I'm ok with this but WWE should chill with signing every MMA guy otherwise they'll start to look like the MLS where soccer players go to retire after a career in Europe.

They only really have 5:
  • Brock
  • Lashley
  • The guy from AOP
  • Sonya
  • Ronda
And now Cain.

I think DC will eventually be in the mix if he beats Brock and retires from MMA. I think Jon Jones is realistic if his USADA suspension ends up being very long

Off the top of my head it's really only 4 names associated with both companies who anyone has heard of

Brock who's going in the opposite direction
Punk who went in the opposite direction
Shamrock who was a main eventer in UFC when he was Larry Holmes status, WWE midcarder in his prime

It's really only Ronda who matches that description

I don't have a problem with MMA fighters transitioning to pro wrestling. I just think we need to reserve the legit MMA ass kicker gimmicks to the stars like Brock, Ronda and Velasquez if he's going to give it a shot. Shayna Bazzler can just be a tough chick who's friends with Rousey and I don't know how legit Josh Woods in ROH is but he can also just be a tough guy or have another gimmick.

It all makes sense now, lmao. Brock has been working the longest angle of all-time.
