It’s Bad Bunny Mania in the WWE, as the Puerto Rican rapper is ready to get involved in the grand scheme of things as we move on to WrestleMania 37.
The top artist was brought in to boost WWE mainstream coverage for WrestleMania. Arn Anderson commented on WWE working with Bad Bunny and celebrity wrestling appearances on ‘Ask Arn Anything’ on AdFreeShows with host Conrad Thompson.
Arn Anderson honestly didn’t know who Bad Bunny was, and he had to ask Thompson about the rapper’s name.
“Oh yes. I don’t know anything about what it’s called? Bad Bunny?”
Thompson explained that Bad Bunny is arguably the most prominent Latin American musician in the world at the moment. Conrad pointed out that Bad Bunny is a huge fan of professional wrestling, which is the case for most Puerto Ricans. Bad Bunny loves professional wrestling and is genuinely a fan who lives the dream par excellence.
Thompson asked Anderson if having celebrities who were fans of the product made the job of the producer easier. Anderson bluntly said that celebrities had to be wrestling fans to appear on their shows.
Arn went on to explain that fans want wrestling and show fighters; not Hollywood personalities and rappers.
“Yes, I mean, if they’re not big fans, what are they doing on our show? Number 1. But I said that before, and I’ve been citing few examples for years, but you know, wrestling fans are dedicated to a wrestling show and fighters. They are not there to see Hollywood stars, or anything like that, rappers or anything like that. “
Arn Anderson on fan reaction to wrestling celebrities and the popularity of Bad Bunny
Anderson believes wrestling fans are irritated when they see an unknown personality during wrestling events. The veteran added that, over the years, the business had celebrities who had no connection to wrestling.
And it’s an irritation for them when they don’t know who it is; if i didn’t know who it is, i would just watch your performance on the show and then criticize for what it was. They get angry because it’s downtime, and the celebrities we’ve had over the years have had nothing to do with wrestling. And, you know, you can just see it for the fans. “
However, Anderson added that there is a big world outside of America that has many famous faces. He concluded by saying that there is probably a big reason why Bad Bunny’s credentials as a star cannot be questioned, and also explains why he is featured on WWE TV.
“So, the fact is that there is a place, it is called the rest of the world, it is not America, and if it is a big star, there is probably a reason for that.”
Bad Bunny attended the Royal Rumble and the following RAW episode to start a program with Miz and Morrison. According to Dave Meltzer, it is rumored that Bad Bunny and Damian Priest will have a doubles match against Miz and Morrison at WrestleMania 37.
PWInsider reported that Bad Bunny is training for his debut in the ring at the WWE Performance Center, and the rapper has been impressive in his efforts. As reported by SK Wrestling, however, the locker room is not very excited about WWE’s decision to get celebrities like Bad Bunny and Bow Wow.
