10 Uncomfortable Wrestling Truths
9. The Best Pro Wrestler On The Planet Doesn't Wrestle
Conor McGregor is the best professional wrestler on the planet.
Even before he worked himself into the biggest payday in the history of the sport, he lit up the UFC with the best promos in any combat sport. He's got as good a cackling sh*theel laugh as Ted DiBiase. He dresses as well as Ric Flair. He's got the same hard man aura as Brock Lesnar. His achievement as UFC's first ever dual-weight UFC champion is an actual, major achievement, unlike WWE's recent fit of fabrication. In terms of drawing prowess, he is to the UFC what Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan were to the WWF. His string of insults is as good or perhaps even better than The Rock's:
"I'll check the numbers and see if I'll change your bum life as well."
"Break out the red panties: we're rich, baby!"
"I'll rest my balls on your forehead."
"2015 was my year. 2016 is also my year. Every year is my f*ckin' year."
"You see fear in my eyes? You see nothin' in my eyes you little midget. You skinny little Brazilian f*ck."
"If this was a different time, I would invade his favela on horseback."
Meanwhile, in WWE, John Cena verbally castrated Roman Reigns on RAW this week with precisely none of that wit or charm.
