And it's amusing how everyone hates Brock so much.
Everyone I talk to that hates him always says something like, "he is disrespectful to the sport. he's not a MMA fighter, he's just a big roider who was in the WWE, he's not a good fighter."
dude was a world class wrestler at one point, like many other great UFC fighters.
If people only realized the list of current/former MMA stars who were/are "phony pro wrestlers"...
Ken Shamrock
Don Frye
Josh Barnett
Mark Coleman
Brock Lesnar
Bobby Lashley
Tank Abbott
Paul Varlens
Dan Severn
Kevin Randleman
Bob Sapp
Minowaman
Tito Ortiz
That's just off the top of my head, if I wanted to I could list over 100 guys. On this list alone you have something like 7 or 8 UFC champions.
I don't know why people get so bent out of shape, you don't hear anyone say "Fuck Randy Couture, he's one of those phony movie actors", or "Rich Franklin can lick my balls, I hated my math teacher".
Pro Wrestling is great way for these guys to make a few bucks when they aren't fighting, especially a few years ago when the money for fighting wasnt as good as it is now. The two businesses go hand in hand, cutting promos, selling fights, etc. It's a natural fit, and MMA/pro wrestling willl always be connected, so people need to just deal with it.
