Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney mock former Sheffield United player Billy Sharp in the latest and so far best episode of their docuseries.
Of course, this all stems off the back of last season’s FA Cup clash between the two, and now as seen on Welcome to Wrexham, co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have continued their feud with Sharp.
You will recall Sharp captained Sheffield United last season when they took on Wrexham in the FA Cup back in February, winning 3-1 after the first game went to a replay.
Sharp ranted about Wrexham players, before telling them to ‘shove that on your documentary’ as things got heated down the tunnel.
He also hit out at the ‘disrespect’ shown by the then-National League outfit Wrexham.
Everyone was intrigued as to how the Hollywood owners would respond to this via their documentary on Disney+, and now the episode has finally aired.
“It was really interesting. It was psychology 101,” Reynolds said. “It was like ‘oh we own you right now’.
“You’re a Championship team, and second place in the Championship, you guys are amazing.
“And this guy we just got under his skin. It was so, so wonderful to see that we got under that guy’s skin the way we did.”
“We were living rent-free in that motherf*****’s brain,” McElhenney said while laughing.
“We’re living rent-free in that motherfucker’s brain”

Wrexham took Sheffield United to a replay after playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Racecourse Ground – with John Egan grabbing a 95th-minute equaliser for the Blades.
The second time they played each other, Sheffield United won 3-1 at Bramall Lane, but left it late with two late goals coming in injury-time, one of them from Billy Sharp.
Billy Sharp was asked about Wrexham even while playing for his new club LA Galaxy, saying after he scored a hat-trick in the MLS: “People don’t even know the real story. Wrexham will put out what they want to on their documentary, and maybe I’ll put out my own and tell them what really happened,” he said.
“I scored the goal, which knocked them out, and a little scuffle happened in the changing room.
“I don’t really like their manager anyway from past experiences, and he probably doesn’t like me.
“It’s just one of those things in football where it sometimes gets very overheated… I know what they’re going to do; they’re going to show the clips that make me look like a baddie.
“That’s fine. I’ll wait to see what happens and have my say afterwards. The record book says we beat them in the FA Cup, so they can have a documentary about it if they want.”
This is how fans reacted as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney mock Billy Sharp…
@michPDX7223: That was one of my favorite bits … when Rob channels all the Wrexham fans.
@colleenhaynes88: Just brilliant. Best episode so far.
@pauljones_wxm: Brilliant quote I’ll always smile about
@seattlewxm: After settling down, Billy Sharp must have realized he’d made himself the perfect foil for two of the funniest guys on the planet and that they would inevitability clown him mercilessly on a huge platform. Then he had to sit and wait for it for 8 months. That’s just delicious.
@Plot44Organics: Fucking love having these as our chairman.
@nic_olax: The moment of series 2 so far! I don’t think they could have done that bit of last season any better!
@ShaunAhabCarr87: Fucking love @RMcElhenney!!! Says it how it is!! I love the fact that he loves we were tormenting Billy Sharp on the pitch last season!! #WxmAFC #UpTheTown
@SportHistoryX: Brilliant. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are a breath of fresh air in our game. Long may it continue 👏🏽⚽️
@Bladey1889: Suspect Sharp was wound up due to a) Wrexham’s posts about playing Spurs in the next round, b) Mullin during the game, big fish small pond syndrome, c) the manner in which Mullin was subbed at Bramall Lane; basically mocked our fans on the touchline, d) Phil Parkinson generally.
@shane_robshaw: Well done lads, you almost won 🥇 👌🏻😂. Tbf I love watching these two. 🤝
@Callum__RUFC: Sharp has really rattled the yanks here
@demblades82: “ Get that in your fucking doccumentary” 🤣🤣 sir William sharp 🐐
@DemBlades1889: Disney FC still rattled. 🤣
@skibumg: Christ still banging on about this 😂
@RHJS5: He was right, it made the documentary. But it’s you that lives in his head? 😏 You’re literally mentioning Billy and Sheffield United in your documentary to increase your relevance, whilst Billy is in Los Angeles continuing to bang “goyals” in. There’s levels chaps. Settle down
