On a recent episode of his podcast Your Mom’s House, comedian Tom Segura took a shot at pro-wrestling fans saying, “I think wrestling is for f*cking r*tards. I think it is the f*cking stupidest shit,” he said. “It’s fake and you’re a f*cking idiot. They’re not real fights. These are just stunt people.” (Transcribed by Pro Wrestling Sheet)
Segura caught the attention of several wrestlers in the industry, including former world champion Dolph Ziggler who wrote Segura a lengthy response defending the business.
I am extremely proud of the incredible work wrestlers continue to put in everyday and I am pleased with our product (usually). I will assume this is a comedic take from someone having fun. If not, I am always willing to discuss the professional wrestling business at length, any time and any place.
Other stars who responded included Ricochet, Baron Corbin, Abyss, and Ronald Funchess. Check out their replies below.
In response…Segura released this clip.
