the Old Wandy has been dead for 18 months

he hasn't looked "the same axe murderer" in bout 18 months. Why are people surprised he is losing? Look at the CC fight and the Hendo fight, he never even looked liked he was in those fights.

As for Chuck they where both so bad they made each other look better.

Gutted that Wandy is gone but it has to happen to all the greats at one time or another :-(

So both Chuck and Wanderlei looked good, in what was supposed to be both guys' comeback fight, and you conclude they looked good because they were so bad.

Nice.

None of them impressed me, they both seemed to lack the killer instinct they used to have, both fighters had chances to finish the fight and they never took advantage of it.

I don't know, Wandy looked good against Hendo in the first round.

Actually, he rocked him with a four-five punch combination that had Hendo in trouble right before the bell.

Second round different story.

In the first fight with CC, Wandy would combo his way in until the clinch where he'd try for the takedown.

Cro Cop couldn't get busy enough cause Wandy kept rushing in.

Why Silva didn't follow the same gameplan in their second fight is nuts.

He looked Old Wandy Vs. Mirko, after Mirko he didn't look his old self anymore.

Because Mirko at OWGP was at his best, was more accomplished than in first fight with Silva.
Silva couldn't take him down anymore as in the first fight and Mirko wasn't afraid of being taken down by Silva anymore.

As sad as that sounds, I think it's completely true.
