    This is becoming more & more True in Japan
    Were They Like There action to be as Real
    As it Can get.

    There are many Pro wrestlers involved
    in Vale Tudo, Kazusih Sakuraba, Kazuki Fujita
    Don Frye & Ken Shamrock.

    Even Mark Colmen has stepped in.

    It's a real shame that the two are related IMHO.

    Does no good for the image of Vale Tudo.

    I

    Have always been a Fan of Pro Wrestling
    Since i was about 6 at that time it was real to me.
    As i grew up i learned that it was a Fixed Event
    But still i respect them.

    To me it is verry much a Martial Art

    Sorry Acekicken but IMO pro wrestling is garbage. May be fun to watch(not to me) but nowadays it seems like a soap opera. Others I know think the same. To much drama. They show tons of disrespect and I agree with Yoda.

    I wouldn't go as far as to say they show tons of disrespect....

    I don't think the two should be related, but I don't see why they can't exist and entertain people in the own right.

    To be fair I don't think MMA fighting would have got much (if any) TV coverage at all if it wasn't for Pro Wrestling lasting so long and catering for such a big market.

    It's all about the numbers baby!

    Oh i don't disagree that Pro wrestling is entertainment to some and maybe helped Vale Tudo. All the wrestling fans probably look at it and were hooked. IMHO It may detract from the image of Vale Tudo as Pro wrestling is set up and Vale Tudo is not.

    Although I don't want a relation I don't see why Pro wrestling can't exist separately as pgm316 said.
