As we've covered extensively here, Conor McGregor cau൩sed quite a stir with his comments from a UFC medi𒁃a call Friday, saying the majority of WWE talents are "pussies."
Several wrestling talents didn't take too kindly to the comments and trashed McGregor on Twitter. Roman Reigns notably mentioned that McGregor was "the size of his leg," but it didn't𝔍 end there. Ric Flair, AJ Styles, Big E, Bub𓃲ba Ray all also chimed in.
United States C🎀hampion Rusev criticized McGregor for only competing for "15 minutes twice a year." It's worth noting that six of McGregor's last seven scheduled fights were a𒉰ll set for five rounds, and barring injuries, he usually competes more than twice a year.
So much talk for a gu𒐪y who 🌱fights 15 min matches twice a year...... Good for you Conor McGaiver.

Chris Jericho channeled his inner troll, and said his matꦫches are real, unlike 'worked' MMA fig🧜hts.
Sorry pal no ✱disrespect to u, but my fights a🌟re legit, unlike the fixed fights u have in . I’ll embarrass u.
— Chris Jericho (@IAmJericho)
Ric Flair trashed McGregor for stealing his gimmick, and cited Ronda Rousey and Anderson Silva as having 🍰more clas𝔍s.
Coming from a guy who buil🦹t a career copying my persona, I expected the type of class we get from Ronda or Anderson.
— Ric Flair (@RicFlairNatrBoy)
After Diaz finishes you again, I dare you to try guys like Dolph, Brock, or Fit.
— Ric Flair (@RicFlairNatrBoy)
Oh you're welcome for your gimmick
Baron 🐠Corbin, who has amateur boxing and competition grappling experience, challenged McGregor's notion.
I beg to differ kid

Former NXT tr🍷ainer Bill Demott made a comment, although it's not necessarily clear what he was angling for.
Maybe I'm late to the party........what weight class and what si🎃ze lo🎀cker room is being called out
— Bill DeMott (@BillDeMott)
AJ Styles, who made a career being smaller than many of his opponents, said the WWE dꦗoesn't have a featherweight division.
I think McGregor could do well in the featherweight 🐬division......if the WWE haꦦd one.

Fellow Irishman Sheamus had𝄹 some interesting words for Mc🐻Gregor.
Never show a Ja⛄ck Russell a mirror. It thinks it's a majestic Irish Wolfh♍ound. Really, just an annoying wee yapper trying to sell tickets.
— Sheamus (@WWESheamus)
Bubba Ray also seemed pretty confide🤡nt that Kurt Angle in his late 40s would stretch McGregor
I would pay good $🍸$ to see STRETCH THE PISS outta and make him tap.
