ESPN Personality Compares NFL Debacle To WWE, Tensai On Ditching Helmet And Robe, Edge
- On Tuesday's edition of ESPN's morning sports talk program First Take, Skip Bayless mentioned WWE while discussing the controversial conclusion of the Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks game on Monday Night Football.
"I never thought I would see the day when the NFL would turn into the WWE," Bayless said over the work of the replacement officials, who awarded a disputed touchdown to the Seahawks on the final play of the game.
The matter also drew comparisons to Vince McMahon and the XFL, with both terms trending worldwide on Twitter Monday night.
- Speaking to WWE Magazine, Tensai explains why he switched from singlets to trunks years ago and why we won't see his helmet and robe ever again.
"When I first debuted, I used to wear singlets and, to be truthful, I liked them. But it was suggested to me that I move from them to the classic trunks. It was very uncomfortable for the first month, but now I love them. Let's be honest?with my body type, I probably shouldn't be wearing them, but I like them. They offer a much cleaner look at me in the ring, and red is such a powerful color," Tensai said.
"The helmet and robe you saw when I returned was meant to get your attention, but changing out of it takes too much time and pulls away from my goal, which is to destroy."
