Akinfenwa also spoke about his post-retirement plans. The 39-year-old confessed he does not want to become a soccer coach when he retires. Instead, Akinfenwa revealed he is negotiating a WWE crossover.

"There are also talks with WWE. I reckon I'd be a good wrestler," said Akinfenwa. "I've always been able to live my life where nobody has put me in a box, so that's how it is, I'm excited for the future."

Akinfenwa may not be one of the best soccer players in the world, but he could become a scary WWE Superstar. Do you agree?
