10 World Class Athletes Who Would Have Been Huge WWE Stars

9. Herschel Walker

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBkOHKat1UY One of the most naturally gifted and well-conditioned athletes of all-time, Herschel Walker could have been a breakout star in the 1980's as a professional wrestler. This can be said in confidence because anything in which Walker tried his hand at-- football, MMA, bobsledding-- he became successful. Known for his totally insane workout regimen in which has kept him in ridiculous condition to this day, if Herschel Walker were to debut now, he'd still look like the most conditioned on the roster-- and he would be. At 52 years old, Walker still looks like a Greek God, and has a naturally charismatic charm in which endears him to people. The sport of MMA often looks at outside celebrities and athletes as joke fights or freak shows, but by the end of Walker's run with Strikeforce, he'd become adored by MMA fans for his devotion to learning. Walker's never been accused of being the best talkers, but his willingness to be great at something would have been enough to take him far within professional wrestling.
