    Yesterday Ronda Rousey discussed her transition from MMA to WWE during a media scrum and said she thinks WWE is 'tougher physically' than MMA, but 'easier mentally'

    This has been said by other guys who have done both. Bumping every night would be more taxing on the body than a fight every few months.

    There is a reason why in Japan for example women didn't really pro-wrestle once they hit 30 - 35. Their bodies would be broken down.

    I didn't think about that, but that frequency argument kinda makes sense interms of wear and tear over the long haul.

    Most pro wrestlers have issues with pain meds due to the constant abuse their bodies get doing shows so many times a week. Even though it is entertainment, their bodies still take a huge amount of abuse from the stunts that they perform.

    Pro wrestling is pretty damn tough... But that's a stretch.

    The only question I have is: how is her Honda doing?
