Lately, there seems to be more of a MMA influence in pro wrestling. For example, a few weeks back, Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle, for a large part of their match, used MMA-based offense like low kicks and ground and pound, The Undertaker uses a gogoplata as a finisher and I think ROH's Davey Richards uses a kimura as a submission finisher.
What do you all think of this? Do you think pro wrestling should include more elements of MMA, if so, what? Or should MMA and wrestling just stay seperate?
It's one of the toughest submissions in bjj and can only be achieved if you are well versed in the rubber guard and are able to catch an opponent.
While Taker may enjoy mma he should have used a much more realistic finisher that someone his size could easily pull off like an anaconda or a triangle, not one of the toughest submissions the gogo.

I dnt think Wrestling should do MMA but rather do a Japanese style influence its hard hitting without the rules of MMA and i think these could work better than Wrestling trying to do things that there not,

There'll be no sorrow there, no more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no more pain, no more parting over there;
And forever I will be with the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
I personally like the odd MMA move injected here and there - gives wrestling a different feel to it and freshen up the product a bit. I like taker's Gogo hold - just not during the match itself. If it was built up as a move outside of matches - like orton's punt to the head - it would be fine. but by applying it during the match, his shoulders are on the mat and should technically be counted as a pin, much like the surfboard hold.

Thats what i said during mania. His shoulders were down for at least a ten count. Edge should still be champ. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
