The sad ending of Jens Pulver and why pro wrestling has an advantage over MMA. A boring fight. A fight featuring a dude with a skin disease and excitement about next month's mega WEC. We also talk UFC v. Strikeforce and why it's better for Strikeforce to fail. Why James Toney means nothing but who would be the best opponent to fight if it DID mean something. Plus, excitement about Japan. It's MMA. It's fun. You should listen.

No more in-depth Raw and Impact breakdowns as we do that Monday night with Dave, but we will talk about both shows, plus the Smackdown and NXT tapings from Monday night that we attended live.

Plenty to discuss leading into March 8th, so check it out~! Mar 7th, 2010 It's the weekend edition of the Bryan & Vinny Show. You know what we're here to talk about. Everyone does. One of the most god-awful editions of Impact of all time, and seeing as to how it was the go-home show leading into the supposed new Monday Night Wars, historically it might have been the worst. Pure wretched programming. Also, Smackdown, a really fascinating segment with Granny, old-school songs, and more! A fun show as always so check it out~! Mar 6th, 2010
