Stop Complaining about the Pride HW Turney
Its shaping up to be real good, but people still are complaining about it.
"TOO MANY CANS" is the number 1 complaint.
Well, first off, Pride cant get a good number of fighters that they would want to bring in. Inoki, K-1, and the UFC aint letting their fighters go no where near Pride. Dont you think Pride would like to have Barnett, Rizzo, Tim, Fujita, and Sapp? Dont you think they would want to stack their turney with those fan favorites? Well they cant due to the fact the rival events aint letting it happen
Secondly, Pride is RICH, but thats still alot of MONEY. Even if they had access to EVERY FIGTER THEY WANTED, could they afford ALL of the ones people are asking for? or would the PROFIT be greater to get he big 3, a few threats, some competitive guys, and a few fan fav cans(fan fav for Japan)? We dont know, but Pide will do whats best for the business.
Another thing people love to say "The GP is suppose to show who is the best, and this isnt the best"
Nope. Gp is simple a turney. It never stated that it would have ONLY the best come in and fight. Even if it did, it doesnt show who is the best fighter. It may show who is the toughest, who is the most luckiest, who is the most focused but not the best. To show who is the best you have beat the best with the focus on each other. Not a GP.
"Blah blah dont deserve to be there"==> This is a common one
To this I say "Says who?". If he gets the attention of fans(Japan), then he derses to be in it. Pride brings in 2 types of fighters...Good ones(got to be entertaining to stay or they get Ricco/Horn'ed) and fan favs(pro wrestlers and freaks)...I dont always agree with it, but I learned to except it.
So in wrapping this up, So far we got 9 good fighters. 9 !!! with 4 more names to be announced. The big 3 are in it. GP champion and Dark horse is back in it. Some NEW and PROMISING names are in it. This GP is going to be exciting and fun. I know there are going to be some objections but just try to enjoy. This is the playoffs, no.1 vs no.8, in this first round. Fireworks and beatdowns...maybe a few upsets. I cant wait.
