Skilled wrestling, be it WWE, AEW, TNA, AAA, etc., has at all times been criticized. From every little thing being scripted to it not being an actual sport, fans have heard all of it. Despite this, thousands and thousands of individuals tune in to WWE, AEW, and every little thing in between each week. Now, that is something that FOX Sports personality Rob Parker doesn’t understand.<\/p>\n

Grown Men Can\u2019t Like Wrestling?<\/h2>\n

Speaking on \u201cThe Odd Couple<\/a>,\u201d Rob Parker said,<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just shocked to see ESPN, and I do know [Pat] McAfee was involved, and I get it, he\u2019s one among their personnel. Stephen A, was there in order that they might boo Stephen A, you understand, and all that. And that goes with the territory, just tells you a giant guy once they\u2019re booing you at an event like that.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHowever it was a giant ordeal, and I just saw stuff online where social media people were ripping it, that it wasn\u2019t good, you understand what I mean? And it was a whole lot of commercials, and at 4 hours. They only wrestled for an hour and a half out of those 4 hours.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo there have been a whole lot of people disgruntled. But my point is that this: I can\u2019t understand how grown men are still into wrestling. I can\u2019t. All of us went to the zoo, all of us went to the circus as kids, right? And in some unspecified time in the future, you grow out of it.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI just cannot recover from how older guys who’re sports fans, who watch the NFL, who watch Major League Baseball, who watch the NBA. They live and die for that stuff, but they’ve this soft spot for wrestling, and so they\u2019re walking around with the belts, and so they\u2019re going to a watch party at a sports bar, whatever it might be. I want someone to elucidate it to me because I don\u2019t understand it.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
