Carmelo Hayes Wants Carmelo Anthony to Attend WWE Bad Blood

– During a recent interview with The Masked Man Show, WWE Superstar Carmelo Hayes spoke about learning about NBA player Carmelo Anthony’s wrestling fandom. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Carmelo Hayes on Carmelo Anthony’s wrestling fandom: “I actually didn’t know he was into wrestling like that. I mean, everyone knows 80s wrestling — when I heard him say 80s, 90s wrestling, I was like, alright he cool but I didn’t know if he knew what was going on today.”

On how someone has to experience wrestling for themselves: “I mean, I’m not gonna sell it to him right, but I think he needs to come and experience WWE today. We talk about it a lot, you can watch it on TV and get one perspective, but bro, you come to — you trying to tell me if he came to WrestleMania and watched Cody finish the story, he wouldn’t be a fan? You know what I’m saying? That hooked people. Tell him to come through to Atlanta for Bad Blood where the vibes are just crazy. That’s where it’s like, you’ve gotta show somebody, you really can’t talk anybody into being a wrestling fan. They’ve got to experience it.”

Carmelo Hayes will return to action on WWE SmackDown later this week. He will face off against Andrade in their sixth matchup. This week’s SmackDown will be held at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The show will be broadcast live on USA Network starting at 8:00 pm EST.
