Mike Tyson is considered one of the most legendary boxers in the history of professional boxing. He was almost infallible during his time as a boxer and it’s not hard to see why. While he was part of WWE programming during the late 90s, he became a major name there too.
The boxer is also a very imposing figure and not many people have the guts to actually make fun of him, especially knowing just how deadly Tyson can truly be.

Asif Akbar’s latest picture, Mojave Diamonds, introduces us to Roy Mason (Donald Cerrone), who always wanted to become an Mma fighter with a track record so smooth that it could strike fear into the hearts of his rivals before they even walked into the octagon. Despite his older brother’s suggestion to join the military and carve out a successful career, Roy decided to tread his own path. He got into Mma, but things didn’t turn out as he had expected, and he was soon forgotten. Joe had warned him about this, but Roy didn’t pay any heed to his words.
Now, he’s forty years old with no stable career or house. However, he does have a trucker’s job and a beautiful blonde as his girlfriend. Roy also takes part in illegal club fighting to keep his love for Mma alive. Unfortunately, he lost one of his fights,...

Joe and his brother Danny are out hunting in the desert when Danny says he wishes their other brother Roy were with them. This sets Joe off on a rant because Roy apparently is a disgrace because he isn’t rich like he is. It seems Roy traded a career in the military for one in Mma only to get injured and now drives a truck.
Roy’s real problem is that he can’t let go of his Mma dreams and still fights in underground tournaments. But when his overconfidence gets him knocked out it costs mob boss Julian a lot of money.
In retaliation he kills Roy’s girlfriend in front of him, “An hour ago you were fucking her brains out. Well I just blew her brains out...

Now, Sonnen didn’t mention how Rousey attacked Lynch first as being a “millennial” who thought she was owed something — which made no sense at all since Lynch had to work for everything and Ronda had her contract […]

The following is an open letter to the WWE and it’s owner, Vince McMahon:
Dear Vince McMahon,
A thought occurred to me while reading some-thing Eric Bischoff said about the brand split. In the wake of the Fox/WWE deal, which sees Smackdown coming to the Fox Network, Bischoff claimed that there might be a feud that could brew between NBC and Fox, especially if the Disney/Fox deal were to happen. Eric’s thought was that Fox might not allow the WWE to share or move Smackdown stars to Raw, with the concern on Murdoch’s part being that “his” wrestlers should not appear on a rival network. Eric makes a good point and it’s one you should heed.
I get why you did the second brand split, as Bonnie Hammer and every-one at the USA Network wanted to give both of its wrestling shows some-thing special,...
