We grew up watching a product, in which our trash talking anti-hero took it to his boss, the embodiment of corporate America. Does anyone in the current roster command that same sense of ‘outlaw’ anymore?
McGregor is as anti-establishment as it gets, with no regard for niceties or sportsmanship. He’s his own man, out to make his mark and forge his path forward with a string of expletives and ‘attitude’. He’s closer to Steve Austin than say, Roman Reigns ever will be.

And this is not us hating on Roman Reigns, but pointing out the fact that to be booked as an outlaw against the McMahons; you need to behave like an outlaw. Without fear of what the sponsors will think, or how the PG Era audience will react. And that’s the bottom line, cuz we in Sportskeeda said so.
