MMA is real pro wrestling. You can trace the lineage back and it will lead you to pro wrestling. You could even go as far as saying that MMA is just another style of the many different styles of pro wrestling, I wouldn't disagree with you. It goes back to Pride and Pancrase, which were built in the image of the old Japanese UWF from the 1980's. Go watch some of the matches from UWF and they were using Jujitsu, flying guard passes, hybrid martial arts matches that just happened to have scripted outcomes(Ali vs Inoki, the main inspiration for the UWF, wasn't scripted but was a pretty big influence on everything). The guys training the UWF wrestlers, Karl Gotch and later on Billy Robinson with the UWFI guys(Takada, Sakuraba, Anjo, Tamura, etc). Gotch trained Suzuki, Funaki, and Shamrock. Even on the Gracie side the man that taught them in the old days, Mitsuyo Maeda, was a Judo guy that learned old time pro wrestling(it was how he was making his living when he was in the US), so he basically taught the Gracies old school Judo that had been filtered through early 1900's pro wrestling.
