Rob Parker: I Don’t Understand How Grown Men Still Like Wrestling

Fox Sports’ Rob Parker had a lot to discuss when it came to the discussion of professional wrestling fans.

After the massive weekend that was produced from plenty of pro wrestling companies, from the Indies to the WWE in Las Vegas, Nevada for Mania Week. It sparked a lot of athletes, celebrities, and even TV personalities diving into the conversation to give their thoughts on what they think about professional wrestling.

One Fox Sports TV host by the name of Rob Parker had this to say about grown men that are into pro wrestling on his show, The Odd Couple.

“I’m just shocked to see ESPN….I know McAfee was involved and Stephen A. It was a big ordeal. I saw stuff online where people were ripping it that it wasn’t good. A lot of commercials. Four hours and they only wrestled for an hour and a half. 

“I can’t understand how grown men are still into wrestling. I can’t. We all went to the zoo. We all went to the circus as kids, right? At some point, you grow out of it. I just can’t get over how older guys who are sports fans, who watch the NFL, baseball, the NBA, and live and die for that stuff, but they have this soft spot for wrestling, and they’re walking around with the belts, and they’re going to a watch party at a sports bar. I need somebody to explain it to me, because I don’t understand it.”

Parker has worked for FOX Sports and ESPN, where he has appeared many times on shows like Colin Cowherd’s The Herd and on First Take, alongside Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith where he talked about controversial takes in sports.
