Warriors: WWE or UFC

With the discussion in class concerning the WWE and their effect on the minds of the public, especially the large following, it concerned me that the real fighters weren’t being acknowledged for the real beating that their bodies and their personal lives take, UFC and by extension professional boxing. After seeing the cinematic movie “Warrior” it showed me the real battle that these UFC fighters but themselves through and even in boxing compared to the performance of the WWE; yet the WWE has the largest following. In the recent years UFC has become more and more popular by reaching out to a larger crowd with paper-view and having more broadcasted fights.
Now either way both forms of fighting are quite barbaric and WWE is definitely not my cup of tea, but after being to some of the UFC fights and boxing matches and knowing some fighters, I have a lot more respect for these fighters than the WWE. The treatment women fighters with their skits for the entertainment directly can affect how some of their younger viewers treat other peers and especially women later in life.

"Warrior" is a great example of the true meaning of wrestling is and how much pain and training that the fighters go thorugh in order to be successful in the UFC organization, and also sheds some light on recreational wrestling and boxing, unlike what the WWE fighters do. I do however that it is entertainment for the masses and it is a way of life and financial support for themselves and their families.

WHICH ONE WOULD YOU IDOLIZE??
