You ever heard the saying "you couldn't make this stuff up", well that right there is why WWE will never have the emotion and unpredictability that UFC does..

Plus, Joe Silva (UFC's head match maker) knows the sport through and through so that's why you get so many great match-up..
The element of realism is key... but again, that's what hurts the wwe. Suspension of disbelief is one thing, but when everything flat out insults your intelligence is makes the viewer not want to watch.

UFC is kicking their ass in ppvs because they are building compelling fights that mostly deliver. And they build their fighters well and they build their fights well. It's not EXACTLY the same thing, they just have similar platforms.

If WWE managed to make everything mean something like everything means something in the ufc, and made things unpredictable like it used to be, they'd be way better off. I mean right now they don't need to since they're the only show in town and running a successful business, but still, for the sake of the viewer.

Just because it's scripted does not mean it has to be lame and predictable.
