Pro Wrestlers react to Ronda Rousey and her comments about “Real Fighters”
Professional wrestlers for WWE took to social media to comment on Ronda Rousey and her recent comments about what “real fighters” are.
Rousey made headlines this week when she criticized professional wrestling fans and then doubled down on it by calling wrestling matches “fake fights for fun,” insinuating what MMA fighters do is far more difficult and tougher. The comments were highly controversial and have led to a mostly negative reaction that Rousey did not expect.
The comments left a bad taste in the mouths of both professional wrestling and MMA fans, who felt Rousey turned her back on those that made her famous. Now, some pro wrestlers are coming out and standing up for themselves after Rousey dissed them, though some supported her as well. Take a look at a sample of what some of WWE’s superstars wrote on their social media.
