So is MMA/UFC/Pride/blahblahblah the "new wrestling"

[road doggy dogg]

Like remember back when WWE ("WWF" sorry) was all popular and the latest fad, everyone was into it and shit. Like not even us internet nerds, it was like accepted in the mainstream. Now it's kind of dwindling, and all the fringe watchers who kind of got into it because of Stone Cold, The Rock etc, they're all going apeshit over mixed martial arts now. I don't get it. Like every person ever is like "OMG UFC THIS WEEKEND ;SDHGSDKHGS *ASPLODE*" And I dunno it seems like basically the exact same thing except it's "more real" and such. Like I know wrestling is fake and all, but guys do still take a bit of a beating in the ring, and it's like people don't take it seriously at all (retarded WWE storylines aside, obvs) because "UFC IS SO MUCH COOLER RAR GO LIGHTWEIGHT MATCH".


I'm not sure what point I'm even trying to make, if any. I just find it hilarious how UFC and shit has basically replaced wrestling as the preferred "watching two guys beat the shit out of each other" pasttime. It's even hilarious too because looking at like this forum, people are all talking about the politics and stuff of it too, kinda like how everyone talks about wrestling and such. It's probably only a matter of time before that stuff becomes scripted too. I don't know. I'm slightly hungover and seeing the pics in the photo album forum of some guy going to an MMA show and having a "tag team MMA match" seemed entirely too gimmicky and made me think about this.
