I used to always be a fan of Rampage. However, over the past year or so since he first appeared on TUF before losing his title to FOrrest, I have been becoming less and less of a fan of Rampage. And after this ducking Machida and Rashad craw and thinking playing Mr T is more important than fighting, and seeing AGAIN how much of an IDIOT he is while on TUF – I have been starting to HATE Rampage. In fact, after last nights episode, I now officially HATE Rampage. How quickly he slid in my eyes.

I hope Rampage does continue to pursue his movie career after he comes back to the UFC for 1 more fight and has Rashad teach him a lesson on how to act like a decent human being. Going out for lunch prior a TUF fight with all the coaches. “Maybe one of us should have stayed here. Maybe I should have”. NO F’ING SH*T!!!!!!!! I want Rashad to KTFO of Rampage and send him packing for straight-to-DVD-movie-land and I straight to Cinemax movies. OR, if he still wants one more fight, let Machida completely embaras him as well.

I don’t think losing those two fights(totally possible) would affect the fight with Page. I want to see Shad shut him up anyway, no matter what happens between now and than. We waited forever for Serra-Hughes and I hate both of those guys. A couple of months isn’t going to change my attitude about this fight.

me neither…I was never really interested in Serra/Hughes anyways but Shad/Page does interest me…just sucks we have to wait a little longer

jay – I responded to ya in the Hughes thread

Mac, just read it. That is cool about the house, hope everything goes well and you swindle the lady out of some cash on the price, lol. I won’t know a diamond till I get to Kitchener in the morning. If you have a cell phone I can text the park to you when I get there. Just send me your number on Fbook, or I will send you a message tonight anyway, In case I can get more info from the coach. It would be nice to meet a fellow Maniac, since I couldn’t get into the US for the Philly show.

Mac message in mod. I have been getting it a lot lately.

me too…I think we Canadian’s are being discriminated against ;)

I find it funny that this is coming from a guy who’s never fought more than twice a year in his entire career.

Who? Rampage? check that NNR…he has fought 3 times in 07, 6 times in ‘00, 8 times in ’01, 3 times in ’02, 6 times in ’03, and twice every other year…not too bad actually…not taking his side, just sayin’

Of course I still want to see Page/Shad no matter how many losses in a row shad will have by the time they fight…but I want to see it because its a good match up. If you guys want to see it in hopes that Rashad will SHUT UP rampage, then you will all be disappointed because there is no doubt in my mind that Rampage will beat Rashad. Either way, still a juicy match up!

Mac, LOL. I basically just said I will send you a message tonight if possible, if not tomorrow.

John, just look at their two camps, and the strategies Wolfslair has been coming up with – he is DONE

McArthur – I was saying that about BJ. I just can’t imagine BJ even knowing the meaning of “burnt out.”

VM: Doesnt matter what camp Rampage is at…as long as they get him working his cardio and he is in top physical condition, he will SLAUGHTER Rashad. Only advantage shad has is speed…Rampage’s power and chin will be the difference.

Rashad’s head is really small…I have a feeling that now that he is facing top LHW’s, he is going to start getting Ko’ed left and right! To me, he still hasnt proven the ability to beat a top level LHW…Thats just my humble opinion though!

Violent Mike…….thankyou, that assesment was spot on.

Does anyone else think half of the reason why Page is acting like this is because of the 8-0 drubbing his team takes on TUF? Maybe he is too embarassed to show his face after his latest flop at coaching? It is showing pretty clearly how little he knows about the fight game. Before I get flamed about my comments, understand that teaching and doing are two totally different things. He seems like a big baby so far on this season, with no real advice to give. Yelling get up is easy, try telling your fighter what he needs to do to get up.

Yeah, I’ve kind of suspected since the beginning of the Rampage ordeal that it had something to do with the show as well, they just couldn’t talk about that part yet. Surely it’s got to be pretty stressful (for Rampage) to know that someone has a bunch of video of you being a douche and they are slowly going to show it all to everyone. On top of that, anything (working a movie deal, Dana disrespecting, etc.) is liable to make you snap.

That’s not an excuse, I’m just saying there are probably a lot of contributors to why he’s acting like a D-bag right now.

I hope they at least had the good sense to take away his car keys and Red Bull at the first sign of trouble.

Miami Vice movie: Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell. Result = failure. Dukes of Hazard movie: Johnny Knoxville, Sean William Scott, Jessica Simpson and Toby Keith. Result = failure. Another movie based on an 80s TV show. Likelihood of failure despite several major stars = near inevitable.

Agree PW. This wasn’t a good idea in the first place and is destined to be straight to cable. Totally skipping DVD sales.

I think it really depends on whether the A team movie sucks. On a side note, couldn’t Mr. T still pull off this role? He looks exactly the same now as he did then.

They think Page will draw the 18-34 year old males who like him.HA HA.

I don’t think the movie will flop but in all honesty playing BA is acting suicide…if he fails at acting he return to fighting but if he succeeds he’ll be type cast as the strong black enforcer for the rest of his acting career

Umm, Yes, Miami vice was a flop, but Dukes of Hazzard made $111 mil word wide and the production budget was only $50 mil. Plus, that’s not counting DVD sales. After you factor DVD in that turd of a movie easily made over $200 million from a $50 mil budget. I’m sure Warner Bros hated pocketing at least $75 mil in profit off of it.

I still don’t get all the hate. There’s not a fighter in the UFC that would have turned down a movie role of this magnitude (biggest role by far ever offered to any MMA fighter). People need to STFU…they’ll get their fight sooner or later. Life goes on…

Mac did you just say Page and ACTING CAREER in the same sentence? LOL.

haha…one remake (of sorts) I’m lookin forward to is the Magnum PI movie…I’ve heard that the original actors will be in the movie as their original characters as the movie will only be 20 years later…I wonder if Magnum still lives in Robin’s basement and if IcePick is still alive…

I’m too lazy to look it up, but what were the budgets for those movies? Not cheap. If they spent $100 million to pull in $80 million then that is failure. And I’m pretty sure they were intended to be summer blockbusters. And if summer blockbusters don’t pull in a few hundred million then they fell well short of expectations.

80 Million and 65 million are busts by todays standards.

I see what your saying, but unless you are an actual movie franchise knowadays, its hard to pull in “a few hundred million dollars”. Though admittadly not great, those are respectable numbers. I think this all comes back to the fact that I think people should get off Rampages back and let him do whatever the hell he wants. I like watching him fight, but if he wants to go do a movie then thats his business. There are plenty of other fights out there to watch.

Dave TRUE. I just don’t like Page, never did, so I rag on him. Should have seen me when he was smashing fetuses last summer. I was hyped up to say the least. Page hate ain’t gonna stop here, I wouldn’t stop if I wanted to.

couldn’t stop if I wanted to.

LOL JAY! I’m with you on that!

I just saw parts of a movie with Franklin and Tiffany Thiessen the other night. What is that movie?

Cyborg Soldier. Plot from IMDB: centers on a lonely U.S. border patrol agent, played by (Tiffani Thiessen), who captures a genetically engineered super-soldier, played by (Rich Franklin). It begins as the soldiers creator, played by (Bruce Greenwood), attempts to hunt them down.

I assume that Franklin is the Cyborg in question. Sad that Tiffani went from Kelly Kapowski to 90210 to this. I really hope she does a Saved by the Bell: The Drunken Sexual Experimentation movie with Jessie Spano.

Cyborg Soldier was awesome, Rich’s best line

Tiffani: “But they’ll kill you!”

Rich: “Then I’ll die.”

a riveting performance

If it has the OD seal of approval I might just have to watch the whole thing some day.
