Why do people even bother watching “puro” “shoot style” “strong style” pro wrestling when pic related exists?

Becasue it turns out real fights are very random and unpredictable if you have people that are in the same league and its hard to get behind folks when at any one time not predicting a hit coming perfectly puts you out. If that doesnt happen it tends to be sweaty guys rolling around together unable to do anything for 3 rounds

Now as a legit combat sport its top of the line but it will never be as entertaining as Pro Wrestling because of their natures

ufc has become very oversaturated. i stopped watching once they started having shows every week and the cards had a bunch of literal whos + a headliner. and even now, the PPVs are mostly literal whos.

i stopped watching wrestling years ago too though. i just come on here to shitpost.

I fucking hate when a match is majority strikes, so there's no reason I'd like MMA fights.

UFC draws fucking zero dimes now. It peaked at UFC 100 with Bork Lester vs Shane Carman. I guess you could make an argument and say that Conor boosted it for awhile, but now? Just look at a fight card. It's fucking pathetic.

UFC has become boring as fuck in the last 8 or so years since it really took off in popularity. Go watch UFC 1, it's like shoot pro wrestling, every guy has a different fighting style, every guy is wearing different shit and looks distinct. If you take a amateur wrestler and put them up against a kickboxer you're far more likely to have something entertaining like a huge knockout happen because of the discrepancies in style. Now all UFC fighters are pretty well rounded and you have more sweaty dick punching and judge's decisions. I've always felt that if a wrestling company tried to do a product similar to early UFC it would be successful.

Early UFC's were pure unadulterated kino. You had a fat doughy guy in sweat pants who was an alleged kickboxing champ, stomping a nigger half to death. You had bar brawlers, redneck TKD artists, asian rapists and a guy named Kimo who bore a full-size cross to the ring. Now you've got faggots and nobodies.

Wrestling doesn't pretend to be real at all. Have you seen a wrestling match lately? These dumb faggots are still doing the same shit guys in the 20s did. I shoot don't know how wrestlers are retarded enough to still do irish whip spots but they do them every week. UFC has been relevant for about 17 years, people are aware of what real fighting looks like now and wrestling makes no attempt to look like a more entertaining version of that.

The only UFC fights worth a shit are
1) Guy knocks another guy immediately
2) Two based retards punch each other in the face barely defending and just stand and bang brutally
Those account for like 0.5% of UFC fights.

Whereas with Puro, it's much more consistently based.

Puro is a general term for Japanese wrestling. It encompasses everything from death matches to the dragon gate. Very dumb of you to lump that term in there.
Strong style is a work. Maybe it meant something to the boomers when inoki was throwing it around but now it’s just a catch all for wrestling that takes place in new Japan. Which in 2023 is a lot closer to 90s all Japan and 2000s dragon gate.
Shoot style I personally can’t defend. Never appealed to me. But I’m pretty sure it’s a completely dead style, at least in the mainstream. So why would people watch it now when they can watch mma? It appears they don’t.

UFC promos are by and large more kino than whatever failed TV writers are working RAW and Smackdown, it’s real grappling and striking but People watch wrestling for they same reason they play video games and watch Capeshit movies. Its autistic permanent adolescents that live vicariously through playtime stories sold to them by corporations. UFC is a combat sport and combat just gives faggots that watch the things I mentioned PTSD about when they got beaten and probably molested or they feel bad about being too pussy to even attempt combat.
We’re talking about what they used to call “indoor kids”. They’ll play some EA sports shit before they’ll attempt to go out side and be part of a team. They’ll watch an action movie but never own a gun and they have the same reaction to UFC as Vince does. Abject terror.
