“Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor is an entertainer. He is great. He is a great fighter but the reason why he became a money maker is because he knows how to entertain. We all saw him, the way he used to sell fights was the reason why he makes millions. You could be a really good wrestler but if you don’t produce money for the company, if you don’t sell tickets, you don’t go anywhere.”

Del Rio insisted on the fact that if you want to succeed as a pro-wrestler, you should be able to draw numbers and move tickets for the company you’re working for and just being a good pro-wrestler can’t make much difference if the above mentioned traits are not there inside you. Conor McGregor have them absolutely all and Del Rio called him a great “entertainer” citing a reason why he makes millions of dollars.

Well, it’s safe to say that Conor McGregor will surely draw some mainstream attention towards WWE if he’s there dishing out some of his offenses on the WWE television. There are some potential dream matches fans would definitely love to see for McGregor if he decides to step foot inside of a WWE ring in the foreseeable future.
