Chael is 100% right. And the people who don't get it are the people who think they're enlightened when they constantly point out that pro wrestling is fake. Basically as dumb as people who really think it's real imo.

Obviously we all know it's an act. But so was Muhammad Ali hating Joe Frazier. And while Howard Cosell might bust Ali's balls about his act, he's not gonna turn to the camera and go "You know this is all for show, right folks? These 2 don't even know each other, and they'd probably be friends if they did..."

There are tens of thousands of people sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings type places watching, thinking "maybe I'll have people over for the next one, and just buy it home. Maybe I'll do it when this Colby guy fights to unify the belts." Rogan completely forgot his place, and spoke directly to the casuals as if he was on a Sherdog Q&A.

Well said. As noted, those of us on these forums are the hardcore fans who know alot of all this stuff, who follow most of the fighters and follow the sport closely. But the majority of the fans are casual fans who don't come on here, who only watch when the PPV is on or if they are told/hyped by others to watch it. So for Joe to tell the PPV audience, who may or may not buy the next one, that it's all a show is really stupid.

So you believe there's no difference in speaking to hardcores on an mma podcast and speaking to casuals on a ppv, and what information those different audiences should be presented from a promotional standpoint?

What joe said didn't even expose Colby. You'd only take it that way if you already knew it was an act, which everyone does.

Chael went off about exposing the business to casuals which I don't even think joe did.

The whole thing is an overreaction of something that really didn't even occur.

You don't think hardcores can buy into the act? People on sherdog bought into it and still do.

Also in the post fight press conference, Colby himself said "I'm going to probably change into a babyface for my next fight from a heel because nobody likes Woodley".

He himself said that right after the fight, not joe. Even Colby knows everyone knows. I doubt Colby is taking this act as seriously as sonnen is.

Rogan witht he clap back. He pretty much thinks the same thing I do. That Chael is just performing. Ari trolls too.
