10 Reasons MMA/Wrestling Crossover Trend Is "Best For Business"

5. It Helps Both MMA And Pro Wrestling Discover New Talent

You know what's hard to find? Good talent. That's true of any industry, but especially true in athletics. MMA is looking for guys and girls who can promote themselves, talk on the mic, stand out in a crowd. Pro wrestling, at least in this era, needs guys and girls who will bring new eyeballs, and have an air of legitimacy to them. Vince McMahon's concept of two big guys working a stiff bout is quickly circling the drain. That's why wrestlers like CM Punk, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Daniel Bryan are so popular (and perhaps why Roman Reigns is not). Well, there are plenty of guys from the MMA world who could excel in the WWE, and fit in with the company in the current state it's in. The bigger names also come with a built-in fanbase. And again, the cross-over can work both ways.
