Pro wrestling SUCK!

Now come on, tell us how you really feel.
I thought that MMA fighting proved that size does not matter. Why take issue with Rey Mysterio (aka Óscar Gutiérrez Rubio)? Sure, he is 170 lbs when he is soaking wet, but that does not mean he cannot win. Plus, he is hugely popular and marketable.
The Boogieman was an attempt to market a pro-wrestler that went for the gross out factor as we often see on Fear Factor. It failed, and now the idea is cast aside. You won't see the Boogieman anymore in the WWE.
Pro-wrestling is hugely popular. A billion dollar a year industry. The WWE currently has the lion's share of the market, but TNA has carved out a niche that will NOT soon dissappear. That is why Sting is now there. He pledged to never work for McMahon regardless of the money. TNA is the promotion that came out of the remnants of the collapse of WCW. They use all the wrestlers that ECW and the WWE chose not to market.
Samoa Joa is the best of the new breed of pro-wrestlers. He likes to use the rear-naked choke (an MMA hold) to finish his opponents. Rumor has it that Tito Ortiz taught Samoa Joe a lot of MMA holds. Right now, The Samoan Submission Machine (as Samoa Joe is often called) is set to fued with Scott Big Poppa Pump Steiner. It is just good storyline for pro-wrestling.
In many ways, TNA is superior to the WWE. |
