Don't hear much about Josh Barnett on here

Thoughts on him as a pro wrestler? Fighter? Commentator? Philosophy? Etc?

He got worked into a shoot by based Chadblade.

he's one of those guys who is 30% based and 70% cringe

Fake shooter, fake tough guy and nothing without his drugs. USADA goes over.

He's taking the belt off Cringeblade at MSG

simp wizerked by the dimesblade

Definitely not a fake shooter. He could've won the ufc hw title in his prime.

I like Josh well enough, he's a good awful commentator, but liked him as a fighter and think he could be good in wrestling in a limited role. Him as a Tokyo Dome main eventer was a bad idea, but I always thought he could be ok beyond that. Interested to see how Bloodsport turns out.

Tbh him getting worked by cringeblade was a based moment

Hes still the youngest ufc hw champion ever
Still a top 5-10 heavyweight
His pro wrestling was laughable and I didn't enjoy his commentary work at all but I like him as a person and hes a good fighter

Hi Josh

It speaks more to how bad HW was. I mean he'd crush Tim Sylvia, but could get ko'd by prime arlvoski

hi Jake, start a promotion instead of sucking off the business

he's based and redpilled

this I don't respect him because he's a mark

Barnett would have smoked either of them, the heavyweights in pride were the cream of the crop

>Pro wrestler
Dog shit
>Fighter
He almost got his ass whooped by Jay White
>Commentator
Legitimate contender for worst of all-time
>Philosophy
His philosophy is to be a mark

prime sylvia was a beast, people just remember him for the fedor/mercer fights but he was a legit champ and won the belt more than once

He fought bums wtf are you talking about.
Barnetts chin was always pretty shit

This stuff looks great and it's a shame there isn't anything like it in a top 5 wrestling company in the world.
But at the same time I'm not suprised at how it can't compete with even modern wrestling today.
It's a great concept but unfortunately at the end of the day it's easy to see how people just can't get as invested or excited for something that just looks like a sparring session in a worked environment.

Isn't MMA just like WWE when it comes to juicing? Like it was just part of the business for most of it's existence and then suddenly the UFC was like "NO PEDS ALLOWED! PEDS BAD!".

Yes. After USADA was introduced a ton of the top ranked guys were basically deleted from relevance. Rashad, Wideman and Hendricks come to mind. Also TRT getting banned by Nevada ended the careers of guys like Vitor Belfort (who obviously abused it).

Oh yeah, right when he tested positive for steroids and was stripped of his title. Then he went to Japan where they didn't test fighters...really makes you think.

the top guys are still juicing dont kid yourselves

I didn’t have an opinion on him until he decided to make a match about himself by running into the ring unscripted. Now I see him as a has-been mark for himself

Atheist nerd

No shit dumbass HHH's trainer all but confirmed it

He did win the title.

Would have beat the shit out of cringeblade

Hi Josh
