Since Jon Jones may get a four year ban, how do you think he would do on the Pro Wrestling circuit? If he would do Japan and the indy scene/GFW.

He'd be a great heel because his real life persona is so arrogant and snobbish because he knows he can legit fukk up whoever is in front of him
He's 6'4 205 at fighting weight but walks around at 230 comfortable
Spinning backfist or a rear naked choke would look legit on anyone from him

Take away the roids and give him some credible opponents and he'd be Brock lesnar but cornier

i dont think his charisma translates well to wrestling.

i also doubt he'd be into it like others who have made a transition are.

you need to have a passion for wrestling to succeed in it.

not every ufc fighter is cut out to be a pro wrestler. brock actually enjoys the business. u can see it in his eyes when he's in the ring too.

now jon jones may like wrestling. i don't know.

I've said it before. Send him to New Japan and have him join Suzuki-Gun and terrorize the roster for a good year with Minoru on some Palpatine/Vader shyt :banderas::wow:

They'd have to worry about someone shooting on a guy in the ring just because or wrestling while high, then. Not sure if Jon would add too much aside from a one off.

He already has a character. He's not super charismatic, but the general public know of Jon Jones and his history. He's more well known than any WWE wrestler, besides Brock. That's better than trying to build up Roman Reigns or Seth Rollins for the 10th time with no discernible change or development to their characters. I still don't know who Roman Reigns is besides some guy who wins and moves his arm up and down like a gun. We know who Jon Jones is. He's snobby, he's arrogant, he's a two faced liar and he'll do whatever it takes to win. All it takes is a package of his highlights from the news, from his college days, from the UFC and from the gym, and that's all you really need to build him up as a killer. Maybe have him kill Paul Heyman while he does his usual ramble on for 5 mins about nothing spiel for Brock. The UFC already built up Jon vs Brock for them. I think he'd do well in a short program or a money match, if they built him up correctly.

I say put the IWGP Heavyweight Championship on him or the IWGP United States Championship (since the are trying to branch over to the U.S.).

He should just go all in on the coke and steroids and being a dikk and become a legend in japan, then do a couple years in wwe to really make that money.
