In an interview with Ariel Helwani of Fanhouse.com, UFC fighter Quinton "Rampage" Jackson said that he would absolutely wrestle for WWE after his MMA fight career is over. Rampage, who is main eventing Saturday night's UFC 123 PPV against fellow former Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, is a lifelong wrestling fan.

Rampage guest hosted RAW on June 7th with his A-Team movie co-stars and said it was a dream come true. He told Helwani that Big Show taught him the chokeslam and Ted DiBiase was really cool. Everybody he met while hosting RAW was down to earth and the WWE superstars are "really cool people."

Rampage said he's a huge WWE fan and if he never became an MMA fighter, he would have been a pro wrestler. When asked if he'll ever do it, he said "Yeah, if they'll have me."

He added that he would not want to undergo WWE's hectic travel schedule due to his family at home, but would love to get involved and would work occasional angles.

I thought he was very good in his guest host role, even with the silly A-Team gimmick going on. He busted out a great looking spinebuster too.

Well that explains why this picture was taken:

I'd love it. He'd be a great talent, I think. Especially with his dedication and love for our sport.

Fully agree with you. Plus he's my favorite MMA fighter so it'd be great to see him cross over into wrestling when that career concludes.

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

He's got the look & could probably make the transition so I think it would be cool.

Rampage in WWE might make me tune in again. The guy is hilarious and great on the mic. He also obviously knows a thing or two about wrestling, he'd be a natural fit.

[Mozenrath]

He's got personality and name recognition, so he'd be a boon. The question is if he could learn wrestling, and further, if his body will still be in working condition when he leaves MMA.

He is also a natural entertainer and funny.

[Enrico Palazzo]

The fact that he doesn't want to undertake the hectic schedule involved means that aside from the odd one off match, this is a non starter.

[Toates Madhackrviper]

He's one of like three MMA guys who interest me. So I'd love to see him and the couple others I like move into wrestling so I can stop even thinking about MMA .

Big Show & Rampage vs. Booker T. & Kevin Nash for WM27

[Madagascar Fred]

time for Vince to pull out his checkbook

[Super Nintenjoe KBD]

Id love to see this, I remember a Rampage "promo" at some UFC and thinking Id love to see him in wrestling as a bad ass face, I think he'd go far.

If any MMA fighter could make a successful transition to pro wrestling right now, it'd be Rampage. He's a legit badass and he's got some good natural charisma. I guess will see what he's thinking in regards to this in his future if he loses to Machida tonight.

Rampage would be perfect as a wrestler. He's athletic, charismatic, and has a marketable look.

I read the title of this thread as Reggie Jackson at first.

Anyway, I wouldn't mind it, even if it's just a one time deal at like WrestleMania.
