5 pro wrestlers you didn't know competed in MMA

Bart Gunn

Gunn had a controversial career in the WWE

Some of you may know Bart Gunn as "the guy who ruined Brawl for All". Gunn, who had a successful tag team with Billy in the mid 90s, took part in the shootfighting tournament that was designed to get Steve Williams over.

Unfortunately Gunn had other ideas, knocking out Williams on his way to winning the competition. After this, Gunn went on to have a fight with the aforementioned Butterbean at WrestleMania 15, during which he was knocked out within 40 seconds.

Some may have thought that was the end of his fighting days, but following the battle a light must have gone off in Gunn's head. In 2006, he had two professional MMA fights against Wesley Correira and Ikuhisa Minowa before retiring with one win and one loss to his name.

Maybe there was a bigger purpose behind his destruction at the hands of Butterbean after all.
