Lil Yachty got his first taste of what it’s like to wrestle a match in WWE at Sunday Night’s Main Event in September when he survived five minutes in the ring with Baron Corbin, who is very tall.
During a new interview with Complex News, Yachty said he is trying to do WWE full-time and is willing to leave his music career behind to make it happen.
“You got to bring your shit. I always talk to wrestlers about this. You just don’t have the leeway…you got X amount of time, and you got to make everything
count. You got to captivate that audience…you got a real small time in your segment to get your point across, your message across, and be remembered for six more days, until next Friday. And hope that you captivated so good that Friday, in six days, you back on TV again. If you fuck up or you do some bullshit, you might not be on TV that next week.
So it’s a lot more militant and disciplined. I love it, man. If I go full-time, I’m trying to go full-time, I won’t ever put an album out ever again.”
If WWE pushes Yachty and pays him enough money, he’ll be very happy doing flips and getting thrown through tables for a living. I think a lot of pro wrestling fans would also sign up for that arrangement.
“Bro, if I climb the ranks in WWE and get the checks that I want, this music shit can kiss me goodbye. I swear to God. I will be back flipping, getting thrown through tables, and whatever else, until my body [gives] out on me.”
Do you think the 29-year-old rapper has what it takes and is serious about becoming a full-time pro wrestler for WWE? Give me your reaction in the comments below, Cagesiders.
