8 Big Name MMA Fighters Who Tried Out Pro Wrestling

1. Cro Cop

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGWGXlx4qr8 I don't know what to say about Cro Cop's wresting appearance. It was bizarre. Random. Another one off. His partner there, who picks up the win, was "Erika" - a.k.a. Aja Kong, who has held multiple titles in Japan, and fought for the WWF back in the day. You can see in the video that it is a strange combination, with Cro Cop himself even looking a little awkwardly embarrassed. Then again, he does get to pop off a nice judo throw and a high kick. You'll pretty much just have to watch it, and scratch your head a little. Cro Cop never ventured back to the pro wrestling world but is still taking MMA bookings in Japan, despite being long past his best. The next fight he will appear in is against former Olympic gold medallist Satoshi Ishii at IGF 2 in Japan on August 23.
