The very last thing.

That is what killed the XFL (well,  one of the things!).

You do know their current poster boy and heavyweight champion is a former WWE superstar, yes?  And that they crosspromote with TNA on Spike?

I knew there was a reason I didn't pay attention to this sport much. 

Pro Wrestling isn't a sport.  It's a soap opra and any "real" professional sports organization associated with it is tarnished IMHO.

Out with the drama.  Lets get right to the sport for crying out loud.

If they're truly in bed with pro-wrestling,  that's sad.

They're not "in bed" with them but they didn't shy away from using the network's dime to advertise during TNA.  And they didn't shy away from using Lesnar's WWE past and fanbase to sell PPV buys.  Lesnar isn't a paper champion - the guy manhandled Randy Couture and is a former NCAA heavyweight champion too.  Honestly, I think it's a sign that Dana White thinks the sport is so past the potential pro wrestling stigma that he doesn't even see that as a threat anymore.  He's probably right.

It was a dig at Chad. He knew I was joking.
