"If Paul Herrera would be standing there, i will fight my friend"
"Mark Hall took a dive for you Don, i dont know if you paid him..."

-About punching a KOed guy:
You are in a fight...it was in a middle of a fight and im charged and you have to take care of it (meaning Big John)....its not like i was walking away and then turned...it was in the middle of a fight...
Wouldnt hold a grudge if someone did it to him...

Pancrase Pussy

Great for Dana great for all the guys who are sports fighters now...

-Back to Bas...phoney...tells stories which arent even true...

Fan Questions

Stipe x Francis
Francis looks tough...hasnt seen him underpressure though...

Winner vs Jones?
...oh yeah...

Rampage...looks fatter and fatter and out of shape....Fedor knocked him out in 10 seconds or so...

Says he doesnt watch a lot of fights these days...
Talks Jones...you cant get fatter and become a HW..points out other fighters trying it and failing...

How is his health...
Looong looong road for 2,5 years...was complete fucked up

How does the UFC take care of their Legends?
Oh...i dont know...they never really did anything for me...but i also never asked...

-Scott Ferrozo
Still talks to him on the phone...

-Allen Goes
..Flyer from a boxing gym...something with JJ on the Flyer with open grappling matches...so Tank showed up
Some dude and Paul Herrera got tapped pretty quicked, Tank and Allen session went pretty intense and they allmost fought a couple of times....

Next time...they met they were in a hotel and Allen was with hus Crew...nothing happened there...



Ok guys...i'm done with doing cliffs...
Still 1 hour to go...fuck that



Ok...another one


1:31:00 Tank gets emotional...chokes up when he starts to talk about his last 3 UFC fights, appereantly his life is in bad condition at this time...

Dana calls...we need footage of you sparring, for the Cabbage fight.
So they shot footage of him...Joe Silva was there too.
So Tank showed his stuff and in the fight...it seemed Cabbage knew what was Tank going to do...
Tank thinks they showed Cabbage the footage...He gets caught with a knee, gets cut and they stop the fight....fuck this.

Later, i stretched him out on the Rock!...talking about their rematch



Fuck...OMG....i wrote "intimate him"...it should be "intimidate him"....and all the rest "intimate"s too....lol


You know what John Cena always told you!
wp2641557.jpg
..more Cliffs
-worked a wrestling match with the Steiner Brothers and Rick was Tag Teaming with Tank...it was planned that Tank punches Scott on the kisser, while Rick holds him in place...Tank goes for the shot and Rick pushes Scott forward and Tank blasts Scott...Scott was furious...

-Pedro Rizzo
Kicked the shit outta me...
At one point i was willing to trade a kick for a punch...his legs were just way longer.
Thought the reason why he couldnt really set on his punches was that he was wearing shoes and Rizzo not. The brazillians were throwing water around in the cage like crazy...
But then he says:"No...He kicked the shit outta me. Laughs
...i should have learned how to check a kick before that.

-pressing weight:
No roids no nothing...
Bench: 625

-Chris Benoit
Real quiet guy, allways said Hi and Bye didnt know he was this wizard of a technical huy...when he heard about the news he was like: Really????That guy???

-Was shocked when he was booked to win against Sid...likes Sid
He was the 1st guy to actually really come to him and talk to him...
"FUCK ...He must have been on the gas or something he is fucking huge!
So he comes around, sits down, spreads his legs away puts his hands on the knees...and looks at him...and i think to myself: Jesus Christ! Thats a Big Motherfucker!! And he goes...hey Tank"
Sid basicly smartend him up about the politics side of wrestling

-Respect for Vitor Belfort for standing up with him?
Didnt think much of it...obviously got caught with a good punch and went out of it...so what you gonna do? It happens


-Music he listens to
Smiths, Doors...

-Who helped him put the most in ProWrestling?
Probably the no names guys in wrestling...its heavy competition out there so...so he allready had a contract that other guys trying to get....thats why the other guys...

-Paul Arndorff Story
About him calling Tank to his Office and talking about getting him on the Gas...

-Last live fight he saw
Some fight with Check Kongo...a rematch that ended in a eye poke...
Fedor Rampage

-Who hit him the hardest?
...
-Was Nelmark his craziest KO?
He had a couple in real life...
He didnt really register the Nelmark thing..

-Severn
Doesnt really dislike Dan...but in the past Tank says he did call him some words...
Doesnt like the style Dan fights...

To his fans:
Keep on keeping on!

...dont believe in stories!...like him running from a street fight or Pat Miletich

I love how there's a spelling mistake on the very first word... I'm also unsure if there were ever sequels to make up the "trilogy".

No, it's fictional... Basically its about a big mean dude who drives around in a pickup truck with a dog named Adolf (seriously) getting drunk at bars whilst deciding who annoys him the most, then beating that person/people before driving off wistfully thinking about the street justice he bestowed upon whatever crazy fool definitely should have known better than to act tough in front of our hero that evening... He also has a fairly dim view of womynz, preferring time alone or with "the boys", although he despises homosexuality, and anything flamboyant.

There's a bit more to it, but that's the general gist... Tbh I had to put it down after a while... But i will finish it and write a review when i do.

It actually sounds like how I imagined Tank was living his life before UFC, tbh.

I don’t know why I like Tank so much but I do. Never met the guy, don’t know anything about his beliefs, don’t even like the damned gif of him mocking his opponent after the KO. I guess I feel like he’s the type of person who believes everything he’s telling you. He’s doesn’t seem to be dressing up his rhetoric or hiding his feelings and even though that isn’t the type of person who’s easy to be around, I guess that’s a respectable quality to me. Too many folks just say or believe stuff whenever it is convenient.

100%... Some of the stories are so visceral that you can almost smell the urine cakes from the toilet, and the barmaid's plaque infested teeth.

It kind of seems like his life mixed in with "wish i had done it that way", and some insightful life philosophies of his own that he felt needed putting on wax.

It's mystery to me as to why he is shitting on Tito for the most of his interview? any thoughts sherbros? Is it because of a rivalry over a title who is Huntington Beach's baddest boy? pffff please....
 
I only realised Tank Abbott was a fighter when I started watching the UFC. Before I had seen him on WCW and he would always come out to Goldberg's entrance music and everyone would be really annoyed that it was not actually Goldberg. Ever since then I hated him :P

So it's basically an autobiography.

This book is so funny “Who is this blue blood judge. She obviously knows nothing about street justice”

yeah kinda looking like John Hackleman there. guess it's the bald head and white goatee
