5 reasons why Nate Diaz would do well in the WWE

#4. Nate Diaz is an outlandish character

One of the most important traits a WWE Superstar must possess is the ability to play a character. Often, these characters are loosely based on the pro-wrestler's own personality. Other times, these characters are complete inventions that have little to do with the pro-wrestler's real identity.

Regardless, the importance of being a larger-than-life persona cannot be overstated. In this regard, Nate Diaz will do exceedingly well.

The former UFC contender has always been a larger-than-life character. Diaz is brash and naturally outspoken. He always expresses his innermost thoughts. His unapologetic nature and fearless authenticity endeared him to UFC fans throughout the years.

Due to his natural personality, Diaz has engaged in truly outlandish behavior befitting of a WWE character. He offered bizarre explanations for his losses before characterizing them as wins.

He dismissed Josh Thomson — one of only three men to have ever finished Diaz — by describing him as terrified during their fight. Not only did Diaz deny losing the bout, he claimed Thomson made what he described as "woman sounds" instead of focusing on the TKO loss he suffered.

It's a level of absurdity that's right at home in the WWE, where characters are expected to behave in an outlandish manner and receive immediate title shots after losses.

#3. Diaz is naturally entertaining

Whether he's fighting or being interviewed, Nate Diaz is always entertaining. Fans will find considerable difficulty in identifying a boring Diaz fight that was due to the Stockton legend.

Even in defeat, Diaz offers spectators an experience. His antics inside the octagon have been as bizarre as they were thrilling. During his final UFC bout against Tony Ferguson, Nate Diaz engaged in a series of odd but ultimately entertaining behaviors.

He took random breaks from actively engaging Ferguson in the matchup. At times, Diaz has committed actions he's come to be associated with, like resting his hands on his knees while sticking his rear out.

Other times, he pushed his antics further than he ever has by refusing to take part in the bout despite the referee's best attempts. He even walked towards the fence, placing his hand on top of the octagon while resting.

Though he has been comical many times, Diaz can be far more. His post-fight interview after defeating Michael Johnson has become the stuff of UFC legend. After one of the finest performances of his career, the Stockton legend brushed aside Joe Rogan's praise and instead called out Conor McGregor in a profanity-laced tirade no one could have predicted.
