Jabandgrapple.com’s Top 10 WWE wrestlers for the week ending 8/18/08
1. Undertaker (LW: 10)
He’s baaaaaaaaaack and he’s sending people to h-e double hockey sticks. We really didn’t realize how much we missed the Undead Superstar until his epic SummerSlam Hell in a Cell match. Amazing stuff in what might go down as an all-time great pro […]
Reader Steven Dean posted a comment about the July 19 Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Al Seeger fight that was shown on ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights. The comment was so good that it deserved a post of its own.
Boxers so often, as Mr. Dean explains, take fights at an incredibly short notice. Seeger took the Gamboa […]
Quick thoughts on the Super Heavyweight Olympic boxing draw.

Super Heavyweight (91+kg / 200+ lbs)
The super heavyweight and heavyweight divisions include only 16 fighters, while the other weight classes showcase 28. This means less fighting and a more elite roster. The super heavyweight draw separates the 2007 World Championship gold […]
Quick thoughts on the Light Flyweight Olympic boxing draw.

Light Flyweight (-48kg / sub-105 lbs)
This is one of more evenly distributed draws of the tourney. American Luis Yanez is on the opposite side of the bracket from the home town favorite and defending world champ and 2004 Olympic bronze medalist […]

Heavyweight (91kg / 200 lbs)
When American Deontay Wilder saw the heavyweight Olympic draw he must have smiled. Wilder need only beat lightly regarded Algerian Abdelaziz Toulbini and the winner between Australia’s Brad Pitt and Morocco’s Mohamed Arjaoui to be assured of an Olympic […]
After three solid days of non-stop Olympic boxing television viewing I’ve finally decided what sport reminds me of…and it ain’t good. Olympic boxing brings back memories of a Christmas past when I asked for and received a video game I had been anticipating for months. A video game that had deep game play and required […]

Flyweight (48-51kg / 112 lbs.)
Defending world champion Rau’shee Warren didn’t get any favors. The three other 2007 World Championships medalists are all on his side of the bracket. If the Cincinnati native and 2004 Athens Olympian gets through the first two rounds his quarters […]
Quick thoughts on the Bantamweight Olympic boxing draw.

Bantamweight (54kg / 119 lbs)
At the 2007 World Championships Puerto Rican McJoe Arroyo (his twin brother McWilliams is a flyweight Olympian) lost 20-9 in the semifinals to Russian Sergey Vodopyanov after storming through the competition. Unfortunately, at the Olympics McJoe is paired against […]
Jabandgrapple.com’s Top 10 WWE wrestlers for the week ending 8/11/08
Monday night’s RAW and Tuesday’s ECW didn’t exactly bring us a lot of action while Friday night’s SmackDown was preempted in Mr. Jabandgrapple’s hometown by an Eagles vs. Steelers pre-season match-up. And while my DVR wasn’t intuitive enough to tape the delayed broadcast I was able […]
Quick thoughts on the Lightweight Olympic boxing draw.

Lightweight (60kg / 132 lbs)
The big story in the lightweight draw is the failure of 2007 World Champion Frankie Gavin to make weight. Flashy young American fighter Sadam Ali has a great chance to quarters where he could be matched up against […]
