Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe appeared on last week’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience (available HERE). According to Hinchcliffe, WWE offered him a one-year contract to join the WWE creative team.
Hinchcliffe went to say that the offer was “insanely serious money” and he was happy to receive the offer as a life-long pro wrestling fan. However, he did not want to give up his current job of being a touring comedian. Hinchliffe and Rogan also discussed wrestling and MMA more, with Hinchcliffe saying a majority of UFC fans are or were also pro wrestling fans at some point. Rogan then stated, “It’s not the **** damn same.”
Below are some more excerpts of Rogan talking about pro wrestling:
Rogan on pro wrestling and MMA: “One of them is real. One of them is people battling for their lives in the most difficult content in all of sports. The other is some weird, ****** jerk-off thing where strange guys sit in front of the TV and pretend they don’t know its fake. You don’t want to know. You shut that part of your brain off.”
Rogan on Brock Lesnar and how he could’ve been an all-time great: “If Brock Lesnar did it the right way – if Lesnar left the WWE and dedicated himself to becoming the best fighter in the world, and I mean like best striking coaches, best overall coaches, like a real MMA coach – find out what they can fix and work on him for years, and then built him up slowly and eventually work his way up to a larger organization, and then eventually fight in the UFC when you have 15, 20 fights. Instead his second pro fight was against a former world champion. His second fight was against Frank Mir. He could have been an all-time great. He’s a freak athlete.”
