Vince McMahon's views on the UFC and Sabotage

Quote :

"UFC only appeals to a small, socially disturbed percentage of the viewing audience. Due to the violence it portrays, it shouldn't be considered acceptable in any civilized community. When they went to Cowboy Stadium, they only drew 20,000 people. We have had four years of 60,000+ fans at WrestleMania. Our appeal is much broader and we present a safer product."

Wow. Pro wrestling only appeals to the lowest common denominator and those in society with gleefully low IQs and heavy addictions to fountain drinks.

lol...what was Dana thinking when he booked Cowboy Stadium?...that crazy bald fuck.

Vince Mcmahon can be deemed a genius. Even Dana White has said Vince Mcmahon is a genius....but even great minds get old and senile and Vince Mcmahon is entering that stage.

Yeah cause fake armbars and guys who cut their own foreheads is much better than actual competition that isn't predetermined.

The turn off with wrestling comes from the fact the writing and storylines are usually insulting to the intelligence.

Good old Vince

Ludo ur done with that sig, plus I'm tired of seeing it

No shit its fucking safer its fucking fake.

Vince is smart, Dana has taken a PR page from him. This is no different than the style of talk Dana uses against other organizations. Truth and personal opinion don't apply to these kinds of crude business comments.

+1. He is a closet fan.

Vince is trying to setup the story line for when Dana White shows up on RAW and challenges Vince to cage match.

Vince is a genius. Stupid comment though

the interesting part is that Vince is a big fan of strikeforce.

only because he will own it one day.

Pro-wrestling is safer? How many fighters have accidently fallen to their deaths Owen Hart), how many have died due to overdoes, heart attack, etc before the age of 50? To many to name here. Let us think of Chris Benoit and tell Vince to go fuck himself!

+1... They have former or active guys falling all the time from heart attacks or other things. I think it's almost uncommon for a former pro wrestler to reach age 60. My Godfather was a pro and told wicked stories of drug abuse... The movie with Rourke in it was very on point. As far as safer... Damn, those guys are dealing with injuries ALL the time from the "fake" acrobatic shit they do.

You really shouldn't take Vince seriously. The entirety of his career and franchise are based off of many different forms of, some obvious, some not so obvious, premeditated deceptions.

Wrestling is enjoyable to some as is MMA but the thing I dont get is why the fuck is he even talking about MMA at all isnt he under attack from Hulk Hogan over on TNA??

Tim he has got to be watching his profit margin slip away a little more every month! They depend on solid PPV buys and merchendising for revenue. Well the UFC is the king of PPV sales with only 'Wrestlemania' ever making it in the top 10 list the past few years. Last year 'UFC: Undisputed' was one of the top video games of the year in sales and critical acclaim. Tee-shirt sales for WWE have been getting eaten up lately with more and more people purchasing products by Tapout, Affliction, etc. and now the UFC is in the toymarket too. Additionally, TNA has been getting nice bumps in audience viewing from UFC lead-ins and Vince has nothing to counter it at the moment. This isn't the old days when WCW and WWE were fighting for point bumps in market share based on shitty character development. It is a whole new market, with a whole new set of rules. Wrestling will always be around, but not like it was in the 80s and 90s.

Very good points!

to my kowledge UFC was never at Cowboy Stadium the show was at American Airlines Center
