Comments on: No Shaw’s and Very Little Excitement for Elite XC http://www.cagepotato.com/2008/07/25/no-shaws-and-very-little-excitement-for-elite-xc/ Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:43:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Night Knife http://www.cagepotato.com/2008/07/25/no-shaws-and-very-little-excitement-for-elite-xc/#comment-24042 Night Knife Sat, 26 Jul 2008 20:20:04 +0000 http://www.cagepotato.com/?p=2097#comment-24042 Lawler and others are probably pissed they signed contracts with a dog and pony show like Elite XC. If you went on Saturday night Prime time and had anything besides the same bunch of garbage news specials and lame ass watered down sitcoms, you will see a ratings boost. Carano is a decent fighter, but I think without a true represented female line up it's hard to say, but I'm pretty sure anyone that saw that Kimbo fight vs Thompson can agree to the "legitimacy" of EliteXC.

It's called research. It is a competition after all. Those who play for the love of their respective game also watch because they actually enjoy it. Still others do not watch for the reasons you cited, Shawn. Actually, a lot of pros watch their sport. It’s called research. It is a competition after all.

Still others do not watch for the reasons you cited, Shawn.

I've known hockey players that never watch the NHL because it reminds them of work. Then again, most people don't watch the NHL...

I hope he gets caught early. Who doesn't watch the sport they take part in professionally? It seemed like he just didn't want to answer any of the questions. Doesn't he realize the people watching these interviews and shit are the ones putting money in his pockets? Yeah, I liked Lawler a lot more before I saw this interview. I hope he gets caught early.

I cant stand watching the Elite XC because of the whole entire vibe. First off....dont have Steve Goldgerg in the ring after each fight. Second off.....they dont sound like they even know what they are talking about. The commentator has to be the worst ever......if i actually wind up watching it.....i mute my tv because it pisses me off. Their advertising is absolutely ridiculous and you never really hear about the fights at all. The only one that was talked about really was Kimbo and Tank. If they really want to draw in a crowd....lose the commentators and replace them with someone who knows the sport and also put your big name fighters up against other big name fighter. Kimbo obviously draws the biggest amount of viewers....put him up against someone decent that can actually show all of his many weaknesses! Im a huge mma fan and never miss an event.
