Why can't pro wrestlers fight in this style? seems safe

It's boring for today's audience

i mean these guys are doing actual street fights, but in wwe they could mimic it and dress it up as needed when needed.

Because they can get something real. This would only make it look even worse.

>something real
A grown man yelling ARRRAAOOOOOO and spamming shitty looking superman punches does not real.

shoot-style definitely seems a lot safer in the long term

Why not just watch real MMA?

This shit is a joke.

It's a real shame that Suzuki and Funaki got their bodies broken from their days in UWF and especially Pancrase. Suzuki was a monster on the ground, he's probably one of the most technical submission wizards in the world. If he was only 4-5 inches taller and had better striking, he would've been unstoppable.

You see this is what Japanese pro-wrestling should've been like in the 1950's. Guys who can do open palm strikes to the head, clinching with knees to the body and head, can punch and elbow to the body, do kicks and sweeps alongside the stand-up grappling and groundfighting. Basically a mix of everything I think is great from Knockdown Karate, Sumo, Muay Thai, Savate, Pancrase, Shoot, and Pride.

I forgot about bare-knuckle boxing. Not many people realize that pre-Queensbury fighters had a very unique style of combat that involved elbows for defense, slaps to the head (because punches would break your hand), throws, strangleholds in upright position, kicks, and other nifty tricks.

UFC is struggling to maintain a loyal viewership and they are 100% real.

>>3083257
I kinda miss the early days of the UFC when they had Style vs Style. I love MMA as it is now, but seeing different forms of combat against one another with little rules made things interesting.

>>3082151
I will tell you why.

Scared of it plus they don't teach it unless you go to Uwfi snake pit.

If they could find a way to organize an amateur fighting promotion where they only have 1 discipline McDojo guys, (this guy is a sumo wrestler, this guy knows ninjutsu, krav maga instructor) it would be way more entertaining for sure.

As much as I didn't really care for some of those worthless styles you can't deny how ballsy the early UFC participants were for stepping in and getting potentially injured. Only Brazilians thanks to Vale Tudo, the Russians via Combat Sombo, and Japanese via Shooto knew the importance of having people equally versed in Striking and Groundfighting application. Everyone else was still stuck in their one-art is supreme mode. Even today, a pure BJJ fighter would get curb-stomped if they don't have knowledge of checking low kicks, how to deal with sprawl and brawl fighters, guys with dirty boxing or Muay Thai clinchin.
