WWE star Triple H says UFC fights can be 'long and boring' and that MMA 'needs to evolve'

I think its bad enough that they make corny MMA movies with fighters let alone acting like idiots for “entertainment”

How are you going to call wrestling a sport?

the corner guys could leave the stools and ice buckets and it could be fair game in a fight…sigh i will never understand wwe wrestling..it could be my vagina that is the problem.(though i could be wrong and maybe lots of chicks like it??).it is just a strange thing to me..like watching pretend humping over real sex or something..

it could be my vagina that is the problem

Does he mean boring like those badly-acted (and badly written) rants and “feuds” from his show? If anything needs to evolve it’s pro rasslin’! Should have followed the original ECW template a decade ago (before Vince neutered it).
At the least watching MMA is exciting because they really are trying hit each other (and not fake a chair shot)!

UFC/MMA needs more fighters with personality/character to draw more attention to the sport

O’Doyle Rules!

All of you need to take a step back and breathe.

Nobody is comparing WWE and MMA. Nobody considers them to be the same thing. The WWE is not a sport it is sports entertainment, there are real athletes performing real moves with staged conclusions. There are plenty world class wrestlers and athletes in the WWE.

The UFC is also in the entertainment business, so the guy is right. Brock has the name he does and Floyd has the name he does because they know exactly how to get the masses to talk about them and tune in to watch their craft.

They can be long and boring, and they can also be fast and exciting, and are unpredictable. And mma has been evolving over the last 2 decades- it doesn’t happen overnight

My 6year old watches wrestling from time to time because he is 6, Iv’e tried to bare and watch it with him, If “entertainment” is 48 minutes of talking nonsense and wrestling for 12 minutes on an hour long program, I’ll pass. Triple H is a dumbfuck

I am a big MMA guy, i love it and wwe is a thing of the past for me, it just doesnt do now for me what it did entertainment wise, but PLEASE lets not get it confused, the amount of athleticism and work thosee guys put in is insane and imo it is a sport, its just fake. but the moves and everything, Its just like learning an armbar or any other submission in mma. WWE guys cannot just come in to the UFC and know what there doing an compete, but it works both ways, besides Brock lesnar, NOBODY from the UFC is just jumping in a WWE ring tomorrow

but i never said guys wouldnt do it if the money was right, but my point was no one can show up to a WWE event, get in the ring and wrestler a match against Triple H and not get hurt or mess it up..thats all im sayin

but lets be real it is a small % still that could do it and IMO still even smaller if your talking WWE not japan

this is the dumbest statement ever made

I’ve always thought one of the things about us, if you look at us solely from a sports standpoint, is that we always give you a good show. We’re never going to give you a crap game.

They are a soap opera…scripts…its fake! So they can always make a story to create a “good show”. They guys are athletic but it is hardly a sport.

but this does make sense

I’m good friends with Floyd Mayweather and Floyd would be the first to tell ya, ‘I make the most money in boxing and I have the biggest buyers because I have the biggest mouth.’ He’d be the first guy to tell you that. That’s what it’s about. Sports is entertainment."

they holding hands really looks that way

I’ve been to four live WWE shows and eight live UFC shows, and every wwe show I’ve always paid my £50 for a ticket and gone away happy. I’ve seen all the stars Cena, HBK, Flair, Taker etc, the good guy’s always won and there were many great fights. You know you will always get that from the wwe.
That obviously doesn’t always happen with the UFC and a few times I’ve gone home slightly disappointed. But of course its easy to have great matches and the good guy always winning when the fights are staged and the outcome pre-determined. Such is the nature of real sport like MMA, you’ll always see more snoozers than you will barn burners and your fave wont always win. There isn’t much that can be done about it, thats the unpredictability of sport..

a sport, the competition they have is with putting on the best show possible for the fans, if they dont do that, they are failures and thats how they feel and sorry but thats fact some ppl here just dont understand the WWE at all, and with some of the stuff im reading you just sound clueless and dumb(i do want to say again, i am an MMA guy and thats all i watch, but i was a WWE guy for a long time and they deserve respect)

Always been impressed with the show they put on, very entertaining. Do I want to see all that fake trash talking in MMA though? No.

Moving on

They couldn’t wait to see him get beat up. And then he did well, and he beat some guys and then people jump on his bandwagon going ’Brock’s the greatest.’

But I don’t want the UFC trying to entertain me with stupid gimmicks. I don’t mind that the fighters “walk out in shorts and Tshirt, take their clothes off, fight, thank fans and leave”. I don’t mind that one bit. What I don’t want is pyrotechnics like Strikeforce and the WWE employ. I don’t need to be entertained any further than the fights and the fighters true reactions.
