Thought it would be fun to watch the first 8 KOTC events. Saw westsidestrangler tap out Joe stevenson real fast and head kick ko Mckee. Some Ju-Box-Fu, Don the Dragon Wilson, Rampage Jackson vs Marvin Eastman 1, A convicted Killer. Brian Warren tear is acl and still win the fight. And knees to the head of a downed opponent. Lots of good memories were Brought back. And my favorite...Eddie Bravo'a complete non bias comentary about Jiu-Jitsu. lol

Did you miss the part about Charlie Kohler working guys laterally against the cage so he could hammer their heads against the cage support poles?
I think there were IVCs that were less brutal, just might have to break out my copies and re-watch them.
I have all the old KOTC dvd's, even the rare rare smaller events. I love those old shows and it's crazy some of the stars that came out of there.

Ya I should have posted that too. But the rest of that fight was soo aweful I tried to put it out of my mind.
KOTC wet n wild that was a crazy night.
puddle of water in my corner of the ring i took two step quickly and slid 5 feet befor eth efight.
I fought in 4 early KOTC
7, 8, 18? 38? i think.
had some good fighters on earl;y cards
Dean Lister , Jeff Newton , Brian Foster , Shonie , Lober , fun times .
Jeremy Williams RIP , Guymon , Tony Galindo
Hong Kong Phooey - Jeremy Williams RIP , Guymon , Tony Galindoi fought galindo twice first fight was alot of fun..
Freaking cecil peoples deducted a pont for me barely up kicking galindo after galindo looked at him and cried foul. No da,age done to him so I got a BS draw.
Wer fought in the rain.
Toney was so greased that he had water beading off of him.
He also didnt have to weigh in
first round was even second round all me.
fought him again right after sons birth and he won descion bytaking me down and just holding me.
I did land a nice spinning backick to his dome .
had close to 6000 peopl in the rain watching first fight. NO ONE though i was goona wiin that fight.
GutturalReef - Dude, you can find KOTC DVDs on Amazon for like a dollar....
I'm sure you can. But why would I spend the dollar and the shipping money for something I already have?? Besides I'm old school and like to keep some things from the beggining. I have 1-20 UFC, first 4 superbrowls,First 15 pride events, Extreme fighting, all on VHS. from when thats the only they came. They were not easy to find back in the day.
Wrekker no I'm going to go back and look through wet and wild. I'm watching showtime tonight.
KOTC was so much fun back then. Javi Vasquez.
Some big fights in the stands in those days as well.
I remember your fight in the rain Reggie. I didn't know you at the time and I hate to admit it, I thought you were going to lose as well. I remember after the first few minutes the crowd started rooting for you and when the "draw" was announced the boos were loud.
3 years ago , after wet and wild , it rained so hard one KOTC and was so cold in Riverside we had to leave . It was Noahs ark revisited.
oh god, Eddie Bravo on commentary. That was.....interesting.
Eddie Bravo's best line ever -
"He reverses him and has him in the 'tea bag' position!!!"
The good old days.

I watched that fight live and gave you 0 chance to beat Galindo. I have remembered you ever since and use that fight as mental prep when I think the deck is stacked against me. I remember you standing in the corner looking confident even though on paper you were overmatched.
The second fight .....he didint want to lose again and was afraid of your standup.
Isn't Javi's fight against the 4th degree blackbelt in GRACIE JJ and TKD on one of the early KOTCs? When the guy taps to the mount?
Max
All the original KOTC guys, Brennan, Kohler, etc, all put on great fights.
I think Vasquez had torn his ACL or something like that just before that fight too.
