Why Professional Wrestling Is Better than MMA

Mixed martial arts is cool and all, but the sport has a long way to go before it’s as interesting and balls-out entertaining as professional wrestling.

The More the Merrier

Ask any wrestling fan: The only thing that can make a match between two awesome competitors better is by adding a third incredible wrestler. Or fourth, fifth or sixth for that matter. Hell, Money-In-The-Bank Matches typically have eight competitors, and they’re generally one of the most fun matches of the year.

But outside of some wackadoo promotions putting on skeezy three-way shows in Masonic Lodges, mixed martial arts is strictly a one-on-one affair. And with good reason, since there’s absolutely nothing safe about two highly-trained fighters teaming up on a third. But unfortunately, this means that UFC is never going to give us a Three-Way Dance, much less an Elimination Chamber Match.
