i think it will slith. once you give the youth a sports hero to aspire to be like you have planted a seed that will grow bigger each year. cain is that hero. he'll tap into their national pride. i think the most overlooked aspect of cain's abilities is his intelligence. knowing that brock had the advantage on the ground cain used his wrestling skills to get back to his feet instead of trying to wrestle brock for position. when he realized that he could hang with brock and out muscle him that's when the fight got nasty. you saw cain manhandle brock on the fence and on the ground at that point. I can't really argue this point about being a sports hero. Cause he now is. And I hope it takes off This being said, UFC champs are fleeting. Here today, gone tomorrow, where as in boxing guys like Julio Caesar Chavez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Salvador Sanchez and Erik Morales have stood the test of time and made this a deep rooted cultural following. Yeah Cain dominated all aspects. He is a force for sure

Yeah Cain dominated all aspects. He is a force for sure now that is a good point slith. though considering the state of the heavyweight division in the ufc cain could be champ for a while. no where on the level of the boxing legends you mentioned but really all he has to do is gain stature with the mexican/american fans and they will help spread the word across the border. there are already mexican champs in the lower weight classes that fight with the WEC. bit to really seal the deal they a need a mexican champ that fights out of mexico.

i think it is for fighters who have been beaten pretty bad d. where as a fighter who gets submitted might be able to fight with only a month's rest. my guess is he showed signs of a concussion.

Go getum Taker.................. Darryl, a friend of mine sent me this vid. There is something very personal about this. I'm thinking Brock had his goods in Sara. Takers ex-wife now. Her tat is now gone. I'm surprised Brock didn't take a swing. Pretty intense. They were talking a one time appearance for Brock against the Taker at Wrestlemania. Dana put the kybosh on that right away

Dunno Slith, havnt been able to find any rumors about what its all about, maybe they just dont like each other.
Brock was never very popular in the WWE dressing rooms, he hurt to many people with his clumsy wrestling moves to be popular.

I looked around tonight for something. Thought it might have been a shoot. Nothing. Yeah I had read he was known for his stiff style and the boys in the back were actually afraid to wrestle him
