    Even though former New England Patriots superstar quarterback Tom Brady is now years removed from his last season in the NFL as a player, he can still find himself under the limelight pretty easily, largely because of the fact that, well, he’s Tom Brady.

    He has a 7-2 Super Bowl record, but in a more ideal world for Brady, he’d have nine Super Bowl rings. Unfortunately for him, Eli Manning led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl titles, both at the expense of Brady and the Patriots.

    The two former Super Bowl rivals crossed paths anew during Friday’s Fanatics Fest in New York City, with Brady and Manning each making a WWE-inspired entrance to the event.

    Manning walked into the event while imitating WWE superstar Roman Reigns. Brady also entered while Cody Rhodes’ theme song played in the background.

    Brady even ripped an Eli Manning jersey in half before getting jumped from behind by Manning.

    It was all for fun, though. The fans surely enjoyed seeing two of the best quarterbacks to ever play do such harmless shenanigans in public.

    Brady, who also won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led the Patriots to an 18-0 record, including in the playoffs, heading to Super Bowl 42, but Manning and the Giants spoiled New England’s pursuit of a perfect season with a stunning 17-14 victory.

    The Pats and the Giants met again in Super Bowl 46, but it was the same result, as Manning’s team bested Brady’s for the second time via a 21-17 score.

    Will we ever see Brady and Manning bring their rivalry into the pro wrestling ring? That remains to be seen, but it’s safe to say that such an event would grab a ton of attention.
