You got it wrong. That was my spinning piledriver in Street Fighter 4.

I don't doubt genetics play a large role, but people having very strong knees is the exception and not the rule.

Brock Lesnar is getting slammed and rolled on by large men. the lower body in MMA is the key. If he takes punishment to the legs he wont be able to throw those atomic bombs like he does. Just because he doesn't have any knee issues now, doesn't mean he wont. I hope he doesn't, no one's career should go out that way, but the odds of him having some sort of support issue are greater than not.

I'm not even going to say something stupid about steroid use and injuries since he has never tested positive....... just something to keep in mind.

yeah that too, i dislocated my shoulder from the force of the ds3 after being piledriven

i pre-ordered fight night, they haven't gotten their demo codes in yet, but they said the other store (the one in the mall that i never go to) has them in, so you might want to check yours

also pre-ordered mw2 so i'd get the sweet poster

Shit... that's right... Limited poster.

they actually have the posters in store right now (mine did anyway), it's actually rolled up in plastic and not shitty folded up like the fallout 3 one

that has to be the single worst news I have ever heard....

you must always plan ahead. I love Ohio State Football (don't hold that against me), and my fiance wanted a september wedding. Instantly i pulled up the schedule and picked a Sunday September 6. Reason #1, college football is on saturdays, reason #2 its labor day weekend (in the US) and we'll have a holiday on monday, reason #3 weddings on sundays are instantly cheaper by huuuuuge margins. also, sunday wasn't a tough choice because I'm also a Browns fan and if there is a viable excuse to not watch them suck I'll take it. I'd rather get married than watch them embarass themselves.....

exactly, get a projector, screen, and a method of watching the PPV and everyone can enjoy the fight/reception. I'm sure your new bride would love that

My sister's wedding was on Buckeye football saturday.... it was homecoming (2000).... they lost.... at least I had free booze to drown the sorrows.

they'll probably carry it on yahoo sports too, so if you're having the slideshow projector thing going (like a lot of people do), you can get it with an internet connection

i know none of these scenarios will probably work because i know how women are about weddings and the lack of embarrassment they want their husbands to cause during said weddings, but good luck
