Touche
Far too many smilies in this debate, fella.
Yeah and i have told you that they are a threat you might not see it right now but over time it will happen.Granted if the WWE ever gets shutdown its not going to be because of another promotion its going to be from a different opponent,and that is the UFC.
Why exactly will it happen over time? You're just assuming that it will happen, just because. WWE is one of the biggest, most successful companies in the world. Do you really think it's going to be knocked off by a niche sport?
Yeah but we are just to people thier are millions(crowd: and millions sorry i had to do that
)of people in the world that still have an opion.Weather its the UFC or the WWE thats up to them to decide.
I'd overall, WWE and UFC are pretty similar as far as popularity goes. WWE may be ahead even. Simply looking at TV events, UFC is usually in the 1.5 range when it comes to fight nights and the low 3s when it comes to free PPVs. Raw beats both those numbers a majority of the time, proving the WWE is right up there as far as popularity goes.
Well if it's legal mind sharing some after the debate
?
You love smilies, dontchya?
Ok, so why exactly have most of the AE and older fans gone over the UFC? You said "because it's the thing to do." That's hardly evidence.
Yeah bro ima go up to guys and be like hey let me take apicture of you
If you can't do that, this point clearly has to be thrown out.
Dude are you kidding me that buy the shirts become instant billboards for you without have to pay them.This is another way of advertising with out have to shell out money.
Selling a few shirts may get you a couple million and some advertisting, but it's far from the most important thing out there.
Even so, I'm fairly certain Cena alone is close to outselling UFC as far as shirts go. Haven't found any good sources, but that's what it seems like, from what I see. Tell me if you find anything that proves otherwise.
Thank you for pointing this out.As i will take it as a complement somewhat.
You really shouldn't do that.
Well let me ask you are you really surprised that WM beat them i would actually be dissapointed it didn't beat all the PPV the UFC had to offer.That like saying the Superbowl beat all the games in views other than any other game during the season.Wouldn't you be dissapointed?
Indeed, I would be disappointed, but WM only lost out to UFC 100, which was basically the biggest card ever. The point is, the UFC may be slightly ahead of the WWE in PPV buys, but it's not as wide of a margin as a lot of people think. Plus, it may not be as important as you think. More on that later.
UFC is affecting alot of sports that are not that popular right now like wrestling.Are you for reals UFC isn't top 10 on that list.Fuck they should be top 3 if anything and i want to see this list that the UFC didnt make.
Stale matchups, declining economy, watching PPVs via other means, weak build ups to PPVs, stupid/unappealing PPV gimmicks,
Lost, the NFL, having PPVs two weeks apart, etc, etc. I could go on all day before I get to something as insignificant as the UFC.
If you actually think about it they do have things in common let me make a short list.They both have monthly PPV's
One on Saturday, one on Sunday. Usually not on the same weekend, either. Don't affect each other, for the most part.
Disney is a worldwide company as well. Are they a threat?
they have different title in thier respective industry
Huh?
they both depict violence
No. The WWE depicts violence. UFC is violence.
and they both are nonstop
Umm, what? Not sure what this really means, but UFC is far from nonstop. They have breaks in between rounds as well as quite lenghty breaks in between fights. Regardless, don't see the point here, at all.
So if you actually think about it they both are kind of the same not entirely but preety close.
Well once you look at the list i wrote for you you will see that they kind of are the same, bud.
Not really. MMA is much closer to boxing than it is pro wrestling, mainly because, you know, it's a real sport with real people fighting for real titles, while the WWE is a male soap opera based around guys with mostly silly gimmicks in little thights doing unrealistic moves and talking at lenght about their problems with each other.
Anyway, trying to clear this up a little here, with the whole PPV thing. Just look at it logically. Because UFC has higher PPV numbers than WWE on average, does that mean it is definetly a huge threat? Of course not.
You're assuming that he audience is the same for both of these sports, which it clearly isn't, being as they aren't close to the same. Therefore, it is completely illogical to suggest that because more people are buying UFC events, less are buying WWE events. There is no correlation that can be made.
As I said above, there are many other explanations that can be used for the recent lack of success in the PPV arena for the WWE, much bigger issues that UFC, which is a speciality sport.
just because buying ufc, dont mean not buying wwe. other reasons
