From somebody who wants to be in the WWE to someone who has kind of already been there: Frank Shamrock, brother of WWE wrestler and UFC fighter, Ken Shamrock.

“The Legend” is one of the most accomplished MMA fighters in history as a UFC Middleweight (now Light-Heavyweight) Champion, who was the pound-for-pound No. 1 during his run with the UFC. He was also very good friends with one Mr Mickey Rourke.
