Ronda Rousey Responds to Criticism By Calling Herself "Kayfabe Killer"; Baszler Defends Her

Submitted by Jeff Whalen on


-- In a continuing war of words, Ronda Rousey has responded to recent tweets by some of the women in WWE, who didn't appreciate her using the words "fake fights" to describe wrestling, by calling herself the "kayfabe killer." Rousey responded (tweet below) and her friend Shayna Baszler also chipped in, defending Rousey's decision to focus on her family instead of "ungrateful fans."

“Anyone who is outraged by me calling pro wrestling ‘fake fights for fun’ has never been in a REAL fight. While you all are tip toeing around bruising some pro wrestlers’ huge soft egos – no one is thinking about all the REAL fighters you’re insulting when pretending pro wrestling is somehow on the same level of realism. Yes, I understand, wrestling 300 days a year for years on end is incredibly tough on the body and a difficult profession – but do you know what would happen if you got into 300 REAL fights in a year? You would be dead.”
