Wrestling Twitter Reacts To Kevin Durant's Decision To Join Golden State
If you frequent Twitter and follow enough wrestlers, you'll realize these guys are not just wrestlers—many are avid sports fans, including basketball. Today
The reaction on social media from wrestlers ranged from salty to humorous to everything in between.
Olympic champion and Iowa State head coach Kevin Jackson was not a fan of the move by Durant:
Weak!! GS starting 5 credentials; 4 Olympians, 3 NBA MVP s, 5 Allstars, 4 NBA Champions. Come on man!! https://t.co/GqCwvDHg0B

Hofstra head coach Dennis Papadatos wants you to remember this tweet. He is NOT expecting a title for this Warriors super squad.
For documentation purposes. 7/4/16 the Golden State Warriors and Durant will not win the NBA title next year.Prob cavs again. But NO GSW.

Ohio State assistant coach, two-time NCAA champion and Cleveland sports enthusiast J Jaggers is feelin' bold after his Cavs brought home the title this year.
Bring It! Only gonna add to @KingJames legacy when he defends against them!

Hope Westbrook comes to Cleveland. Classic case of good vs evil!

The wrestlers from Oklahoma, well, they're in various stages of grief right now.
USA Wrestling's Richard Immel (Proud Oklahoma Sooner) isn't in a great place right now.
This cannot be real. The Warriors?! I'll be in my room crying if anyone needs me.

Iowa's Luke Eustice has a similar prediction that Coach Papadatos had for the Warriors.
