You realize the origins of MMA and professional wrestling are essentially, the same, right? Not just similar in how it became what it is but also the fact that it's with the same people.
When MMA fighters are too old to propely fight anymore, as long as they have a personality, should go to IGF and the other Japanese shoot wrestling companies.
Agreed. Seriously, it's usually a one or two match gig for Inoki where you make some decent cash for less work. Chuck Liddell (for lack of better example) would probably be less of a depressing former shell of himself if he just did these gigs once or twice a year.
Its funny how a lot of these dipshit MMA fans make fun of people who watch pro wrestling and call it fake. while they have no problem watching a van damme or a Stallone movie. how would they like it if i were to shout out FAKE while they were watching a hollywood action movie.
pro wrestling is an art, its not a legit combat sport and im okay with that. and sometimes these guys get hurt 4 real, you got to respect that.
Obviously this is fake but it is nice to see them go for "real" submissions. Better than that crap triangle the undertaker does. WWE could learn a thing or two from this.
Showcasing crap like this only ruins mma for people who may not know much about it. They see this and they think it's that fake wrestling shit, which in this case, sadly, that's exactly what it is.
some of the comments on here are jokes! "oh my god I can't believe these two done pro wrestling"
Damn some people really havent got a clue. Josh Barnett is a big japanese pro wrestling fan. The guy loves the industry, Frye was pro-wrestling before his UFC days and was a huge star in New Japan after he left UFC.
you guys need to understand, pro-wrestling in Japan is not seen as some kind of joke like WWE. It is seen in the same fight industry as MMA, K-1, Sumo etc.
this is for fun u fuckers ... ppl payin money for this shit ... as if ur watchin a movie ... soo get yr fuckin pop corn and enjoy it with yr kids damn it ...
And this is why I fucking LOVE the japanese. In america we'd be like "oh no, it's not real boo hoo". In Japan, they don't give a fuck. They have fun with it. And that's why American MMA fans are dumbasses.
@MrBTY I know man but it is still disappointing as they both are real fighters and it feels like your watching a Bolshoi ballerina on a low rent strip club.
@MrBTY Excuse me for not having a childish mind. I don't believe in the tooth fairy, I don't want to play in the sand box, and I won't want to watch to grown men pretend to fight. I am a man... and I want blood and fists and knockouts and kicks and chokes and limbs torqued... I am a man.
MMA fighters have a right to do a worked match. It's probably relaxing for them. Plus, it is an entirely different skill set to work a match, you cannot go all out and destroy the guy, you have to work with them. Not everything has to be a shoot.
wanna see some real butt-kicking check Lebanner-Frye ... Lebanner is no joke ... he sent Frye crumbliing to his knees.... with a brutal right to the jaw that would have brought down the walls of Jericho! Man o man ... Frye can fake and stare and push and shove, but Lebanner can punch!
@lameristotel its worked not a shoot. WWF isn't even a company anymore its WWE and its staged not fake, and so is this and if you cant tell why do you care? its for entertainment just enjoy it!
ohhh man c'mon! Wrestling isn't a real fight but involves athleticism, is a funny show pure entretainment but the important thing here is Barnett, Frye, Severn, Shamrock, Lesnar, Minoru Suzuki, Satoru Sayama and many others Puroresu/Lucha Wrestlers are capable to win a real/MMA Fight and "wrestlers" like HBK or Randy Orton never can win or at least fight in MMA
I love how in every single one of Don's fights, when the announcer say his name, and all cameras turns towards him, he turns around and give his opponent a badass stare.
All you ignorant ppl, Listen up. Pro wrestling is best. They were both wrestlers frm the start anyway. And this isnt scripted WWE entertainment, its real badass 'survival of the fittest' championship. Josh Barnett shud have him though - he does pankration which is the most lethal form of pro-wrestling.
Pro wrestling doesn't claim to be real combat. It doesn't claim to be anything other than entertainment. It is part of Japan's culture, Mexico's culture. The UK, The US, and Canada. This PERFORMING ART is global. To call it a joke or laugh about it is just uncultured and childish. Open your minds and try to appreciate it for what it is. If actual MMA fighters themselves do not see themselves as above Pro Wrestling, why should the MMA fans? Grow up.
they said Don Fryes name all quiet and said Josh Barnett's name all load, should have been the other way around, holy shit this fight is fake, like WWF! hahahahaha
