Dana White disses WWE on Twitter, wrestlers and others react

Dana White stirs up online debate after terming pro wrestling ‘fake’

Dana White, no stranger to controversy, is at it again as he got into it with a fan over WWE being ‘fake’. At a time when the WWE is at an emotional low, following ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper passing away couple of days ago, Dana White started the exchange on Twitter after he responded to a fan.

Following his comments against WWE and pro-wrestling in general, a army of wrestlers and related personalities took up for the business online. WWE World Heavyweight champion Seth Rollins was among the first to respond. TNA executive Jeremy Borash was referred to as ‘goofball’ by the UFC president. Below is a look at Dana’s tweets and the replies from others:

@RKORollins I hear u bro but fake shit should be 9.99

@RKORollins not disrespecting what they do. All the WWE guys I have met are awesome people but yes it's fake.

— Dana White (@danawhite) August 1, 2015

Guys, cut @danawhite some slack. I mean he's had a million matches, so his opinion is super valid and should be taken as gospel.

— Seth Rollins (@WWERollins) August 2, 2015

@JeremyBorash it's free in the UK goofball.

This guy doesn't give a phuck about Dana White's opinion. And wouldn't mind discussing it in a fake ring. pic.twitter.com/5jEegRKdYs
