The Juggernaut Diaries: Mike Wessel’s TUF 10 Blog; Episode 9
Well last night the show started out with Team Rashad coaching the team individually. They did this so there was no unfair advantage to another team member. I really thought that this was the best plan since everyone was going to have to fight each other till the end of the show. I really don’t think this bothered anyone on the team either because we have been in the house for four weeks now and... [Read More...]
The Juggernaut Diaries: Mike Wessel’s TUF 10 Blog; Episode 8
On this week’s episode of TUF the show starts out recapping the Junk vs. Mitrione fight. Matt had his bell rung and Scott eyes were both banged up. Those two fought a war and were both hurting pretty bad. Wes Sims attempt to throw a party for Matt was a funny joke but died quickly when Matt was to out of it to even move as Wes sprayed him with silly string. I hated that Scott lost but that’s...

Well I truly think that as the season has gone on, the show is getting better, and just in time too because I fight next. This weeks show starts off with the final two picks of the first round. Now if you remember right, Matt was to fight Marcus in the beginning, but because of his shenanigans and snitching he had the picks switched. The truth is that I was to fight Wes Sims, Matt to fight Marcus,... [Read More...]
The Juggernaut Diaries: Mike Wessel’s TUF 10 Blog; Episode 4
This week’s episode starts off showing the past fight. It was great to see Roy give Rampage shit. Rampage makes a comment that Roy has no skills but what people don’t know is the Rampage has came to Roy several times before the show for ground training. Its funny to see Rampage act like a child toward him. It was also funny that the only member that Team Rampage was Kimbo. Every other fighter got... [Read More...]

Well after all the hype and all the buzz, the Kimbo vs. Nelson fight finally came and went. The show starts off with the great people at Spike trying to make Kimbo even more marketable when they show him struggling with his “Inner Me”. I really don’t know what they wanted to get out of this, but besides Kimbo being the toughest dude at the BBQ, he cannot sit at that same BBQ and be a philosophizer. The... [Read More...]
Roy Nelson vs. Kimbo Slice: It’s all about how you spin it baby!

Roy did just enough to win, and not get hit.” But isn’t... [Read More...]

The Juggernaut Diaries: Mike Wessel’s TUF 10 Blog; Episode 2
Last night the show started off basically showing Kimbo, and how “Team Rampage” was giving special treatment to Kimbo over his other team members. Many of the fighters on “Team Rampage” didn’t think too much about this, but if I were on their team, I would have been pissed. Rampage knew what his next fight was going to be, but he spent more time messing with Kimbo than training Wes Shivers. As... [Read More...]

When they introduced Kimbo the entire cast was like, “Who gives a s***”. Nobody was intimidated, or scared.... [Read More...]
