Yeah, wrestling isn't for everyone. It's definitely something that swings from niche to mainstream. However, Europe has quite a stronghold in wrestling. At least parts of it. WWE and UFC are huge in promoting in Europe. There are tons of indy promotions in both pro wrestling and mma. The crossover is huge right now in the US because of Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey. But there are many mma fighters who cross over into pro wrestling. Zeda Zhang is one of those girls. She was a figher and jits girl first. Now she does wrestling. In NXT their last woman's champ was an mma fighter first. Many of the woman have mma backgrounds. Tom Lawlor who was a very popular fighter who ended up in the UFC, is the Major League Wrestling's current champ. It's just blurring the lines between real and fixed fighting. We all know that even Pride had fixed fights on it's card with legit fights. It's always been there, and now pro wrestling has had some resurgence, really due to the popularity of UFC and MMA in my opinion. However, wrestling has always had the swing up into big money and mainstream interest. You have to remember also, that pro wrestling's roots come from actual catch wrestling events that eventually became a work to sell more tickets. We may see a lot of MMA become works if you think about it. Just look at how the UFC has morphed into very WWEish storylines with people like Conor McGregor... we could be on the tip of the lines blurring more than we know.
