Overview

Great WIN for Francis the Hardest hitter since Brock or Cain, and Fedor. That spinning elbom out of the clinch in the 3rd round was very impressive. Have you watched this fight yet?

The hype is understandable, but it comes down to whether the representatives for both athletes want to make this happen. It would be great to see these two fight. Who do you think would bring the superior pure wrestling pedigree to the ring?

Well, I believe that this fight could happen if there is enough goodwill from both teams. It would be a fight of the decade, indeed. Who do you reckon could win this?

I think it will happen. Money talks and the Covid has taken a bite out of wrestling like it has any other sport. Too many people want the money for it not to happen.

I think it could happen if both of them want it to, and what a match that would be! Would Brock be willing to go back to UFC? Well, it is a possibility, yet its also too early to tell. White is right, but I also think he needs to play his part if these two are to fight it out.

I don't care either way. Sorry, but they've both been caught with performance-enhancing substances in their system and in my opinion, they're cheaters, not athletes. Lesnar would be a fool to go for it though. Has he even been training for a real fight? I doubt it.

I haven't been watching WWE much for close to a year now, so I'm out of the loop. Did Lesnar sign a new contract with the WWE? Maybe the possibility of his return to the UFC is being floated around as a tool to secure a more favorable contract during negotiations. I know that Lesnar has done something like that in the past. But yeah, I'd like to see those two face each other in the octagon.

Every few years the rumors start churning as fans salivate over a possible UFC match between Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones. Dana White says he'll support it if Lesnar and Jones want to fight each other. I can't say that I blame White since it's certain to be ratings gold. But do you think both parties will agree? I think Lesnar and Jones might agree on the surface to a fight, but I doubt the match will ever happen. It's just part of the hype machine. What about you? Do you think 2020 or 2021 is when we'll finally see the Beast Incarnate take on Bones?

If this bout ever takes place, whoever knocks the other out (pun intended) will have full bragging rights. It will be a fight decided, not by physical might, but by skill, tact, and psychological strength. Fury still has to fight Deontay Wilder, right?

Both of them are great boxers, but I think Anthony Joshua would win this bout. AJ is yet to respond to Fury, and boxing enthusiasts will want to see this fight happening.

When asked about a potential fight with the WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion, he told ESPN: "One hundred percent Joshua's not dangerous, at all, he's like a big cuddly baby." The psychological games have begun in earnest. Would a unification bout between the pair be a fight of the century?

WOW...talk about a blast from the past! :eek: Hope you are keeping well! I remember catching some of WCW which I think used to air late night on ITV. Once Nitro got going they aired it on TNT over here, so I watched that every week. I never watched any of the PPVs though as they never showed them over here. I've got the WWE Network but I've never really felt like watching the PPVs now, I think I'll find it pretty depressing compared to these days.

1998 WCW... started at Crockett ages ago and am now (literally right now) watching Souled Out 98. Not seen much WCW past 97 so I’m finding this stuff pretty interesting. Having always been a WWF guy I just had no time for WCW by the time I was old enough to go out drinking and partaking in other adult activities. I’ve obviously read the horror stories, but excluding the excruciating disaster of Hogan/Sting there is some really good stuff here, I mean if you compare all of it to the current WWE then it’s ALL award worthy stuff... although I’ve not watched WWE for a few years I still read about it (I know, right?) and I just can’t... Getting back on track, this Sould Out Show is ok... not got to Bret/Flair yet (which is what I’m looking forward too) but the Rick Martel revival.... hot dang! I’ve just seen Nash kill the Big Show! I’ve only ever heard about it but damn. Anyhoo, the Model is great. Dusty Rhodes however... that no good turncoat f**k! Still not quite understood why Hall had Rad Radfod in his corner, however. Flair’s now walking that aisle... shame he doesn’t have the 92 WWF intro music because that’s the only Flair music that counts. Speaking of intro music, Bret Hart’s WCW theme is horrifying. Poor Bret, his life is catastrophic post screw job. I believe the only Bret WCW match I’ve seen is the Benoit one done in tribute to Owen. Bret’s really good here plus he has black wrist tape which is, for some reason, noticeable. Ric Flair is Flair before WCW took his soul and he’s great... “Ahhhh god! Ahhh ouch! Ahhhh my leg!” This is a good match, it’s taking me an age to write this because I keep having to stop to watch it... I wish wrestling was even half as good nowadays *sigh*... A clean finish submission win for the Hitman! Fancy that!? Flair really is the greatest of all time laying down for the only wrestler that’s had more sex than him! It was the right move and I’m hella excited for the Nitro follow up... is there is one. Savage/Luger main event. Man, watching all the 97 Nitro’s has really made me a fan of Flexy Lexy. I know it’s proper weird that I’d get behind a guy that comes out every week and wins matches but I’m lying and it’s not weird... people who win make me care. Also WCW Miss Elizabeth is ridiculously attractive. It’s a real shame what happened to this trio... Luger wins with the Torture rack... wrack... back breaker. I’m horrified that I know the nWo split into two groups and mortified that Sting becomes nWo... and I guess it’s 98 that it happens, but I’m gonna stick with it. It’s taken about 4 years for me to get this far and I’m not giving up!

I stopped buying the WWE games a few years back, just for that reason. It does not surprise me that they are releasing every couple of years.

@Poppy, I liked it, but I'm into MMA, boxing, and reality television, so it was the perfect match in my book. I adore his wife Paris who is as outrageous as he is.

I'm pretty surprised by the announcement too, @Knox. I thought WWE 2K21 was already in the works. What bugged me about WWE 2K20 was that they got rid of so many options that I loved in previous versions. Every release has been full of glitches though.

I'm coming back to ask whether Tyson Fury's reality mini-series is any good. I believe it's called Gypsy King. It delves into his career and big comeback. Has anyone seen it?

With the last two versions it seemed like the developers were rushed to get them out, which is why they were so buggy. The lag while playing online was just terrible. I'm sure there'll be other WWE centric games in the future, but they're smart to slow down the number of releases.

Fury has won some impressive titles, just needs to medal at the Olympics, which is up in the air thanks to the coronavirus. Muhammad Ali was nominated for two Grammys, but I don't think he won. Maybe Fury could tie that honor with some sort of nomination for his reality programme.

I finally played WWE 2K20 which was enjoyable, but a bit underwhelming. I waited so long in hopes that they'd fix the glitches so maybe that's why I found it underwhelming. I built it up in my head. What did you think of the game? There's usually a new release of the WWE's gaming franchise every year, but it looks like there won't be one coming up in 2021. That's pretty surprising. Do you think the franchise is done for good?

Back in November 2015, Tyson Fury dethroned Wladimir Klitschko then started battling substance abuse and depression shortly after. He was able to bounce back and dethrone Deontay Wilder to claim the WBC Heavyweight title. Perhaps his willingness to discuss the mental health issues led to the comparison to the late Muhammad Ali, who openly talked about racial injustice.

These types of comparisons are hardly fair. I noticed that Fury's achievements are only said to equal Muhammad Ali's, not surpass them. That's because it's impossible to eclipse a legend, even if it's only nostalgia that makes it so.

The big thing going around right now is about Tyson Fury's career and how his achievements are equal to the achievements of Muhammad Ali. Do you agree? I think Fury is amazing in the ring, but no one will ever come close to Muhammad Ali's legacy.

Tyson is always the underdog. I think we tend to judge boxers by their personalities outside of the ring. I am hoping that it doesn't end in a KO!

I'm going to wait until most of the predictions are in and then go with the underdog at that point. Tyson will be the underdog before the fight. That's my prediction.
