AdRath hit the nail on the head w/ his response.

and don't bother wasting your time neg repping me, i could give 2 shits about a meaningless point system. whatever makes ya happy tho.

I know exactly how ICP went from musicians to making their own wrestling promotion this is what these guys are basically doing going from entrepreneurs to making their own MMA show. And wearing that ridicolous face paint, goofy outfits, and the same shirt.

I would say that to their face I am not afraid of a guy who goes around saying "Major! Matt Major oh he is a future middleweight champion".

Not living in the US but in a country where MMA is not popular (official competitions are banned), I don't get to see that many people wearing TapOut gear so, this part doesn't bother me.

Regarding the Show, I find it quite entertaining and seeing newcomers I would have never heard of otherwise is a good thing. If a brand goes around the country and helps them to get some "visibility" is a great idea.

Regarding the "TapOut Crew", yes, they can be annoying but R
remember it's a show, it's made to entertain (one way or another), in my opinion, they're kind of playing a role in front of the camera, I'm not sure they're 100% like that in real life. The only one that may be is Punkass, I'm not so sure about the other 2 (although I don't know them in real life).

Apart from that, I enjoy that show, with all it positive and negative aspects.

I hope tonights episode will be alot better, for it has potential.

This is a forum, and he is discussing something related to MMA soo his post is valid. I also hate the tapout guys, After watching the first full show, and the other clips they put on ON DEMAND, I really just wish someone would **** those guys up.

Only one I can stand is the bus driver, he seems mostly normal minus that queer bandana halfway over his eyes.

I watched about 5 minutes of this show and that was about all I could stomach. Grown men who dress up in costumes and act like retards is not my idea of entertainment. This show seems like it would appeal more to the MMA fans who crossedover from the WWE and are now watching UFC.

Them dressing up is a gimick, it gets people talking about them, good or bad it is advertisement.

exactly, It's a gimmick thats trying to attract people who think that dressing up and acting like an ass is cool/funny. = wrestling fans and little kids.

It would be one thing if they were actually funny, but they are far from it.

I believe the name Tapout is refering to the wearer telling the other person to Tapout

I think as a company they are great for MMA and they seem to really care about the fighters and the "fight game". The masks, clothes and antics are a little over the top, but if you look past that it seems as though they are three guys who really care and understand MMA and want to see it succeed. But Skyscrape is still one tall homo a guy.
