UFC commentator Joe Rogan took to an episode of his Joe Rogan Experience podcast in 2014 and said MMA is real while wrestling "was some weird, f***ing jerk-off thing that strange guys do when they sit in front of the TV and pretend that they don’t know it’s fake." Rogan then contradicted his own comments and said he was just making a joke and he didn’t really hate pro wrestling. Rogan also said wrestling is definitely scripted, but it is not fake and it is still pretty badass as far as what they are able to do, though they don’t nearly get enough credit for it.
Joe Rogan said:
“It’s definitely scripted. It’s not like they’re risking it all because they don’t know what the outcome is gonna be.” “It’s different than an actual athletic event, but it’s still pretty badass as far as what they’re able to do. They don’t nearly get enough credit for it either. While they were doing it, before the lockdown, they were doing it 250+ days a year traveling all over the country, throwing each other on tables.”
Just recently, Rogan took to his Instagram and said now he begins to understand what pro wrestling is about, to which Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson responded, “At one time, it was the best job in the world.” “One day we’ll get drunk (or high) and talk about it. Or talk about it first, then get f***ed up. [laughing emoji]”
