Why do you people watch Professional wrestling but not UFC?

I don't understand why everyone is so hyped up on wwe, and tna, and ecw all the time. If you guys like to see guys fighting, why don't you watch the real stuff? Is there something that I am missing? UFC has real and awesome fights, plus they have REAL story lines. ex. Tito Ortiz and Shamrock feud.

Why do you people watch Professional wrestling but not UFC?
A long time ago Professional wrestling use to be real. But these matches would last hours. The truth is that people like the story that wrestling has to offer. Not just the storylines, but the match itself.
Reply:UFC is boring.
Reply:Watching 2 people beat each other up for real isn't any fun. I love the awesome moves that the wrestlers have like batista bomb, Choke slam, FU, RKO, and i"m not sure what it's called but I also love Jeff Hardy's move. Not to mention cool matches like steel cage, hell in a cell, buried alive, royal rumble, elimination chamber, and all the weapons. PLUS they have cool story lines. Even if it is fake, it's still a thrill to watch.
Reply:i watch it all! but, UFC,can be disturbing to look at...
Reply:I have thought too why and it′s because the WWE as it′s name says is much more entertaining than the UFC I bet you that people prefer watching a dude flying and hitting himself on a lather than 2 guys that are 10 minutes on the ground trying to submit the other some, ignorant people that go to the arenas or watch WWE doesn′t know that is acted but is much more entertaining also the WWE is much more popular or famous in the world and had existed long time ago with figures like Hulk Hogan or Steve Austin.
Reply:because some ppl wana see ENTERTAINMENT and WWE is a huge success in entertaining.



WWE is not entirely fake: some storylines are taken from real life situations. here are two examples:



booker t and batista feud (they had a punch fight durin a photoshoot)

lita cheatin on matt for edge



i love WWE and i know its fake but it still entertains me
Reply:I watch both =D



I think people like wrestling because of the storylines, and the matches are very back and forth very often, and do cool looking moves that you cant do in UFC
Reply:i don't understand either! when you watch wwe, tna, etc. you can tell it's fake, the stuff they do in pro wrestling is stupid. when you watch ufc, they have like full guard half guard mount and a lot of other things, why don't the people do that in pro wrestling. it is just stupid. it is fake. UFC is real, real guys competing, and its not set up. UFC is way better than wrestling BAR NONE!!!
Reply:I think some people watch professional cause they can't deal with the reality. I think people who watch UFC is because in some way they probably started out with high school , college or Olympic wrestling or martial arts. But if you really love wrestling you don't need a story line to watch ... that's just for entertainment. I do like the new Real pro wrestling it's real wrestling and the story line is ..... being the Champion !!!
Reply:It's the soap opera affect. Each week adds a new twist to various stroy lines which keeps people interested. I watch both but really the UFC is too pay per view oriented even though I prefer it since all of the interesting wrestlers are leaving or are gone allready.
Reply:I like to watching both. Fake wrestling is just cool somehow. It's fighting, drama, and the divas are sexy. I like UFC too but it's just fighting. When does UFC come on?
Reply:I never liked the UFC.
Reply:Unfortunately I believe some watch wwe over UFC because of the fact that the storylines keep going from week to week and they can't wait several months for real fueds. Plus the wwe shows are more up to date. Until there is a PPV or Live show on TV the UFC shows are all about the past fights.

I am trying to be objective here since I am a fan of both. The wwe is more fan-based and fan-oriented, however, the UFC and PRIDE and K-1 are more for those who truly appreciate the complete aspect of an MMA fighters life (training, diet, history etc)
Reply:BECAUSE UFC SUCKS AND BECAUSE WWE AND ECW ARE HARD CORE AND VERY PLAN COOL
Reply:Why do you and everyone else make the baseless assumption that people who watch wrestling don't watch UFC or PRIDE or whatever, and why do you keep telling us what to watch? I watch what I want and FYI, I do watch UFC. It is possible to be a fan of both the WWE and the UFC, but, simply put, what entertains me may not entertain you.
Reply:Royce Gracie was THE Ultimate Fighting Champion! i stopped watching UFC after the first 10 but it was wayyyyy better than Prof Wrestling....although i will admit to watching professional wrestling in the Von Erich era
Reply:The reason I watch WWE is because its entertaining and has exciting matches. In contrast UFC is real which can make it boring to watch at times. All you see are punches and guys laying on floor holding each other in submissions for which feels like hours. Thats why in UFC they only ever promote their main events because thats all people want to see. When watching UFC u no all the matches are gonna be similar. In UFC I only want Chuck Lidell matches sometimes.
Reply:BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WATCHING WHAT I WANT
Reply:I'm so glad you watch UFC--maybe you can get some balls and some cool. I see you like to jump on girls who answer in this category. That is a punkb**** thing to do, little man. So keep watching all those hours of wrestling and maybe one of these days you will get enough testosterone together to look yourself in the mirror and not feel ashamed for picking on girls.



The Real Stuff!
Reply:I've been watching wrestling since the early 80s... but I've also been a martial arts fan and student since then as well- I watch both wrestling and UFC.



The difference is simply this: wrestling fans aren't watching WWE or TNA because they want to see real fighting. In the proper perspective, watching a wrestling show is watching a "soap opera" that happens to be about wrestling. They have actors, they have scripts, they do physical stunts. Is it "real", no... just as every action and martial arts show and movie that comes out isn't real either. Wrestling is sports entertainment, not a pure sport. Doesn't mean a sport fan can't like both.
