Joe Rogan Bashes Pro Wrestling

SOURCE: UFC's Joe Rogan Rips Pro Wrestling
Don't know if there was a thread about this yet, & if there is feel more than free to lock this one but

"Rogan noted that MMA was real, while wrestling "was some weird, f***ing jerk-off thing that strange guys do when they sit in front of the TV and pretend that they don't know it's fake."

Honestly why would anyone care what Joe Rogan has to say. And why all the petty 14 year old sounding insults?

I was listening to the show where he went on this whole tirade and I had no idea he was so ignorant.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Yeah Joe, keep saying that, the biggest draw in UFC history was a wrestler and is in WWE right now, the biggest star in UFC right now is a big wrestling fan, hell a lot of the fighters are big wrestling fans, and UFC has borrowed from wrestling in building characters and feuds. And it goes the other way. Don't rip the other while taking from them.

[Professor Chaos]

Sounds like he's trying to compensate for having a tiny weiner or something. Big man on campus Joe Rogan everybody.

[DragonMasterP]

He's just trying to start shit, as people involved with MMA tend to do. It's like a nerd picking on another nerd so he appears "cool" to others.

Didn't Joe Rogan get his big break hosting a show where people literally ate animal testicles?

[Tony Schiavontay]

From people I talk too, there are way more marks in MMA than wrestling at this point. A very large amount of people really believe in those UFC feuds.

[Perd]

Oh yeah, well, The Green Hornet sucked.

[RowdyRobbyPiper]

This is why I never watch MMA.

He must have hated having wrestlers on Fear Factor.

I just do not understand people who say things like this so flippantly. If you do not like something, that's fine. But to ignorantly put down a fan base is just sad. There's plenty of things I don't like or I'm not into that have large followings, but I just don't give it any thought rather than going on mindless tirades.

I'd say NewsRadio which was well before Fear Factor was his big break.

I completely forgot he was on that show. I just remember Phil Hartman and Dave Foley.

I saw this on the latest "Wrestling With Wregret".

This video pretty much sums it up what I think, especially Vader's response(though a little over the top):

My buddy used to listen to Rogan's podcast and I'd hear it sometimes. He came off like a decently intelligent, funny person who's gone way too far up his own ass. He's really into how awesome he is.

[BigJerichool222]

Wrestlers only PRETEND to be half-naked men rolling around on the ground with each other in various positions. MMA is the REAL DEAL.

[Andrew is Good]

I will say that UFC stole a lot from pro wrestling a lot. I know some people don't like Jim Cornette, but he likes to say UFC puts on the best professional wrestling out there, because while it's real, there are so many aspects that it takes from pro wrestling, intentionally and sometimes unintentionally. Jim Cornette compared Rhonda Rousey's win recently to Magnum TA beating people in 30 seconds with a belly to belly suplex. You had that Daniel Cormier/Jon Jones fight brawl, which I don't think it was fixed, but it doesn't matter, it's going to do big business on pay per view. Hell, UFC has done so well with many pro wrestling aspects, that WWE doesn't do any of this stuff anymore, or they do it so often where people don't care enough anymore.

How many brawls have Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose had? Sure, it can be exciting at times, but how much better would they be if they only happened once in a blue moon?

Excuse me, I sit in front of a monitor.
