After yesterday’s controversial finish to the NFL Monday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks, in which a replacement referee made a questionable call that changed the end of the game, many have compared the NFL to WWE. Vince McMahon, WWE and XFL were trending worldwide after the end.
Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless): “If that doesn’t end the owners’ lockout of the real refs, I don’t know what will. The NFL looks like the WWE.”
ESPN’s Rob Parker (@RobParkerESPN): “Can’t sleep. The NFL turned into the WWE right before my eyes. #thathadtobefake”
Joey Styles: “Even the worst @wwe referee is better than an @nfl replacement official. #RAW”
Jim Ross: “The officials who called #nfl game between #packers vs #seahawks were allegedly seen getting on a #WWE jet bound for Montreal. WTH?!”
