Wrestling/WWE News Round-Up (1st - 7th August): 10-time World Champion retires, Kane's return confirmed

#7. Cain Velasquez makes an impressive pro wrestling debut

Cain Velasquez's days as an unstoppable beast inside the Octagon are a thing of the past and the 2-time Heavyweight Champion has already found the perfect career to transition into.

Velasquez made his long-awaited pro wrestling debut at AAA's Triplemanía XXVII and surpassed all expectations to put on a sensational performance.

The 37-year-old teamed up with Cody Rhodes and Psycho Clown in a six-man tag team match against Taurus, Killer Kross and Texano Jr. Velasquez's team ended up victorious on a night that saw him do all sorts of flippity flip stuff.

It was classic Lucha Libre on display with Hurricaneranas, tilt-a-whirl arm drags and suplexes all while being nimble with his movement. Velasquez gave us all a good account of what he is capable of.

For a man who is as towering as him, Velasquez made it look effortless as well. If this is what he can do with a few months of proper training, we can't even imagine how good he can be if given a year or two to develop his craft.

Successful debut for my boy @cainmma , he did so good. I didn’t even know he could do a flip lol. What an athlete. Good job brother. I am so happy for you, Michelle , coral and little Cain!!!#eltoro #TriplemaniaXXVII pic.twitter.com/luBUaWlVeY
