5 reasons it's tougher to be a WWE superstar than a UFC fighter
Let me begin by saying that I do like mixed martial arts. I'm a comparatively new fan, but have absolutely fallen in love with the sport. I can say with pride that I've watched every single UFC pay-per-view for the last two years. In fact, I've watched most of them live.
But it really gets my goat when I'm told that because I've started watching mixed martial arts, I should stop watching professional wrestling altogether. Even though it is a scripted sport, there are aspects to professional wrestling that are incredibly difficult to master and perfect. I shall detail a few of them in this article.
When I was asked to do this article and list the aspects of wrestling that are tougher to master than MMA, I lapped up the opportunity. By all means, leave a comment and let me know if I make sense or am just ranting and raving.
Here are 5 things that make it tougher to be a WWE superstar than a UFC fighter.
#5 The gruelling schedule
You may only see your favourite WWE superstar on TV once a week, or at most, twice a week, if your name is John Cena. Actually, in his particular case, you may not see him at all.
A WWE superstar also has a vast number of live events to do during the week. A top WWE superstar may have to work as many as 200 days a year. And this is not even counting the media appearances and the reality shows like Total Divas, that some of them are currently involved in.
A UFC superstar rarely fights more than a mere handful of times a year. Even a 100 scripted fights can be incredibly difficult to participate in.
