It appears that WWE superstars are having their issues with the Australian media lately while promoting Saturday’s Elimination Chamber show.
About a month ago, Grayson Waller had heated words with a crew member of an Australian morning show.
Today, it was his in-ring ally’s turn to butt heads with a journalist. During an altercation with an Australian newspaper editor Theory didn’t appreciate pro wrestling being called “fake”.
Editor-in-chief of The West Australian, Anthony De Cegile, set off Theory with his off-hand comment.
“It is fake. It is not like you are actually hitting one another,” he said smiling.
“Hold on a second. You brought me in here and you’re going to talk to me like this? No, man. Just because you’re in charge of some s–t here doesn’t mean you can talk to me like this! You’re saying what I do is easy and you’re in front of all your people in here talking about my job’s easy! You couldn’t walk a damn day in my shoes!” he said.
Theory then got in De Cegile’s face.
“Are you kidding me, man? I’ll smack the s–t out of you right now. I’m not playing around,” he continued.
De Cegile backed away from Theory.
“You bring me out here for some media, man. This guy’s talking his f—–g head off, man. What’s his problem, dude?” said Theory as he appeared to exit the office.
