Even Old Man Taker was the fucking shit. I rewatched the two HBK/Taker 'Mania matches the other day just for shits and giggles, and for a dude with aches and pains, and worse in places where I don't even have places he surely was able to go toe to toe with the sublime work of Michaels. A lazy man could fill his Top-10 matches with Taker alone.

who dont like Take

Undertaker, Mankind’s Hell in Cell Broken Skull
"two of the most extreme bumps of all time, the first separating his shoulder, and the second one knocking him out cold with a tooth going through his nose, Foley still takes two thumbtack bumps and finishes the damn match."

Mick's a lunatic

WWE aint what it used to be, no-one can deny that WWF Attitude Era was cooler than any MMA or boxing fight.

Brock,Flair, Orton, Austin, APA Kurt Angle, Cena, Matt n Jeff Ladder matches, Big Show, Mr. Perfect, Hardcore Holley, DX, Dudley Boys TLC matches...

Foley also used Mankind, Cactus Jack - no DQ and hardcore af NO RULES

Dominick Cruz vs Rey Mysterio in their primes 10 years ago would have been a banger.

There is obviously a lot of fans of both and I think both brands appeal to a similar pool of casuals.

But not nearly as many as the media that peddles both UFC and WWE bullshit will tell you. There is still some clear divisions between the two audiences.

You are already hearing dweebs like Ariel (who I still do half-respect) pushing this narrative because it is self-serving.

Pro Wrestling and MMA (and by extension all pro fight sports) are promoted basically the same way,so of course there is endless oppurtunity for crossover appeal.

Thanks Ariel, we know this is your narrative.

But it isn't 'endless'. Many UFC fans will never be wrestling fans and many wrestling fans will never be UFC fans.

Those fans suck. Not hip. Not with it. Not doin it for me. Not ready for freddy!

and worst of all,Not bein fair to Flair.

A top 10 would be nice.

There are hundreds of such compilations on Youtube that would capture my sentiment. Happy watching!

 

[Fedor Fan]

I am a fan of wwe and prowresling in general but I like my fake wresling and my mma separate.

Ufc has already copied wwe too much for my liking.

 

[Dionysian]

WME leadership are, and that's what matters. Maybe now we can be more honest about fight fixing in the UFC.

Or maybe we'll go in the opposite direction so forums are moderated to punish people for suggesting WWE has scripted fights.

 

[BangBang]

Never been a fan of WWE, or WWF as it was known as back in the day.

It's a bit shit!

 

[turbotime]

I saw hulkster, Shawn, Bret, etc all live in Toronto and was at raw a few years ago. The entertainment value is friggen ace.

Don’t have time to watch anymore, I’ll catch the big cards when I can but those were some good times back in the day. Always be a fan

That would be fucking awesome

 

[Franklin U.]

WME would be foolish to try to mix both. UFC fans just want the product they’ve come to watch for years. Don’t try to change it.

I don't think " mixing both" is the plan. I'm not a pro wrestling guy but I understand it's unmatched popularity. I think this is a smart move as our sport will continue to lack real depth . UFC now has another enormous platform to push their product.

 

[RemyR]

I respect the guys and gals that do it but I just can't get into it. It just seems corny and forced to me. That and the some of the fans are among the dumbest of fucks I've met on the planet.

Never watched that silly crap.
