Cross sport transfers should be more appreciated!

Brock, Rhonda, Conor, Punk, Lashley, and whoever else I'm missing that jumps right in the big leagues of another sport speaks volumes of that person's character, will, and is a testament to their self-confidence. This is something that can be a tool for any discipline martial arts or fitness school. The ability to flex into another premier league at the very top level of competition is not widely recognized by average athletes. The hardcore athletes know what it takes to do what these guys have done. Call it a money grab, call it what you will, but they have the athletic ability along with a following that enables them. However, let the hating continue as it will. From my perspective, good on all of you who strive, not ok only those on the big stage, but just with day-to-day progression. Shits not easy...

Pro wrestling is not a sport. Conor competed in another sport and held his own for awhile against the best. Many of those you mentiined did well in other sports before MMA. Ronda judo, Brock college wrestling…Etc.

I acknowledge wrestling is not a sport, but you must acknowledge that wrestling entertainment usually requires a high level of athleticism and commitment; it is impossible to ignore the parallel

I've been paid to compete in 4 sports....
