SpikeTV adervertising the UFC opposing wrestling

Has anyone in the states seen the UFC commercail when they ask what's real and they say wrestling and boxing aren't but Ultimate Fighting is?

To me, that's an insult to say wrestlings not real on an tv commercal, especally when wrestling is still on their network (at least for now) making them top cable ratings. And when WWE is gone TNA is going to take their place, so what's the hell with their ad campeign?

That's not the point..

Why would they openly diss wrestling when they have a deal with TNA? Are they idiots?

They aren't dissing it, they are just saying it isn't real.

Which to me was dissing it..they are basically comparing wrestling and MMA and saying that MMA is better because it's real, while they have a deal with a wrestling company..

Why did they even bring up wrestling at all? Everyone knows it isn't real and only a fool would try and compare the two...MMA and wrestling have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Erm.. Didnt Matt Hardy pretty much expose the business last week on RAW anyway?

Didnt every season of tough enough prove it wasnt real?

Doesnt every 'dont try this at home' clip clearly state it isnt real?

Im failing to see the issue here

The issue is that Spike TV has a deal with TNA and the commercial was telling people that UFC is better than TNA..Why would you put down one of your products to promote another? It's not smart business.
