-When this show was first announced it looked like one of the most loaded cards in UFC history. The main event was arguably the biggest grudge match in MMA – Jon Jones defending his LHW Title against Daniel Cormier, and the undercard featured Donald Cerrone vs. the debuting Eddie Alvarez,...

-This was the first UFC show in Japan since March 2013’s Fuel one, and while that was probably a more stacked card in terms of names (Wanderlei, Stann, Hunt, Okami, Gomi, Diego, Lombard, etc) this one looked pretty damn good too, especially the main event of Roy Nelson vs. Mark Hunt –...

-The UFC’s third Brazil show of 2014, this one had a pretty odd main event in the form of Bigfoot Silva vs. Andrei Arlovski. Firstly it was a rematch from a rather underwhelming 2010 StrikeForce fight, but more to the point – Arlovski in a UFC main event in 2014, especially after that...

-Massively stacked card here which was somewhat frustrating given how weak UFC 177’s PPV card had been one week earlier. Of course, the Curse of 2014 still had to step up – Charles Oliveira vs. Nik Lentz, one of the main card bouts, was scrapped due to illness on the day of the event,...

-At this point it feels like a cursed card is like a yearly tradition for the UFC, but this one was extreme by anyone’s standards, as we lost the main event and co-main event from what was a pretty weak card to begin with. Throw in another THREE scrapped fights that caused the whole card to...

December 29th 2014: On this week’s Raw Review Crew… Retirements, kazoos, John, John, John, John, John, John, John, John. It’s the last-ever RRC of 2014 and possibly the last one overall. With a lack of time and motivation to keep writing them, I’m bowing out of doing...

It’s the Happy New Year edition of Raw. Before I begin, make sure you set aside some time to read my 2014 WWE Johnny Awards. It my favorite column of the year and most likely the only wrestling awards that remember that David Otunga still works for WWE. Go read it! Live from Washington,...

-Before a flurry of injuries took out some of the better fighters on this card (Brandon Thatch, Demian Maia, Mirsad Bektic) this arguably looked like the best Fight Night card of 2014 on paper. As it ended up it still wasn’t bad at all, with six mainly intriguing bouts and a major main event...

It’s the Christmas edition of Raw. Before I begin, my apologies for not getting my WWE Johnny Awards done yet. I’m going to push it back to next Monday December 29. I just didn’t have the time to finish it. Normally it’s an 8,000 word column so it takes a while to...

-This was the UFC’s second visit to Macao in 2014 following the TUF China Finale in March, and it must be said that this was a much better card – not only did it have a fun-sounding main event between bitter rivals Michael Bisping and Cung Le (you could say bitter rivals about practically...

December 15th 2014: On this week’s Raw Review Crew… Raw Is Jericho, a demon beats a bunny and the champ is here. Welcome to this week’s RRC, a place where we routinely point out how awful Raw is, while occasionally finding something to praise. This week, I opted to watch...
