War Room Lounge V30: Cemeteries are not Restrooms

[JudoThrowFiasco]

By all accounts, Askren is a different beast.

Any way you account for it, Ben is one dimensional who is facing the best fighter he has ever fought

 

[LMP]

It doesn't help that they're often on the same thread version. We should pull ahead a bit and hopefully spare you from the brain damage that thread inflicts.

If only we were on version 31.....

Yep. As Jeff Blatnick might say, "Let's see who brings their skills to bear.".

Now I'm getting called a Trump supporter for saying I have no issue with making jokes about trans people or Parkland kids since all topics are okay and that making fun of Trump is the lowest hanging fruit for comics.

But what the fuck do I know about stand up comedy lol.

 

[LMP]

Same. Weird how it's so much fun for half a page and then I can't take any more

God bless @Cint and the rest of the guys keeping that thread going, they keep pumping the stuff out.

I agree to a certain extent, but Lawler is waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy past his prime. I see Askren winning via UD wrestle fuck


I hope I"m wrong though

 

[PolishHeadlock]

Yeah he does and Lawler may be on his decline tour - but the only people who have wrestled fucked Lawler also had striking capabilities; of which askren is severely lacking. Also Lawler has decent to good tdd

One dimensional wrestlers have ended up comatose against Lawler.

I want Lawler to win but Lindland's leg attacks were nowhere near as potent and Askren will be ruthless in his pursuit of them.

What gives me faith in Robbie was him beating up on Rory twice

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

actually, If Askren wants to make a "statement", he might need the finish.

Dana White is not a fan of the "3 round wrestle fuck" snooze fests we have seen with Jake Shields and Jon Fitch.

Robbie did well against juiced up Hendricks as well.

I can't be a Robbie fan anymore. Dude is so fucking passive the first few rounds.

 

[PolishHeadlock]

Hendricks can wrestle as well as Askren imo but he has shit fight IQ which is the main reason I didn't bring him up

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

agreed...

almost as bad as that Russian Guy who stood RIGHT IN FRONT of Derrick Lewis with 15 seconds left to go in the 3rd round.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Hendricks can wrestle as well as Askren imo but he has shit fight IQ which is the main reason I didn't bring him up

But he also has a cannon of a left and is incredibly good at closing distance against good strikers. He had more tools for lawler to think about. Ben is a high level grappler but that is all he as to worry about

Plus Robbie grew up with Miletich fight team so he knows how to handle 1D wrestlers and currently has a great team to plan something out.

[Anung Un Rama]

I honestly don't know enough about Askren to have a strong opinion either way, but Robbie hasn't looked good and this fight should mean everything for Ben Funky Dad Bod Askren. Otherwise, I would expect Robbie to win.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Curious...is talking about the biological differences in races equivalent to racism?

If you're white, it's certainly bannable frowned upon.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Yelling socialism about those things might turn into the boy who cried wolf soon.

Yelling socialist to any dem candidate could well be the equivalent of the left calling everyone racist. What was once a serious allegation, is now just lip wind insult

 

[AgonyandIrony]

God bless @Cint and the rest of the guys keeping that thread going, they keep pumping the stuff out.

Hey @Cint do you live in Kenner or somewhere on the Westbank?

Tbh I thought of you when people were trying to hunt down that confederate flag throwing cunt in the Nyx Parade Wednesday.

If only we were on version 31.....

I'll gladly sacrifice your peace of mind for repayment of a minor insult.

@PolishHeadlock just finished Free Solo. I had seen the climbing scenes and knew all that footage would be spectacular, but wow, they did such a great job telling his story. It's real shit, not bullshit. All of it beautifully filmed. Anybody who likes documentaries about personal achievement or outdoors or sports should pony up a few bucks for this one.

I found it funny that the one time his foot slips on the big day is on a super easy section. Also a little jarring, but still kinda hilarious. I really hope he stops pushing it, he's not going to survive many more of these epics. It's hard to describe what an epic achievement it is to climb El Capitan's main wall without a rope. It's probably even further out there than when Reinhold Messner climbed Mt. Everest alone without supplemental oxygen back around 1980, because lots of people have repeated that feat. Nobody's going to top this one for a loooooong time.
