While most people found this quite offensive, especially the wrestlers actively playing their trade in the indy circuit, Randy Orton found this quite funny. Orton took to Twitter to give his opinion as he posted the below mentioned tweet.

Obviously, Orton’s remark was met with some anger as Bubba’s better half and fellow wrestler, Velvet Sky, responded with a jibe of her own. Bubba also replied with a comeback of his own in which he poked fun at Orton’s disastrous House of Horrors match against Bray Wyatt.
Wow what a dick thing to say.
