To coin a phrase used by the former WWE future Hall of famer Deacon Batista, GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS, VINCE!

Conor has teased his interest in the WWE for years now, calling out John Cena for being a 'big, fat, 40-year-old failed Mr. Olympia mother f-----!' and citing Ric Flair as a 'cool muthaf*cka'. Conor gets it. The business, he knows it's all a big, hilarious work and he revels in the sh*thousery that is possible when there's a microphone in his hand.

Would PG WWE (even in this era of the rogue Kofi Middle finger) be willing to let him run wild and free? That's Conor, I'm afraid. Warts and all and if you want the world changing 'I AM WRESTLING' you'll probably have to accept that every now and again you're gonna get the odd attack on a person's culture, beliefs or even families that is a little too close to the bone.

Conor has a background in boxing and kickboxing (that Corbin 'punchers chance' match sells itself) while he also has experience in Brazilian Capoeira, Tae Kwan Do and Karate so with all that going on, Conor would be more than capable of adjusting to whatever style WWE see fit for him. The man would sells out arenas and could no doubt do the same if he was booked to fight R-truth for the 24/7 time at 'Mania, he's that good.

He's also a hell of a learner as referenced by his determination to learn the art of Jiu-jitsu, in which he has been awarded the brown belt after his stoppage of Poirier in 2014. Give this man a challenge and he'll rise to it. Would he be worth the baggage that comes along with him? Well if they can make Tyson work, Conor will be a leg drop in the park.
