How could WWE compete with the UFC?
It's a known fact that UFC is the realest out of the two. Even though wrestling is very real in it's own respect, it just doesn't compare
I've noticed that they announce the wrestlers when they are both in the ring, as opposed to announcing them as they walk to the ring (ie. Lillian Garcia announcing John Cena vs. RVD on RAW this past week) I think the key is to get back to the basics. Gimmicks gimmicks and more gimmicks. I kinda wish Vince Russo was back. UFC could never pull of a 'Higher Power' angle. UFC could never pull off a 'gay marriage' angle. UFC could never pull off a 'Let's make a badass black panther stable' angle WWE is trying to play UFC's game. Instead, WWE should use what they already have and use the 'fake and scripted' concept to it's full potential. Everyone knows wrestling is fake, but WWE keeps trying it to make it look real (ie Tough Enough, [worked] shoots etc) discuss bitches ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Why would WWE want to compete with the UFC? The 2 have nothing to do with each other. It would be like Nascar competing with Monster Trucks.

Especially for younger kids. Once thinking wrestling is cool, UFC is alot more edgier and 'cooler' than wrestling. UFC has the power to convert wrestling fans into something greater |

Yea they are 2 seperate entities. UFC will take over boxing if anything. Wrestling is stuck feuding with the likes of 'Dancing with the stars'

also the characters are terrible
I still can't get over the whole John Cena disaster. Sure he makes money, but he's like Ashlee Simpson or Britney Spears. oh and off topic, i had a dream two nights ago that Madonna was my girlfriend. okay, back to Cena. It's been said a million times on here, but IMO, I think Cena would have the same effect as Stone Cold if only he had more edge. We all know it's coming, but they're just milking it. It eventually happened with The Rock in 2003. Patience. I also think CM has an awesome look. He should go to RAW though. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Triple H turns on Michales again and somehow get The Spirit Squad to be the new DX. |

The fact is, however, people do. Demographics lump them together, too.

i think UFC is the current version of what wrestling used to be
back then the marks thought wrestling was real. Now it's obviously 'fake' or 'phony'. Sure the true fans will stay, but whether you like it or not, wrestling is looked down upon but these days, we all know UFC is fucking real. Not to mention the crazy mainstream popularity of it right now. |

Does anyone have any good UFC fights I could watch or you could recommend? I've never really seen a good fight, just one or two random fights here and there.

Ok, demographicly speaking the same people who like wrestling are going to like ufc. But that doesn't mean they are competing against each other. They are competing with each other in the same since that McDonalds is competing with Applebee's for where you are going to eat dinner, but they aren't directly competing with eachother.

I think wwe is far more successful at the moment than ufc, if I'm not mistaken.

That's like Shamrock calling Tito a Bitch Monkey, and that was like the lowest point in Ken Shamrock's career.
Also you wouldn't even know what a monkey on crack with downs syndrome would look like. Terrible Skippord |

There is no comparison. UFC is in a league of it's own right now in terms of an entertaining product. A big reason why they are taking a lot of wrestling fans now is because UFC is similar to what pro wrestling should have evoled into in this day and WWE is nothing close. There is room for both to be sucessful but one has respect for it's audience and the other never has and never will.
