Could we see former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell make his way to the WWE?
The UFC Hall of Famer speaks with
Comic Book about his potential in making the transition to pro wrestling and reveals that he’s open to having a run in the WWE, but makes note of several concerns that he has to get used to:
"Actually, I used to hang out with Shane McMahon every once in a while, we would go out and party sometimes. Good dude," said Liddell.
"And he said 'If you're ever seriously interested about coming over we should talk.' But, you know I never really... I love fighting and I love being in real fighting and I mean I got nothing against WWE. I wouldn't mind doing that now too. It's just acting, going out and doing the acting. That's more like acting. Those guys, they're very, it's a lot of training for those guys. Those guys do some pretty impressive things in the ring as far as... I mean it's all staged, but it's still you know, it's not easy.
Liddell also highlights how in wrestling, you have to put your faith in the other guy not hurting you, a responsibility that he’s not too keen on:
"One of the things I've always had with that sport too, is... the difference between my sport and their things, see you're putting your trust in the other guy not to hurt you. Surrendering your body to him. Like, throw you and hope he doesn't hurt you. In my sport, I'm responsible for you not hurting me. I like having the responsibility on my end not yours."
