Irish Whip Fighting: Learning To Photoshop

About The Name

Many of our readers wonder why our name doesn't have "UFC" or "MMA" in it. We think that too many sites begin or end with those acronyms (one of the main reasons we're such good pals with Martial Base). Truth be told, IWF started as a wrestling and MMA site, and the "Irish Whip" is one of wrestling's most hard-hitting moves. We also thought that a "whip" could be another name for biting, on-point commentary, the same commentary we hope to provide here. The name stuck, we couldn't change, and well...we just like being different than all the rest. Providing quality insights, no more or less news than you need to know, and the absolute best interviews on the web (seriously, how do we get all those guys? -- Liddell, Henderson, Ken Shamrock twice each), we like to think we're doing a pretty good job.

Learning To Photoshop

Check out the hands of "Edge" in the new Vengeance poster. A decent high school yearbook staff knows how to photoshop correctly, but apparently, the WWE does not. If they could've screwed up Lashley or Cena, we wouldn't have a problem here, but making a mistake with the only competent wrestler on the promo is just unforgivable. The Irish Whip has been making fun of this promo for months and now it's gotten even worse.

This promo was released a few months ago, right after WrestleMania 23. Since the mistake (which has been floating around since Lashley lost his belt to McMahon at Backlash in April), the WWE has slowed its release of promos. The furthest released promo is currently the one for The Great American Bash, which will be held in a little over a month. Rey Mysterio is on the front.
