6 Reasons why pro-wrestling is a better art form than MMA

Is scripted really worse?

#3 Well choreographed moves:

These moves have to be done just right!

Another important reason why some people prefer pro-wrestling over Mixed Martial Arts is because of the seemingly well choreographed violent maneuvers that can pass off as genuinely strong strikes. The drop-kicks and the piledrivers are all incredibly dangerous moves to hit somebody with.

If not executed carefully, wrestling moves can land wrestlers up in hospitals for months. Brock Lesnar's Shooting Star from the top rope onto Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 19 famously sent Lesnar to the hospital for a neck surgery.

But the choreography isn't just restricted to in-ring high-flying manoeuvres. Even the more brawly strikes like a chair shot and throwing someone through glass are also carefully executed. Making the audience go "Holy Sh*t" with insane real-time stunts executed in one go is nothing short of brilliance.

Legendary pro wrestler Bret "The Hitman" Hart said in his documentary that there is no art in hitting someone. The art comes when you hit a pro-wrestler in such a way that it looks violent and yet does minimal damage to his body.

And we damn well agree with the man.
