My Top 5 Moments When Pro Wrestling And MMA Press Conferences Went Off The Rails.

Intro.

Press conferences are nowadays a hot bed for things going up the wall in both Pro Wrestling and MMA. Gone are the days of when fighters and Pro Wrestlers would act like wholesome humans, that you can take home to meet the family, and in there place are bitter feuds. Beer, and baked goods, and payment scandals, so lets get into it.

5. Tito Ortiz UFC 84.

I've said this in the past, that Tito Ortiz, and. Dana White can't stand each other, and this press conference was golden, from Dana standing his ground when defending his fighters, to Tito burying him, and having a go at the payment structure that the company has put in place. Just check this out, because it gets awkward quickly.

4. Cody Rhodes And Jey Uso Are Drunk.

Cast your minds back to October 2023. This came at the press conference after WWE Fastlane. Both men had become the Tag Team Champions, when they beat. Finn Balor, and. Damien Priest. Both men during the Press Conference were a bit squiffy. Beer and Press Conferences are a dangerous mix.

3. UFC 158. Ariel Helwani Pisses Off His Best Mate Dana White. ( insert Mrs Crabople laugh here )

All of this was centred around whether Nick Diaz would turn at Press Events. Ariel would go on a minor attack Nick, to the point that Dana had to step in, and shut Ariel up, this was only one moment in a love/hate dibacle.

2. Connor Mcgregor UFC 202.

This was all out crazy. Mcgregor was unprecidently late to the Press conference, and this caused carnage, fights, and. Dana White being left in the middle. You love to see it.

1. AEW Brawl Out. 

Baked goods. Backstage antics molding into real life, and a pissed of Punker. Could only end one way, badly if you're the many facial expressions of Tony Khan. Cm Punk went on a burying tirade throwing. The Elite. Hangman Adam Page. MJF, Scott Carlson, AEW as a company, and the media under the bus. This would lead to legal issues surrounding what actually happened, and has become a blackeye for AEW that they've just about recovered from.
