WWE's Triple H has challenged Elon Musk to a match on the planet Mars, having addressed the Tesla boss' lack of respect for wrestling.
HHH was speaking on The Good Time Show when he cut a promo on Musk, making light of his achievements after pointing out having felt like Musk has been disrespecting the industry.
“Let me address Elon Musk because I feel like there’s some disrespect going on here," he said. "Because I don’t know if he has a superiority complex because he’s a rocket scientist, a self-taught rocket scientist, right? Big deal. He’s a guy that sort of revolutionized the electric car all because he wanted to fly rockets to Mars. Big deal. Taught himself how to build cars, taught himself how to revolutionize the automotive industry, taught himself how to revolutionize space travel. [Then] comes up with reusable rockets, the whole thing.
“Then, [he] goofs around on the Internet, flips some things around, becomes the biggest billionaire, trillionaire, or whatever he is. The richest guy in the world, which, by the way, he couldn’t maintain for long. I’m sure he’ll flip that around.”
Triple H then went to let Musk know that, despite all of his forays, he's never actually beaten anyone. He then brought up the suggestion of WrestleMania Mars, "the largest spectacle the universe has ever seen."
“At this point, Elon, you have to ask yourself… all those incredible accomplishments and believe me, they are cool, but, who have you beaten? Who have you ever beat? Answer is nobody.
“So, if you want to disrespect our business, I will anytime, anyplace, anywhere [fight you]. Elon Musk, if you’ve got the guts, if you have what it takes to do this… then you and I will talk about what I really want to talk about, which is taking one of your rockets, launching it from Florida, going up into space, heading to Mars with a team from the Performance Center, where we then put on the largest spectacle the Universe has ever seen – WrestleMania Mars.”
Let's Not Be So Quick To Dismiss The Possibility
This may seem quite far-fetched right now but, give it a few years; we're almost certain the possibility of a match outside of the realms of earth will be discussed.
A match taking place on another planet might be a reach but don't be surprised if one happens in some form of spacecraft one day. It's going to be hard fighting and trying to pin someone without gravity, but that would be creative's problem.
