WWE Hall of Famer Greg “The Hammer” Valentine recently took part in an interview for Filsinger Games podcast, The View in which he made some rather distasteful comments about women and wrestling.
Below are some of the remarks he made:
“As far as girl wrestling, I would send them all out to the strip bar and fire ’em.”
“I’d fire every girl wrestler I ever saw. They don’t draw any money, they have horrible matches. Uh … they’re terrible. That’s the way I feel.”
“They take away jobs from men that need to support their families. They should be home washing dishes and cooking and pregnant and barefoot.”
He also extended his thoughts on the subject to MMA and Boxing:
“I love women … but they gotta realize their place. They’re not supposed to be wrestlers. They’re not supposed to be MMA fighters or boxers. It’s bullsh*t.”
Valentine has always had strong heel persona and these comments may have been his way of staying in character, however in 2015 these comments aren't going to go down well with many, especially in light of the recent Hulk Hogan scandal.
