TNA is in negotiations with MMA star Bob Sapp, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. TNA has offered him an initial four-month deal, in which Sapp would be paid $2,500 per match. TNA wants Sapp to work a program with Kurt Angle, and then later with Samoa Joe. Sapp is paid about $35,000 per match for Hustle (he is under contract with Hustle for one year), and has received a seven figure offer from WWE. It appears WWE has been in talks with Sapp once again. Apparently, WWE and Sapp had serious talks a few months ago. There was talk that WWE would promote Sapp as a combined MMA/pro wrestling star.

If WWE gets him, I demand a Longest Yard stable with him, Khali, and Austin.

Yeah 2500 for a match? when hes making 35gs a match in japan? Screw that.
That's exactly why Stan Hansen chose All Japan over NWA and AWA

if he goes to either WWE or TNA, I can't wait. He is seriously one of these most charismatic guys I've seen. Make him funny backstage, goofy on his way down to the ring, but once he gets into the ring, make him no-nonsense.

When I had a subscription to the Observer, apparently Heyman was begging Vince to bring in Bob Sapp as the WWECW Champion...negotiations fell through, and Vince gave us ECW Champion Bobby Lashley.
Lashley and Sapp aren't similar at all as performers, but nevertheless, Lashley apparently got that spot at the ECW D2D PPV as the new surprise ECW champ. It was a shame too, because I think Sapp would've been super huge in WWE. That guy "gets it", and in a way that hosses like Bobby Lashley or Gene Snitsky never will.

I think the REAL question is this:
If the WWE & TNA are ok with Sapp working his HUSTLE dates, why isn't HG on my TV??
