Well-known pro wrestling hater Tom Segura appeared on RAW this week, and many in WWE were reportedly unhappy about it.
Comedian Tom Segura, who has a special on Netflix, appeared on RAW this week alongside Bert Kreischer in a backstage segment. They were both seen at ringside later in the broadcast.
On the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio, it was stated that several within WWE were unhappy with Segura’s appearance. This is due to his past comments regarding the company.
“We are told several in the company were unhappy with the appearance of comedian Tom Segura this past Monday at Raw. Years ago, Segura made several disparaging comments about the wrestling business. Calling it fake, stupid people who watch it idiots, and that the fights are not real. Among other things that were much worse, and we’re not going to say on the air.
“While the few we talked to understood it was a Netflix call to have him on the show, and from all accounts, he was respectable while backstage, many within the company didn’t appreciate the fact that someone who was on record with these negative ideas and feelings towards pro wrestling could just walk right in and shake hands.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
