Tom Brady is a football legend who played quarterback for 23 seasons in the NFL. His first 20 seasons were with the New England Patriots, and as a six-time Super Bowl winner, he's widely regarded as the GOAT.
However, Brady is not a fan of WWE, it seems. During a recent Sports Illustrated interview at a Fanatics Flag Football media event, the football player tore into professional wrestling, making it clear he's no fan of their "fake BS."
"All their stuff is so cute and scripted, and they know what’s going on," Brady said. "In a football game, you don’t know. 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."
"There’s no fake BS we do in American football," he continued. "So for those guys, it’d be a whole different story for them."
This comes after Brady appeared on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast in February, when he said, "It’s cute. I love WWE. It’s very cute. But honestly, this is like real football. This is real competition."
This doesn't appear to be part of a storyline, and there's not much to suggest Brady will show up at WrestleMania, for example. Instead, he seems to be enjoying the attention that dunking on WWE is giving him, hence his use of the dreaded "F" word ("fake").
WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman previously had something to say about the footballer, stating, "What’s Tom Brady done? He’s thrown a football across a field that was caught by Gronkowski. Gronkowski deserves the credit. Belichick and his girlfriend deserve the credit. But Tom Brady?"
Former Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, meanwhile, said, "I don’t get annoyed. It just comes from a place of ignorance."
Oba Femi, who will face Brock Lesnar at the Show of Shows, pointed out, "For those who think it’s cute and it’s fluffy, and it’s all sweet and stuff, you can come and try. You can come and lace up some boots, and then let’s watch you puke."
For what it's worth, there has been some chatter about WWE working on merchandise for Brady, including slogans like "T-Bone" and "The Untouchable Tom Brady." With that in mind, there's always a chance we're all being worked.
WrestleMania will take place on April 18 and April 19 in Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium.
