7 WWE wrestlers who could potentially do well in MMA

Some pro-wrestlers' styles would lend themselves to success in the octagon

#2 - Samoa Joe

At 39
At 38-years-old, Samoa Joe could be the next Mark Hunt

Samoa Joe may very well be the agilest super heavyweight in the history of professional wrestling. Seriously - the things that guy can do at 282 lbs. are absolutely incredible.

Not only is Samoa Joe an excellent professional wrestler with several championships and memorable matches under his belt, but he also trains in a variety of martial arts, such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and judo. He exhibits a lot of this in his in-ring style, which employs a lot of stiff kicks and submissions.

So, let's summarize - speed, power, a martial arts background, a dense skull (Samoans actually do have harder heads than those of other cultures), and a wide arsenal of submissions that could take down a bull elephant...sounds like everything you could want in an MMA fighter?

Look, people have been saying this for years, so I'm really not sure what else I can add. All I know is that I would love to see Samoa Joe drop about 20 pounds and put dudes to sleep in the Octagon someday.
