5 things WWE does better than UFC

#4 Gimmick matches

Special attraction matches are a huge draw for WWE

We have seen many violent matches inside the octagon. In many of them, we’ve seen mixed martial arts practitioners put their lives and health on the line, to battle for championships and pride.

However, we’ve never seen MMA fighters being put through tables or jumping off Hell in a Cell.

Gimmick matches are still a huge draw in WWE. Since the workers involved are generally working with one another, and not working against each other, a lot of potentially life-threatening spots can be carried out in a safe environment.

This does change things up from your typical match and allows the performers involved to tell a compelling story that lasts the test of time. Cases in point- Undertaker vs Mankind in (actually on) Hell in a Cell, and Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon in the first ever ladder match in history.

The drama of gimmick matches helps keep WWE fresh!
