IOW: Any business that man touches turns to shit. Believe it or not, PW was MUCH different when his father was at the helm.
If VKM gets his hands in, you can kiss goodbye any best vs best ideology. Expect grand intros by fighters like Phil Baroni, rather than the best fighters to be found.

WTF are you talking about? MMA and Pro wrestling are two different things. He knows this, I know this, but you seem not to. Are you that stupid? Why would he fix fights in real live MMA? Dana wouldn't allow him to do this, Dana has to much respect for us and the sport itself, and Vince knows this and probably has the same amount of respect himself. You do realize pro wrestling is fake don't you? They are not actually fighting, if he doesn't fix the fights how the fuck would they know what to do out there? It is just planned out entertainment that simulates actual violence.

If you don't know the difference between MMA and WWE something is seriously wrong.....
Why is it so cool to hate on rasslin'?....most of those guys can probably dish out a good ass whipping if needed.

LET ME PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE HERE:
Assume that this is true, and Vince McMahon gets on board w/ the UFC.
Wouldn't/Couldn't this potentially be better for the fighters? People (Fans and Fighters) are AAAAALWAYS AAALWAYS AAAALWAYS complaining about fighter pay. (Couture, Tito, Starnes, Fans for Jardine, etc...) If Vince brought his money into the fold...I WOULD THINK (assuming that Dana isn't that damn greedy) that this would mean more money for all fighters under the UFC fold.
Epecially if the company came up for public trade. If they came up for public trade, then they would be subject to a lot of the wage scrutiny that most fortune 500 companies are. WHICH AGAIN could mean higher initial contracts for lower tier fighters, bringing up the mean pay for all fighters, and calling a need to bump the pay of all fighters low, mid, high level accordingly.
It could be a good thing. I imagine that if we could all get used to a few changes such as...
1) Dana White entering the octagon via Zip Line. For big announcements.
2) Chute Box becoming MMA's nemsis squad when they toss a lead pipe into the cage for Werdum to KO Nog w/.
3) Anderson Silva accidentally knocking out Mirgliotta, allowing Okami the opportunity to bash Silva in the forehead w/ a steel chair, and apply a faux RCN just in time for Mirgliotta to wake up and call the match!
....IF WE CAN GET USE TO THAT HAPPENING FROM TIME TO TIME..then it'd be well worth the fighters getting EQUAL PAY!
