Kevin Sullivan Sees Possible Crossover Between UFC & WWE With Stars Like Conor McGregor
– During the latest edition of Tuesday with The Taskmaster, former WCW wrestler and booker Kevin Sullivan discussed potential crossover between WWE and UFC products with the completion of the merger into TKO. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
On potential crossover between WWE and UFC: “A lot of people don’t see some crossover, but I do see some crossover. Guys that are winding their career in UFC coming over, like Ronda Rousey did, like Brock [Lesnar] did. … Don’t you see that [for Conor] McGregor?”
Sullivan on McGregor having the personality of a WWE Superstar: “He has the WWE personality stamped all over him. In fact, isn’t his walk taken from Vince [McMahon]?”
The merger of WWE and UFC into TKO Group Holdings was closed earlier this week and trading of the merged entity began on the New York Stock Exchange. However, WWE and UFC will still continue to be run as separate businesses.
