Why come successful MMA guys don't crossover to Pro-Wrestling anymore?
>>
>>19744354
MMA Fighters and Boxers don’t like the pain tolerance and road schedule. Guys like Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson trained for a bit and found out it wasn’t as fake as they thought

Back in the 90s there was no money in MMA so a lot of them did pro wrestling. Even shoot style, worked MMA, drew better for most of the decade. 00s is when MMA really took off and boomed, meaning no reason to go to pro wrestling. Plus wrestling is fake and gay xD was at its peak back then. That is why Brock drew so well for UFC, the MMA fans wanted the fake fighter to get his ass beat. The guys who make it in MMA now don't need pro wrestling and the guys lower down cannot leave as they have to bust their ass to try and make it.

that's a sexy little minx right there
mmmmmm

>>19744440
It's mainly because the UFC pays complete peanuts even taking into account fight bonuses , so the only people actively competiting are 3rd world inbreds who can't even speak English so their chances of making it are basically zero

>>19744354
Got to have charisma and be able to talk
being a bad ass doesn't really work unless you look like and act like a Brock Lesner.
>>
>>19744377
How was it?
>>
>>19744354
Supposedly Conor McGregor wanted to have a run in WWE years ago, but they couldn't come to terms on money.
>>
>>19744354
has there been an MMA guy that has truly broken into the pro wresting world?, Shamrock reached his midcard ceiling and left, Rousey spiraled out for not being able to handle the heat, Riddle also fucked up his own career
>>
>>19744354
Pro wrestling s real tough guy shit. See brock lesnar.

Sultry minx

>>19744354
The smaller MMA guys look stupid (140-160lb range cutting from 180 and lower)
The bigger MMA guys, it's not believable that any wrestler would beat them (205+ guys cutting from 240+)

There's really only the 170 and 185 division guys that would avoid make all parties involved look like retards.
>>
>>19745250
Shamrock had a great main event program with Shawn Michaels. He wasn't booked well starting when they knew his priority was MMA.
>>
>>19744354
Three big reasons IMO
>MMA fighters are completely broken down, nearly crippled by the time they hit 36-40.
>They tend to suck at promos.
>Most of their biggest draws in recent years haven't been at heavier weights. Only big guy right now who draws is Alex Pereira. Everybody else is <6 ft and <200lbs.

Out of all of them, would have been fun to see DC do some stuff though.

it's a lanyard he put behind his neck so it wouldn't mess up the photos

>>19744354
Because Shamrock was one of the biggest names in MMA during his prime and got booked to look retarded. It is pretty easy to look at that, ask yourself "Am I a bigger name than Ken Shamrock and will they treat me better or worse?" and then decide you are better off shilling sport supplements made out of heavy metals and recycled newspaper.

>>19745250
Id argue brock was an actual combat sports athlete first. other than him, there's really no one. even george lucas's daughter had a great run in mma with gimmicks and all. you'd think you'd see more wrestlers on the indie mma circuit. maybe 0-2 in the ufc killed it
>>
MMA wasnt as big then, you couldnt be a big star
>>
>>19744354
Idk

So you don't know
