Why do people hate on the WWE and love UFC?

2 are totally different, both require a super level of skills to do well. Pro Wrestlers are probably even tougher than any MMA guys. You can say pro wrestling is staged blah blah blah. But the shit they subject their bodies to day in day out is crazy. I no longer watch Pro Wrestling, haven't since WCW went off the air. But I watched it understanding it was scripted, but still very athletic and tough to do. The average WWE guy couldn't make it in MMA, but the average MMA guy couldn't make it in WWE either. No sense in comparing the 2.

Yeah, there's a reason so many WWE guys end up addicted to painkillers. Staged or not, it's brutal on them.

They mostly swing and miss and then end up hugging and humping until one of them needs to go rub one off and gives up.

Haha that is true, I have seen some UFC fights that are super horrible like that, we just point and laugh and call them gay, while eating nachos.

Then you get the single punch wins, those are always funny. Just so happens the winner connects a very good punch and the opponent is instantly down lol.
 
I watched the WWE a few days ago because it was on in a restaurant I was at.

Those guys were "kicking" each other in the face and other stuff like that while showing no signs of injury at all. Its a bunch of crap.

I assure you there are more concussions in WWE than all other pro sports combined. Last fight I got into I got knocked out cold, I was laying asleep for about 2 minutes. When I came to, I got up and didn't have a mark on my face. I guess it was crap too? Watch more matches you'll see blood and bruises and broken bones occurring quite often.

Those guys are throwing each other around, but are they actually hitting each other? It doesn't seem like they are.

They pull the punches but there's still contact and they still hurt, they're obviously not trying to KO each other, but there is damage. The knife edge chops to the chest area are pretty vicious. I remember on some TV show somebody was telling Scott Steiner (a pro wrestler) that the hits were fake, so Scott hit the dude with a knife edge chop and the guy was on the ground wheezing like he just ran a marathon. When he finally got up he didn't have anything else to say lol.

Even half cocked a punch from a big strong dude's still going to hurt.

I'll take that bet without hesitation.

Rugby is by FAR the sport with the most amount of concussions.

(Japanese people bowing towards each other causes a couple of deaths each year so i'd think it's safe to say that more concussions come from that than from any WWE BS kissymatches)

Good because you'll lose, do you have Paypal and how much do you want to bet? *i'm serious* I'm not talking only WWE but all professional wrestling. Remember there are far more wrestlers in the world than Rugby players, and a lot of wrestlers wrestle 200+ times a year, some close to 300. Still interested in betting me?
 
Now Felix is a troll. great.

You must be an idiot to not see the major difference. MMA is the epitome of true fighting. WWE is a soap opera.

OK, let's rock then you stupid twat, you said "I assure you there are more concussions in WWE than all other pro sports combined".

I said that i'll take that bet, as much as you can possibly afford is what the bet will be.

Let's start off lightly with you selling everything you have, maxing out all credits you have and lending everything you can from everyone you know.

And no, i don't have paypal but i'm sure i can arrange something.

MMA would be ok if every single fight wasn't just a big cuddle party or fixed.

I've seen my fair share of real knockouts and i have yet to see one in any MMA match.
 
The only difference between the two is that in UFC you're supposed to hit each other, in WWE you accidentally hit each other. Both are Soap Operas whether you like it or not. Storylines always get the biggest and baddest bouts in UFC and bring in the biggest money which is why they do it. No real difference between the two.
