Media Dana White Has Started Actively Recruiting Pro Wrestlers

That’s pretty smart. I’m not sure the pro wrestlers would go for it, though. The top guys are probably all well paid by the WWE.

But we know that big name pro wrestlers would bring their fanbase with them. The more eyes the better. Lesnar brought a lot of eyes with him when he went to the UFC. He definitely helped to make it more mainstream.

But, I couldn’t tell you the name of even one single current WWE star. I haven’t watched it in over 30 years.
 
Said the rugby player.
Yeah rugby is a real sport though isn't it. And professionals are well paid are they not?

It's also highly skilled and involves incredibly in depth training and preparation.

So no. There aren't any similarities between rugby union and this cheap, lowest common denominator effort.

Sorry mine was a lazy post and I should’ve clarified much better my stance

I respect rugby as a sport and have many friends that played on college and club levels

I hate the idea of power slap and have never watched a moment

My point/joke was everyone I know that played rugby got injured. ripped up Knees & ankles, cracked ribs, chipped tooth, stitches, and post game alcohol poisoning.......and none of them ever got paid a dime

Best sport for camaraderie I've ever seen but the rate of injuries I saw was ridiculously high and most of them fairly serious.

Hope that explains it better.
 
This Power Slap project must have very little overhead, that must be the only reason they are still going forward with it. I can't imagine this ever turning into a legit money maker.
 
They say Power Slap is fun if you go to it... but, on TV pretty stupid. Maybe Pro Wrestlers will get more fun out of the events for those at home.

At least the fun wrestlers or winner should get a shot at WWE.
 
"BOOOOSS...MAAAAAAN!!!"
Haha man he scared the crap outta me when I was a kid, it seems he wasn't playing a part either and was violent in real, he beat the snot out of Vince and was fired.

Nailz would be enough to make any man never commit a crime and go to the slammer lol.

I was also terrified as an 8 year old Bobby. Didn't deter me from eventually ending up at his house though lol
 
I figured pro wrestlers were too intelligent to get involved in this embarrassment of an event.

next show should be called ball smashers. where dudes just kick each other in the balls as hard as they can at this point.

The one thing Dana would be champion in.

All that steroid abuse shrunk them so much there's no target.
