Could Ronda drive WWE fans back to UFC?

[mmacasualviewer]

Some WWE fans get sick of their product from time to time; and will especially get sick of Ronda especially.

The only funny diva storyline in the last few years was Stephanie punking Punk fans on how long his UFC appearance and the punk chants lasted in seconds.

The similar drama of UFC without the Ronda will be a big selling point.

Part of the current upward trend of UFC from 2014 to 2016 with Conor & Lesnar was when CM Punk talked about the so called BS anti-bullying message of the WWE.

WWE has lost Lesnar, CM Punk and Jack Swagger as exclusive product lines during that time.

They lost Lesnar? Didn't he just defend their big title at the Royal Rumble a few days ago?

no.

We'll see what support is left. I suspect the two losses and her responses to them have outed her real personality and character and her fandom will be limited to people who watch for curiosity, many of whom will turn off once they realize how awful she is as an actor and entertainer.

They will be aight


But for the business of the WWE, she is already tremendously influential, and successful, at least short-term.
Rousey received more media fanfare for her WWE debut than anyone has for comebacks, including when Lesnar returned in 2011 after being UFC’s biggest drawing card, and when The Rock returned after becoming a bonafide movie star. It is usage of celebrities out-of-the-box that have historically paid huge dividends for the company.

Hopefully not. But ultimately it depends how much space she has in her car.

Have you seen WWE fans? They are exactly what she needs..

 

[FleximusPrime]

Personally I think they should hold the biggest WWE in history to gather all of their fans in the one place at the one time and then .....

.. and then..

.... The end.

It would be interesting to see the stats of the decline in viewership for WWE, I dont see how anything can really bring it back, what each new generation values as good entertainment is IMO more and more the opposite of what is WWE.

 

[The Natural Born Runner]

Why exactly would a failing UFC star going to the WWE, make WWE fans watch the UFC?

I don't see the correlation.

 

[NRG]

lol @ lost Jack Swagger, dude was a midcard jobber, and Lesnar performed last weekend.

I think you are very insecure.

 

[NRG]

Drama builds on it's own, you don't need to angle shit.

lmao

 

[ninja boot]

I don't care enough to follow but I'm curious how much effect she really has on their ratings. I imagine her first few appearances are popular with but the truth is ronda is a really terrible actress and her appeal stemmed from her dominance which obviously took a major downturn . I can't imagine she's a lock as a career wwe superstar.

 

[magicmarker]

I don't understand how they all haven't come over already. UFC is the biggest fucking soap opera I've ever witnessed. No WWE plotline, no TV show, no Latin telenovela them grandmas watch has ever come close to the complexities and intrigue of introducing an interim belt.

Plus, you get actual fights and actual people living actual lives here. How can fake shit compete?

Shael always quotes Vince, says you can't control the stars if you can't control the outcome. Well, the star of UFC (MMA in general) is chaos. It's the fact it's real. Drama builds on it's own, you don't need to angle shit.

But I'm trailing off...

They should want to come over. I'm not sure if I want them to come over, though.

+1

but the truth is ronda is a really terrible actress

WWE success requires good acting?

WWE success requires good acting?

sure it does. consider that she has to build her shitty rivalries behind a microphone long before she throws 15 arm-bars in the royal rumble for the capacity crowd of 25 year old virgins that would drink her bathwater.

All these Ronda/WWE threads in a UFC forum

 

[Bluesbreaker]

Neither fanbase is missing much.

Brock came back after two (per the specialists here in the heavies) embarassing losses and is still their biggest star. The majority of wrestling fans can't even name the chicks Ronda fought and will give her a chance.
