Vince McMahon turned 63 on Sunday….
It is fair to say that Vince dictates an entire sport (or entertainment industry to be exact) with his ideas, investments, booking, and directions of his company. This one man could change the entire face of an industry with an idea he wakes up tomorrow morning. How many people can …
At least for this week….the ECW “Three Way Dance” comes to MMA:
In the never-ending quest to push the envelope in the sport of mixed martial arts, a pair of Virginia men think they’ve found the next big thing.
It is called San Do, a Japanese discipline in which three fighters compete in the ring at the …
Which would mean that he’ll be fighting at UFC 91 here in Portland….no opponent named yet, but Cheick Kongo’s name has been tossed around.

There’s at least three members of the SAVSCI staff–myself included–who owe their interest in fightsports at least in part to the late, great wrestling manager “Playboy” Gary Hart. A lot of us who came up during the “territory” era of pro wrestling got their first taste of in-ring action by stumbling across our local …
If you’ve ever made the mistake of checking out the local TV networks in the afternoon you already know about the infestation of “judge” shows.

Those of us with triple digit IQs enjoy this blog almost as much as the knuckle draggers of the world enjoy the “Hometown Honeys” section in …
We got into the female wrestling promotion Shimmer since a number of us here at SavSci have a crush on MsChif, one of their competitors. Probably because we’ve always dreamed of meeting a woman who blows green mist a la The Great Muta. We were expecting some glorified T&A show like the WWE …
Here’s a cool video highlight montage of Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger. Liger may no longer be the state of the art in high flying wrestlers but he was a pioneer that the men who followed him such as El Blazer owe a debt to. Liger has always been very good at ‘working’ a match …
We’re trying to track down some more photos and video of the IGF show from last night (Tokyo time). In particular, we want to get some footage of Josh Barnett and Bobby Lashley’s matches. Here’s something to tide you over until we do. This is an IGF commercial from a year or …
