Michael Phelps Raced Computer Generated Shark & Fans Weren't Happy - Read the Tweets
Michael Phelps‘ Shark Week special, Phelps vs Shark: Great Gold vs Great White, aired last night and fans felt a little misled after the shark was actually computer generated.

Michael ended up losing to the Great White by 2 seconds, but beat the reef shark in the race.
After the race, Michael took to Twitter and wrote, “Rematch? Next time..warmer water. #SW30 @Discovery @SharkWeek.”

So you mean to tell me Michael Phelps didn't even race a real shark? It was just a simulation. I'm mad. More like Shark WEAK! pic.twitter.com/gwIGTe7Y9p

If you thought Michael Phelps was actually going to race a shark side by side I have a Russian election conspiracy theory to sell you.

Michael Phelps not racing a real shark is like being sold Kanye tickets and then watching a Kanye hologram perform

Michael Phelps not PHYSICALLY racing a shark but still having a tv special is equal to having a meeting when it coulda been an email :/
