Slim Pickns
Has Been Drafted To RAW
This being a wrestling board would make it seem like this isn't needed. Wrestling, should most certainly gather more interest than MMA on a forum title Wrestlezone. However, we do have a few resident MMA fans here that I know are dying not only to do away with the MMA bashing that goes on here, but maybe if get a few of you guys to watch as well. It is still growing in popularity and is not going away soon.
Now, in no way am I bashing pro wrestling here. What I am pointing out is why I started turning to MMA over Pro Wrestling some years ago.
First and foremost, MMA is legit. I will never doubt the true athletic abilities of the WWE, TNA, or any indy superstars. There are for the most part legit athletes. However, the outcome of their matches are determined on who entertains the most, not who is the more impressive specimen. Plus, I can't even count on how many time I have heard people complain that they new *random wrestler* was going to win the Royal Rumble, World Title, or whatever match they were in. When you get into MMA and get behind a certain fighter or fighters, you never know whether they will win or not. Since most of you seem to like to go for the shock factor than maybe MMA is a better choice than the WWE.
MMA is also a true sport that is all about honor. Though it is marketed as a bloodsport because that is what gets people to watch, MMA fighters have nothing but respect for their opponents. I trained at Brock Lesnar and Sean Sherk's gym for a while. The jujitsu students who defeated me simply told me what I did wrong and how to fix it. I was simply amazed that 20 some year old males didn't rub it in that they just whooped my ass. I'm not saying there isn't honor in WWE, but I am saying you won't have an MMA superstar politic his way to the top. More importantly it shows that when people bash MMA for being a bloodsport (Bill O Riley, I'm looking at you), it only shows their ignorance to the sport.
So which do you prefer? Pro Wrestling? MMA? Both? Why do you chose to watch one and not the other, or why do you get into both.
