Sheamus, Mick Foley, Bull Dempsey, Joey Styles and More React to Dana White’s “Fake” Wrestling Comments

August 2, 2015

As noted, Dana White angered a lot of fans and pro wrestlers when he called pro wrestling “fake” during a Twitter battle with a fan.

More pro wrestlers, including WWE star Sheamus, and WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, have reacted to Dana White’s remarks, as you can see in the Tweets below:

“Fake” was a poor word choice by @danawhite. @RondaRousey‘s tribute to Roddy is a heartfelt move from the most popular fighter in the world.

Hey @danawhite, come to the @WWEPerformCtr & see what we do EVERYDAY & tell me it’s fake. Send your “ultimate” fighters too. How dare you.

@MLPChristian69 I pissed off wrestling fans? I respect wrestling and the people who do it. I was just responding to an idiot. It was a joke

(1/2) @danawhite, “fake” infuriates @WWE Superstars, Divas & fans because the injuries are real and happen more often than they do in @UFC.

— Joey Styles (@JoeyStyles) August 2, 2015

(2/2) Perhaps you could please tweet that @UFC, like boxing, costs more than @WWE because they are sports rather than sports entertainment.
