Dana White enraged the pro wrestling community this past week when he took to Twitter and simply labeled professional wrestling as “fake”.
@RKORollins I hear u bro but fake shit should be 9.99

While the outcomes are predetermined, the bumps and bruises wrestlers endure to entertain fans are VERY real. White has since come out and said he respects the business and the above tweet was a joke, but it still infuriated WWE Superstars and other pro wrestlers to the point where they were challenging him to come down and try their job for a day! See what pro wrestlers had to say:
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.

Good thing you had "FAKE" @BrockLesnar in @ufc to be your biggest PPV draw of all time. https://t.co/gaAOwxbN7T

(1/2) @danawhite, "fake" infuriates @WWE Superstars, Divas & fans because the injuries are real and happen more often than they do in @UFC.

This is what a "fake" head butt looks like @danawhite…complete w/ "fake" blood, stitches, and imaginary time off. pic.twitter.com/pHtgILIRdP

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
