Overeem prefaced his comments by sharing that he did watch the WWE when growing up at ages 8 to 10. He fondly remembered being a big fan of wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Honky Tonk Man, and Andre The Giant.
“Just recently, I started looking again on YouTube, and oh my God, this stuff is lame,” Overeem said on MMA Fighting’s The MMA Hour. “It’s just lame what these guys are doing. It’s fake. It’s lame. It’s stupid. It’s gay. It doesn’t make any sense.”
I like Overeem and believe he doesn’t have a high opinion of Wrestling.
However, I think he would absolutely wrestle if he could make Lesnar money.
Gotta lol @ the rant and not a moment later the headline becomes “Alistair Overeem uses homophobic language”.
To be fair. In recent years WWE Product is absolutely lame, boring and doesn’t make any sense.
Ariel was about to give the Reem a SJW lecture but thought better of it.

I remember as a kid watching that segment and saying," I knew it was real." I was in awe of wrestlers back then…haha. Of course, I am not 9 anymore and dammit, it is not real to me…lol.
Reem is spot on. My cousins had me watching that when I was a kid, but once I found out as a teen that it was fake/choreographed. I stopped watching.
I find pro wrestling entertaining but he is right
Found out as a teen did ya?
You are a dumb motherfucker.
I’m a dumb mutherfucker for learning something as a teen. Got it.
if that ‘something’ is pro wrestling being fake, then yes
