Josh Barnett will face Tank Abbott in the main event of the Inoki Genome Federation’s August 15 pro wrestling event.
Hopefully, he doesn’t get injured attempting a Superfly Snuka and spoil his bout with Andrei Arlovski on October 11 at Affliction ‘Day of Reckoning’.
Of course a picture like this just begs for a caption.
Best submission below in the comments section wins an MMAmania.com t-shirt.

Got Roids?
C’mon, do we really need to see “Tank” lose a fight once again? His last fights have been so repetitive that I’m bound to pass on that one, even though I admire Josh.
you do realize it’s pro wrestling right?

my question is why take the risk?
Meet the next round of bachelors for “I LOVE NY III”
Now that would be Reality TV to the fullest.
“I gotta get a picture of Guys Night Out for my myspace page”
What athletic commission is allowing this fight to happen? Tank hasn’t won a fight since 2005 and is fighting a top 5 HW???? He’s 43 years old. Even if he tapped the spirit and mind of Randy Couture, he couldn’t handle Barnett.
And who is the old guy in the background?
I think this fight is going to happen in Japan.
yeah, why is barnett even taking the injury risk? that’s a pointless fight for him…
Uh, its wrestling.
he.he. they didnt know that.
Its not just wrestling its PROwrestling. Its theatre, Performing arts.
Uggghh Barnett does not belong in that pic. I bet he’s making bank though.
And is that Lawrence Taylor next to Tank Abbott or
Wayne Brady on steroids?
People do actually get hurt in pro wrestling.

that is so funny!
is that Rob van dam
Thats what I thought, RVD, Batista on bottom right bent over, and Big Poppa pump front bottom left.
that is RVD on the left. the guy you list as batista, is Tyson Tomko, who was Christian’s “buddy”, and Lashley is standing next to tank
i was just about to correct him!
So that really is lashley?
Tyson Tomko in the white Bobby Lashley standing next to Tank
That is RVD, and Lashley is in the upper right, but the Big Poppa Pump and Batista looking guys are just lookalikes I think.
I remember watching some ECW back in the day. Mad respect to RVD and Sabu and Funk for ALL of the blood that they poured out of their bodies for our entertainment.
It has been a loooong time since I watched me some wrasslin. Back when I watched, the WWF didn’t own evrything and everyone related to wrestling.
RVD 4:20 “I just smoked your ass!”
yep the RVD 4:20 thing came out after he was on the cover of High Times. the dude smokes weed like crazy. he’s super nice in person, as is Sabu.

Here is a snip from Fedor.. he would be willing to sign a 2 fight deal with the UFC..
http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=6890&zoneid=13
but fedor’s manager wants to co-promote m-1 global with the ufc. aint gonna happen.
Would Dana and the UFC let this fight happen and waive any lawsuits against Randy just to make it happen? Tough call. The problem is what do you do with either fighter when they win? If it’s a non-title fight, I could see it. If it’s for any kind of title, there is a problem. Which ever one wins would probably be in line to fight the UFC Champion. I order for that to happen, they need to sign a multi-fight deal on the UFC’s terms.
it could be for the pride hw title belt. fedor was the last to hold it and as everyone knows, zuffa owns pride. they used the pride belt both times for hendo when he fought rampage and a.silva.
Yep b.w… I don’t see happen either. Not on Dana’s watch.

Congratulations to MMAmania.com reader “James S” for the winning entry. As promised, we’ll send you an MMAmania.com t-shirt for being the best of the bunch.
With a total of 266 entries, it wasn’t easy coming up with a winner. For those of you who are scratching your heads over my pick, keep in mind this process is entirely subjective. It was all a matter of making me laugh.
Usually that honor is reserved for Mr. Mania’s physical shortcomings, but in this case it was the caption by site regular James S.
If anyone cares, Josh Barnett defeated Tank Abbott in the main event of the Inoki Genome Federation’s August 15 pro wrestling event.
