@poopmaster13 It would be so f----n' cool if James' contract w/ the Rams were to expire this year. That way if Ray Lewis chooses to retire (which seems most certain if the Ravens win another SB this season - and they will too!) he would be an ideal replacement in terms of his all-around talent, on- and off-the-field toughness & discipline and, of course, leadership skills. Need I say more other than ... GO RAVENS!!!
i could see james having a "nature boy" ric flair-type(/esque) career...winning "World" HVWT./TAG/"6-MAN titles in WWECW/TNA/NWA/AWA/IWGP(NJPW)/AJPW(ALL-JAPAN)/CMLL(EMLL)/AAA/IWRG(grupo revolution)/ROH/WWC/IWA(P.R./JAPAN/???)/ETC.!!!!!!!!!!...maybe a hybrid of flair/hawk/animal/sting/hhh/hbk/morrison/cena(?)/mark lewin(maniac/haze/non-maniac/non-haze)/nikita kolloff/tyler black/danielson/angle/etc.!!!...im just sayin'!!!
To bad him and Chris Long are playing for my sorry ass Rams team right now. Hopefully they straighten up quick or both of them are gonna leave for better teams and become legends, as long as they stay healthy that is.
picture this...james gets SUPER-OVER w/ the rams AND st.louis/missouri(/even kansas & that region)...as soon as he leaves the nfl,he gets into wrestling...maybe MN/OH area as well...IL,perhaps...he guns 4 some nwa/exodus wrestling titles...wins the nwa midwest...ewa/nwa MO state title(s)...maybe even becomes the 1st-ever nwa pwo(hio)/nwa mid-ohio/nwa buckeye pro champ...or maybe wins awa title in either MN/OH/MO/FL!!!...that would b HUGE/AWESOME...after that, vince &/or jj come 2 call
well same here my dad was into wights alot when he was 18 and he was hudge 23 inch arms and i only have 15 16 inch arms not very big but what i lack in size i make up for in strength
it doesn't matter if he is smaller than his dad, at 240 pounds and 6'2" (i think) he's still pretty big, and he would more versatile(if thats how u spell it) in the ring, cause he'd be more of an athletic wrestler, than just a big guy
He was taken at the top of the second round. He'll be playing on Rams Defense along with Chris Long (the Son of Football Hall of Famer Howie Long). the Rams had a decent draft this year. they should do a lot better than last season.
LOL, you know I loved wrestling back in the 80s when the Road Warriors were in there prime. I hate todays wrestling, but after watching this, I can't help but think it would be cool seeing Animal and his son teaming up as "The New Road Warriors".
for all you hatters i played football with james in high schol. he is a great kid and a great football player. he is going to do great things in the NFL or in any thing that he does.
I'm a Die hard OSU fan and i woudl love to see him have a long and succesful carreer but i also want to see him in the WWE cause i think he coudl pull it off
I think with the proper training, James would have an excellent chance of being a successful wrestler, I mean WWE Superstar/Entertainer (which McMahon now wants the wrestlers referred as).
It makes me wonder if McMahon has senile dementia or early-onset Alzheimer's or brain cancer. McMahon's mindset has been weird for years. Wouldn't surprise me if he ends up getting cancer. His old man died from cancer in 1984.
Yeah it's scarry hoe mcMahon's dad died from cancer. I don't like everything Vince has done. But he has given me Andre vs Hogan, Hogan vs Warrior, Mr. Perfect, The Model, The Heartbreak Kid and many many incredible memories. So no matter what i don't want to see anything bad happen to him.
he is one of the Top Linebackers in College Football as much as i was a fan of his dad and of the road warriors and how it would be awesome to see him in a WWE ring...He is a 1st round pick easily and NFL pays better and is a Better schedule and alot easier on the body..wrestling fake or not is a very very tough Business with over 300+ days a year on the road i wouldn't wish that on anybody but im looking forward to seeing him in the NFL
Both wrestling and pro football have their share of 50 and 60 y/o bodily wrecks after retirement. It's probably not a good idea to do either for too long.
Most sports are that way to a certain extent. Especially boxing.
I saw road warrior animal with a woman at wrestlefanfest in san fran back in october and it really doesn't look like the woman in this video. did joe (animal) split from his wife sometime in the last year???
Well not all wrestlers have been a total waste for those who follow in the footsteps of their Dad's. Good example Curt Hennig "Mr. Perfect". But of course you get your Randy Ortons too.
If only Perfect hadn't died... he'd most likely still be wrestling. As for Orton, he's one of WWE's best at the moment. If it had not been for his legit injury, he'd probably would still be in the title/main event picture. I can't wait for his return... it's been boring lately.
Anyone else kinda hoping Road Warrior's son doesn't make it to the NFL so he can go to WWE?
it's not fair from a certain point of view but that's real life. get used to it. at least this kid is strong and he's a good player. he's no candy ass punk he is a legit athlete.
