“He buried Soulja Boy last night. Soulja Boy started popping off about how wrestling is fake okay. ‘Rap game faker than WWE’, he said, which I assume a lot of rappers would be like ‘good metaphor there’. But people in the WWE go, ‘no no no no’.”

“Randy Orton pulls out his shovel and buried another person on the internet. This is something he does. Anybody can get it, especially if you potentially ruffle the wrong feathers with Randy Orton. I can understand why the word fake is the way it is though, after getting the chance to get my a** beat in there a couple of times.”

McAfee closed out by saying he understands WWE isn’t a sport, and the results are decided previously, but it isn’t fake. He said, “What is happening in there, even the punches. You’re getting punched in the face, I got kicked in the face; I got punched in the face. Obviously, I signed up for this. But this is just two times I’ve been in there and literally the next week afterwards I can barely walk.”
