10 World Class Athletes Who Would Have Been Huge WWE Stars

3. Bo Jackson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81d0lmW1h58 A man who many consider the greatest athlete of all time, there's almost no doubt that Bo Jackson could have excelled in any venture in which he tried. That certainly rang true as it pertained to pro sports, as he was a Major League Baseball all-star, and a Pro Bowl NFL running back. Though his career was cut short 20 years ago due to a hip injury, Jackson possessed gifts in which had never been seen in sports, and would have been a fantastic alternate to the Mr. Perfect gimmick in which Curt Hennig played to perfection (pun intended). A prime difference is that Jackson may have not needed the magic of video editing for the vignettes that were filmed for the role. A facet of Bo Jackson that could have helped more than anything was the fact that he knew how good he was, and didn't deny it, something that can make a person's skin crawl. Jackson could have been an awe-inspiring babyface, or a cocky heel who could actually back up the hype and claims. His nonchalant demeanor would have been fresh and different, and a welcome attraction in pro wrestling.
