It was on Spike for a while.....it was the lead-in for TUF if I remember correctly lol
Shit, back in the 90's, the same type of people who follow MMA religiously followed WWF/WCW the same way. It was an adult's show for that time. And it was pretty much that way until TUF put the UFC on the map. Until that point, very few people followed MMA on a hardcore level. Most of us that were, were here on Sherdog (2001-2005) when Couture, Ortiz, Liddell, Rampage, Wanderlei, Bas, Frank Shammy, Fedor, Nog Brothers, Igor, Cro Cop etc. was blowing up in the early 2000's.As I said in another thread, it's hard for me to understand how anyone that's not a kid finds the scripted and fake WWE appealing. But I guess since kids watch, parents must as well. Going to their events back when they were the WWF, I don't remember anyone who wasn't either 13 or under or taking their kids.

After the UFC blew up, they stole a lot of wrasslin' fans so naturally the WWE went back for the kids like they did in the 80's.
I really don't get the hype around WWE.
Maybe it's because I am european but I just don't understand the concept of fake wrestling and why people are interested in watching something like this.
Think of it more as a story or soap opera. If u watched over the years u would see a huge shift in how they wrestle. Independent scene focuses more on moves while WWE focuses on plot.
You've been replaced - there's a whole new crowd of 14-15 year olds.
Well there are millions more 14-15 year olds out there now
There are a lot of 14-15 year olds that come after you...
I don't understand. You don't think there are 14-15 years old today?
They're selling out 60K+ seat venues every WrestleMania, so there's seems to be some interest.really? Didn't think WWE still had mass appeal in 2018.
I mean I was really into it ... back when I was 14-15, but now it's pretty hard to maintain my interest.
Yeah and they don’t watch traditional tv. It’s all about what’s on their phone. Not sure what fox is aiming for here.You've been replaced - there's a whole new crowd of 14-15 year olds.
They'd need to bring back Baroni and Abbott.UFC needs it own version of attitude era
Crazy idea: Maybe right now there are another guys who are actually 14-15
They are too old.They'd need to bring back Baroni and Abbott.
It is a baffling mystery to me. I us it as an IQ measuring stick.
He should watch the euro wrestling scene. They're actually very interesting to watch
Great, now our european friend will be confused as to why some americans like WWE & soap operas. Both terrible, terrible products.
