There has been plenty of speculation about Conor McGregor one day joining the WWE. His ability to sell fights in the UFC has many wrestling fans (and likely Vince McMahon) seeing dollar signs written all over him. During the media call for UFC 202 prior to his fight against Nate Diaz, McGregor spoke a little bit about the WWE. It turned into him ripping Brock Lesnar and other WWE stars apart with some outspoken comments.
McGregor was asked if he ever considered going to the WWE:
“I have thought about it, for the most part, I think these guys are P****** to be honest. They’re messed up P****** if you ask me. Fair play to Brock, he got in and fought, but at the end of the day he was juiced up to the eyeballs, how can I respect that?” (UFC 202 Media Call).
McGregor continued, saying that there are some wrestlers he respects but s
“The other guy (CM Punk) hasn’t fought yet, so I don’t know about him yet. But there’s some dons in that wrestling game. The McMahons are Dons. Triple H is a Don. The Rock is a Don. But the rest of them are P******. I haven’t thought about that, to be honest. It’s a little more show business and this is the fight business” (UFC 202 Media Call).
Looks like we can throw our Conor McGregor for Wrestlemania 33 blog in the trash. Some strong comments for sure. I can’t imagine the WWE locker room being too happy about his comments about them.
