Wrestling World Reacts To Ronda Rousey’s Recent Comments

You had to expect something like this after what Rousey said. Like so many other sports, wrestling is like a family. Yes they will fight a lot and get into it with each other, but woe unto anyone who dares have something bad to say about the family as a whole. This can include outsiders or former insiders who aren’t happy with the way things went. That is the case again, but it is a big name from the outside with something to say.

One of the biggest stories over the last week has been Ronda Rousey’s comments on her time in WWE. Rousey made it clear that she loved working with the women in the company but was not pleased with the fans, who she described as “ungrateful” and referring to wrestling as “fake fighting”. It was not the most flattering interview for the wrestling industry and various people involved in said industry have responded in kind.

Some wrestling personalities have responded to Rousey’s interview, with some responding kindly and others responding negatively. There have been comments from current wrestlers saying that they wanted to fight Rousey as a result and some from previous wrestlers who agree with what Rousey said. There are also comments from current wrestlers who agree with Rousey as well.

YOU SAID IT RONDA BUBBA

I have NO WORDS for her audacity to save “fake fighting” !!!!!! If it’s fake why can’t @RealPaigeWWE & @TJWilson can’t wrestle anymore ?? If it is fake why couldn’t @EdgeRatedR wrestle for 11 years ???? This is a contact sport where REAL things happen! https://t.co/cYvGpTjmci

Opinion: I’m still not sure what to think of this as Rousey is the kind of person who could be working people to get heat on herself or could be saying something like this because it’s what she believes. That being said, the reaction to this sounds like the whole thing is designed to set up a big match or two down the line, and that very well may be what Rousey is trying to do. Either way, it has gotten people talking.

Do you think Rousey will be back? Do you want her to be? Let us know in the comments below.
