12 Newcastle Players That Should Have Been WWE Wrestlers
10. Paul 'The Iceman' Bracewell
A nickname the former Magpie shares with former WCW Cruiserweight Champion Dean Malenko. While the wrestler's cold and calculating demeanour was dominating the light heavyweight scene inside the ring, Bracewell's reputation within the Newcastle United dressing room was making him the butt of many jokes. John Beresford revealed how The Magpies squad used to refer to Bracewell as the Ice Man because: He was always getting iced-up and getting treatment because of the knocks he was prepared to take and his injuries always flared up. Completely different reasons behind the nicknames, but equally hard as nails all the same.
