WhisperingDeath Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I wish I had a fighter in there so I could get free supplements. WD haha I've been so busy putting together about 5,000 new and AWSOME AWSOME things for PRIDE I forgot about that Rollins! Rollins will be giving all participants in the Grand Prix a free package of the NonStop Nutrition product of thier choice (I suggest recovery, all my fighters use it!) Rollins, make sure to PM all the managers with fighters in the GP to ask them what supplement they would like. I know once they try it they'll be buyers for life like me!

Rollins Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Once they compete WD, they get whatever they want....whether it be strength, cardio or overall training recovery, Non-Stop-Nutrition will make sure they are the best psychical-fighting specimens they can be for the next round of progression to the semi-finals. *you getting this camera guy??????* That's right, ALL 16 participants get 1 free sample of any three products provided by Non-Stop-Nutrition, (MuscleTech--Stamanex--XtremeRecovery) after the first round of participation. Sounds great, but happens when there's 8 guy's still left standing WD????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 yeah it was based on the openweight series of posters. we need to deliver on the pride experience if we're pushing high quality gp's like this. pride will be selling out the tokyo dome one day...wait and see. ...maybe the poster will be turned into a shirt one day, heh.

WhisperingDeath Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 After losing a crushing submission to GP participant Li Fen, Michael Boulware silenced critics with a 19-second knockout destruction of Terry Grayson at PRIDE: Exhibition 4. With that impressive win Michael punched his ticket in the Heavyweight GP. But the task before him remains tall, he will be facing one of the favorites to win the tournament, #4 ranked Paul Smith.
