Hey /asp/ I just turned 22 today and I'm thinking about training in MMA to ultimately reach the UFC.

I've only been in 1 (ONE) fight in my life (i won if it matters to you).. I'm pretty athletic, 5'10" and would be a Bantamweight/Featherweight, my question I guess is is it too late for me to try get into MMA in terms of trying to make it my career? Also i live in Houston, is this a good city to find good gyms/trainers to try and make a name for myself?

Any martial artists and fighters ever get grief on the streets from people? What are the subtle differences between us and normies?

As in mannerisms, I'm polite and always stay out of the way but people come up to me whenever i go out and say i look like i know how to fight, some friendly some testy. What i want to know is how tf people spot trained fighters when we look like normal people.

Lets have a thread for good old fashioned pro wrestling stories. I'm talking shoot incidents, crazy road stories, backstage pranks and shenanigans, wrestlers basically doing all the crazy shit that used to make pro wrestling great.

I will start by posting short descriptions of matches that turned into shoots and links to watch them, if possible.

To start is a more recent shoot match, Yoshiko vs Act Yasukawa from STARDOM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbD5DsLXGMs

Yoshiko, the big bitch in red, was pretty jelly of Acts rise to popularity and didn't want to drop the belt. She fucks up Act like they are in a jail yard and Act owes her cigarettes or something. She deliberately targets Acts right eye which had just had surgery. To her credit, Act never gives up and continues to try and have an actual match through this whole one sided beating.

>WWE SmackDown Live
>WWE WrestleMania
>WWE Royal Rumble
>WWE SummerSlam
>WWE Survivor Series

Notice how out of all WWE's biggest shows, SmackDown is the only one who they had to place the entire capitalized LIVE word next to the name of the show to make it relevant

> "I think it's really cool that he, he's going to be 50 years old, that he wants to come back and come back for his family and kids to see him in true time do his thing. Now, I will say, he knows, he said it himself, he's going on 50 years old and he has been away from the game for quite a long time. And for me, that should be me and Goldberg. It shouldn't be him and Brock. It has been there. They've done that 13 years ago. It's 13 years have gone by. We're in a different era now."

On the subject of WWE's Wellness Policy

> "The WWE's Wellness Policy is great. I and everybody that is a full-time wrestler there, we were tested relentlessly. And I love it and I encourage it because I know who & what I am & all the other performers there play by the rules and we all play on the same level playing field. I will say, because I heard them say, 'because Brock Lesnar's not a full-time employee, he's not required to be tested by the WWE Wellness Policy.' That is absolute f--king bulls--t. And Goldberg coming in, I don't care if he's a part-time employee or not an employee, anybody that steps foot in a WWE ring, whether it's once a year or 300 days a year, should be f--king tested. And WWE, Mark Carrano, Triple H, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Kevin Dunn, the entire Board of Executives f--king know that's the case & should be true, so it is bulls--t from a performer's standpoint that, like, I played by the rules, all these other full-time employees play by the rules, they should make sure that anybody that comes in there, Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, part-time employee or not, they are all tested the exact same [way] & those results are made public. That should be a standard that people that invest in the company, from a shareholder perspective, they should bring those questions to Vince when they have those meetings because the fact that they came out and said that about Brock, 'oh, we don't test him because he's a part-time employee' is bulls--t and everybody knows it."

Who are the least intimidating wrestlers of all time in your view? Guys who you are fairly confident you could take in a street fight no problem - due to weak looking physique or no killer instinct? Three least intimidating for me are HBK, CM Punk, and Ric Flair.
