Yeah. Like movies. And books. And tv shows.
...Like I don't give a shit about whether people care about wrestling or not. It's an admittedly silly thing. But the 'it's not real' argument legitimately mystifies me.

Glad to see judging by most of these early posts Rogan hasn't baited wrestling fans into trashing MMA. This has nothing to do with wrestling fans vs. MMA fans and everything to do with Rogan being an ignorant douchebag.

Didn't Joe Rogan get his big break hosting a show where people literally ate animal testicles? If it wasn't for the Chappelle Show Fear Factor skit, I would have no idea who this guy is.

I don't find wrestling fans any more strange than the raging alcoholic frat boys in Tap Out shirts which comprise a good majority of MMA's fanbase.

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

I always find it funny when people try to take a shot at wrestling by saying "it's not real, it's fake" as if that's the ultimate insult. As if we don't know that the fighting isn't "100% completely real", I mean it's hilarious. People know it's not as "real" as MMA and yet they still watch it. They don't watch it for the real life mimicking, they watch it for the storytelling, athletic ability, psychology and the characters. That's one reason why people can't get into MMA (myself for example). I know it's real fighting, I know they do damage but I don't want to watch because of that. It doesn't interest me, it's not bad but it just doesn't capture me, I'm just not entertained by real fighting. Maybe if they had some some actual characters, amazing spots, storytelling and interesting segments I'll pay attention. It's more than the fighting. It's sports entertainment, not just sports.
I just don't get these people.

I've always thought Rogan was a sharp dude, but he's also always been bit of a douchebro and I can't stand those people.

Yeah, that fake wrestling stuff is so stupid and for losers.
MMA, on the other hand, is brilliant. HGH neanderthals participating in human cockfighting? That's for real men.
Joe Rogan is a talent-less hack and always has been.

I like Joe when he's doing UFC stuff, but his views on rasslin barely scratch the surface on things he's flat out ignorant about.

You know, I can understand some of y'all being upset over what he said about wrestling and the fan base but showing the same level of ignorance and hatred toward MMA and that fan base only proves him right.
Not to mention we have a decent amount of MMA fans on here that don't deserve to be painted with that brush.

Joe Rogan is practically flamebaiting wrestling fans to make YouTube styled comments towards MMA fans proving his point right. Which is what some of you are doing right now.

I really don't like MMA, but stuff like this isn't going to magically make me "see the light" and become an MMA fan.

I don't have anything against people who do.

Honestly i'm a fan of both and i can see his argument on fans who pretend or still believe it's completely real it just makes us all look stupid

Why does this Joe Rogan find me "weird" for watching wrestling but not for weird if I watch two men in pants rolling on the ground and groping each other in UFC?
