Michael Chandler Just Called Out Conor McGregor LIVE On....Monday Night RAW?!
The TKO era is upon us, ladies and gentlemen.
After running a nice little promo package on the success of UFC 298 at the Honda Center in Anaheim - where Monday Night RAW is tonight - they gave Michael Chandler a live microphone and let him cut a full blown promo on Conor McGregor for holding up his career!
"There's a man from Ireland who's been making me wait WAAAY too long, and I still got one dude on my mind…."
"Conor McGregor! Get your candy ass back to the octagon! We got some unfinished business boys!
God bless! I'll see you at the top!"
The WrestleMania sign was brilliantly placed in the background of the shot, so WWE will get some free publicity all week with people talking about this - and as one of the few crossover WWE/UFC fans out there, this is exactly the kind of integration I wanted when the companies came under the same TKO umbrella. Show a couple WWE wrestlers in the crowd at UFC, let fighters from the UFC do actual call outs/angles with the WWE roster (if they're interested) - I think it could be great. I mean, this was awesome!
I wonder what you'd have to pay Dana to get him to be a Paul Heyman type figure for someone at WrestleMania. I'm almost positive it's not the sorta thing he'd wanna do, but as the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase always said: "Everybody's got a price!"
