Maybe some of the older members remember back in the day there was an account IIRC the username was @
thunderbolt88, his very first post was a thread making a very positive review of Tank Abbott’s newly released self written book entitled:
“Bar Brawler” Befor There Were Rules
View attachment 822407
As you can imagine the thread quickly turned into a 10 page shit show of people bashing the book, I actually purchased and attempted to read the book, I made it about 30 pages through before giving up...LoL, it was a very poorly spent $12.
It quickly became evident that @
thunderbolt88 was in fact Tank himself, he was simply trying to plug his own book, for a while he was engaged in dialogue with nearly everyone who posted anything negatively in regards to his book, but he couldn’t keep up with mass trashing of his book. He was valiantly white knighting his own literary genius and kept the thread going a while, it kinda took on a life of its own. Eventually, he decided drinking and Sherdogging was a good idea, it was that obvious in the turn of his tone... His posts became increasingly belligerent and he began threatening the other members, he eventually was banned... I’m guessing the thread still exists and will look for it, it was hilariously entertaining and totally obvious who was pushing the review.
I do miss the good old days of Sherdog when fighters would periodically post here, even under troll accounts like Tank Abbott and Mike Dolce, get banned and we’d collectively laugh at them...
