The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Bob Sapp is close to reaching a deal with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Unfortunately for those interested in seeing Sapp on WWE television, the deal being talked about only involves appearances during Japan house show events in February.
WWE has lost some bankability with the Japanese audience—its presence no longer guarantees a sellout—and wants to bolster its cards with a proven Japanese draw.
Negotiations to bring Sapp to WWE on a full-time basis have not advanced

I want to see Bobb Sapp fight Kimbo Slice. I hate seeing MMA in wrestling.

Goddamnit, getting my hopes up like that. Sapp in WWE is a dream for me but in reality.
I guess he's content in HUSTLE right now. HUSTLE is known for their generous payoffs and only having to work 3-5 times a month (and in his role being in short matches with very little work required), I imagine he's content right now where he is. He's a f***ing God in Japan. They'll pay him anything to show up at events.

Who wouldn't want to see this every Monday night? If Sapp ever decides to join TNA, Vince Russo better not ever see that picture... |

Man, if only they could stick Sapp's personality and charisma into Bobby Lashley... or Lashley's abilities into Sapp. Yeah, I'd prefer it that way around

I'd love to see Sapp sign a deal. That man would be over like nobody's business.

Wow, the news sites were pretty slow picking this story up. It came out like a week ago. I'd love to see them sign Sapp though as long as they let him show his personality. I know the reports before this one were saying that WWE would be willing to let Sapp continue working with Hustle through the rest of his contract there if he signed, as they don't view Hustle as actually being a wrestling promotion.

If WWE let's Sapp do the same entrance he did against Muta, I would mark out like a 5 year old watching a John Cena vs. Hulk Hogan match...

Good pro wrestler though, nothing special at MMA, just a big guy who can beat up cans

If either of the two bigger companies, TNA or WWE can sign Sapp and let him be himself on screen, I'd pledge my allegiance to them.
