After last night’s NFL playoff game that saw the Seattle Seahawks defeat the San Francisco 49ers to advance to the Super Bowl, Seahawks player Richard Sherman did an interview that sounded a lot like a pro wrestling promo. WWE got a lot of mentions on Twitter after Sherman’s interview, with several wrestlers tweeting about it.

Guys. It wasn’t a good promo.You don’t need to scream. Plus he didn’t even say “let me tell you something”, “here’s the thing”, or “brother”

Also, loved the interview by @RSherman_25. Best in the game and not afraid to say it.

#SuperBowl-bound @RSherman_25 stole the #NFL Playoffs with that post-game promo, didn’t he?

Final thought on @rsherman_25 promo after #NFLPlayoffs .. It was real…no script..human emotion. Actually refreshing. Love him or hate him.

Well @RSherman_25 seized the moment, but just turned the entire @Seahawks team heel in the process. Makes for a good #SuperBowl storyline.
