Bad Bunny Says Pro Wrestling Is "100% Real" On HBO's The Shop
Bad Bunny was a guest on the season 4 premiere of HBO's The Shop: Uninterrupted Friday night.
When asked how long it took him to prepare for his pro wrestling debut at WrestleMania 37, Bunny said he trained relentlessly for three months at the WWE Performance Center.
"It took three months," Bunny said. "I moved to Orlando for three months, to train every single day. I didn't record any songs, I didn't do anything about music."
When asked if pro wrestling is real or fake, Bunny said: "It's real. It's 100% real. It's insane."
While reflecting on his first day at training, Bunny praised legends such as Triple H and Undertaker for their longevity in the business.
"When I was learning the first day and they were teaching me how to fall, take bumps, I said, 'How can these people do this for 20-30 years?' Guys like Undertaker, Triple H and so many others....receiving that pain."
He added, "It's crazy, but I love it."
Bunny joined music mogul Jay-Z, WNBA star Nneka Ogwumike and marketing executive Paul Rivera on the show co-hosted by LeBron James and Maverick Carter.
Earlier this year, Bunny was showered with praise by the wrestling world for his performance at WrestleMania 37.
