Tom Brady's WWE comments spark a strong reaction
Brady's WWE comments saw the former quarterback take aim at professional wrestling in clear terms.
"All their stuff is so cute and scripted, and they know what's going on. In a football game, you don't know it, so they wouldn't even get near me.
"Plus, if I had a good offensive line, they'd punch those guys right in the throat, and they'd be probably crying," Brady said.
He added: "There's no fake BS we do in American football, so for those guys, it'd be a whole different story for them."

The comments leaned into a familiar criticism of WWE, focusing on the contrast between scripted outcomes and live competition. They also set up a response from within the wrestling world.
