Exactly. Saying that everything he touches turns to shit is a little unfair. His ideas just suck. He didn't start the UFC, therefore it shouldn't bomb as horribly as those two.

You know WWE is meant for entertainment. Why the fuck would he turn MMA into WWE? That would surely turn fans away and ruin the sport. Vince is about making money. MMA is great how it is, so Vince isnt gonna ruin it. Besides Vince is just getting into this for the money, I guaren DAMN tee that he is gonna be like the fertittas and never be seen, while Dana still runs the show. Besides WWE marketing and promotion is way better than what the UFC currently has. It was like PRIDE, which the hardcore fans loved. I actually hope this is true. UFC will still be the same, but with a tune up.

WAR WWE FUSION WITH UFC!!! SHAW IS GOIN DOWN!!!

I agree a little. I don't think that McMahon would be stupid enough to taint the sport. BUT, I still think his involvement will bring MMA down a notch in many, many people's eyes. And that is enough to sour my view of his involvement.

And I have to ask, how do Dana's nuts taste?? Are they better than Shaw's? Is that why you hate on EXC?

They sell based on estimated future value of the company, and if this MMA craze falters, well thats the new owners problem.

Buy low, sell high, that's pretty much basic investing.

Dammit quit saying "the sport is at its apex". Do you have any idea what you're saying? What kind of fan are you?

Gary Shaw, Kimbo, and now Vince McMahon. This is not good!

McMahon has proven he can do one thing, and do it well: sensationalized, steroid-fueled stage wrestling that invariably appeals to the lowest common denominator and the stupidest people on the planet.

He did this on his own with his own ideas, did he not? He didn't partner to someone who was already established, he was just trying a new idea right? Sometimes ideas fail you know, even yours. YEAH, EVEN YOURS FAIL SOMETIMES. That is, if you even have ideas who knows you may just be a follower.

XFL was a football league that McMahon started. it was supposed to make football more entertaining by getting rid of the stuff that makes football boring like instant replays and timeouts. it encouraged the players to play rougher and eliminated penalties. but it failed miserably. i think the games were fixed too.
