Israel Adesanya names his favorite WWE stars
Speaking on FULL SEND MMA, Adesanya listed some of his favorite wrestling themes and legends, including Rey Mysterio, The Rock, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
He said, Top five. Rey Mysterio is definitely one of them. Just a toes-up. Boom. Cool finishing move, 619. I’m going to say The Rock, definitely. Then when you hear the If you smell. Stone Cold when you hear the glass shatter, you know what the fu*k is happening.”
He recalled attending WrestleMania 42 last year, where Stone Cold’s appearance was kept a surprise “I was at WrestleMania last year, and it was a secret or surprise, but I kind of had a feeling he was going to pull up. But when I heard the glass shatter, I lost my fu*king mind.”
He then mentioned Stacy Keibler and also remembered The Godfather and his famous Ho Train. He then spoke about current WWE talent and gave strong praise to Oba Femi. “I’d say right now, Oba. I really like the way he just moves. I like the way he’s carrying the WWE right now. He’s the guy. He’s got that swagger. So, shout out to Oba. It’s not Oba, it’s Oba Femi. That’s the guy right now.”
