rzombie1988 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 WWE will certainly pick him up if he wants to get into wrestling and I don't know where else he can make that kind of money but wrestling. Wrestling isn't set up right now for tag teams though and I don't even think peak Road Warriors would be that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 circa 2009 on checking Wikipedia, didn't realize Johnny Ace was billed as taller than Animal. The heights/weights (billed) for the Laurinaitis family Animal: 6'2"/305 Johnny Ace: 6'4"/250 Terminator: 6'1"/269 James Laurinaitis: 6'2"/248 So, he might be more of a Jimmy Ace than a Son of Animal, physique-wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Unless he gets diet tips from Jinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 If he wants he will definitely get his chance. He will face an uphill battle though: he is already 30 and after that many years playing professional American football his body probably is pretty shot.

LowBlowPodcast Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I could see him and Mojo teaming up for something... it would be a crazy energy level type deal and they'd have some charisma... pipe dreams but still fun to hope for.

Shatter_Machine Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 He'd have to have a real passion for wrestling to want to do it. He made pretty good money in the NFL, and was in the league long enough to pile up some nagging injuries. I'm sure he saw what being on the road all the time did to his father, and I wonder if he'd want to put his family through that, especially if money wasn't really an issue?

sek69 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 If he wants to do it, he could probably make a decent living doing the indy circuit to see if he really wants to try it full time without having to jump head long into the grind and/or bullshit of working for WWE.

Dewar Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 He's not going to work the indies. This is a guy who made almost 36 million dollars playing football. If he decides to try pro wrestling, he's most likely going straight to the WWE developmental centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
