UFC Hall Of Famer and professional wrestler Stephan Bonnar was recently interviewed by Wrestling Inc. to talk about several professional wrestling topics. During the interview, Bonnar ripped into NXT star Matt Riddle for once “b*tching out” of a wrestling match they had scheduled.
Here’s what he had to say:
Riddle b—hed out the day of [the match] just like in the UFC – nothing’s changed. He ducked on out, he pulled out the day of. He got a case of ‘pussitis’. He hadn’t quite gotten over in pro wrestling, he was right at his critical point and he knew a match with me could have buried him. He didn’t want to take that risk – too much was at stake, so the day of the event, Riddle pulled out. That’s what happened, bottom line he had too much too lose.
I cut promos on him for that and you know what I got back? Nothing, zero. I got a guy that pulled out the day of. What’s that tell you? The guy pulls out the day of and he won’t respond to your promos. Alright, I’ll let everyone else that’s listening to this show make their decision on what that means. Those are the facts. I’m just looking at the facts and you just brought up ‘fear’ – yeah, I think you’re on to something, my friend.
Don’t worry, I won’t tell him you said this. Well, I’m the 205-er, the ‘American Psycho’, no one has ever so much as even wobbled me. So yeah, he bowed to me in the UFC. Why would anything change in pro wrestling?
