Independent star Effy didn’t hold back when it comes to his true thoughts on Ronda Rousey.
Speaking in a clip from his Weekend at Effy’s podcast, the independent star opened up about his opinion of what makes someone worthy of support in professional wrestling. While he initially didn’t mention Rousey by name, it didn’t take long before he explained why he considers her to be the “dumbest b*tch of all time.”
“I just want to say this, and this is me being a little vague, okay? When I think of if I respect a wrestler, or disrespect, or don’t enjoy or promote a wrestler, they only have to be three things. Okay? The first is a little bit good at wrestling, just a little bit. The second is, they have to believe that trans people are valid, and respect and honor our trans friends and family. And then the third is they have to believe that Sandy Hook actually happened.
“And if you cross off, zero out of three of those, then you, and that’s all I’m gonna say, and everyone will know who it’s about. But Ronda Rousey is the dumbest b*tch of all time, and she is not good at wrestling. She is transphobic, and she questioned the reality of whether Sandy Hook happened, and I just said it anyway, Ronda Rousey, you’re a big dumb b*tch. I did it again. Dammit.”
“You’re Really Bad At Wrestling” – Effy on Ronda Rousey
Continuing, the Big Gay Brunch promoter doubled down on his opinion before sarcastically suggesting that she might as well work with AEW, which Effy calls “WCW Jr.”
“I gotta stop talking sh*t, but it’s been on my mind all week. It’s like, oh, well, you’re transphobic and you don’t believe Sandy Hook happened. And you’re really bad at wrestling; you’ve never had a good wrestling match.
“And here we are. Just, let’s rehire her for another company. WCW Jr. is looking great right now. The new WCW? It’s fantastic. They’ve got Tony Schiavone, Sting, Ric Flair, and Ronda Rousey. What a f*cking future for professional wrestling we’re creating right now.”

While Rousey is not signed to AEW, she did make a recent appearance at an ROH taping, teaming with longtime friend Marina Shafir to defeat the team of Billie Starkz and Athena. Rousey is not expected to make further appearances for ROH or AEW in the near future.
