I know probably like half of you don't want to hear this, but...

WWE and televised pro wrestling in general could learn a thing or two from watching MMA. I know, I know, wrestling forum, blah blah blah, but I've watched some Pride FC and UFC of late, and I really wish we had a couple of announcers like the guys who call those matches, because they manage to tell you about the wrestlers (without shoving it down your throat) and make the matches seem more exciting.

Now, I don't blame the commentators, because commentary is primarily stifled by the writers/creative/Vince McMahonwhich, but I really think this is what wrestling should be doing. Half the time, you don't get enough info on the wrestlers, and the other half, it's crammed down your throat.

So yeah. I know there are several on this board who'll complain about a thread that mentions MMA, but this really struck me as how they should be doing it on WWE programming (And TNA, but I don't watch that often anymore).

I'm sure it's not the only place they could learn from 'em, either. It's just painfully obvious after having listened to hundreds of hours of WWE commentary.


“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”
