What's even more retarded is this guy has worked his whole life in PRO WRESTLING, an entire form of entertainment created so you could have sports but scripted out results so there wasn't blowouts etc.
He literally ran his own wrestling promotion, he'd never book a mega hyped up main event dream match to go this way.
Difference is, wrestling matches are scripted to make them more entertaining, while legitimate sporting events are fixed to make make money from gambling.
Rhonda was the favorite to win, and I think most would have bet she'd win in less than a minute- so that doesn't seem like a reason for Gina to throw it that quickly.
Plus she was paid a ton of money for the fight, why risk it for a little more?
It depends, during Brock Lesnar's first run with WWE he was squashing main event stars like John Cena, Randy Orton, and The Rock. The point was to make Lesnar look like an unbeatable monster.
Wrestling is separate from competition in that the matches are in service to the story. And in actual competitions the stories are in service to the match.
He squashed Cena when Cena was a nobody, then again after he'd already been a UFC champ. He never squashed the other 2. You should have mentioned Goldberg beating Lesnar on his return, but they had already fought a competitive match at WM 20 and it was to setup return matches, neither woman seem to want to fight each other.
Rousey is already over as a big star and has beaten girls quickly before, that wasn't even her fastest fight. There would be no reason to fake this fight in this way.
I'm not confusing anything. The claim was "during Brock Lesnar's first run with WWE he was squashing main event stars like John Cena" but during Brock Lesnar's first run Cena wasn't a main event star. Cena's 1st WM match, where won his 1st title (US over Big Show), was Lesnar's last match of his 1st run. Cena was just starting to get over with his rap gimmick ("That's a nice tattoo of your mother on your back") during his 1st program with Brock, they were squashes but not over a main event Cena.
Brock didn't squash main event Cena until his post-UFC return, he actually lost to Cena his 1st match back in 2012- it wasn't until Summerslam 2014 when he had his 1st win over main event Cena which was a squash. Orton also wasn't a main event guy in Lesnar's 1st run, Lesnar didn't actually squashany main event guys his 1st run though he beat Rock, Hogan, Taker, Angle etc they were competitive matches.

This is your brain on TDS, kids.

You're confusing two separate eras.
Lesnar beat Cena for the first time before he did any MMA stuff. When he came back in 2012 post-UFC, Cena was the face of the company.
