It looks like UFC commentator Joe Rogan did not take it lightly when the creators of The Walking Dead killed off a fan-favorite character.

During episode #1440 of The Joe Rogan Experience, the 55-year-old explained that he gave up on the show after one of the show's protagonists, Glenn, was killed off:

"I loved that show for the first few seasons. It was a great show for the first two or three seasons... When they killed Glenn I was like, I'm done. The day they killed Glenn. It was the way they did it too, You guys got no respect for your main characters."

Rogan added that he was particularly upset with the non-valiant way in which Glenn's death was portrayed by the showrunners:

"I mean, can you imagine if you're on a show and you're one of the big players on the show. I mean, he was one of the main guys and... he is on this show for five-six years. And one day they just baseball bat you. This new guy baseball bats you... So now not only does this new guy gets on the show who's getting all the heat. But now he baseball bats you to death."

Glenn, portrayed by Steven Yeun, was brutally killed by Negan, one of the show's villains, in the very first episode of the seventh season of the show.

The hit post-apocalyptic AMC series finally came to an end recently, with the last episode airing on November 20. The show has spawned multiple spin-offs, including the popular Fear The Walking Dead.

When Joe Rogan criticized the archery portrayed in The Walking Dead TV series

During the same podcast, the UFC color commenter laid fire to the hit post-apocalyptic zombie show for its unrealistic portrayal of archery.

Rogan, who is a bow-hunting enthusiast himself, criticized the creators for making use of field tips on arrows rather than broadheads during the show's many archery fight scenes:

"He just goes right through them [zombie's heads] with those stupid arrows but then it never passes through... Not only that he doesn't even have like broad heads on. He's got field tips. Those tips on his arrow... They'll make pencil holes. What that is, is for practice. He's got practice tips on his f***ing arrows. he doesn't even have broadheads."

Joe Rogan is an avid hunter and has even been known to skip major UFC pay-per-view events to facilitate his many hunting endeavors.
