unpopular opinion: many amateur wrestlers went to the UFC because WWE was too hard.

[iwillbebackin3weeks]

many many fighters said that.

do you agree?

if pro wrestling was not so hard, then more amateur wrestlers would go to WWE.

im not trolling ... im srs.

many fighters said that wwe training + wwe fight is much harder.

 

[suffersystem]

WWE is insanely hard on the body, and they have a crazy schedule on the road 300 days a year.

Don't they have to pay for there own travel 100% as well?

 

[Shocktagon]

Well, yeah. The model of pro-wrestling that WWE follows ruins and prematurely ends lives.

You require the right looks/persona & mike abilities more than actually wrestling abilities. Look at Hulk Hogan! Even long before his back injuries.

A quick search in the lightweights says different.

Prowrestling (especially at the WWE level) is a lot more gruelling than people are willing to admit. You're basically on the road the entire year, and besides the mega-stars (Cena, Bork, Undertaker etc...) You don't get any breaks/vacations.

Not to mention the whole training and development process.

Professional Wrestlers today are way better in health than the wrestlers of yesterday

Wrestlers used to abuse pain killers, do loads of coke, and went to bars all the time on the road

Today wrestlers play video games, stream on Twitch, and drink protein shakes

Many fighters? How many fighters? Probably a handful. That's not that many.

Also, many amateur wrestlers have no personality. And that's what sells in WWE.

charisma is a necessity in pro wrestling and you cant make it in that line of work with a dull personality (like 99% of mma fighters have).

I don’t get why some obvious trolls are getting away with constantly making threads. Mods have gotten too restrained with the ban hammer

Lesnar quit his original wwe run to do mma cos the life was too hard. He hated the constant travel and was on a steady diet of vodka and painkillers.

He only came back cos his star became so big he could pick and choose his schedule to be far lighter.

Hes bounced between them since cos thats what pleases him.

It is generally known pro wrestling is harder than mma as a lifestyle.

WWE schedule is tough. I don't think training is as bad as MMA but you perform all the time. You also don't have regular friends or family since you travel so much
