Santino Marella announces retirement

20140706-181959.jpg

It is being reported on the inter webs that according to fans it attendance at the “WWE LIVE” show in Toronto CA today, professional wrestler Santino Marella (real name Anthony Carelli) announced his retirement. Santino was billed as Italian but really is Canadian. According to fans Marella came out and said he’s suffered his third neck injury and he’s sorry he can’t preform anymore but is proud to be Canadian.

Santino Marella made his debut in 2003 as a fan in the crowd who challenged the late Umaga for the IC title and actually ended up winning the title with a little help from Bobby Lashly

He was a face his entire time with the WWE & served predominately as a comedic relief. One of his most memorable moments was his “Santina” persona who just so happened to win the very first “Miss Wrestlemania battle royal” at Wrestlemania 25

On behalf of everyone here at DTRTwrestling we would like to wish Santino all the best and thank him for the memories.
Are you a fan of Santino and are you saddened by the news? What is your favorite Santino moment? Let us know.

Ronda Rousey injuries.

20140706-104404.jpg

Don’t let the headline scare you. Rousey did indeed sustain injuries last night in her title defense against Alexis Davis but nothing to serious. The 1st being a hand injury. Apparently Rousey has been working with this injury for quite sometime. She’s had it ever since before her fight with Sarah Mcmann in February. Rousey says in her last two fight camps she kept ripping her knuckle open and she wrapped it up dismissing it as nothing serious. She admits she should’ve taken it more seriously because the ripping of the knuckles eventually became a cyst. With the punches she landed on Davis the cyst popped requiring the champ to get 9 stitches. Rousey now says she hopes the cyst is gone now but will be going to the doctor to get it checked out

The 2nd injury isn’t a injury rather then a precautionary measure After years of combat she’s going to get her knee scoped out. She says its nothing serious but it’s more of maitnence she needs to be doing. In a post fight interview last night she says she expects to be out for four weeks. She also had this to say about her injuries. “It’s my right hand and my right knee. It’s cool I’m left handed anyway”

UFC 175 results

20140706-101059.jpg

UFC 175 took place from Las Vegas Nevada at Mandalay Bay Casino (last night on July 5th) with it being fight week and all it was sure to be an exciting card and I gotta say it indeed delivered. There were two titles on the line. The middleweight title and the women’s batemweight title. The 1st title defense featured Ronda Rousey (C) vs Alexis Davis, in a bout that lasted an astonishing 16 secs! Rousey came out swinging and hit Davis with an overhand right which by this time Davis was already rocked. Rousey then delivered one of her infamous judo throws followed up by a series of punches to the face of Davis which called for a stoppage by the referee.

In the second title bout we saw Chris Weidman (C) vs Lyoto Machida. Let me just say this fight was an AMAZING thrill ride. The bout went all 5 rounds, the first two easily belonging to Weidman the third and forth could’ve been anyone’s game and the 5th had Machida finishing strong. In the end the judges scored it as a unanimous decision in the favor of weidman.

So there you have it both Americans retained their titles last night in champion like fashion.

Other note notable mentions goes to Stefan Struve and Matt Mitrione their bout was called off when (the returning Struve) blacked out in the locker room.
Another stand out fight for me would be the one between Uriah Hall and Thiago Santos in which Uriah won via unanimous decision dispute a broken toe that was sticking outside of the skin. That’s a heart of a true fighter
forsure. You can check out the full results here

All and all I really did enjoy this card even if the main reason why I paid only lasted 16 secs. What did you guys think? Did you enjoy UFC175? Let us know.

Rousey vs Davis (in photos)

The co main event last night at UFC175 featured the undefeated UFC women’s Batemweight champion Ronda Rousey defending her title against challenger Alexis Davis. Now for this fight I hope nobody went to use the restroom or went to get snacks because by the time you would’ve gotten back to your tv it would’ve been over. In fact the walk out entrances were longer then the actual fight itself! The fight lasted all of 16 secs! With Rousey picking up the win via TKO. This is Rousey’s 2nd TKO win of her career and the fastest bout she’s ever had while competing in the UFC. I will be doing another post later about UFC175 as a whole but for now please enjoy these pictures of Rousey vs Davis
