By now, we've all heard of the famous dojo challenges where fighters would come into another fighter's dojo and challenge him to a fight. One of the more famous is the Helio Gracie/Masahiko Kimura fight where the Japanese fighter came to Brazil to challenge one of the founders of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Last week, I showed you professional wrestler Jeff Jarrett's Double-M-A exhibition in the ring as part of his new-found MMA expertise. This week, Jarrett has taken his show on the road to a local martial arts dojo to beat up on the pupils. 

To the left you have the multi-time WWE World Champion and Hart Dungeon graduate Chris "Y2J" Jericho and to the right you have the infamous Yoshihiro Takayama. This took place during the recent WWE tour of Asia. Takayama is probably best remembered by the readers of this site as the "blonde Japanese guy" in the fight of the decade against the Don Frye. What many of you may not know is that Takayama was actually a pro wrestler in Japan. Takayama held the prestigious All Japan Triple Crown Heavyweight title among others before, as many Japanese wrestlers did at the time, trying his hand at MMA.

To be honest, this probably would've been just a fanshot if it was only one picture. However, this is not the first time these two icons of their industries have faced off before. Below is a picture of them facing off at another event years before. Plus, I get to post the video of Takayama/Frye. How many times can you watch that and not fall in love with it?

The pics and the video after the jump.

It was reported yesterday that 3 WWE superstars attacked a women in the early hours of the morning. The superstar in question, who did the "Bitch Slappin'" is Greg "Hurricane" Helms. Not only did he attack 3 people including Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy in the back of the taxi that all 5 of the persons were traveling in early on the morning of the 28th. When the Taxi driver proceeded to pull over as the event took place. Helms and Hardy both ran away from the gas station were the driver had stop to call the cops. Helms later returned and was arrested along with Jericho for public acts of drunkenness. However Matt Hardy thought that the best idea was to keep on running, its unclear where he is now.

There is many gut-bustingly funny aspects to the store, none the least that the bail for the two men was just $120. Adding to the embarrassment of the whole event for the WWE, it just so happened that on the day after the attack Helms was featured on their website as the "Superstar of the Day" Communication FAIL?... I think so?!

This is not the first time that there has been problems for the WWE press office regarding Chris Jericho. In November he was again in the spotlight for calling a gay man a "fag" and announcing that "Albinos don't really exist" 

MUGSHOTS!

And people say that MMA is barbaric, I say to them, "you let your children watch WWE shows every week?" On that note I want to know were Helms learned Muay Thai strikes

These two teams of Russian nine-year-olds proved that if you put a bunch of kids in pads and helmets then give them sticks they will probably start fighting one another.

707 minutes of penalty time were handed out, which surpasses the 691 minutes of penalty time handed out at a professional hockey game earlier this year.

For the record WKR can't stop laughing at the parents who nonchalantly walk into the melee.

Brawl Watch is WKR's effort to illustrate the hypocrisy shown towards MMA and MMA fans, because heaven forbid that fights are entertaining to watch.

It has been a while since we had a segment of Brawl Watch. WKR just wanted to save ourselves for a really good fight outside the world of MMA.

Lo and behold the Russian hockey gods stepped in to give us a brawl that caused the game to be canceled just three minutes and forty-six seconds into the first period since there were no players available to continue the game as 691 minutes of penalty time were handed out.

Oh hockey, how WKR adores you.

It's time for another edition of Brawl Watch, WKR's effort to illuminate the hypocrisy shown towards MMA and MMA fans, because heaven forbid the fact that fights are entertainment. 

Here we have a classic baseball brawl. One player "offends" the other and in the name of baseball "honor" and "decency" we can't have that. Really it reminds me of some 17th century duel from Barry Lyndon. But far be it from me to criticize to time honored tradition of baseball fights, that would make me look like a hypocrite. 

One thing is for sure the fans loved it as the gleefully throw trash onto the field. It's almost as if people enjoy a good fight. Who knew?

Oh, Brawl Watch, how I missed you.

The above video is from Game 1 of the Mann Cup, Canada's national lacrosse championship. These young lacrosse players decide to get a little frisky after a player goes down. The fans end up being treated to 10 minute brawl worth 173 penalty minutes and boy, do they love every minute of it.

Now if this was an MMA event we would be defending our sport against editorials calling MMA 'the newest form of gladiatorial blood sport' or 'human dog-fighting'. Since this won't happen I thought I would put on my John Canzano hat and do a little role playing with this incident.

"Damn lacrosse! It's a horrible sport that encouages violence. There is a reason why the Native American's called it the 'little brother of war.' It sickens me that our society is embracing mock warfare as a form of entertainment. What does it say about who we are or how our society raises our children. That's not even the worst part. The fact that the crowd and fans cheered it was repulsive. How are those people even human beings. I submit we kick them out of our species. Call them Homo violent-scumbagsia and get them the hell out.

I think I channeled my inner Jay Mariotti pretty well. Hopefully I get hired by the Tribune. Maybe not.
