@Nobbleykyle Like every pro wrestler I have ever heard of has had some kind of serious injury. Bret Hart: Severe concussion. Shawn Micheals: Terrible back injuries. Steve Austin: Broken neck. Triple H: Blew his knee. Rey Mysterio: Blew his knee. John Cena: Tore his pec off his shoulder.
@Nobbleykyle "That's why no one in pro wrestling has ever had any kind of serious injury." Some people who have bean seriously injured wrestling are owen hart, brian onge (both died), hayabusa (landed on his head and is paralyzed), steve austin (broke his neck with a pile driver and led to his retirement), and there are there ssoooo many more that i would be here for ever if i were to name them all.
It certainly has not surpassed boxing in the 60s and 70s mate. Check out the purses involved for winning in the UFC. Ali was making more than that in 1973.
I enjoy it but I think it could be bigger and more popular if they favoured the more aggressive fighters. There are a lot of guys currently involved who can put you to sleep(figuratively and literally) and it doesn't make for good Tv. The question I guess is does MMA cater to the casual tv viewer(or even arena spectator) or will they forever be content with their own loyal fanbase?
@jaguar004 And you're right it's totally impossible to hurt someone with pro wrestling moves. That's why no one in pro wrestling has ever had any kind of serious injury.

@RoSs3897 I know dude. I'm a huge wrestling fan. I was being sarcastic towards this other guy who said you couldn't get injured in pro wrestling.

@jaguar004 Getting dropped right on your head. No way that could hurt someone.
