5 reasons why being a pro-wrestler is harder than being an MMA fighter

#1 Career ending injuries for a sport that’s considered ‘fake’

Edge was forced to vacate his title and retire prematurely

WWE biggies like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Edge were forced to an early egress because of injuries sustained during matches that were apparently ‘staged’ and ‘choreographed’. While most wrestling matches are choreographed, a lot of it is at the discretion of the superstars performing it.

There are times when the moves don’t go as per plan, (because to err is human) resulting in injuries that have serious repercussions. While MMA fighters, namely Conor McGregor, have called out WWE superstars, calling WWE “fake”, they should be reminded that the hazards associated with the ‘fake sport’ are 100 percent legit.

WWE is altogether a different ball-game and not all of the hopefuls make it to the top of the success ladder.
