WWE WrestleMania 33 is just a day away
Authentic Jonathan Drouin Jersey , but what if you had to field an NFL roster with wrestlers of past and present? Who makes the cut?
Article continues below ...
With WWE WrestleMania 33 on the horizon, it’s time to have some fun by assembling an NFL roster made up of wrestlers both past and present. We’ve had
plenty of time to fret about the WWE’s next plan to make Roman look strong, Seth
Rollins’s poorly-booked feud with Triple H, and John Cena’s potential heel
turn.
It takes a special kind of athlete to succeed in the NFL, and the same can be said for the WWE. Although there’s a certain stereotype of what a wrestler or
NFL player looks like, athletes of all shapes and sizes have found success in
both. From Rey Mysterio to Big Show and from Steve Smith to Calvin Johnson,
plenty of competitors in both football and sports entertainment have shown that
it’s all about tailoring your game to your strengths.

Because of this, it makes it easier to slot wrestlers into specific positions. So here’s a full football team of wrestlers, starting with a head
coach that would make Vince Lombardi (or at least Jim Harbaugh) jealous.
Head Coach: Paul HeymanJust hearing Paul Heyman walk out of the tunnel yelling, “My name is Paul Heyman…” and introducing his team would be gold. Heyman is the best talker in
the history of wrestling
Broncos Su'a Cravens Jersey , and that’s saying something when you consider the Hollywood career Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has forged (and the one John Cena
is about to).
If Heyman has some issues with the Xs and Os, he can just call up his client Brock Lesnar, who tried to crack the Minnesota Vikings roster, for some help.
Heyman is a sharp guy, so I’m sure he wouldn’t have any trouble picking things
up quickly.
Could you imagine Heyman’s press conferences? We’ve seen Jon Gruden and Bruce Arians deliver some priceless lines, but Heyman would be gold for writers
looking for #viralcontent. Heyman would immediately change the “No Fun League’s”
reputation.
On the downside, he’d engage in some downright dirty tactics. I mean, if you think Belichick and the New England Patriots are cheaters for a bunch of
unconfirmed stunts that made a few reporters more popular than they should have
been, then Heyman’s intimidation of referees and on-field interferences would
make you cringe (or swoon, I won’t judge your character).
Remember when Mike Tomlin tripped Jacoby Jones? Yeah
Ravens Anthony Averett Jersey , that would be a footnote in NFL history after Heyman’s career. The man is willing to do whatever is best for business,
even if it means eating soap.
Next: Quarterback QB: John CenaIt isn’t exactly a shocker to see “The Face That Runs The Place,” you know, running the place. John Cena is easy to hate, because he’s a proven draw with a
large fanbase of all ages. Vince McMahon can count on him to put on a strong
performance in a big match with just about anyone, cut a promo that works the
crowd perfectly, and rake in big bucks as the champion.

Cena is the highest-paid wrestler in the WWE with a $9.5 million salary, which means he makes $3.5 million more than Lesnar per year. It’s
understandable, given how much merchandise Cena can push
Authentic Saquon Barkley Jersey , and he’s ’re having a really hard time sme in wrestling. Chances are, he and The Rock are the only wrestlers your friends
have ever heard of.
Everything about the guy seems tailor-made for the quarterback position, and he could easily be the Tom Brady of the NFL, which would make Nikki Bella a less
cool version of Gisele. Like Brady, Cena has a ton of hardware, and most people
think that you either absolutely adore the man or you hate him. The truth is
that most people respect Cena and Brady, but they don’t exactly like rooting for
the obvious favorites.
A powerful leader in the locker room, Cena can be the nice guy who rallies the troops to fourth quarter comebacks. But when pushed over the edge, he can
deliver the pain, because it isn’t wise to mess with someone with a degree in
thuganomics.
Next: Running Back RB: Rey MysterioOne of the most agile wrestlers in the history of sports entertainment
Authentic Jason Sanders Jersey , Rey Mysterio is built to shine as a running back in the NFL. Small and powerful, quick and unpredictable, Mysterio is the
type of shifty back who could be this team’s Ameer Abdullah, ably carrying the
load until an untimely injury forces him to hit the shelf.
Plus, what team is complete without heat between two players? Mysterio and Cena have reason to dislike each other, seeing as how Cena took the WWE
Championship away from him on the same night that he won it. Both Cena and
Mysterio could clash about how often the team should run or pass, forcing Heyman
to step in, booking a steel cage match for the right to goal-line plays. If you
think Richard Sherman openly criticizing Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete
Carroll was somet.
