The Chester, England-born former footballer, who retired following a knee injury last summer, met with WWE representatives during the company's European tour last month. Quote:

Certainly has "the look", but he's "short" for a wrestler.

He retires from football due to a knee injury, so it make perfect sense to then become a professional wrestler and join the company with the most demanding schedule and highest expectations.
That knee of his is going to be just fine and give him a long and prosperous wrestling career. |

Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Mongo, and others all joined wrestling due to their sports careers being cut short by knee injuries.

I went into this thinking Monty Brown is back.
Instead it's football as in soccer. Ah well. |
