lol Yeah I hear ya...Chael's mouth has made him money. But the gravy train is screeching to a halt because he's failed to back his mouth up too many times. Saying shit like this does nothing for him, was my point. I don't see how this is him being a "heel" and working people, because it's more of a obvious troll is obvious situation. Everything does something. Even if this leads to nothing it will be another week of people talking about Chael. Exposure, potential fight with Wanderlei, trash talking, all that keeps him in media. And for most part that will keep him relevant enough so people will again tune hoping to see the big mouth get his ass kicked. Heel 1.01 only in MMA world. You know, I'm going to agree with you. It does work. It's just lame that it does. I like when he's cutting promos on fighters and saying witty stuff, but when it's just a random "react to this" statement it's annoying. There's no art in that. But I guess it's not about that.

Wasn't it also his intent to win some big fights? How did that work out for him?

He does a better wrestling promo than most the WWE roster (that's a dig at the WWE roster, not praise to this guy)

And he takes more testosterone than them, too.
Sonnen got a better chance of being TNA than he does with WWE. But since he knows its a slow news day and he needs something to distract people from his last asswhipping, cut a wrestling promo and watch the unaware trip over themselves to report it.

I really think we'll see him in WWE for an appearance or three. He's throwing their name around, his fight career is drying up, as said he's a great promo. With WWE's love for celebrities, promos, and special attraction matches, it feels inevitable.

What I find crazy is that people actually think he can cut a decent promo.

What I find crazy is that people actually think he can cut a decent promo. I think his problem would that he was exposed as someone who needs to have written this stuff up before hand and can't do one on the fly during the trash talking leading up to his fight with Michael Bisping.

I don't know why people think everything Chael Sonnen says has to be for some bigger purpose. The guy just says stupid shit just to say it. You don't need 3+ pages to analyze it.

This thread going three pages since this morning is testament to why he says this shit in the first place. I love Chael Sonnen, specifically because he's entertaining and will say ANYTHING.

Is he the same MMA mook that got all whining about not being shown on TV? No, he's the "MMA mook" that draws better as an actual wrestling character than anyone Vince has. It's funny how in 2013, in the cases of the big money fights, UFC does wrestling-style builds better than WWE. Its amazing how many people miss the fact that Chael is playing a heel and think his words are real. Almost like this isn't a wrestling forum. It's amazing how quickly you seem to forget that UFC/MMA is presented completely as a shoot and none of us should have to work out if a guy in a "real" sport is playing a character. That would mean that we'd have to question everything every sportsman has ever said because hey they might just be playing a character in a "real" bloody sport for no reason! I've always said MMA/UFC was worked but the fact is that they're supposed to just be real sportsmen, this would be like Rory McIlroy saying he wanted to buy Pepsi Co. when he retired and everyone jumping all over him because he acts a certain way. UFC fighters are supposed to be people, not characters. All combat sports are sold on personality in some shape or form. Muhammad Ali based his entire shtick on a combination of Gorgeous George and Buddy Rogers and became a household name for that as much as his amazing ability. Floyd Mayweather is a smarmy douche who plays it up because people want to see him fall. The only fights that draw a million buys in UFC are grudge matches wherein at least one of the combatants talk casuals into buying the show. Guys like Chael, Frank Mir, Nick Diaz, etc. Pure athleticism doesn't draw dogshit in combat sports without sizzle. And that's all been aped from Wrestling's presentation. People WANT to believe certain guys really hate each other, and then buy (sometimes boring, passionless) fights to see the payoff. It's identical to wrestling's allure. Personalities sell whether real or fake.
