Why Wrestling > MMA.
Recently, we’ve had alot of discussions about Wrestling and MMA. Some posters believe that MMA is superior to wrestling (One of their arguments is that it’s “REAL” and, because of that, its better), whilst some think that MMA cannot hold a candle to Wrestling. Personally, I believe that Wrestling is better than MMA. At the moment, I’ve been watching wrestling for almost 10 years. I haven’t missed a Raw and Smackdown since 2002. I have watched two UFC PPVs (112 and the one with Brock losing) and I found the process to be tedious. I just don’t find the shows to be as exciting as a WWE show.
WWE Shows usually have more wrestling than their competition, but the wrestling seems to be not as important as the storyline building and entertainment side of the show. WWE stars are given a chance to develop a character and (If done correctly) then the star will be over in a similar way to what Vickie showed this past week on Raw. The, sometimes, larger-than-life characters are what makes wrestling fun and is what interests people into investing their faith in somebody.
The wrestling featured on WWE PPVs is usually good and we receive several good matches a week. For example, this week on WWE TV we have seen: Daniel Bryan/Regal, Cena/Dolph, Orton/Miz and the huge 6-man match between Del Rio, Barrett and Miz against Orton, Cena and Mysterio.
TNA is a (Somewhat) strong competitor to WWE as they do actually feature several good wrestlers who can produce great matches. They just don’t use them correctly, to produce awesome matches.
MMA is a sport (Barely) which includes two bland guys (Who haven’t had chance to connect with the audience as there is no promos) punching eachother. Sure, it would be good to see a UFC PPV when I can’t sleep and have nothing else to do, but I wouldn’t choose it over a WWE PPV.
