UFC’s Daniel Cormier Wants In The Royal Rumble
UFC’s Daniel Cormier had the following to say to Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso in this week’s edition of Week In Wrestling:
“I wish I could be in the Royal Rumble this year,” said Cormier, who fights on pay per view one week before the Rumble in Boston at UFC 220 against Volkan Oezdemir. “I don’t think they will invite me, but fighting against Oezdemir in Boston works for me, timewise. My fight is in January, which opens up WrestleMania for me this New Orleans–not to compete, but to go.”
Cormier recently had a stiff series of exchanges over the weekend with various members of the pro wrestling community regarding his style preference in pro wrestling.
You can find some highlights from his exchanges below:
@philbaroni this is actually pathetic. This is what people wanna see? Go to a god dang gymnastics competition. Suplex, bodyslam, piledriver do some old school wrestling man. DDT, I remember when the frankensteiner was the most you’d ever see someone flip. I say Boo to this BS https://t.co/eF4pnCy0SA

I get it and understand ur point. I know it’s entertainment but the hint of truth helps. It was so choreographed that everything was just to visible if that makes sense. https://t.co/bw1fc3CZPP

I believe what happened is now guys are just out there searching for that. Just wrestle the match and when the high spot happens fans will appreciate it. Do you remember when a chair shot was considered crazy. Those days are gone! 22 chairshots to the head lol https://t.co/nh3Wc8dQiQ

I get it and I applaud them for doing it. Always make money. Not my cup of tea. Give me a spine buster and I’m good. AA style. That’s why I love Bobby Roode. Spinebuster, powerbomb. Shit like that. I expressed my opinion. https://t.co/jsr4ZLROBl

I do ask for comps, I am a fan, I didn’t say anything about anything but that sequence of the match. Just be very careful bud! I’ve been a fan of urs too but be very careful. Lay off the cuss words it’s not that serious. And I won’t need a job. I’ll be good. https://t.co/7DuDLbpipp
