It's no secret that Vince loves his tall guys, so this shouldn't be a hard sell. Unlike those other failed attempts at bringing in giant specimen just because they're tall - cough, Giant Gonzalez, cough - Blake Griffin is freakishly nimble considering he's 6' 10" and 250 pounds.

The NBA may not have the natural talent pool for potential in-ring talent like the NFL, but let's not forget that Kane, Kevin Nash, and The Undertaker all played basketball before coming into the wrestling business. It's entirely possible Blake could follow in their footsteps, if even for a few nights.

Anyone who's seen this guy play knows that he's a dunk machine with plenty of raw athleticism. He's not the most polished basketball player, but he's still one of the most purely exciting power forwards in the game.

Personality-wise, Blake is an odd, aloof, doofus who gets by on the fact that he's willing to put himself into whatever strange situation you can throw his way. (Just go back and watch those old Gamefly commercials). And what is the WWE if not one unending series of strange situations?
