UFC Fighters and Jim Cornette Take Shots at The Young Bucks on Twitter

More people are attacking wrestling for being fake on Twitter, as some UFC guy named “Chase Sherman” posted a clip of a spot by The Young Bucks below, which lead to a lot of arguing…

Grown men watch this. pic.twitter.com/7Gej9GSr5L

I was looking for your shirt in hot topic chase and….. oh wait, who are you?

Jim Cornette piled on, of course:

Sadly, I agree with you, Chase. Pro wrestling was the blueprint for promoting fights & was the building block for the success of the @ufc . This horseshit is not pro wrestling. Grown men USED to do it & it worked. Grade school kids pretend fighting is why you guys have taken over https://t.co/407Rf6KVFp

It's just part of how the business changes over the years. It might not be what you're into, but it's popular right now. They make good money off of it. Maybe when they're older, they'll be forced to slow down & tone it down a bit. They won't be able to keep that pace up forever.

And by the time they figure that out, no one will want to see ANY pro wrestling because they'll all think it's a bunch of kids in pajamas doing the floor exercise at their high school gymnastics meet. Hooray! https://t.co/7EYszpRMkf

At risk of a lot of people commenting, these guys need to be glad I'm no longer involved w/ @ringofhonor cause they would've all been fired after I slapped the shit out of them. Had hopes for ROH as a product to be taken seriously, & purposely didn't book grade school gymnasts. https://t.co/GURE3FnXBU

Jim. When you ran ROH, the building in that very clip was half full. I know because I was there.

— The Young Bucks (@MattJackson13) December 17, 2017

I think Jim would prefer to call it half empty.🤨

UFC fighter Daniel Cormier also weighed in:

@philbaroni this is actually pathetic. This is what people wanna see? Go to a god dang gymnastics competition. Suplex, bodyslam, piledriver do some old school wrestling man. DDT, I remember when the frankensteiner was the most you’d ever see someone flip. I say Boo to this BS https://t.co/eF4pnCy0SA

Watch the match in its entirety and in its context and the crowd reactions to it as a whole, the key being the latter point. Judging wrestling from 25 seconds is like judging anything with no context.

— Dave Meltzer (@davemeltzerWON) December 17, 2017

It's not pathetic. The paying audience enjoyed it. UFC is thriving, and pro-wrestling has been going strong since 1920…besides most of y'all ask hunter for a job when the wheels fall off anyway and most are on the comp list at staples…so lay the fuck off. https://t.co/oqKto3a4TK

Come on Cody, don't encourage these ballet dancers. @ufc 's kicking pro wrestling's ass all over the world cause of shit like this. I know you have to work with these clowns but it's embarrassing. Grown men used to want to wrestle, now want to fight in UFC cause of this shit. https://t.co/Py9tirbvRd
