In a rant through his official Twitter account, former ECW Champion, WWE superstar, and TNA talent Taz goes off on Dana White for calling WWE “fake” in response to how cheap the WWE Network is. White, who is the President of UFC, claims that the WWE Network should only be $9.99, because it’s “fake.”
I wish I could watch the Rousey fight tmrw night. Vince got you beat there @danawhite. Our PPV’s are only $9.99. ?

White responded with,
@RKORollins I hear u bro but fake shit should be 9.99 — Dana White (@danawhite) August 1, 2015
The fan continued to egg on White, who finally told him,
@RKORollins trust me my friend….. IT’s FAKE
— Dana White (@danawhite) August 1, 2015
This sent fans of both UFC and WWE into tirades on Twitter, including Taz, who had the following to say,
What’s fake & what’s predetermined? @danawhite my body is busted up from that “fake shit” – u think u train less? https://t.co/oD5qUs7drz — TAZ (@OfficialTAZ) August 1, 2015

White’s last tweet about the situation reads as follows,
@RKORollins not disrespecting what they do. All the WWE guys I have met are awesome people but yes it’s fake. — Dana White (@danawhite) August 1, 2015
UFC 190, featuring “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey in the main event, will air on Pay-Per-View on Aug. 1. Rousey, who asked “Rowdy” Roddy Piper for permission to use his moniker, has dedicated her UFC 190 bout to the late WWE Hall of Famer.
Editor’s Note:
Looks like Taz got HOT! The dreaded “F-word” to wresting fans. Man. Still as hurtful today as it was 50 years ago.
