World Wrestling Entertainment’s Mixed Martial Arts Potential

What amazing feedback... thanks to everyone.

I should have been clearer that I in no way do I think WWE should attach the WWE brand to MMA. As most mentioned above, it would clearly confuse people as to the legitimacy of the sport. It doesn't mean they can't keep MMA as a separate league and still use their corporate prowess and managerial skills to their fullest advantage there, though.

I have read that Shane McMahon is a big proponent of the sport, but that his mother Linda McMahon has said she thinks the sport will die out as a fad. Those comments were from over a year ago though, and one has to wonder if there has been any change of opinion based on the success the sport has seen since that time.

There is another great article on Yahoo Sports today about competition for talent in MMA if anyone is interested-

Thanks for all of the comments and emails.
