The True Downfall of Michael Waltrip Racing

This past week Michael Waltrip Racing announced that it will no longer have a full time race team after the 2015 NASCAR season. They have stated financial hardships and lack of success as the reason for closing their doors. Robert Kauffman boiught into the team in 2007 when it was in danger of closing. They did so well at one point they had three drivers and at the time they were Clint Bowyer, Brian Vickers and Martin Truex Jr. All three drivers had very good sponsors at the time. Bowyer with Five Hour Energy, Vickers with Aaron's and Truex Jr. with NAPA. In 2013, all of Michael Waltrip was competing and they would have been fine if it weren't for one night and one act that changed the course of everything.

Martin Truex Jr. was on the bubble to make the Chase for the Cup going into the last race before the cut off at Richmond. It was a tight points battle to make the 12th and final spot in the chase. With not so many laps remaining in the race Clint Bowyer spun out and Brian Vickers was told to pit by his crew chief. I truly believe Truex's team had no idea what was going on and that Vickers really had no idea what was going on either. These actions led to Michael Waltrip Racing releasing Martin Truex Jr, being fined three hundred thousand dollars and lost NAPA as a sponsor. Since these actions Michael Waltrip has not won a race and NAPA sponsors a great and an upcoming driver by the name of Chase Elliott.

There's an old saying what comes around goes around. Also people believe in karma and I think karma caught up with Michael Waltrip Racing. I personally think NAPA was a huge reason that the team stayed afloat. They are a huge sponsor that probably put a lot on money on the line to be on the hood of what use to be Martin Truex Jr's number 56. Cheating is never a good thing in sports and it's pretty stupid to try and attempt to cheat in NASCAR. They go through inspections every week, their radio communications can be tapped into if need be and their are multiple angles to use in replays. I think NASCAR wanted to send a message that cheating will not be tolerated. 

Michael Waltrip struggled so much in his career until the late Dale Earnhardt Sr gave him a shot and he won a handful races when he was apart of what was known as Dale Earnhardt Inc. I hate to say it but Michael's run as an owner was much like his run as a driver and that's mediocre. He was never the driver that his brother was and he couldn't live up to the pressure. Michael is awesome as a analyst and makes NASCAR on FOX very enjoyable but his time being an owner and driver didn't live up to expectations. I believe Michael Waltrip Racing would have been successful for many more years if it weren't for those actions in 2013 that altered the Chase for the Cup. At the end of the 2015 season both David Ragan and Clint Bowyer will have to find rides and start a new chapter in their careers. As this door closes hopefully a brand new one will open for a new owner that can compete and play be the rules. Until then we will have to watch and see how the careers of Bowyer and Ragan will be effected.

Results, Review, Recap of WWE Summerslam 2015

This weekend was a huge weekend for the WWE. They had NXT on Saturday Night, they have Monday Night Raw tomorrow and tonight they had WWE Summerslam. One thing that is really awesome is that all three events are in the same arena. Going into Summerslam they had to follow a great NXT Takeover show. Could it be done? Well before I begin here are the results of Summerslam:

-Sheamus defeated Randy Orton
-The New Day defeated Prime Time Players, Lucha Dragons, and Los Matadores to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions
-Rusev and Dolph Ziggler ended in a double count out
-Stephen Amell and Neville defeated Stardust and King Barrett
-Ryback defeated Big Show and The Miz to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship
-Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeated Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper
-Seth Rollins defeated John Cena to retain the World Heavyweight Championship and win the United States Championship
-Team P.C.B. defeated Team B.A.D. and Team Bella
-Kevin Owens defeated Cesaro

I didn't have a lot of disappointments but I felt Stephen Amell should have gotten the pin on Stardust because it was a one time deal. I have to give props to Cody Rhodes for not backing out on this character after Dusty passed away. He told wrote in his eulogy to his dad that he was going to finish what he started and I think this is what he meant. Where Cody goes from here remains to be seen but he still has one great career ahead of him. I hate to say it but I was not impressed the Intercontinental Title match at all. The Intercontinental Title match is suppose to be a wrestling classic and that was far from a classic. The Intercontinental Championship is a complete joke right now and this match really proved it. I am all about the Divas Revolution but Team Bella should have been eliminated first, not Team B.A.D. This revolution was about Team B.A.D. and Team PCB, not the Bella Twins. The only satisfaction is that Team PCB won the match.

I really wish Cesaro and Owens would have gotten more time. I also feel like the creative and booking team really don't know what to do with either guy. I truly believe Owens should have won the United States Title when he was feuding with Cena and Cesaro should be competing for the World Title or Intercontinental Title. I really hope these two get more opportunities in the future. I am also glad Triple H protected Owens because two loses back to back on a big weekend would have just about killed any momentum Owens has had since being moved up to the main roster.

I loved the opening match because it was physical and even had a little bloodshed. Sheamus needed that win for momentum as the Money in the Bank Briefcase holder. The tag team title match was all over the place and had some scary moments. In the end The New Day used some sneaky tactics with some cheap heat and got back their tag team championships. I really would like to see The Ascension get in the mix for the tag team titles. They are a great tag team and probably the most underused tag team in the division right now.  Speaking of tag team matches I really thought the Wyatt Family and The Shield had a great match. A lot of action and craziness going on in one match. It was great to see Roman and Ambrose get the victory despite the stupid fans reaction to Reigns.

The WWE Championship match is exactly what it is suppose to be and that's an epic classic. Seth Rollins brought his A game and proved he is main event material. This match had a great story, and some really great action. I had a feeling something was going to happen in the match but I did not think for one second that Jon Stewart would cost John Cena that match. What a great swerve by the WWE to shut the fans up. Seth Rollins now holds the World Heavyweight Championship and the United States Championship. The only negative side to this is that the angle was already done in Ring of Honor by Jay Lethal who holds the ROH World and TV Titles. Other than that a classic match that will definitely be talked about for a long time.

The Main Event was the match too big for Wrestlemania. The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar fought each other tooth and nail in the beginning. Lesnar didn't even wait for Taker to finish his entrance. This match was not one sided like I thought it would be. Lesnar started bleeding which made for even more of an epic encounter. There was so much trash talk, so much brutality and so much intensity in this match but the ending absolutely sucked. They showed the replay which makes for more controversy. The Undertaker tapped out but the referee didn't see so the match did continue and ended up leading to an Undertaker victory. I really don't know what to think about this match now or it's ending.

Summerslam definitely lived up to most of the hype and needed to after what NXT did the night before. The crowd was red hot for the entire night. If the crowd is hot, the show is usually good. The show from start until the finish was really good. I didn't mind Stewart's involvement but the way The Undertaker won his match was handled really badly. I think he should have cleanly without controversy. Because of the ending and a few other booking decisions I will give Summerslam 7.5 out of 10. I would have given it more if it weren't for the ending. The ending to the main event tanked the show a little bit. With that being said WWE did bring the heat in the hottest show of the Summer and hopefully NXT and the main roster of WWE will continue to put on good shows. Night of Champions is right around the corner and I will be curious to see how title pictures shape up. Until then Summerslam is in the books and we build towards the next big pay-per-view in Survivor Series.

Results, Review, Recap of WWE Takeover: Brooklyn

Summerslam weekend is always a huge deal but it got bigger with NXT Takeover Brooklyn. This is the first time that NXT has been paired with a big WWE pay per view. Before I begin my candid thoughts here are the results of Takeover:

-Jushin "Thunder" Liger defeated Tyler Breeze
-The Vaudevillians defeated Blake and Murphy to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions
-Apollo Crews defeated Tye Dillinger
-Samoa Joe defeated Baron Corbin
-Bayley defeated Sasha Banks to became the new NXT Women's Champion.
-Finn Balor defeated Kevin Owens in a Ladder Match to retain the NXT Champion

As much as I respect Liger I don't understand putting him over on Breeze unless their is a rematch. Breeze does deserve a spot on the main roster and feel he would do well there. He's been in FCW/NXT for a long time now so how much longer does he really until he makes it to the main roster or call it a career? This is really the only complaint I have with the show. There were a lot of positives on this show.

I am so happy The Vaudevillians finally got what they rightfully deserved. They have been on the tag team scene in NXT for awhile now. I also enjoyed the debut of Apollo Creeds(formerly Uhaa Nation). This guy is a heavyweight who moves like a Cruiserweight. All I have to say is it's about time that Baron Corbin got a great match that lasted more then a minute. Samoa Joe really brought the best out in Corbin. Corbin needed a match like this to prove he can hang with the best.

The NXT Women's Title match was absolutely insane. Sasha Banks and Bayley tore the house down. I couldn't believe how physical this match got. It was back and forth the whole match. There was great chemistry, a great story and it helped that the crowd was very into the match. Then the Ladder Match for the NXT Title had to follow that classic. The Ladder match had a slow start but it got intense really quick. For never being in a Ladder Match Finn Balor performed well against a Ladder Match veteran in Kevin Owens. There were some crazy moments in this match and I am sure both men will be feeling the effects for awhile.

I really hope Vince McMahon and his crew bring their A game to Summerslam because NXT set the bar to begin the weekend. NXT was on fire tonight and the crowd gave them the fuel for that fire. This is why I love wrestling and this is why I love NXT. They leave it all in the ring and they give their absolute best. There won't be any sleep in Brooklyn tonight!

WWE Summerslam 2015 Preview and Predictions

On August 23rd 2015, WWE will present the 27th annual Summerslam. This is the first time Summerslam has not been in Los Angeles in quite awhile. This will also be the first time in Summerslam history that it will be a four hour event. This looks like an incredible card from top to bottom and I think a lot of history could be made. Here is Summerslam:

Championship vs. Championship Winner Take All: United States Champion John Cena vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins

It's been a long time since we have had a title match in the WWE and the last time it was this heavily build was Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania 6. I have very mixed feelings about this. One side tells me that Seth Rollins has gotten stale as WWE Champion and that his championship matches don't have the epic feel that they should have. The other side of me says that I don't want to see John Cena tie Ric Flair's record of being a sixteen time World Champion. I have this gut feeling that both men will keep their titles but I am not sure how it will play out. Either way I feel both championships will remain with each person. 

Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker

This match is sixteen months in the making and is being dubbed the match too big for Wrestlemania. Everyone knows the result at Wrestlemania 30 but some people might not know that The Undertaker has never defeated Brock Lesnar on a pay-per-view. I really truly believe that The Undertaker needs to win this match. I have a feeling the fans will go absolutely chaotic if Undertaker loses to Lesnar again. There was a lot of backlash win the streak was broken and I am quite sure the WWE doesn't want that kind of backlash again. Look for Lesnar to have a strong showing but The Undertaker will win

Bray Wyatt/Luke Harper vs. Roman Reigns/Dean Ambrose

I loved when the Wyatt Family and The Shield had their war a year and a half ago. It was epic, it was chaotic and it was intense. Even though you don't have Seth Rollins and Erick Rowan in this battle it will be another chapter in the storied careers of The Wyatt Family and The Shield. Roman Reigns has not had any momentum since Wrestlemania 31. I truly believe Reigns not winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title set his career about five steps back. All four of these men could be World Title contenders but their in that phase where the booking and creative teams don't know what to do with them. I believe that Reigns and Ambrose will win in what will be an epic tag team match.

Randy Orton vs. Sheamus

Something in my head tells me we are going to have another Wrestlemania moment where Orton defeats the Money in the Bank Briefcase holder and then later on they cash in on the championship. The Orton and Sheamus rivalry has been interesting to watch and I am sure if Sheamus wins the championship the rivalry won't be over. All I got to say is look for an RKO out of nowhere.

Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro

This match will personally be my favorite match of the night. I love all the guys that come from Ring of Honor and I believe this match could steal the show. I believe Cesaro has a lot of momentum from the fans right now and could be the next Daniel Bryan for the WWE Universe. The thing that worries about me about this match is that having Kevin Owens lose two big nights in a row could set him back more then he already is. If he does lose both at NXT Takeover and Summerslam it better be in really convincing fashion. I look for Cesaro to win and continue his grip on the brass ring that Vince McMahon said he couldn't reach.

Triple Threat Intercontinental Championship Match: Ryback(c) vs. Big Show vs. The Miz

Let's be real. The Big Show is over the hill, The Miz is irrelevant and Ryback does not fit the image of an Intercontinental Champion. I honestly have no interest in this match and maybe that sounds bad but think about the Intercontinental Championship at Summerslam. Hart vs. Perfect, Hart vs. Bulldog, Razor vs. Shawn 2,  and The Rock vs. Triple H, This match will not even come close to the legendary status of what those title matches were. I respect what all three men bring to the WWE but I am not a fan of this match. Ryback wins because it's the only thing that makes sense. 

Stephen Amell/Neville vs. Stardust/King Barrett

The one thing I love about the Neville and Stardust feud is that they have added the comic book element into it. Neville is just an amazing performer without any extra added elements. As far as Amell goes I am usually not a fan of putting outsiders in the ring but Amell has some agility and I think he will surprise a lot of people with how good he could be. He's had a lot of roles in TV and is starting to become a prominent figure in movies. I think Amell and Neville will get the win and I don't think this will be the last time you see Stephen Amell in the ring.

Fatal Four Way WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Prime Time Players(c) vs. Los Matadores vs. The New Day vs. Lucha Dragons 

The tag team division has had more depth in recent years but they are not featured as heavily as they should be. I really feel the best tag teams in WWE aren't even featured on the main roster yet. I think Enzo/Cass, Blake/Murphy, The Vaudevillians,  The Hype Bros and Dash Wilder/Scott Dawson are all great teams that could make the division so much better then it already is. Let's not forget whoever the tag team champions are when the Uso's are back together will have a new challenge on their hands. I don't have a personal favorite in this match but I would love to see a potential Lucha Dragons title run that eventually see them on a collision course with The Uso's. 

Triple Threat Elimination Tag Team Match: Team Bella(Nikki/Brie/Alicia Fox) vs. Team PCB(Paige/Charlotte/Becky Lynch) vs. Team B.A.D.(Naomi/Tamina Snuka/Sasha Banks)

Usually I would not give a Divas match a second thought and would completely dismiss it but the Divas Revolution has been awesome to watch so far. All nine of these Divas bring something different to the ring and it makes for some interesting matches. I am not sure who exactly will win this match but whoever does win this match will have major momentum on their side. I think this will be a great showcase of the Divas division. If I had to pick a winning team I am going to go with Team PCB. 

This years Summerslam will be off the chain. They will have an incredible card, ESPN will be covering Summerslam live on Sportscenter and Jon Stewart from The Daily Show will be hosting this years Summerslam. Look for a lot of great action and I would expect a few surprises a long the way. The summer is hot but it's going to get hotter with the second biggest show of the year. 

Gearing Up for the Return of Jeff Gordon's Rainbow Warrior Car

If I were you tell you that I was a diehard Jeff Gordon fan growing up I'd be lying through my teeth. If you were to ask me if I respect Jeff Gordon's legacy and what he's done in the sport of NASCAR I would say yes. Jeff Gordon's started in he NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 1992. Ironically enough Gordon's first race was Richard Petty's last race. In the last 23 years he has won four championships, ninety two wins, and eighty poles. He's also won three Daytona 500's and five Brickyard 500's. Some might say he was the most dominant driver of the 90's and early 2000's. 

At the height of Gordon's career and his accomplishments he stood out because of his skill and the color scheme of his car. For a big portion of Gordon's career he was sponsored by DuPont and had the colors of the rainbow is paint scheme. Gordon's team and crew were dubbed the "Rainbow Warriors." The people who love Gordon stood by these colors all the way and those who hated Gordon found every way to pick on the team. Jeff Gordon rivaled the late Dale Earnhardt and won most of his races in these colors. When you think Jeff Gordon, most people think the Rainbow Warrior car. 

On August 22nd 2015, when NASCAR goes under the bright lights of Bristol Motor Speedway Jeff Gordon will run with the iconic and legendary paint scheme one last time. Gordon has struggled this year but hopefully driving this car will snap him out of it. As I said before, I am not a diehard Gordon fan but I am a fan of nostalgic acts and it doesn't get anymore nostalgia then Jeff Gordon's Rainbow Warrior Car. I personally will be rooting for Gordon to win this race. He deserves to have one big highlight in his last year and this would be one for sure. 

Jeff Gordon will retire at the end of this year at 44 years old. He will be joining NASCAR on FOX in 2016 as a broadcaster. Whether or not you like or dislike Jeff Gordon you can't deny how much he has brought to the sport of NASCAR. He will go down as one of the all time greats in the sport. Even though his career is coming to an end I will enjoy and live in the moment of the return of the Rainbow Warrior. 

NXT Takeover: Brooklyn Preview and Predictions

The night before Summerslam NXT will make his presence felt in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center. Brooklyn is well known for having crazy wrestling fans that will be very vocal if they don't like what they see. It should also be noted that NXT will be competing with Ring of Honor who is running right down the road from them on the same night. This is card ROH will be putting out that night

-Mark & Jay Briscoe vs the Time Splitters (Alex Shelley & Kushida)
-ROH World & World TV Champion Jay Lethal & "King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura vs reDRagon
-IWGP Heavyweight Champion, "Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada vs "Mr ROH" Roderick Strong
-Tag Team Rematch: GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr & Lance Archer) vs War Machine (Hanson & Rowe)
-Non Title Match: IWGP Intercontinental Champion Hirooki Goto vs "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin
-Adam Cole vs ROH World Tag Team Champion "Almighty" Christopher Daniels
-8 Man Tag Team Match: The Young Bucks, Matt Sydal & ACH vs The Kingdom w/ Maria Kanellis & RPG Vice
That's a pretty impressive card but NXT is going to bring their A game and their lineup looks pretty impressive. Here is what you will see at NXT Take Over Brooklyn:

NXT Championship: Finn Balor(c) vs. Kevin Owens

I love that Finn Balor got his moment in Tokyo Japan and that he's definitely a big part of the future in WWE. I originally thought when Owens dropped the title he would be moved on to greener pastures but since his first win against John Cena his momentum completely crashed. I have no doubt Balor will return his title but Owens needs a very strong performance to regain some of his momentum. The last time I saw Kevin Owens in a Ladder Match was against El Generico(Sami Zayn) in Generico's last match in Ring of Honor and we know what happened there. With ROH, NXT, and Summerslam all within 24 hours of each other this will be the match people talk about the most. 

NXT Women's Championship:  Sasha Banks(c) vs. Bayley 

There is no doubt in my mind that this will be just as good as any of the other women's matches that NXT has produced in the past. I think it's time for Bayley to shine and hold the gold. Sasha Banks is now apart of the Divas Revolution on the main roster. I think right now Bayley is the best long term solution to be Women's Champion. Sasha, Charlotte and Becky Lynch were the biggest part of the NXT Women's Division and now Bayley has a chance to take on that roll. I see Bayley hugging that title all the way out of Brooklyn.

NXT Tag Team Championship: Blake and Murphy(c)  vs. VaudeVillians

The VaudeVillians have been passed over for The Ascension, Lucha Dragons, and now Blake and Murphy. I believe that Simon Gotch and Aiden English have one of the best gimmicks around and they are both extremely talented in the ring. Brooklyn is going to give these two old school style characters a great reaction. The Vaudevillians say they have a surprise to contain Alexa Bliss and I think this will be a huge factor in the outcome of this match. I say the Vaudevillians walk out with the gold and re-ignite the tag team division in NXT. 

Jushin "Thunder" Liger vs. Tyler Breeze
This was a direct shot at Ring of Honor and trying to compete with them. A lot of heat was on New Japan for allowing Liger to appear on a WWE show considering ROH and New Japan have an agreement to share talent. Win or lose this match will put Tyler Breeze on the map and maybe give him the push towards the main roster. I think Breeze will bring everything he has to the match but I don't see Liger losing in his WWE debut.

Samoa Joe vs. Baron Corbin

When Baron Corbin started his reign of terror began I thought it was really cool. In these last few months I am just not intrigued or interested in Corbin because we really haven't seen what he's made of. I really think this is a must win for both guys because Corbin needs to show he can go and Samoa Joe really needs to get the momentum going in his WWE career. I really feel Joe's first few months in NXT have been a letdown. He deserves so much more and can produce so much more if he's given the chance.  I think Corbin will show more in this match but Samoa Joe will walk a way the winner because that's best for business.

The former Uhaa Nation makes his debut and it will be his taste of a big crowd in WWE. I think this will this will truly prove if this guy can live up to the hype that has surrounded him. I for one cannot wait.

This will be truly a monumental weekend in pro wrestling as a whole but it's also a chance for WWE to really put the boots to ROH and anyone else who thinks they have a great wrestling product. On August 22nd there will definitely be no sleep for Brooklyn.

Advice for Ronda Rousey Opponents: Shut Up and Focus on Training

When Ronda Rousey first entered the world of MMA I was very skeptical because of all of the hype surrounding her. The only woman prior to Rousey that I took seriously was Gina Carano. Rousey kept getting win after win and did it in very convincing fashion. At UFC 190, she totally embarrassed Bethe Correia in 34 seconds. This was after Correia talked so much trash about Rousey and her family. Why do they always go after her family? It's not her family that they are fighting. Rousey's dad did commit suicide when she was just a girl but do you think bring that up really does anyone any favors or gives them a psychological advantage? It probably does that exact opposite. It is probably the fuel that fires up Rousey to kick the crap out of her opponents. The evidence is very clear throughout Ronda's career.

Rousey is undefeated in MMA and until she is defeated what can really anyone say about her. She's cocky, confident, and cool but she can back it up. I can't remember a fight that Rousey has had where her opponent hasn't attacked her family in some way, shape or form. If I was training a fighter that was scheduled to go against Rousey I would tell them to keep their mouth shut and focus on training for the fight. Words aren't going to beat Ronda Rousey. Only a submission or knockout will beat Ronda Rousey. She's taking down Corriea, Carmouche, Tate, Davis, Kaufman, and Zingano. There is one woman that she hasn't faced and that is the very outspoken "Cyborg" Cristiane Justino. Cyborg claims she will retire Rousey like she did Carano and be the one to embarrass Rousey. I've heard that so many times and not one person has even come close to embarrassing her. 

Fellow female fighters aren't the only ones who have been talking trash about Rousey. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Ronda Rousey have been verbally jabbing at each other for awhile now. Mayweather has bragged about making millions in 36 minutes while the UFC responded with the fact that it only takes Rousey less then a minute to get her job done. Floyd Mayweather is a great boxer but he in no way would ever last in an octagon. In my opinion he's no better then her opponents who talk all their trash. I really hope fellow female MMA fighters in the future will just shut up before the fight and focus on their training camps. Maybe if they do that, they might make it past the first round. Amanda Nunes said it best after she defeated Sara McMann, She will not trash talk her way into a title shot. She will do her talking in the octagon. I think every female fighter should have that approach against Rousey. Focus on your training, enhancing your skills and study how to beat your opponent. Right now Rousey is on top and dominating the MMA scene. I don't see her being knocked down from that spot anytime soon. 

Dana White Opens the Floodgates with Fake WWE Comments

I have always been both a WWE fan and a UFC fan. I think both companies and industries are unique forms of entertainment that require a lot of athleticism. Late last week UFC President Dana White called WWE fake and has been critical of the WWE Network since it inception. Not only has Dana upset the WWE fans but some of the biggest names in the industry. Their are guys like Mick Foley, Sheamus, Seth Rollins, Bubba Ray Dudley, Austin Aries and many others. 

The timing of these comments was not very good at all because former UFC fighter Wanderlei Silva says he has proof that UFC fights have been fixed in the past. It also is funny to me that he'd make such comments consider that the biggest draw the UFC ever had was WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar who took on the likes of Shane Carwin, Frank Mir and Randy Couture. I still truly believe if Lesnar's diverticulitis wouldn't have been an issue he would still be dominating the Heavyweight Division. If that doesn't top the hypocrisy chain then maybe signing CM Punk who competed in WWE for 10 years before quitting the company. I am a huge Punk fan but he has no MMA record or experience and he was still signed. I wonder if he's told Dana how brutal the WWE schedule really is.

Finally, if Dana White really felt like WWE was "fake" why won't he let Ronda Rousey compete in Wrestlemania 32 next year? It's simple because while it is scripted entertainment the physicality and athleticism is real. I think Dana deep down is scared he's going to lose one of the biggest attractions he's ever had in Rousey. Rousey got a great reaction from the WWE crowd during her appearance at Wrestlemania 31 and the WWE Universe already love her. It terms of Dana knocking the price of the WWE Network, I think 9.99 is a great price and a fair bargain. If Dana White and the UFC ever start their own network and think people are going to pay over 10 dollars a month for a network that doesn't include pay per views he's insane. 

As I said before I am a huge supporter of the UFC and WWE but talking trash about each others product only proves your scared of that product. You don't see Vince McMahon or WWE executives talking trash about the UFC. I personally think the two should work to cross promote and work together on building each others brands bigger and better. Maybe someday that will happen but for now Dana White should choose his words wisely and big smarter battles. He's got enough on his plate as it is with running a major sports organization. Let MMA be MMA, and let pro wrestling be pro wrestling. Both are good forms of sports entertainment.

The Rock and Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania 31

Phil "CM Punk" Brooks at a UFC Press Conference. Punk is currently signed to the UFC.
