WWE Stars Respond To Tom Segura's Burial Of Pro Wrestling
"The ads should say, WWE: This Is For People With Diminished Capacity".
Social media has blown up over disparaging comments from comedian Tom Segura about pro wrestling.
Amongst other things, Segura said on his 'Your Mom's House' podcast that "wrestling is for f*cking r*tards", "it's f*cking fake and you're a f*cking idiot" if you're over the age of 11 and like it, along with weaving in some disparaging remarks about the Special Olympics.
Now, after Twitter cut through his offensive rant, some within WWE are also taking Tom to task.
'King' Corbin called Segura a piece of sh*t (using a poop emoji in place of that word), Ricochet said he was a big fan of the comedian's work but said he was disappointed, and Abyss offered to show Segura how real wrestling can be.
The most measured response came from Dolph Ziggler - he sent out an open request to teach Segura more about the business and why it should be respected. Replying, Segura said, "Come on over".
Look out for an episode of 'Your Mom's House' featuring a certain WWE 'Show Off' very soon. That should be interesting, but maybe not as interesting as what Abyss had in mind...
