Pros Vs. Joes

The new season started last night on Spike at 11 pm.  This is my new favorite show, and I always vote for the PROs.  Now, if you have seen it, you know that the pros take it easy on the Joes.  The Joes talk a lot of smack about how great they are, how they are going to show the Pros up, etc. but the Pros always show them why they make the millions.

Last night they had to wrestle Kurt Angle.  Yes, Kurt is involved in what many deem "fake wrestling" but keep in mind, not only is he a gold medal winner, but he, like nearly ALL pro wrestlers, is in PHENOMENAL shape.  Those guys go 300+ days a year, flying through the air, taking chairs, bouncing off the mat, etc.  They are in shape, and the ones who are in the top of their game are probably the perfect athlete and dudes you certainly would not want to fight.  They were talking smack to Kurt and about him in the locker room, but come challenge time, no one wanted to pick him.  The last 2 Joes got stuck with him, and it was UGLY.  The game was simple, 3 minutes in the ring, with rain coming down on them.  Who ever gets taken down the least won the challenge.  Even in the rain, with a wet ring and wet bodies, Kurt was slamming these guys left and right and absolutely dominating them, all the while not even breathing hard and smiling the whole time.  By the end of 3 minutes, the Joes were gassed and Kurt was still the same as he was at the start.

I am not sure what makes these dudes think they have anything on a Pro.  The difference between the guys who make millions to play a game and us is night and day.  They are the best of the best, and I love watching them hand these Joes their asses.  You think you are tough-get in the ring with Kurt Angle.  Go head to head with Rickey Williams.  Get in the Octagon with Randy Couture.  Hit a baseball thrown by John Rocker.  Try to score a touchdown on Bill Goldberg and Kevin Green.

Here is a great clip from an episode with Kordell Stewart.  The Joe is talking smack, and learns a lesson quick.

High school and small college AIN'T PRO. 

Good stuff-
