Social Science UFC vs. WWE

90% of what I saw was an already unconscious guy smashed in the head a second time.

Not sure how this is enjoyable in any form whatsoever.

Gotta make sure he's knocked out.

The trick is to try and give them brain damage so they cant ask for a rematch.

Lol comparing ufc to WWE

Firstly pro wrestling died when McMahon bought all the territories
Gimme nwa, awa, Florida, mid Atlantic etc over this shit nowadays

Gimme flair and funk and muta and original sting and the midnight express with Bobby Eaton over John ****ing Cena ffs

But cmon ufc cannot be compared
Its a totally different thing ffs
Yeah sure 80% are prob on the gear but who the hell isn't in this day and age

watch both but am more apprehensive about paying for a ufc ppv 50 odd bucks and the fight i want to see is over in 15 seconds least with wrestling you are guaranteed the 3 hour ppv you paid for. but with the wwe network not bothered anymore 10bucks a month for every ppv ever etc. also am i the only one who cant stand mma when its just two blokes on the floor fighters like rashad evans put me to sleep

As others have said, you really can't compare the two. But in terms of entertainment value and pure watch-ability, UFC will never come close to peak WWF years ('98-'02). In those days Stone Cold, The Rock, Vince McMahon were all household names, bigger than McGregor is or Tito Ortiz/Chuck Liddell ever were.

I haven't watched wrestling in probably 10 years (grew out of it when I was around 13), and from what I hear it's pretty crap now. But I can still go back and watch matches from the aforementioned era and still be entertained.

This video still gives me goosebumps:

Of course. One is choreographed and the other is real.

And botches in wrestling are funnier.
