Dana White and Vince McMahon are considered arch-rivals when it comes to sports entertainment. Both when been influential figures in the industry as they’ve established themselves as the stalwarts of their genres respectively. While Vince gave almost his 40 years to grow WWE, Dana White revolutionized the MMA industry. When there are two big companies involved in a single business i.e. sports entertainment you are bound to have some tension. Though both are sports entertainment companies but are very different from each other.
While there is much more drama involved in the WWE and the show follows a strategic creative direction while UFC fighters are MMA-trained experts who fight legit bouts in an octagon ring just like a boxing match while WWE takes place in a squared ring with no stipulated time for matches. The two promotions shared heat against each other when Dana White called WWE “fake” and also started keeping the UFC PPVs close to WWE PPV’s resulting in a huge audience loss to WWE.
Dana White slams WWE for their conduct at Wrestlemania 34
However, both have appeared in each other shows from time to time. While Vince McMahon was recently spotted at a UFC event with Stephanie, Triple H, and Pat McAfee, Dana White also attended WWE’s premium live event of the year WrestleMania 34. In a recent interview, Dana White revealed his reason for being upset with Vince and WWE.
Also when he was asked whether the recent change in power would improve his relationship with the company. The UFC Chairman revealed that when he went to attend Wrestlemania 34, he was treated poorly as he was assigned really bad seats and this is the reason Dana White wouldn’t make it up to WWE as he said that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon also were there and they knew where he was sitting.
White said- “I tell you I was in the fu**ing rafters… People were coming up to me and going, why are you sitting in these seats. Well, I said this is where they sat me so f**k them I’m going to sit right here… Triple H and Stephaine were there too. It’s not like it was just Vince. This wasn’t like twenty-five years ago.”
There was a time when Dana and Vince were very close to facing each other at Wrestlemania, as Dana had earlier revealed that the ex-Chairman had contacted him for a match, to which he refused. Seeing the level of animosity between them, it is unlikely that Dana would make up to the company unless they apologize to him. What are your thoughts on this story, do let us know in the comments.”
