On a recent edition of his “Tuesday with The Taskmaster” podcast, former WCW booker Kevin Sullivan discussed a potential crossover between WWE and UFC programming with the completion of the merger into TKO Group Holdings.
The merger of WWE and the UFC into TKO Group Holdings was closed on Tuesday morning and trading of the merged entity commenced on the New York Stock Exchange.
Despite the merger, WWE and the UFC will still continue to be run as separate businesses with Vince McMahon spearheading the wrestling side as the Executive Chairman of TKO.
As we previously reported here on eWn, UFC President Dana White has declined the idea of a crossover since there is very little synergy between the audiences of WWE and UFC.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On potential crossover between WWE and UFC: “A lot of people don’t see some crossover, but I do see some crossover. Guys that are winding their career in UFC coming over, like Ronda Rousey did, like Brock [Lesnar] did. … Don’t you see that [for Conor] McGregor?”
On McGregor having the personality of a WWE Superstar: “He has the WWE personality stamped all over him. In fact, isn’t his walk taken from Vince [McMahon]?”
