'Real' Sport Ad Says Wrestling Fake, McMahon Pissed

wrestling_fake_mcmahon.jpg

Apparently the only human alive who still believes professional wrestling is real, World Wrestling Entertainment Chairman Vince McMahon is upset over an ad for Spike TV's Ultimate Fighting Championship which says, "What's real? Pro wrestling? No. Boxing? Not anymore. The UFC is real!" The ad aired during a Spike TV broadcast of WWE RAW angering McMahon. Perhaps to save itself from the wrath of McMahon, Spike TV removed reference to pro wrestling from ads aired during WWE RAW but left the reference in ads aired during other programming.

I'm a big World Wrestling Entertainement fan. Now I know that this sport is 50% fake. Not all of it. Even Hulk Hogan himself said that it's fake in his own book. But anyway this sport is still a sport and is really very entertaining. You can still find a lot of WWE fans in the United States. it's more entertaining than the NFL than Base Ball, than Hockey, then the NBA... The injuries are really true.I still would've liked the World Wrestling "Federation" name.

Who cares if WRESTLING is fake or not people ??? It's entertaining. You shoul see the TNA. It's another wrestling company. Now this is really fake. Mr. Mcmahon is not a good boss. He's ruining The WWE. I really don't think that the women's wrestling is necessary!!!! It's so stupid. No one wants to see women wrestling and get knoked out !!!!!!!!!! FAKE but really ENTERTAINING. WWE smackdown on UPN every friday. WWE raw on USA network every monday. Check this out !!!!
