Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman went on a rant directed at San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree after defending a pass and sealing a win for his team. During the interview he yelled and screamed about talking trash and looked like he startled FOX reporter Erin Andrews, it immediately drew comparisons to a WWE promo.

But what if he was really cutting a WWE promo? Some savvy internet users edited Sherman out of the actual video and placed him in some old retro WWF (when it was still WWF) interview footage and it is awesome. They give him the nick name “Macho Man,” a little stab at his need to be so vocal. My favorite part is when the interviewer says “could I ask a question Macho Man?”

Sherman responds with: “Don’t you open your mouth about the best.”

The announcer responds with “sorry about that.”
