If wwe is your thing, that's fine, I don't judge, I just don't see the appeal when the real thing is out there with MMA

If you could, please explain it to me, I really don't get it

well yeah of course its different and i like MMA too. big fan of Brock Lesnar.

i like it for the story lines, humor and drama to be completely honest

Gotcha, and Lesnar is good, he needs to work on his technique or people are going to scout him.

I'm surprised more wrestlers aren't going over to MMA after Brock's success.

Depends on their background. However, I do think MMA is easier on the body

 

[dkwrtw]

a lot easier on the body, a lot of those guys are just body builders though and couldn't make it in MMA, there are some that I think could though.

 

[Peter Parka]

Not to mention wrestling is just a pantomime, I'm not saying what the guys put their bodies through isn't hard but there is no competition in it.

 

[dkwrtw]

that's why they can't call it a sport anymore, they have to call it "Sports Entertainment", people watch it for the storylines and the humor, everyone knows it's not an actual competition, even though I'm not a fan I can still respect the wrestler's dedication to their line of work, they wreck their bodies for it and are on the road pretty much constantly.

i would say MMA is more physically demanding cause it is real comp. and Wrestling is more Mentally demanding cause of the schedule story lines, traveling most of the year, backstage politics ect.

Bobby Lashley was a former WWE star getting into MMA

Ken Shamrock was a MMA and came to WWE and then went back to MMA

i wouldnt be suprised if Vince made a MMA organazation

no, Wrestling is far harder on the body, they get no down time, their doing shows every week whereas fighters fight once every few months or so, wrestler's bodies are constantly getting banged up, dangerous stunts off the top ropes, getting slammed over and over again on the mats, Shamrock was never the same after going to WWE.

I don't know about that. WWE guys get no breaks, they are constantly on the road. MMA is very demanding when it comes to physical shape, but Fighters don't take the same amount of abuse wrestlers do regularly

 

[dkwrtw]

I don't see Vince ever promoting MMA, he should stick with Wrestling, with a guy like Vince running an MMA promotion there would always be the question of whether or not the fights are worked, I don't think he'd even bother trying to do another sport after the Failure that was the XFL anyways.

You can't control MMA, Dana tries that and it rarely works

 

[dkwrtw]

I heard a while back that Shane McMahon wanted to start an MMA Promotion, whatever happened with that?

This is a picture of Shawn Michaels on next week's Smackdown. He basically mocks the Undertaker.

 

[Peter Parka]

Yeah, HBK v The Undertaker is going to be the highlight of Wrestlemania, think the Undertaker will continue his unbeaten run there though I wouldn't be surpised in Michaels beats him a week or so later and he retires for good. I've always been a huge fan of the Undertaker but he hasn't been nearly as good lately and its a shame this match didn't happen a couple of years ago instead of that stupid Mark Henry coffin match.

 

[dkwrtw]

eh, should of had him against the russian guy.

March 17, 2009
DETROIT, MI - Former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Tim Sylvia was involved in a fight at a bar in downtown Detroit Michigan with 7 foot, 320 pound WWE Superstar, Glen 'Kane' Jacobs (pictured above).

No details are currently being released on how the fight started. A witness says the two were arguing and Tim Sylvia instigated the fight. Jacobs quickly took Sylvia to the ground and repeatedly punched him in the face. The bartender along with a bystander helped pull Jacobs off Sylvia. Sylvia was said to have suffered a broken nose and a black eye.

The police were notified but since the fight was not prolonged and neither men wanted to press any charges, no arrests were made. Sylvia was driven by a friend who was with him to the hospital to treat the broken nose. Glen Jacobs left the scene with his wife shortly after.

More details to be released as they come in.
