With the premiere of the Brawl For All episode of VICE TV's Dark Side of the Ring, we figured it would be a good idea to repost the special themed episode that we did about the topic about four years ago with our good friend Jordan Breen. Not only do we look at how it was covered at the time, we also take a look how the fights technically, especially with hindsight and almost two decades of evolution to fighting. Enjoy!

----------

Kris & David are joined by Jordan Breen (Sherdog) to discuss the genesis of the Brawl for All concept from WWF in 1998 and how everything went down. We discuss all the fights and how each competitor fared good or bad. We also talked about the aftermath of the tournament and how the WWF really screwed it up plus how Butterbean became the true winner in all of this. This is a really strong show!!!!
