Fair enough. I just don't get it, but to each his own.

Haha I feel ya man. I used to be kinda shy about being a wrestling fan but eventually I just said Fuck it. I love watching Pro Wrestling and mma for different reasons. Kinda like how I love comic book movies but will find certain documentaries fascinating
 
It looks ridiculous when WWE tries to implement elements of MMA into their product. I should say "more ridiculous."
 
This is an old video, no? Pretty sure I watched this in '08-'09

Why watch fake fighting when you can watch real fighting?

It's not fighting; it's dancing that looks like fighting. We watch it for the dancing.

Disagree. Apples and oranges. Also, wrestling has SUCKED for years and is truly dying, and that has nothing to do with MMA.

The existence of MMA on a high profile scale (UFC) hurts the business of pro wrestling. Try watching a real fight and then a wrestling match... the wrestling match will look utterly ridiculous. Before MMA was so commonplace people didn't think anything of silliness like rear chin locks on a guy sitting on his butt and grimacing but not actually attempting to get out of the hold.

Naah...kayfabe went out the window long before the Monday Night Wars. The real problem is there are no new stars to keep wrestling interesting.

i watch both, i enjoy both
i recognize each for what they are and what they are supposed to be

its simple really, nothing to get so worked up about

and yes UFC is cutting into the demographic the WWE is targetting, but unless the UFC can pull of a show of the scale of wrestlemania, i think WWE will do just fine. As for the indie promotions, they have their loyal hardcores which wont leave

The last wrestlemania pulled in 259,000 buys.

The UFC is booking their top guy right, WWE isn't.

That's really the difference, isn't it?

WWE - better production.
UFC - better booking, unscripted promos.

UFC draws WWE fans because it stayed attitude era. Heebok era is the PG era of UFC. Sage is basically MMA's future Cena and Cody Phister is his CM punk. Conor is a throwback - he's prime Roddy Piper and Aldo is Snuka.
 
Not really, id probably still sometimes watch if it wasnt such cheesy drama. Ironic imo that american pro wrestling died when nwo did.
 
Again, since the interview posted is NINE YEARS OLD (great job TS), let's take it in context .
9 years ago, UFC was in the midst of becoming trendy with TUF.
Wrestling fans were hearing about Brock wanting to try MMA & he had his K1 fight.
It was easy to see people that watched WWE go "hey lets check this out!".
Now that UFC is mainstream, it harder to judge how one hurts the other.
Add in the big factor of WWE moving away from PPV & a lot of the metrics don't line up.
 
When is the last time the wwe created a superstar? How can you have full control over your product and outcomes and it still is stale and boring?

Fucking Triple H is the champion/Royal Rumble winner in 2016. They have no clue what people want to see.

Kevin Nash says that the UFC is hurting the pro wrestling business. What are your thoughts on this?

I don't give a shit what Kevin Nash thinks.

it probably is though. Low class people have only so much money to spend i.e. only so much PPV money to go around.
