Competition is always good for business

By
Especially when your business, is the business of competition.  The WSOF (World Series of Fighting) put a challenge out to Bellator, who airs fights on Spike TV almost weekly through most of the year.  The challenge is to find out which of these two promotions are the definitive number two behind the UFC.  Obvioulsy counting ratings and viewers would provide the true answer but where's the fun in that?  The following is a tweet from the WSOF issuing the challenge:


Like the days the WWE (then WWF) and WCW were fighting for ratings they could not challenge their wrasslers versus our wrasslers so to speak.  But, in the game of  Martial Arts competition or MMA with a little open mindedness and some negotiating this is very possible.  Before people knew who Dana White was, when Pride FC was around a Dana White with hair and a very young Chuck Liddell did go to the Pride FC venue to participate in the Pride FC Middleweight Grand Prix tournament, adding to Liddell's legacy of fighting anybody and he did not do bad.  A cross promotional show would definitely be worthy of a PPV, and I as a fan of both would love it.

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

By
The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

By
Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
