While Dana White is a walking testicle, I don't think there's anything to be outraged over. We're giving stigma to the word that it doesn't need to have, and it's not wrong to say that the competition in wrestling isn't real. You can obfuscate the issue by using any other word, but it doesn't change the accuracy of it. Giving him attention over it just plays into what he wants.

Whilst Punk probably wont say anything, I bet Ronda's chewed him out for it. Infact, we'd best check if the guy's okay. Ronda vs Punk would be epic. She'd whoop his ass. No, she wouldn't.

Person who is highly trained in legitimate martial arts for most of her life vs Person who has been seriously training in it for about a year/two years now. I'm taking Rousey in it. A lot of judo is using an opponents's weight against them so Punk wouldn't really stand a chance.

People say wrestling is fake all the time, hell a lot of us say it on a daily basis and no one bats an eye. I'm a bit shocked to see this level of ire over this. Mostly because it's Dana White

I think a lot of people confuse all the silly faux-MMA posturing Punk did for a lot of his WWE run for actual skill.

With a background, however remedial, in martial arts and has been receiving world class MMA training for several months now. Sorry, it's not "PC" and doesn't fit the Ronda is God narrative but assuming he'd go all out and could bring himself to hit her Punk knocks her out inside 20 seconds. Guaranteed.

Has nothing to do with anything I saw in WWE and everything to do with the fact he has a penis. She's not beating a guy who is bigger than her and also trained in her sport.

Anyways moving on from fantasy fights we'll never see... People say wrestling is fake all the time, hell a lot of us say it on a daily basis and no one bats an eye. I'm a bit shocked to see this level of ire over this. Mostly because it's Dana White I had no idea the dude was so hated here. Like I figured he just had normal scuzzy promoter cred and it ended there. A lot of these arguments I'm reading on the side of "well people get hurt" well, yeah accidents happen and bumps take their toll, no one is arguing against that. However, a lot of these arguments come off reading (were I an outsider) that fans actually think wrestling is REAL. All over twitter and even here if I wasn't entrenched in IWC culture to know what you mean by it, I swear I would think wrestling fans believe the shit is a straight shoot just based off of this. Like, reading dude's twitter responses he's getting... this is exactly why wrestling fans have such a bad rap to outsiders.

He's basically Vince without the crazy carny charm that we all love, and added meathead jock vibes. Doesn't help he gets drunk, goes on twitter and insults fans (Although not gonna lie, seeing Vince do that would be hilarious. " vincemcmahon WWE SUXS, TNA ROOLZ!"

I mean, don't get me wrong. The shit's fake. That's indisputable.
But at the same time, Dana should be smarter than to just say "well, shit's fake" when dealing with a WWE cornball on twitter when you just hired a fake fighter to fight for your company. That's more my issue. Quit responding to these idiots. Block exists for a reason. I'm not gonna feel bad for whatever backlash you get for responding to something you shouldn't have responded with to begin with.
Dana's also a colossal dickhead but that's another issue entirely.

Twitter does something to peoples minds.

I don't really care about what Dana White said, and it's not worth getting offended over, but I can see why people are annoyed. Part of the reason I'll pretty much never acknowledge to anyone I'm a wrestling fan is because I've gotten talked down to so many times with the "fake" thing. Not just the "you know it's fake,right?" thing when wrestling is brought up, but being actively mocked for having a reaction to a wrestling show because it's fake. I doubt there's many people talking about being excited for the finale of a TV show having to hear "why? Don't you know it's fake?"

See I literally pay zero attention to Dana White so this is all news to me. I try to if I'm honest, but it seems these days that any serious MMA discussion outside this board degenerates into how much of a wanker Dana is. That, combined with how he has a weird tendency to shit on his talents in interviews (Like, imagine if Vince did that rather than over-protect them on TV?) & all the chances he gave Jon Jones, really makes it difficult to just ignore him. Oh, and he also nearly deprived us of having Brock back after WM. Could never forgive him if that'd happened.

Not reading every page, has any WWE dude responded with anything? I saw the JB one and few indie guys.

Like, even with context, it's f***ing weird, way the dude starts crying and shit. Without context, it just looks like a bad break-up.
