How many times can you see Brock Lesnar fight on free tv between PPV fights?

You know that people can't actually fight that many times and not have severe health problems, right?

That is the only drawback to real fighting. The way some of these guys are, if they could do it every day, you know they would. But they can't, not without getting brain damaged. Never mind that it's on pay per view.

The point of this thread is to look at WWE's shortcomings and how they've allowed MMA to take their place. At the height of the nWo, I had a wolfpac shirt and you know what used to happen? Every time I wore it, didn't matter where I was people would throw up the wolfpac hand sign or the 4 life hand sign. Complete strangers. I could wear a WWE shirt now and people would just be like "you big gay."

WWE got complacent once they were on top with no competition. They stopped trying to be the best because they were the best on a technicality. They started putting a stop to all the things that made them great. They held down a lot of people and elevated other just to be fed to HHH. Meanwhile, MMA was picking up in the rest of the world. UFC was reorganizing into a legit organization with weightclasses, rules and real athletes. Where were all of Kurt Angle's contemporaries going when he was on top of the WWE? MMA. It was slowly rising in popularity, while WWE had been steadily losing ground.

And it wasn't from competition. They were doing it to themselves. And then it happened: Spike TV, looking to fill the gap left by the WWE signs with the UFC. Now there's UFC Unleashed, UFC's greatest Knockouts ,UFC Fight Night, The Ultimate Fighter. Hell, they've even shown PPVs held in Europe for free on Spike. Now how do you beat marketing like free PPVs?

I mean, it's not like the WWE isn't trying with the cash giveaways, Donald Trump and celebrity hosts, but it's a case of one step forward, three steeps back. It's not enough. And St Jimmy, #1-wwf-fan, 450 and IRodC, we don't say these things because we want the WWE to fail. We say them because we want them to do well. We want them to be exciting and entertaining. Why wouldn't we? We're wrestling fans. If I weren't I'd be posting at The People's MMA Website.

I'm not saying "shame on UFC for not having it's guys fight twice a week." That's exactly why they don't fight three times a week. But that also means when they do fight it's going to cause people to spend money on it because that's their only opportunity to see them.
