Clay Matthews Speaks on Smackdown, Packers/Title Belt

February 13, 2011

Green Bay Packers’ star Clay Matthews was profiled in an article posted on WWE.com, and he had the following to say about his experience on WWE Smackdown:

"I’ve been a fan since I was a kid. Watching these guys growing up and then meeting some of them – it was like a childhood dream. I was a big D-Generation X fan with Triple H and HBK. [On using WWE belts] The league [NFL] office really didn’t like it. But we didn’t care, because we were having fun. It was fitting because we were world champions. That was his celebratory dance to let everyone know he had the title. It’s only right, bringing it out and letting everyone know who the real champs are. The Packer fans and the WWE Universe enjoyed it!" You can read the full interview if you CLICK HERE.
