Which of these are more popular in Japan; MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) or Puroresu (Japanese pro wrestling)?

Question:

Answer:

Well, martial arts are apart of Japan culture. But a survey taken by the Central Research Services shows 6% of the Japanese watch Puroresu. Also, a lot of the wrestlers in Japan have some degree of knowledge in many different martial arts and wrestling styles.

So with all that being said, it is only a matter of opinion on what is more popular since there are no studies comparing Puroresu to MMA. In my opinion, Puroresu is more popular. On a side note: NTV canceled all wrestling programming in 2009 due to economic issues.
