I think you all are missing the point. I don't want worked mma. I want pro wrestling that presents itself as a legitimate sport. But it's not a legitimate sport and everyone knows that. Like many have said, why would someone who cares about rankings and logical title shots watch fake sports when their are tons of real sports that do that? Maybe I'm misinterpreting your original point. I think the best way to go is to have pro wrestling with all the goofy characters and over-the-top storylines, but it is produced and covered by the commentators like its a real sport. I'm thinking like WWF 1991-92 with their Fox NFL Sunday style Primetime wrestling debate panel or many of the territories in the 80s. I think that's the problem today. The crazy storylines are not the problem. It's the tongue in cheek promos and commentary that takes you out of that universe and shoves it down your throat that it's fake, leading me to go "Yeah it is. Why am I watching this stupid crap where even the characters on the show know its fake? What else is on?" Primetime Wrestling was awesome, I would love WWE to bring back something like it.
