PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jake Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Al Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roberts comes into the arena with The Legion of Doom Theme blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bundy's choice of entrance music: Love & Marriage. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
