Also like I said UFC translates to real life. WWE translates in absolutly no way, because you cant really slam a guy without severely hurting him and no one is going to stand there and cooperate while you try to vertically suplex them.

Yeah I understand what you mean totally, and yes UFC et all are definitely more real in that regard. But it's silly to think that a wrestler doesn't take any physical punishment throughout the course of a match. It's just funny (to me) how the whole "MMA scene" is basically like a "realer" version of pro wrestling. It's real fighting and such but they still deal with "feuds" and "pushes" and all that other nonsense.

In certain promotions there might be fixed fights. I know Pride often told people they would get paid more if they lost a certain way. The greatest thing about Dana White in UFC is that as long as hes at the helm, there will never be a scripted fight in the UFC.

Haha wow, didn't think any of them actually did fix anyhting, though at this rate I'm not overlyyyy surprised.
