WWE Superstars And Legends Are Firing Shots At Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor is tailor made for the world of Sports Entertainment - He's handy with his fists, knows his way around a submission hold and his mouth and ego are bigger than Hulk Hogan's arms. Now, 'Notorious' has drawn the ire of a number of WWE superstars and legends and wrestling fans are losing their fucking minds at the prospect of the UFC Featherweight Champion following the lead of his rival Floyd Mayweather and exchanging one combat sport for another and stepping inside the squared circle.
McGregor lit the touchpaper when he dropped the line "...Those WWE guys are p***ies. They're messed up p***ies if you ask me." into a recent UFC 202 conference call and then followed up his statement with the following 'apology'.
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.

Needless to say, current WWE superstars and legends alike reacted to the statement in a manner akin to Steve Austin seeing someone pour his post-match lager away...
Former WWE Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle led the charge...
@TheNotoriousMMA @WWE very funny little guy. Why don't you get your head out of Dana White's ass

Before three time WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns joined the party with a Superman punch of a response...
Your the size of my leg. Shut up. https://t.co/fBVEdf8hE1

Thankfully, pro-wrestling's biggest hater of 'stupid idiots' Chris Jericho couldn't resist, either...
Sorry pal no disrespect to u, but my fights are legit, unlike the fixed fights u have in @UFC. I'll embarrass u. https://t.co/X5WCyeHYbf

Current Tag Team champion and Booty-O salesman Big E Langston jumped in on the action, too...
Would you prefer to find us individually or have us all line up at once? I know your time is valuable, sir. https://t.co/XPnKhWAlza

As did McGregor's compatriot Becky Lynch...
I'll stand aside.... Seeing as I've already beat you......@TheNotoriousMMA pic.twitter.com/mshAMquu7O

AJ Styles was equally as dismissive of 'Notorious' and his small stature in comparison to the WWE roster...
I think McGregor could do well in the featherweight division......if the WWE had one. https://t.co/90XGpSICS9

And, saving the best 'til last, here's 16 time World Champion, 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair proving why he ought to be put in the WWE Hall Of Fame for a THIRD time...
Coming from a guy who built a career copying my persona, I expected the type of class we get from Ronda or Anderson. pic.twitter.com/iVoC0Xva5g

After Diaz finishes you again, I dare you to try guys like Dolph, Brock, or Fit.

Oh you're welcome for your gimmick pic.twitter.com/0qziVjlMav
If anyone doubts whether or not Doloh could tie Conor in a knot, do yourself a favor and Google his accomplishments pic.twitter.com/h7mitMeBXn

I'm now genuinely praying The Four Horsemen reunite and jump McGregor following his rematch with Diaz at UFC 202 and do to him what they did to Dusty Rhodes at the Omni, in 1985...
Now we play the waiting game until Triple H announces that McGregor will be headlining WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, next year. Let's hope Brock Lesnar's got nothing planned for April 2nd, 2017, just yet.
