Recently on “The Masked Man Show,” WWE Superstar Carmelo Hayes opened up about discovering professional basketball player Carmelo Anthony’s love for wrestling.
To get a glimpse into the interview, read the key takeaways below:
Carmelo Hayes’ thoughts on Carmelo Anthony being a wrestling enthusiast: “I was not aware that he had an interest in wrestling. Anyone can appreciate the wrestling of the 80s — so when he spoke about the wrestling of the 80s and 90s, I felt he was cool but I wasn’t sure if he was up to date with the current scene.”
Carmelo’s views on the need to experience wrestling firsthand: “I won’t convince him, but I believe he should come and see what WWE is like today. It’s frequently discussed that watching wrestling on TV gives you one perspective, but actually attending an event, like WrestleMania, provides a whole new experience. If he were there, watching Cody bring the story to a conclusion, he’d definitely become a fan. I’d recommend he attend Bad Blood in Atlanta, where the atmosphere is simply electrifying. Because merely talking about wrestling can’t convert anyone into a fan. They need to experience it.”
On a related note, Carmelo Hayes will go against Andrade in their sixth face-off this coming week on WWE Friday Night SmackDown, taking place at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
