Someone on reddit worked out a bunch of statistics on how each gladiator performed.

 How many trios teams are there that you need TWO sets of titles, let alone two sets on the same shows?

Now that i think about it, there are loads. I'm only counting each faction once, even though the BCC, for instance, could field four different combinations.

1 the elite, 2 death triangle,3 house of black, 4 the acclaimed/billy gunn, 5 mogul empire

6 ex JAS, 7 don callis family, 8 QTV, 9 AR fox/top flight, 10 the kingdom/roderick strong

11 the dark order, 12 bullet club gold, 13 blackpool combat club, 14 los ingobronables, 15 hardys/ zay

16 dalton castle and the boys, 17 christian cage and co, 18 best friends, 19 jarrett and co, 20 archer/the righteous

21sabian/butcher/blade, also the various guest luchadors seem to team up a lot, or you could put a new team of people together to go for the title, for instance, edge /FTR.

I'm housesitting this weekend with the whole of Netflix and Prime Video at my command, a novelty for me. So I've just searched for twenty of my favourite non-Disney films - all mainstream staples (I'm a man of simple tastes) - and only eight of them are available on either of these two leading platforms, without paying extra to buy or rent them.

If any of them are fox films they might be on disney plus. I noticed that the Die Hard films are on there for instance.

If you are recording this show you should probably double check it as late as possible in case they change the title and it messes up the recording.

yeah so if the show does 210,000 buys the fighter gets $10,000 dollars not $210,000.

I think you have the deal wrong there. It's nothing for the first 200,00 regardless of how the show does. $1 per buy for 200k to 400k $2 for 400k to 600k and $2.5 for any buys over 600k.

So an 800k buy show would pay out $0 +$200,000 +$400,000 + $500,000 for a total of $1.1 million out of about $25 million that the UFC gets.

If, on the night before WrestleMania, they’d gone “Roman Reigns got injured in training” it would’ve been met with a sea of “REEEEEEEEE no he didn’t” - as happened when they pretended The Miz was injured. 

They’re never going to say he’s staying home because of Coronavirus fear, and dey’re never going to accept a storyline reason for his absence. 

I've seen you use this "REEEEEE" thing a few times recently. what does it mean? Is it a reference to something?

One judge scored it 30-27 for Ewell, which is just indefensible. I think it was the same judge who scored the main event 49-46.  

I just checked mmadecisions.com and yes it was the same judge. He also gave Giles the first round against Krause, so horrible judging on all three of his fights. He wasn't the judge that wasn't watching the murphy v lee fight though.

Is that PPV number confirmed and legit? That's a disaster if true. 

I don't  subscribe to the observer, but supposedly this is what Dave Meltzer had to say:

"The Los Angeles Times reported this show, which was filled with stars, did less than 150,000 buys on PPV. We don’t have any solid figures but other early estimates are far above that. By next week we should have something that at least confirms the range of how it did."

If you're in Ireland or have a way around region blocking, you can just watch it on the RTE site.

There's a documentary about Finn Balor/Prince Devitt on RTE 2 tonight. It's called "Smack em up: Reality Bites"

 

Crazy fact about Invicta 8. Nobody was sure how old Yasuko Tamada was; turns out she's 47. I'm not sure whether to be impressed or mortified given the fact she got slaughtered for fifteen minutes.

really? fucking hell. Some strange matchmaking going down in Invicta.

From what i can tell, she's ranked top 10, maybe even top 5 in the division. Remember, Randy Couture was almost 48 when he fought Machida. I think it's like that one armed guy that got beat up in WSOF, it looks bad if you don't know the context, like what did they think would happen, but he and presumably she were reasonably credible contenders.

So, Bellator's back, starting this Friday. Apparently it airs on Viva in the UK on Saturday. It looks like a good run of main events, Rampage this week, a title match almost every week after that.

My TV schedule has Bellator listed for Saturday 16th (tonight) on Viva, but not on Friday. Are they changing when they show it? It would be nice to have it on only one days delay.
