Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:17:25 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=9545#comment-58888 Sam, With those wreckage fights: do they show them all on the same episode of Wreckage or do they randomly through them in with other undercard fights? If they throw them in randomly it will be hard to see those undercard fights because I have seen so many of the other Wreckages' and I'm pretty unmootivated to watch a Wreckage I have already seen. It's hard to tell whose fighting when. Sam,

If you circled it around from this site to other sites like MMAJunkie, MMAWeekly, & Sherdog im sure you would get many to hop on. i remember the petition for SpikeTV worked for the Fight Nights to go to 3 hours works. also, with someone as credible as yourself being the creator it would make it solid. just a thought.

Maybe I should think before I type....nah, then it wouldn't real posting. It would be like a street corner evangelist putting serious time and effort into a sermon that no one is really listening too. I will continue to let my emotions fly through my fingertips without any rhyme or reason. Love the site almost as much as I love the sport. Sam,

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:54:02 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=9545#comment-58862 I am considering actually trying to contact them (politely and tactfully unlike my post). They used to show three hours. They are my favorite organization the last event was the worst I have seen of theirs. Thats why I'm so pissed. They have consistently put on the absolute sickest shows top to bottom. I do not want that to change. I had this complaint about UFC 90 and I was pleasantly proven wrong in UFC 91 which showed all of the fights (it was phenomenally paced). I hope WEC can follow suit. Also, one of their execs got flack for not showing the fight of the night so perhaps they'll try to pack more fights in.

They need a certain amount of fights to build up their library. Also, going longer than two hours for WEC 36 and 37 isn't really an option because they want to be off the air by 10 due to The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV. It's a different network, but they don't want to go head-to-head with identical programming. For the WEC, I think the key is figuring out a different night to hold shows on other than Wednesday while TUF is airing. Sunday is normally a solid night for them, but it's not an option during football season. I think they should do Sunday's during the NFL offseason and then Thursdays during the season. Yes, I realize they will still be going up against college football and also the NFL, but the college games on Thursday are usually not huge matchups and the NFL games on Thursday aren't as widely viewed as Sunday and Monday because they only air on the NFL network.

Its hard to knock WEC on their methods when building a fighter up, but... DAMN! Can I please see some undercard fights, so I can judge the new crop of talent in the ring instead of listening to all of the "experts" tell me what I should know about them after they've received a fight for a spot as "number one contender" I am completely with you JOe K.
