UFC/MMA guys to WWE

Tyler Durden

I remember Ken Shamrock's time in WWE pretty fondly. At the time they had few guys on the roster that could perform particularly well and, whilst he was never winning the World Title, he was a mainstay of the roster for a few years and I enjoyed him anyway (though would have enjoyed his "sister" Ryan even more!!)

So my question is, are there any guys in UFC/MMA now that could make an impression in WWE, and if so why aren't they used?

Now, first of all, I'm not suggesting a whole bunch of guys with their careers ahead of them, and I'm not suggesting guys that have more of a martial arts background or even that they would come in and work a full schedule.

More of a come in for six months or so and see how it goes thing really!!

The guys that would interest me most would be Randy Couture, Josh Barnett, Don Frye and Mark Coleman.

Any comments, before I suplex your ass

well i do not see it any time soon. but the ufc said that if the wwe ever put out a open invation like the angle did when he said 4 sided 6 sided or 8 sided ring.. they would not let that go, and would make a statment on that...

angle vs shamrock would be one hell of a match!!!!

I think we've already missed the best time for an Angle/Shamrock match... love them both, but Shamrock hasn't been on fire lately and Angle, with all of his injuries can soon adapt a robocop gimmick.

Back to topic though, when Chuck Liddle is done with his run, I'd love to see him in the WWE because he is one intimidating looking mofo. That alone should be able to cover him while he learns how to cut a promo. And while his character is building steam, we can feed him the Funakis and Val Venises of the world to short, KO matches.

Tito Ortiz all the way. He has the charisma to be a great wrestler. I thought wwe would get him by now.

I hate Tito. I hope he never goes to the WWE.

I want to see Shamrock back in the WWE.

Thats about it really.

Matt would be great in the wwe!!!!

Tyler Durden

I don't know much about Ortiz or Hughes. Are they not more martial arts than "wrestlers"?

Dakstang

No. They are what you would call as "ground and pound" I would say. They usually try to take their opponents to the ground. Ortiz usually throws a lot of elbows from that point and Hughes just usually uses his fists. Hughes is also good at submissions.

Tyler Durden

Well if he's good at submission stuff too then great.

Aren't they both, by WWE standards, a little small as well??
