|  what Pro Wrestler do you think would have the most success in MMA?
Brock Lesnar has recently decided to enter mma and this got me to thinking what wrestler would have the most success in mma?The Big Show would be a force he's like 7'0 and ways like a ton.Than there's Kurt Angle he'd probably have success he was an olympic gold metalist in mat wrestling.

i'm a huge wrestling fan. so i love this topic. personally i think kurt angle would be great in the ufc. i've seen some of brock lesnars stuff from japan and i feel he would do well in the ufc. but the guy i'd most like to see is samoa joe. im sure most people aren't familiar with him, he's in a company called tna. just google the company. also im sure you can find some of his matches on youtube.

i think Kurt Angle would do the best in MMA as far as a pro wrestler. his backgound in wrestling and his dedication to be the best would take him really far. I think if the UFC was on mainstream tv when angle won the olympics, he would have joined and be the best welterweight instead of Hughes!!!!!
Lesner will be a nice HW in any promotion!!!

Sean O'Haire has tried his hand in MMA with minimal success (can't say as much for his luck with K-1).
Other than that, probably Low Ki from TNA, if I remember correctly he has quite a bit of martial arts experience.
Bobby Lashley due to his wrestling background, he won a butt-load of military wrestling awards, as well as his strength.
Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas are both decorated wrestlers as well.
Kurt is a bit too old to make a transition if you ask me.
Outside of that, I don' t see anyone else being at that level.

The biggest problem with pro wrestlers fighting mma is that they're used to having pre-determined results, so not many would want to switch (the money is probably an issue as well).
I don't watch pro wrestling (since the days of Rick Rude, I know I'm old!) so I cant comment on the new lot, but the blonde lad who fought in their version of TUF a year or so ago fought on the Shamrock Vs Gracie undercard. I think he's undefeated at mma, so him.

the Honky Tonk man would be a champ in MMA. Once he slaps on the "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" no one would be able to come back.
