[@PoppysGuitar]

I don't quite know what is so great about this guy. Seems like a nice guy but jeez his whole life story is, "I was in a bar and beat the shit out celebrity X cause he was being disrespectful". The poor guy can't get a cup of coffee without someone disrespecting him. It' s amazing, he never gets arrested or sued because he buys them dinner and they are all friends again. This guy has such a hair trigger I would be afraid to say hi cause he would come at me for being disrespectful. PS anyone notice all his star stories are about celebrities from the 1980's?

Zito is for real, expert in 8 martial arts, and I believe was National amateur Heavyweight Champion. These guys are probably friends, don't think they'd be going at it.

[@SR-hf3hx]

@ThugxLove it's different...but similar. The way they hint and foreshadow and make you think it's amazing, similar to the sopranos in that way. But if you grew up in a city in the northeast, the wire feels real. That's why I give it a nod over sopranos slightly

[@thebubbacontinuum2645]

Has he ever hit anyone who could fight back? I don't mean hitting a drunken Van Damme without warning while he was trying to stand up. Zito is a self-described liar. Van Damme is known for admitting his own faults. Van Damme denied Zito's version of the story and challenged him to get in the ring, "disrespecting" him in an interview, saying Van Damme would win in 60 seconds. Zito failed to man up and answer the call. Van Damme was a legitimate kickboxing pro, with a 19-1 record in full-contact bouts. Zito's Wikipedia page says he has a 36-5 record as a boxer, but Boxrec says it's actually 2-3, and he was a welterweight, so he was 147 pounds or less.
