Comments on: On Friday, I Hate The Contender http://www.boneinthefan.com/on-friday-i-hate-the-contender.html Guaranteed since 1789. Irritating almost as long. Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:52:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Brad http://www.boneinthefan.com/on-friday-i-hate-the-contender.html#comment-621 Brad Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:56:26 +0000 http://www.boneinthefan.com/?p=251#comment-621 I'd be lying if I didn't have some real doubts about it, but I will give it another shot. Frankly though, I'm just not sure I CAN get past the fake drama. And if the fights are good, then they shouldn't need to be counter-acted, n'est pas? As an aside, just caught the replay of Smith/Lawler II and was sadly disappointed in Smith's performance. Though his frank admission of his stupidity made me like him more.

If you can get past the post production "drama" that they add through the magic of editing, the show is actually great. The training and the fights are well worth it.

You know why? Because John Wayne Parr is hot and you want to see who fights next. I guarantee that you watch it next week. You know why?
