Why are more olympic style wrestlers choosing to go to MMA rather than going to pro wrestling?
by MasterBlaster on April 11, 2010
Before, there use to be more greco roman wrestlers going in to pro wrestling, and actually had good matches because they had more of a mat based ability. But now, more people choose MMA because it is more lucrative and less silly.
Do you think that the quality of pro wrestling is diminishing because of this, yes or no and why?

Because they were trained to wrestle. to injury your openant and optimise that. The form of wrestling the WWE uses is more for show then for anything else. Angle left because he just wasnt able to use his own techniques as it would hurt alot of guys which they simply couldnt afford to do. Olymics you get a yrs rest between serious matches WWE you dont and they cant afford to lose all their stars..
mcdoogle2004, you are wrong about Angle. he quit the WWE because he wanted time off and Vince McMahon wouldn’t give him time off plus he was in bad shape because he had many concussions and neck injuries from his Olympics days and his WWE career. when he left the WWE, then after he healed up, he joined TNA. he didn’t become a MMA fighter until recently. and the reason why Olympic style wrestlers are going to the MMA is because they don’t want to learn the wrestling moves of the professional version of wrestling. and that training is very hard. it takes from months to years to perfect the wrestling move sets they use including the finisher plus they have to learn to do promo cutting, creating gimmicks and other things that makes getting into pro wrestling hard.
