i'd like rather see a singles hardcore/death match between honma and funk, that would be cool. i saw a pretty good match between aj and kaz in roh, i'm sure they could put on another 1. the rest of the card i'm not so sure about, but i'd gladly watch it.

Makes me wish that Chris Benoit wrestled on that card. Sucks that AJ Styles lost.

[Headhunter]

Huh, I always thought K1 was MMA...shows what I know about overseas wrestling.

oh it is. Wrestle-1 is K-1's attempt to compete with Pride's pro wrestling promotion, HUSTLE.
