I am not usually a fan of real fighting. After all, I believe there is a reason we started faking it. Real fighting isn\u2019t interesting enough. Toss in some bouncy ropes and a couple well-timed backflips and suddenly fight seems fun. Fighting did actually seem fun on Saturday night though. Whether is was the solid company in a Buffalo Wild Wings located in the center of Suburbia, the interesting event, or the hypnotic effects of a yellow octagon mat, I\u2019m not sure (actually, it was the company). What I am sure of is WWE\u2019s failure to capture the imaginations of potential fans on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with some background information: many UFC fans are lapsed or potential WWE fans. You see it all over the internet. UFC people tend to talk about \u201cwhen wrestling was good in the Attitude Era\u201d or \u201cwhen it felt real\u201d and while these views tend to over-praise the late 90\u2019s (which were more than slightly terrible), they show an affinity for what wrestling could be. In many ways, UFC shows the evolution of what mainstream professional wrestling could have been if it had evolved past 1997.<\/p>\n<p>Before Brock Lesnar\u2019s victorious return to the eight sides of chain link, WWE had the opportunity to roll a commercial. This may not seem like much, but sitting in the bar on Saturday night and seeing this roll on a UFC pay-per-view was more than slightly surreal. WWE\u2019s commercial was for Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Orton at SummerSlam. This was a logical thing to do. People are excited about seeing Brock again. Some of these people may have forgotten that Brock, aside from being a UFC fighting man, also plays \u201cThe Beast Incarnate\u201d on WWE TV. It was a solid opportunity to remind them.<\/p>\n<p>WWE went about reminding people in the wrong way. Instead of telling the amazing parallel stories of Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton, WWE chose to show an overly orange video with competitors taking abuse from each man while commentators spouted catchphrases and silly nicknames. In a sense, WWE chose to show everyone why they don\u2019t watch professional wrestling. This was a poor decision.<\/p>\n<p>This creative choice wouldn\u2019t be so easy to critique if there wasn\u2019t a noticeably better way. WWE could have shown a 60 second mini-documentary style show. They could have told us about Orton and Lesnar training together in OVW, being contenders for 2002\u2019s Rookie of the Year (a fictional award WWE could easily ret-con into existence), and both being the youngest men to capture WWE\u2019s top prize(s). Brock left WWE in 2004 as Orton started to rise. Orton became a legend (and legend killer, if you want to be witty) in Lesnar&#8217;s absence. After Brock returned, they never faced off. Orton&#8217;s returning from injury looking to prove he belongs. Brock is looking to continue dominating the WWE scene where he hasn&#8217;t been truly beat since 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Let a voice-over artist do the heavy lifting as the video makes it seem like both men\u2019s careers have been heading to this point all along.<\/p>\n<p>WWE chose to offer way too much flash and sizzle, in hopes of exciting people, when they could have relied on the exceptional story Orton and Lesnar\u2019s lives tell. This illustrates the key problem with WWE storytelling. They want to pump everything full of trademarked phrases and spectacle instead of telling a real story. I learned nothing about Orton and Lesnar from WWE\u2019s sepia-toned waste of space. I didn\u2019t leave the bar on Saturday looking forward to what was next for Brock.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, all over this show, fans saw UFC telling compelling stories about fighters as people. Each video did have a forced narrative, but these narratives were close enough to truth for fans to buy into them. It\u2019s easy to manipulate truth to tell a story than to create an entire fiction. This is especially true when one relies on JBL and Michael Cole to voice this fiction.<\/p>\n<p>WWE made a major tactical error on Saturday night. They had the attention of the world as Brock Lesnar fought and they chose to offer silly spectacle over substance. I wish I could say I was surprised, but it\u2019s just what WWE does.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-2743635705\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Lower-level creative minds within WWE, fans, and even wrestlers themselves know how to tell better stories than the whole of WWE does.

This was a major missed opportunity, but not a surprising one.<\/p>\n<p><i>Will Pruett writes about professional wrestling, pop culture, and anything else he feels like writing about.
