as far as I am aware there are two UFC fighters, Bork Laser and Ronda Rousey so I'm pretty sure no matter which one he is going to fight he's going to die

Marching Powder posted:this whole thing won't not be funny. here's an example of a time when an mma guy went to pro wrestling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_12qn29WKA Wasn't this literally the drill instructor scene from starship troopers Angle (legitimately) broke the guy before's ribs so this guy decided to try his ~sick cage fighting~ and owned him super hard, then got owned super hard in retaliation for making Angle look like a dummy on national TV e: quote:Kurt came over and said who wants a chance, I raised my hand as fast as I could. Just because, I knew that I wrestled, my old coach was Danny Shay…Danny only lost to him in the Olympic trials by a couple of points, so I knew I had trained with guys that are as good as him. I wasn't really scared of him, plus I had the MMA stuff and I knew he wasn't really into that as much. So I got in there, they said the rules were no striking…and I caught him in a key lock…he's a strong guy. He's freakin' strong. So I caught him in a key lock, pulled him into a Kamura and tried to snap his arm off. It nearly worked, you guys can see how close it was.

Yeah uh the rule is subtract 3 inches and 25 pounds from wrestling height so he's probably 5'10-5'11 and maybe 200 when he's fat Kevin Nash (legit 6'10) said he was inspired to take up wrestling because Hulk Hogan (billed 6'10) walked past him at a show and he saw he had like 3 or 4 inches on the Hulkster.

Daniel Bryan has trained MMA for years and said he would never do UFC because he doesn't like getting hit in the face but he'd love to do grappling tournaments after he retires. He also kicked the rear end of a guy who robbed his house and put him in a rear naked choke hold until the cops showed up but I assume he didn't actually choke him because the guy was not dead

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.

Half the fun of wrestling is that everyone backstage is insane and half the people on the roster each other for various real or perceived slights. WCW was the excess and insanity of the wrestling business taken to heights it had never seen before and will never reach again.

Vince McMahon held a gimpy shoot fighting tournament with wacky rules in 1997 to cash in on the UFC. It was derided as not being wrestling and apparently designed to make Steve Williams (a badass amateur wrestler and megastar in Japan) a star in the WWF. So much so, that they paid him his winning bonus before the tournament ended. He ended up blowing out his knee in the semifinals. (Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn were under contract but "pulled out" after round 1/weren't allowed to compete.) After half the people in it were injured, eventually Bart Gunn was victorious. They decided to have him SHOOT FIGHT BUTTERBEAN on pay per view. Butterbean said he would take a dive or at least make it competitive, Vince said no way, Bart Gunn can totally beat you so shoot dammit! Bart Gunn was KOed in 15 seconds.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:Then there was the time WWE tried to treat Tough Enough as a shoot (a reality TV program about people trying to break into the wrestling business) and had Daniel Puder put Kurt Angle (a big WWE star by this time) in a kimura. If the referees hadn't intervened to count Puder down (which he wasn't), he would've broken Kurt's arm and/or embarrassed him and the company on a Smackdown broadcast, because Kurt was not really in a position to tap out. And on top of this, they decided to do this while Angle was recovering from yet another neck surgery. The idea was that the match would be after making the guys do a billion squat thrusts so they'd be gassed before it started. Angle actually broke the first guy's ribs, Puder was the second guy.

Halloween Jack posted:To be fair, Angle was an Olympic heavyweight gold medalist. It's not unreasonable to think somebody with those credentials could outgrapple a MMA journeyman. Did Puder even have any pro fights at that point? Problem is Angle's body was a wreck. He had 1. Angle's body was destroyed and he was coming off surgery.

DeathChicken posted:This is just a reminder that Angle apparently wanted to go into MMA himself to the point where he got to the physical, and then it all stopped because they pretty much went "Dear god, you are dead. Like legally dead, you are held together with silly putty and obscene amounts of painkillers, please go to a hospital." Kurt Angle is insane. He had been pestering the UFC for years. Dana told him "pass your physical and you can be on Ultimate Fighter Heavyweights" and he failed it spectacularly. The reason he's not with the WWE right now is because Vince refuses to have an Olympian die in his ring, since Kurt is insane and does things like jump 15 feet off cages onto his neck. Dixie Carter seems to have no problem with that.
