Pair Him With: Randy Orton Chael P. Sonnen probably has better mic skills and shoots better promos than half the current WWE roster, and that's not an exaggeration. The American Gangster from Oregon (the fact that he's managed to sell that as a nickname should tell you something) managed to talk his way into a title fight with Jon Jones outside of his own weight class without winning a single fight at light heavyweight, where Jones resides. He's that good. He's the ultimate MMA self-promoter, a guy the fans either loved, or loved to hate - but despite his in-octagon style being somewhat less than exciting (mostly a pure wrestler, though fantastic at it), everyone tuned in. Now picture him in the pro-wrestling world. He's got a legit amateur wrestling background, and the brash personality to become a Ric Flair sort of character - The Stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun! That Ric Flair. Sonnen would have that role down to perfection. Since Flair isn't working in the ring these days, a pairing with Randy Orton could work.
