

    These were the golden years of wrestling IMO...

    I never could really get too much into WWE. Stone Cold and The Rock were entertaining, and Trish Stratus, Torrie Wilson, et al were very nice to look at. But not much else about WWE ever appealed to me.

    I always liked this chick as well:

    Hey JR I too remember watching the WWE when they were great in the 90's. I really liked the war between WWF and WCW that one was an awesome storyline. Right now the writers are not that good like the ones in the past.

    The problem definitely lies with the writers and the people choosing what happens on television and at PPVs. The fact of the matter is that the WWE roster is packed with stars and potential stars. The storylines are so mishandled half the time that viewers aren't treated to a high quality product. Who wants to see wrestlers there for comedy bits and no actual wrestling? The Women's division has been filled with incredible talents for years now that were underused and wasted. The company treats the secondary belts like they don't even matter.

    These problems have only gotten worse over the years, and WWE's overall product could be better quality and easily lead to higher profits.

    At this point I'm training for Jiu-Jitsu competition only.
    Not sure if God designed me with the nuts and bolts necessary for MMA... Definitely not, as far as being a professional. I'd like to have that experience though... Let's see.

    Yeah, Tyson was simply awesome. I kind of feel out of love with boxing, when Tyson retired...
    The thing about Tyson is that no one ever told him there were points in boxing matches :p
    Back then, being the Heavyweight champ meant something... You are 100% the baddest dude on the planet.
    Nowadays, because guys wan't to paddycake for 15 rounds, and score points, people don't even give a shit about who the Heavyweight champ is...

    Tyson had some awesome fights, well into the 90's though... He first lost in 90 against Buster Douglas, and would not lose again until 96.
    He was in jail for a while between those.

    Not sure what's so funny...

    Tyson has an animated series for TV being released soon!
    He also has a show that is kind of like stand-up comedy, but not really. He speaks very candidly about his downfall, drugs, women, etc, and apparently is hilarious!
    I'm always happy to hear he is in a good place!

    We would see I just hope he does not go and bite those women's ears off LOL. I could imagine him talking about drugs and women I cannot see how that is going to work. I have to find out what channel it comes on and what time.

    I honestly think that 380 million is a lot of money,but I think it won't affect the company as much as we think. The reason is that Vince McMahon, is worth over billion dollars now, so I'm pretty sure he can earn it back quickly.

    Vince McMahon isn't worth $1.0 billion anymore. HE is the one that lost the $350 million in a single day, along with another large chunk of money. His net worth is estimated around $750 million. It's not going to impact the company aside from the gigantic slide its stock took a little while back. Analysts expect the company to recover, but they're not sure how quickly WWE can bounce back.

    Well yeah, it's always been scripted, but there is nothing fake about their athleticism.
