They’re totally right, too. It’s easy to forget on television, but most WWE wrestlers are freaking enormous. Let’s not forget what it looked like when the similarly sized Floyd Mayweather had a brief run in the WWE…
The angriest seemed to be pro wrestling legend Ric Flair. The stylin’, profilin’, limousine-ridin’, jet-flyin’, kiss-stealin’, wheelin’ dealin’ son of a gun popped off on McGregor with a series of tweets, accusing him of jacking his gimmick and saying that a number of pro wrestlers would smoke him in a shoot:

After Diaz finishes you again, I dare you to try guys like Dolph, Brock, or Fit.

Of course, all these wrestlers are basically playing into McGregor’s hands here. Much like McGregor’s feud with Mayweather, this is designed to generate controversy and he’s doing a great job of it!
I wonder if anything else will come of this…
