NRL Players in the WWE

[leaguelegend21]

Daniel Vidot, the former Raider/Dragon/Bronco/Titan is turning some heads at the WWE Performance Centre in the US.

He has been so impressive, he is set to debut in the WWEs development show NXT this year after only a years training.

Paul Levesque, known to fans as Triple H, and Vincent K. McMahon have been so enthralled by Vidot’s progress, that they have identified the NRL as a breeding ground for professional wrestling talent.

The WWE have poached many NFL and Soccer stars over the years, but stealing Australian Rugby League talent is unchartered territory.

What NRL players do we think would be suited for the WWE?

I think Jason Vaai Taumalolo would be a great Heavyweight Champion. Tevita Pangai has potential to also put on a five star match with his unique mix of power and athleticism. He reminds me of Brock Lesnar in this regard.

I could also imagine Matt Dufty as a cruiserweight champion, fueding with legends like Rey Mysterio and Chavito Guerrero.

Is the WWE a valid threat the NRL should fear?

Cam Smith has been wrestling in the NRL for years.

You’re implying Vince has any clue what’s going on down at the Performance Center.

WWE has enough talent warehoused that they don’t use now - they don’t need to be looking at rugby league players.

SBW is pretty much Randy Orton MkII.

Well you need a big personality to be a wrestler, something the NRL & Australian society seems to actively discourage.

Daniel Vidot already has a 0-1 record after he tried to hit Ben Rogers with a flying knee and got the shit punched out of him.

The WWE is like watching the Sharks play, except there is less play acting and faking going on

Luke Menzies in NXT is a former Hull KR player.

Eorl Crabtree's uncle Shirley was a major wrestling star in the 70s as Big Daddy.

How is wrestling still a thing? I would rather watch a cross code game of union and AFL.

Yeah let's ban everyone who posts something different.....

Its threads like this which are the future of this forum imo and pioneers like LL21 should be respected.
