Here are some more MMA names that have talked to us about the possibility of moving to wrestling,

Linton Vassell- Huge pro wrestling fan, and wants to make the move after his MMA career is over. Spoke highly of getting to see Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. Even if it's a special appearance or a bodyguard spot, he wants to participate in pro wrestling. He'd take his "Swarm" name with him and says he'd use a rear naked choke or an ankle lock, and prefers to play the heel role.

James Vick- Would make the move after retirement for a "big money deal," but wouldn't take away from his fighting career in order to do it. For Vick it's all about financial opportunity. He was inspired by Shawn Michaels, who actually retweeted a photo of one of Vick's superkick-style kicks earlier this year.

Kajan Johnson- Says that pro wrestling would be fun, but it wouldn't align with his goals because it takes so much time and he's focused on Tristar Vancouver. The only way he could work a pro wrestling schedule is if it were limited.

Gerald Harris- Known as the "Slam King," Cory Machado has actually reached out to him to possibly do pro wrestling related stuff in California. Harris actually wrestled Dolph Ziggler in college, and around the time Harris was in college in Cleveland, The Miz was around the area as well. He put over the athleticism and schedule involved and says he's scared of the injuries.
