Since it would seem that his MMA career is over, what would you guys say to him going to ROH, TNA, or WWE?

I would like to see him go to either ROH or TNA, as he doesn't have to be a bodybuilder for either one of those and his style might be appreciated more. Japan would be a great place for him to go first, now that I think of it. Make him a strong style talent, then bring him over here.

I dunno, just a random thought I had.

Chuck Liddell doesn't have the personality for MMA, he's not a showman he's just a fighter. I love Chuck Liddell and all but he wouldn't translate to wrestling.

Tito Ortiz is a guy that would translate really well to wrestling but since MMA is getting bigger and bigger by the day I don't see this happening.

I could see liddel as the silent killer type, give him a good manager to do the talking.

If he did this I would lose all the respect I have for him.

He's never gonna go to wrestling, as it's a huge step down, he has all the charisma of a wet doorknob and it'd be a massive pay cut for a far more gruelling schedule.

They tried that with Dan Severn with less than fantastic results

If there's anyone in the world of MMA that should get in wrestling it's blatantly Rampage

It may be a huge pay cut but if hes leaving mma what is he gonna do for money anyway? I guess he could always open a fight school but that would be a step down and would probably almost as tough. I don't think he is gonna wrestle, but I also don't think it is such a far out option. As for charisma, I think he has some, he shows lots of emotions when he wins, he is already known as the iceman and doesn't do such a bad job with commercials. If you include the instant name recognition he has a better start the 85% of the wrestlers that have stepped into the ring.

Dan Severn wasnt as popular then as Liddel is now so it might work better.

If they could get both Ortiz and Liddell to come in at the same time and fued along side some existing wrestlers as tag teams, I could see it as a possibility.

Ortiz had his last fight at UFC 84. What does he do next? Capitalize on his love for wrestling and exploit his character by joining WWE or wear out his name in MMA?

This move would make a lot of sense, as in the past, fighters like Ken Shamrock have crossed into WWE. Brock Lesnar has crossed over into UFC, so why not have Tito come to WWE? He’s got the ability and size.

You make a good point but I just don't see it.

Tito doesn't need the money, he's done a wonderful job investing his earnings. Plus Chuck would make a fortune with a school.

Both these guys have talked so much shit about pro wrestling historically as well, just can't see it.

I don't see why anyone would want to step down from legitimate fighter to carnie.

I mean, maybe if it's a childhood dream or something....

Its for the fame and the spotlight, when you get used to it, its hard to give it up.

Yeah, assuming he's that addicted and can't find a better spotlight elsewhere. He's not K-Fed, you know.

Yeah, I don't see a fighter with the profile of Chuck Liddell ever signing with the WWE, but he kind of looks like an angrier Jamie Noble to me. I'd mark the flying fuck out if Chuck came in as his "cousin," much like Nunzio did back in 2003. Actually, re-sign Nunzio and have the extended "Family Noble" run wild over the RAW roster, with Chuck being the star, while Noble & Nunzio work as a tag team.

What? That is fucking retarded. If the stars aligned, Vince McMahon sold his soul and Liddell temporarily went insane and actually signed with the WWE, the dumbest thing they could do is something like that instead of just capitalizing on the dude's already established star power.

Of course Chuck Liddell should come in as Chuck Liddell and use his already established recognition to become a hopeful draw for the WWE. But guess what, it's not going to happen.

I read that shit and damn near snapped my neck from facepalming so hard.

All previous UFC fighters came in when Sports Entertainment was in it's prime and MMA was less lucrative. Short of someone being blackballed from every MMA organisation or the market dropping out of MMA - I can't see any more MMA fighters crossing over.

Liddel would be huge buisness for any company he went to but I don't think he's cut out for it. But if he evr gets hurting for money it would be a smart move for him.
