    The only wrestling/boxing match where someone got hit with a stool that I remember is the Mr. T v.s. Roddy Pipper match at wrestlemania 2.

    Marc Mero was the one who smashed the stool on Butterbean. Mero was the wrestler who looked like Little Richard on steroids, and went by Johnny B. Badd in his WcW years.

    Butterbean hits like a sledgehammer. I think nearly all the fights he has won have been done by knockout.

    lewis would probably win. lesnar just isn't trained to take a punch, and no matter how much pain you can take, it doesn't make a difference when it's desgined to hurt your brain, not your body

    Butterbean (again) fought in a real (unscripted) MMA match against Genki Sudo at K-1.

    Butterbean weighed 350 lbs
    Sudo weighed 155lbs

    Sudo isn't even the best fighter at that weight.

    Butterbean LOST by submission 41 seconds into round 2!

    who do you think is the best fighter at that weight then? considering that there is no lightweight belt in that division, it's kind of hard to make that kind of assumption...

    Sudo can beat anyone at his weight on any given night.

    Sudo

    Everybody loves Sudo, he's mad as badgers!

    He has the potential to win any given fight because he's so unpredictable, and he hasn't been stopped yet.

    But...

    He has a 9-3-1 record.
    He hasn't won any major titles (to my knowledge).
    He doesn't have many big scalps on that record.
    He hasn't dominated any organisations or put together any big runs of wins.

    I think Sudo is best summed up by an internet poll I just found.

    Currently who is the best Lightweight in MMA?
    Caol Uno 2.12% (24)
    B.J. Penn 32.92% (373)
    Jens Pulver 7.41% (84)
    Matt Serra 5.56% (63)
    Joachim Hansen 1.59% (18)
    Genki Sudo 30.80% (349)
    Duane Ludwig 8.12% (92)
    Takanori Gomi 4.41% (50)
    Javier Vasquez 3.18% (36)
    Hermes Franca 1.06% (12)
    Vitor Ribeiro 2.82% (32)
    Yves Edwards 1.15% (13)

    Total Votes: 1133

    The only guy who can beat Sudo in a popularity contest is Penn (who is technically in a different weight group!)

    But the only person Sudo has fought from the list is Ludwig, and Sudo lost...

    I'm not saying he's not great, I'm just saying he's not the best (not yet at least).
