I assume he knows but I'm honestly surprised. I could see what stops a UFC fan from being a fan of WWE (hell I know what can stop anyone from being a fan from WWE), but what specifically about UFC stops WWE fans from crossing over?

The fighters don't stop in the middle of bouts to talk to each other. UFC just doesn't understand cinema.

When I was younger I liked watching boxing and wrestling. I don't watch boxing anymore mostly because I don't have HBO.

That actually brings up something i hadn't thought of. WWE is billions of dollars into sportswashing Saudi, while UFC's billions of sportswashing dollars are in Abu Dhabi and thus the UAE instead. I wonder if any of that will change and which side TKO will back.

No storytelling. WWE fans watch for angles and bad skits, not matches, and there's no Fiend equivalent in UFC.

They don't cry because of blood, but because it happens in AEW.

The nice thing about fed stans is they don't have to have a reason to like ufc. Their programming has been changed, so by next week they will all love ufc and genuinely believe they always have.

I happened to watch a Young Sheldon ep one week for whatever reason, and it was...kinda alright. Not ever something I'd go out of my way for but it wasn't offensively bad like powerslap.

So why did Becky just show up in NXT and take the title? Was there some build to this, or just did it for no reason in particular?

Between Gladiators, Ullamaliztli, boxing and MMA among others, our monkey brains have enjoy people suffering for sport for millennia. Pro wrestling is not immune to this no matter how much we attempt in vain to justify our behavior.

If you prefer 8-bit pixel versions, SA's Dr. Spritesworth has posted a review of WWF Wrestlemania to his Youtube Channel while fellow Goon Random Stranger did the same for Wrestlemania Challenge on the Famicom (albeit a few months back). Give them a watch:

Tiffany Stratton "accidentally" mentioned her in a promo a couple weeks back as having historically won the title is about the extent of the build.
