Every time Becky Lynch speaks now, I cringe when she basically steals lines from Conor McGregor. The amazing thing about Conor was he would make bold predictions and say incredibly cocky things, and usually always back it up in a real contest. He was the first “double champ” in UFC history. He proclaimed it, it happened.
Becky on the other hand, just parrots the same things Conor says and does, but gets booked to win the fake contests. It’s a lot less impressive to be the WWE version of Conor, and it amazes me that wrestling fans either don’t notice or aren’t calling Becky out on blantantly stealing his style and trash talk.

Conor McGregor just did the same crap Ric Flair did 30 years ago with an Irish accent.  off with that. And hey, at least Becky Lynch isn't being a major racist or going into "retirement" because of allegations of sexual assault. |

I really couldn't care less what someone is doing in UFC. I watch pro wrestling and not MMA for a reason.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a single Connor promo so everything out of Lynch’s mouth is new to me.

If you wanna talk UFC, go to the UFC thread.
I don't know jack crap about that Irish MMA guy. And I don't care to know.

Don't blame Becky for UFC and WWE sharing the same booking style. |

I'm going to go out a limb here and say that the only similarities they have is the Irish accent making OP somewhat racist. Why? Because somehow I don't think Connor was saying "Boo the Woo" anytime in the millennium. Thus, the only thing similar is the accent.
Prove me wrong. Show me a quote where they're somewhat similar. ( Just looked at some of the best quotes of Connor (https://www.sportskeeda.com/pro-boxing/10-best-conor-mcgregor-quotes) ) and I don't recall Becky telling Ronda to stop dressing like a skateboarder.Don't remember her telling CHarlotte that she looked like she had a stroke. Don't remember her telling Asuka that if you fight me she'll make you rich (sort of sounds like he stole that from Undertaker but replace rich with famous).
So I really don't see the similarities.

I wasn't even referring to the "your wife's a towel" tweet, I was referring to the other racist crap he said leading up to the Khabib fight. McGregor's a ing clown anyway. Glad he got his ass beat. |

Clearly, you're a Ronda or Charlotte fan over Becky. 1st off, I feel sorry for you in the regard. 2nd, if you know anything about wrestling, ANYTHING at all, then you would know that nothing anyone does is original anymore. Everyone pulls and uses other characters moves/promos and makes them their own. Any wrestling podcast you'll probably hear the athlete say "nothing is original anymore, we all get inspiration from somewhere or someone". So yeah, get outta here with that B.S. about being "less impressive". What's less impressive is running and retiring after being accused of sexual assault and being a clear racist. |

this is getting confusing, people are getting worked I think. if you’re hating becky’s behaviour, shouldn’t you be going after wwe creative? going after the character itself as if it’s a an actual person...wow. kayfabe alive and well...except the wrestling part. Lol

Lol you're not serious are you? Connor didn't invent the type of trash talking he does. Countless people, in many sports, have made bold predictions, and then made them happen. He's also not the first athlete to come off like a dick while doing it either.

Irish isn't a race it's an ethnicity. Not everything is racist, educate yourself bro before you say something stupid again |

No wonder WWE will mock internet fans in promos sometimes.
