Conor McGregor referred to WWE’s roster as “messed up pu&*ies” on a media conference call recently and a swift wave of controversy was quick to follow. He would follow up his comments with the following tweet:
I didn’t mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans. What I meant to say was that I’d slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday’s.

Conor stopped short of insulting WWE’s top executives such as the McMahon family and Triple H, obviously understanding that they might be in a position to make money together in the future. His comments did earn him the ire of many pro-wrestlers however, and they took to social media to show him their displeasure.
While WWE is entertainment, its cast of performers are required to be very athletic. Because of this the WWE recruits heavily from amateur athletes, and as such many of WWE’s performers have backgrounds in amateur wrestling, football or mixed martial arts.
Some of them are also gigantic freaks of nature.
