Ahead of this past Saturday’s UFC 190 event in Brazil, UFC President took to Twitter to address a fan who criticized the price tag of a UFC PPV in comparison to the $9.99 price tag of the WWE Network.
Dana White agreed that while the price tag was high, “fake sh** should be 9.99,” said White. He went on to clarify that he wasn’t disrespecting what wrestlers do and those he have met are awesome.
Below are the tweets that began the “fake” discussion that saw a number of wrestlers hit back at Dana White over his comments considering everything they put their bodies through:
@RKORollins I hear u bro but fake shit should be 9.99

@RKORollins not disrespecting what they do. All the WWE guys I have met are awesome people but yes it's fake.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins was one of the man to speak out regarding Dana White’s comments that wrestling is fake:
Guys, cut @danawhite some slack. I mean he's had a million matches, so his opinion is super valid and should be taken as gospel.
