    MMA/Wrestling thread.

    Anyone pay for that Lesnar fight?

    What a waste of money, thank god I watched it for free.

    Brock Lesnar retired at the conclusion of the match.

    UFC is starting to bore me. Last UFC match I saw was Rampage vs Evans and that fight sucked. Plus the Heavyweight division is a joke.

    Re: MMA/Wrestling thread.

    I went when I was in middle school. The atmosphere is really good. I loved watching the entrances and the fireworks. You'll probably enjoy it a little more than me since you're actually a fan. I went because my brother was a major fan. I saw a little bit of the show as I was flipping channels not to long ago. Looks like it's for little kids.

    Re: MMA/Wrestling thread.

    IMO wresting is more acting than real fighting. It's like a comedy or something. When I was a kid, I used to watch wrestling very often LOL. I remember Hulk Hogan, Andrew el Gigante, Savage, El Santo, Blue Demon, etc. I used to play that Nintendo (I) wrestling video game a lot LOL. I haven't watched a wrestling match in 20 years or something. I'm not sure whether it has changed or not since then.

    Not trying to sound like an asshole here, so forgive me if you find this offensive iOrtiz. Isn't wrestling really popular in Mexico? Don't you have the lucha libre or however they call it? I'm shocked you're not really into it.

    No problem at all Mike.

    Yeahhh Lucha Libre is very, very popular in Mexico, it is probably just as popular as soccer is. The masks, the environment, the characters (luchadores), etc is awsome. As I said, I used to go to arenas and watch a lot Lucha Libre when I was a kid 8-12 YO. When you grow up You figure out that it is more like an acting/show/entertainment than real fighting which is ok but I think that I lost interest in it (Maybe I'm getting old ). When you are a kid, those men (wrestlers) are like heroes or something. Every Mexican kid has a favorite, you bet. They are like superman :lol:

    Here my favorite Mexican wrestlers. El Santo y Blue Damon. They are more famous than Brad Pitt here in Mexico, believe it or not. :lol:

    BTW when I was a kid I sworn that I was going to be a luchador, I even had a mask disigned by myself.

    Of course it is, which is why they call it sports entertainment rather than wrestling nowadays. When I think of wrestling, I think of greco roman/freestyle....a sport that I participated in during highschool/college.

    I just started watching it again for the first time since like 2002 and decided to buy tickets, just wondering how the shows are.

    Well, I'm not sure If it is the same in the US, probably is like the same. As I said, when I was a kid I loved to go to Las Arenas. These days I have no idea if they have changed the concept, but I believe that it has had improvements.

    Btw, SCM33 have fun... It should be a great experience.:thumbsup:

    Totally agree, but I never got into Luchadore style stuff. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I liked WWF/E when it was good 10 years ago and before. Now it just doesnt interest me at all. John Cena is so irritating.

    Yeah, they've watered WWE down considerably from about 10-12 years ago. They now want to sell John Cena gear to (as WWE wrestler R-Truth put it) the "little Jimmys".
