While speaking on The Odd Couple, FOX Sports personality Rob Parker commented on ESPN’s coverage of WWE WrestleMania 42…

“I’m just shocked to see ESPN, and I know [Pat] McAfee was involved, and I get it, he’s one of their personnel. Stephen A was there so that they could boo Stephen A, you know, and all that. And that goes with the territory, just tells you a big guy when they’re booing you at an event like that. But it was a big ordeal, and I just saw stuff online where social media people were ripping it, that it wasn’t good, you know what I mean? And it was a lot of commercials, and at 4 hours. They only wrestled for an hour and a half out of those 4 hours.

So there were a lot of people disgruntled. But my point is this: 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? And at some point, you grow out of it.

I just cannot get over how older guys who are sports fans, who are sports fans, who watch the NFL, who watch Major League Baseball, who watch the NBA. They 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, whatever it may be. I need somebody to explain it to me because I don’t understand it.”
