WWE/UFC merged to TKO Holdings

[Shane]

Well that didn’t take long

To be fair to to the guy Dana is eviscerating, yeah both companies would not mind doubling their fanbases from dual-fandom.

But Dana's right while there are similarities in what the companies do from a visual standpoint (people in a ring/cage and fight each other) the fanbases are totally different with relatively minimal crossover.

 

[Chris]

The crossover for wrestling and MMA basically dissipates anytime wrestling is good again and comes back if wrestling starts getting shitty lol MMA is more popular than its ever been (or at least UFC) but you heard more about it in the wrestling spheres in like 2006 when Ultinate Fighter was just getting big

 

[Deezy]

So that's why Brock Lesnar is on their top 10 PPV movers list?

Or Ronda Rousey being WWE's top female star when she debuted?

Dana is just trying to appease those niche "fake and ghey" fan boys who still wear Affliction shirts......MMA and rasslin been sharing fans since jump street.

[Smart Marx]

Thank goodness the proof is in the pudding now, and I no longer have to hear certain people try to say that AEW (or the others named) isn’t competition.

 

[Smart Marx]

I will say as far as NWA goes Billy is leaning heavily into the new era concept heading out of 75 and what he’s doing so far I can’t say I hate it.

Brett Lauderdale punching air right now

Yeah, I think this is a much bigger burn than the NWA thing because I think even Billy understands that he’s not competing with the WWE.

UFC is the one purging their roster after this
