Alexander Svarsgard. Eric Northman from True Blood. Eric Northman would be a great wrestling character. Vampire Viking Half-God? Come on. You know you want to see it. With Pam as a valet with the same outrageous outfits she wears on the show. You tell me you wouldn't want to see those two characters on WWE TV. Because of your avatar, I read this as Eric Cartman, which is also a pretty acceptable answer I think. Cartman would get heat like heels in the 70s got in every arena on the planet. |

Rulon Gardner. He was an Olympic gold medalist in 2000. I think WWE reached out o him. His loss, as he ended up on the biggest loser a few years later.

It's a shame that there is still such a stigma held on Pro Wrestling by Greco-Roman/Freestyle wrestlers. Like really? You'd rather go back to hanging sheet rock instead of getting paid to work out and "pretend to fight?" |

Lyle Alzado Randall "Tex" Cobb Danzig Peter Steele (Type O Negative) Mark Wahlberg Jim Varney would have made a helluva heel manager. Glenn Danzig is awfully short. I can't imagine him being a star back in the day, and he's too old to still go today, when his size wouldn't be as much of a problem. The rest of your list would probably have drawn a shitload of money. |

Pro wrestling is a shitload of work for a not-too-great paycheck for someone who doesn't like it. Look at Lesnar, he's only doing it because he is too sick to do real fighting and Vince throws millions at him for 20 appearances a year. One of my dad's wrestling teammates was a lineman at Syracuse and quit wrestling school after a day because it was so hard. |

Meatloaf would've been a better Foley than Foley. Huh, I could actually see that come to think of it. Although this would cost us 'Bat Out of Hell' so I'd be against it on those grounds alone. |

Jim Varney would have made a helluva heel manager. Talk about random, out-the-box suggestions... At first I was like, "Ernest? Really?" because I watched way too much Hey, Vern. It's Ernest! when I was a kid. Then I thought about his not Ernest-related stuff... He really could play the slimy guy with the slicked-back hair and raspy cackle...unfortunately I'd still imagine him smoking though. That'd actually be kinda badass. How about Juliette "Lisa" Danielle from The Room? Apparently, she's a huge fan anyway. One thing I didn't notice until I saw the movie with the Rifftrax, is that she kinda was built like a linebacker. A part of me wonders if she ever considered giving pro-wrestling a shot. |

Jim Varney did have a heel look about him.  |

Still not convinced that Chael Sonnen WON'T be a professional wrestler at some point, but the guy is just so insanely charismatic that I see him going past MMA and transitioning into just a general sports personality.
I know he's said in the past that he's not a huge sports fan, but ESPN would kill for somebody that opinionated who hasn't already pissed the world off like Skip and Stephen A. have.

Ndamukong Suh
Edward Norton, remember what he looked like in American History X? Dude would've made a great heel.
