Hail to the King.

Crossover MMA fighter King Mo was signed a dual deal with Bellator and TNA, and made his pro wrestling debut in October 2012. This, fans from the time may recall, was when Dixie Carter's group blasted fans with mind-numbingly boring inserts about Mixed Martial Arts weekly.

Mo caught the wrestling bug, but it didn't catch him. He was released from his full-time contract in 2015, then returned for a one off to be in Bobby Lashley's corner at Slammiversay 2017. That cameo only raised some questions about what had happened to his fledgling TNA/Impact career.

In fairness, Mo has inked a deal with MLW, but that's hardly in the public eye. The 41 year old's best days as a fighter are clearly in the rearview mirror, but it's cool he's still having some fun with pro wrasslin'. Dixie's dreams of finding the next MMA > wrestling success would have to wait though.
