The myth of the unbeatable fighter is just that, a myth. In what will go down as the single most memorable UFC fight in history, Ronda Rousey was not only defeated, but systematically destroyed by a fighter and a coaching staff that had spent years preparing for that night. On 2/28, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey were the two co-headliners on a show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The idea was that Holm, a former world boxing champion, would impressively knock out Raquel Pennington, a .500 level fighter who was known for exchanging blows and not taking her down. Rousey was there to face Cat Zingano, a fight that was supposed to be the hardest one of her career. Holm looked unimpressive, barely squeaking by in a split decision. Rousey beat Zingano with an armbar in 14 seconds.

  • When Did British Wrestling Get So Big? Ben Carass
    Cubed Circle Newsletter – Best of 2015 Issue With the 2015 Cubed Circle Yearbook and end of the year fast approaching, we have decided to put together a Cubed Circle Recap issue this week, encapsulating some of the best content the newsletter had to offer in 2015 ahead of our biggest issue of the year coming up in less than two weeks. This special issue will be released alongside the new, and hopefully improved, cubedcirclewrestling.com. The site has been made dramatically easier to navigate, and the content is far more organised, which should make for a better user experience. The site logo has also changed, as visitors of the website will quickly notice. As always, any feedback is very much appreciated, particularly as far as the new website is concerned, as, realistically speaking, we should have some growing pains, although the old-site, one could argue, was the manifestation of three or so years of growing pains. But, for now, we hope you enjoy this special issue, and we will be back with another issue in approximately ten days – what will be, if not the biggest, hopefully the best issue we have ever published. Merry Holidays and Happy New Year, everyone! – Ryan Clingman, Cubed Circle Newsletter Editor When Did British Wrestling Get So Big? Ben Carass On November 13th 2004, FWA (Frontier Wrestling Alliance) ran the biggest post-World of Sport era show the British Wrestling scene had ever seen. A reported 1,785 fans saw such names as Terry Funk, Drew McDonald, AJ Styles, Colt Cabana, Paul Burchill, Spud and Doug Williams on the card at the Coventry Skydome that night for British Uprising III.

You can never predict what a jury will do. Every time there is a major legal case in the public eye, as there is now *Jerry McDevitt, one of the Titan lawyers, came next, mainly to rebut more than ever, experienced lawyers go on "Nightline" "20/20" and O'Shea. While McDevitt was good, he was clearly out of his league their ilk and those words are always repeated. You can never predict according to our reports in comparison with Laura Brevetti (the other what a jury will do once it gets the case. Titan attorney) and O'Shea. He mainly tried to impugn the credibility of the witnesses, claiming there was no conspiracy because After jury selections on 7/5, the trial of Titan Sports and steroid McMahon and Zahorian never talked and that McMahon had to pay distribution and conspiracy to distribute charges got under way on full price for his steroids so they weren't in business together. 7/6. The trial is expected to last three weeks, down from the original Naturally he tried to impugn Zahorian saying that they've already five weeks and several witnesses originally subpoenaed for the May admitting he lied in his own trial so how can people believe he's trial were not subpoenaed for this trial because it's being held down telling the truth here and in which case would he be charged with on time.

  • Sam Ford World Wrestling Entertainment in Japanese Culture
    Sam Ford World Wrestling Entertainment in Japanese Culture in the 21st Century Introduction Approximately 16,000 pro wrestling fans were jammed into the Yokohama Arena on 01 March 2002, paying $1.1 million to see the first show by American international sports entertainment property World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), formerly a regional promotion in the Northeast that launched a national media phenomenon in the 1980s when it paired with the growing strength of cable and pay-per-view television and remains based in Stamford, Connecticut, creating the first most successful wrestling touring group and television program on a national level. Shane McMahon, who along with sister Stephanie is heir to the McMahon family wrestling empire controlled by their father, Vince McMahon, was scheduled to come out early in the show, in front of the capacity crowd. His family company had not been to Japan for a show since the mid-1990s, when they only drew 4,500 fans in the same building, and fans hated parts of the show so much they chanted “refund.” Something had changed by 2002, though, and WWE was the place to be for thousands of people in Tokyo. McMahon entered the ring, accompanied by translator Wally Yamaguchi—a figure Japanese pro wrestling fans might know as a referee for Japanese wrestling organization All- Japan. As McMahon began to speak to the crowd through Yamaguchi, the duo was met with a loud series of boos. According to journalist Dave Meltzer, “The crowd, particularly the ringsiders, were furious. They wanted WWF, not WWF translated into Japanese.”1 Shane 1 Meltzer, Dave.

  • Here When It’S Put Online Is More up to Date Than If We Were Like Other Mags That Unavoidably Have to Go to the Printers a Couple of Weeks Before Getting in the Shops
    Page 2 Welcome to the first ever edition of Piledriver Online. Some of you will already be familiar with this publication as it has previously been available at shows and on subscription but now it has a new home on the internet in full colour and I sincerely hope you all enjoy this debut edition. So what’s different about Piledriver Online? Well, using this format one main difference is that the information here when it’s put online is more up to date than if we were like other mags that unavoidably have to go to the printers a couple of weeks before getting in the shops. We also have more pages and give plenty of coverage to UK wrestling, have more news coverage, more interviews and a look back at the history of professional wrestling home and abroad. Oh and of course it’s free to read! We will soon be launching Piledriver Plus and that will give you more news, competitions and features that will not appear in the main magazine all for just ten pounds a year (current subscribers need not apply). More about that at www.pildedriver-online.co.uk soon, oh and don’t forget to join our forums and if you’re interested in advertising with us at incredibly cheap rates and in full colour just go to our website for more details. We’re just weeks away from Wrestlemania now and the card is gradually taking shape, in fact the two main title matches were confirmed even before ‘No Way Out’ took place on February 18th which isn’t always the case as that PPV usually has a match to determine who gets a title shot at Wrestlemania and it’s not that long ago since the WWE title even changed hands at that PPV when Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar.
