Equipment Crew- Part III

[Cleveland33]

RIP to one of my childhood favorites. The long running internet rumors are finally true.



Extremely odd timing - he finally buried the hatchet with McMahon and was inducted to the WWE HoF this weekend and his speech on Monday Night Raw included the following passage:

"Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breath their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized."

[Northernmoris]

^ Beat me to it.

[SkinnySquats]

Mutassan is probably drowning in tears right now.

[RemainDieHard]

I like to watch CT Fletcher, he is so charismatic and entertaining LOL...

GROW MUTHAF@#$%!!! lol

Is that a PVC conduit for your electrical? I'd have suggested that it be metal. They way it is it looks like it will eventually get stepped on by accident and broken. Although in your region it probably won't get sun rotted and brittle like it would here after 1 summer.

Thinking about stocking up on protein today with the 15% off. Anyone have a current 10% coupon that can be stacked with the sale?

Hello old friends. I hope everyone is doing good.
I've been really busy with work, 2 kids, and mma training. Still doing some lifting though.
First smoker fight is April 19, so the focus right now is that. Hoping to hit the weights pretty hard for 2 months following that.

hey look at this guy^

any chance your fight will be online anywhere?

No, its no big deal, wont be online or anything. Its just a smoker fight, after all. The fights are part of an event called the "Fight for Freedom Festival" here in Evans, Georgia. Its going to have music, vendors, the smoker fights and a Congressman is supposed to make an appearance/speak. I have previously sparred the guy that is my opponent, and he is 10 years younger than me, more polished, more flexible, has better kicks, and is faster. So, it could be a tough few rounds. That said, when we sparred last time, he said I was killing him with my 2 (right cross) and had a lot of power. So, I may have the edge there.

[AttyGuy]

Good luck, brother.

I don't care, I'd still watch it. What is a smoker fight anyway?

Also - the last time you sparred him, did he know you were his opponent? If he did, he might have been psyching you out with that right cross talk. If not, then unload on him.

Amateur fights with lightly modified rules designed to get fighters experience in the ring. Usually headgear and shin guards required, often no knees to the head as well.

Smoker fight is just an amateur fight with full gear, like cmarti said.
My opponent goes to the school that I used to train at, and the instructor (still a close friend) always invites me to come spar with them on Saturdays. I am rarely able to, with the kids on the weekends and all. However, I have done it twice. The first time, I sparred this guy (opponent) and one other guy. We just discussed it afterwards, like anyone would do.
I don't think he was faking the right cross talk, because he apparently told the instructor the same thing. And the right was probably what I landed the most on him.

^ Exactly. Often smoker fights are between guys that train at the same gym, but sometimes it is open to other schools as well.
My gym is the home for Team USA kickboxing, so the owner/coach likes to give his guys experience fighting in front of people and uses this pretty often as the main method.

I guess you couldn't ask for a better farewell speech.

[Keetman]

No, that was amazing considering his fate.

I have never been a big pro wrestling fan, but my children have taken to watching it over the last year or so. While I still maintain its simply a soap opera, I definitely believe the guys are talented in their own special way. Regardless of their talent or the theatrics of their entertainment, there is no denying the love that they are afforded by the many millions of fans that are out there.

The man was a great entertainer and went out with a tribute to his fans and in a way that respects his legacy.

During what turned out to be his final appearance on Raw, Warrior gave a speech to the fans and wrestlers past and present as his Ultimate Warrior character. During the speech he said:

No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized. By the story tellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever. You, you, you, you, you, you are the legend makers of Ultimate Warrior. In the back I see many potential legends. Some of them with warrior spirits. And you will do the same for them. You will decide if they lived with the passion and intensity. So much so that you will tell your stories and you will make them legends, as well. I am Ultimate Warrior. You are the Ultimate Warrior fans. And the spirit of the Ultimate Warrior will run forever!
—The Ultimate Warrior

He died less than a day later.

And a very comprehensive list it is too! Even the tri-fold paper towel dispenser, eight foot folding table, and fire extinguishers (2) are listed in the inventory!

Anyone know what the "pl" and "ss" designations mean in the equipment list (near the top)?

Oh, here's a direct link to the pdf file: http://www.ultimatewarrior.com/Media/PDFs/List.pdf

Ah! Maybe ss means "selectorized stack" ??

Thanks!

I'm not sure how to interpret this guy. Is this a parody? Is the guy full potato?

I took a look, but I don't know what to think either.

[ExtremistPullup]

While in Las Vegas I went to L'Oracle and tried Corde Lisse for the first time. i have a manila rope in my garage but this smooth rope is much better. They are expensive though.
