I hope the Kurtster gives it a go in the UFC. While he stands a better chance than most “wrestlers” because of his background, he will be KO’ed or submitted in short order.
The question remains: Why leave good WWE money for dubious UFC money?
I think the biggest question to me (as a wrestling fan) is why leave WWE for TNA in the first place. I am sure there were benefits but WWE was the top of the top so the move didn’t make send. I would like to see him in the UFC as well. We all know he’s an athlete (went to college an hour away from me) but I’d like to see him in the octagon.
