Dexters Secret posted:Punk is an incredibly driven individual and I think he has a decent chance of defeating another UFC rookie. But even if he doesn't, it's not gonna be a big deal, other than his next fight won't be as much of a draw. He's doing this for fun anyway, and is a writer for Marvel now. Posts like this are the best and I sincerely look forward to more people who have never watched an mma fight ever in their lives commenting as well

This really is pretty much the most ridiculous thing possible. Even the pride and dream freak shows usually involved guys with some sort of background in a martial art. Even Jose canseco had more of a fighting pedigree

Viper_3000 posted:Is it the best move for the UFC as a sport? gently caress no. It's pretty awful, and his fighting career could turn out horribly. Especially if you think of the UFC as MLB and every other promotion as the minors. (Even Jordan didn't jump right into the MLB when he played baseball) I love punk and am irrationally stoked about him being involved with UFC, I just can't imagine any way this doesn't turn out absolutely cringeworthy in regards to him actually fighting. Punk on UFC commentary would be insanely good though

Detroit_Dogg posted:Like I know yall like the guy a whole bunch but are you loving serious anymore or am I getting poo poo thrown way over my head. Punk knows mma and was a very good commentator. I think he will be a horrible mma fighter but he's one of the best talkers and commentators in wrestling, is verbally and mentally quick and is knowledgable about how things work in mixed martial arts. I would be legit shocked if he wasn't at least good at it. JR isn't nearly as well versed in how mma works as punk is and he was still decent at it.

oatgan posted:Punk's wrestling commentary was mostly him saying things to amuse himself during horrible segments he wasnt very good at calling the action.

Detroit_Dogg posted:Guys who commentated legit sports couldn't find success with MMA, hell guys who commentate MMA full time aren't good at it but yes I'm sure the professional wrestler who pals around with a Gracie will be a great commentator. Based on the standard that no one is good it probably wouldn't be too hard to at least match it, but really at that point it generally shouldn't matter if everyone else sucks

Critical posted:Hendo-Bisping was literally the only UFC event I've ever watched live. Nothing on this planet will ever get the reaction out of me that those two punches did. They really played up how much of a oval office Bisping was because I didn't feel bad about that happening at all. if you don't get a literal erection seeing bisping get his rear end kicked by anyone than mma is the wrong entertainment for you

Cro cop had a few knockouts in Pride where it looks like his foot just gracefully gives someone a haircut without making contact, its why he owned. pride was just the ecw of capitalizing on fighter's strengths and covering up their weaknesses so everyone thought they were better than they were, which is why pride also owned

Fozzy The Bear posted:Please help me to understand, as a person who has watched very few professional wrestling tv shows. If it is all scripted, all of the drama is fake, correct? Not being able to tell which drama is real and which is just fake-real is kind of one of the draws to following wrestling as a business. It used to be a lot more obnoxious in the 90s in that the internet made more people interested in the behind the scenes stuff so wrestlers and especially "edgy" writers like Vince Russo would work the fans (and each other in some cases) to make fake drama seem more realistic. Honestly it's not too different from MMA fighters and boxers claiming they have problems with each other before a big fight. Most of the time it's just showmanship for the fans, but sometimes there's an element of actual dislike between them or even outright hostility. Wrestling is still a really carny business but UFC and especially PRIDE are/were not really too different overall. It's become increasingly common in wrestling ever since the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Screwjob with Bret Hart in 97 for wrestling organizations to take real life conflict and spin it into a fictionalized version they can make money off of. In the case of CM Punk he might be exaggerating his problems with WWE to an extent but considering other wrestlers who have spoken out against McMahon and the WWE once they've left it it's extremely likely most of what he's saying is true and it has nothing to do with any sort of wrestling stoyrline or hype machine. Wrestling more than any other entertainment medium I can think of is always blurred between reality and fiction but it's generally relatively easy to read between the lines if you're familiar with how the business works.

1st AD posted:I think the UFC is similar in it's business/contracts but the way they conduct themselves is way different. For starters, there are very few cases where a dude has been straight up buried despite winning fights, and usually it's someone like Jacob Volkmann who they kept off TV because in his first post-fight speech he intimated that he was gonna beat up Obama. They're similar in that Dana White would have no problem having guys go out and fight doped out of their minds and injured if MMA didn't have to walk on legal eggshells with state athletic commissions

Luigi Thirty posted:Vince hates Raven. Someone hired Raven. Vince doesn't know until he sees him on TV and screams "WHO THE gently caress HIRED RAVEN" and demands they fire him. This is one of those stories I really doubt happened considering Raven was made hardcore champ within like two months and was given a championship match at Wrestlemania with Kane and Big Show when they still kind of mattered soon after. Not to mention that he remain employed from 2000-2003

OneThousandMonkeys posted:It cannot be over-emphasized how little the hardcore title mattered in the scheme of things in which it existed. If Kane and Big Show are in a match with Raven, it's so Raven loses to them. That is Raven's only Mania match in four years with the company and he was barely on TV after that. Yeah but post that the Invasion happened and Raven was not even close to one of the top guys who got left behind in that mess. It's not really a fair standard.
