Comments Thread For: Anthony Ogogo Enters Pro Wrestling, Inks Deal With AEW

[M Bison]

Pro wrestling is taking a bunch of MMA and boxing guys recently. Rousey, Velasquez, Fury, Ogogo. Offered Ruiz Jr. a deal too if he is to be believed.

It's a very good thing, maybe reduce the amount of guys that continue fighting for far too long. Where were they for James Toney haha, damn could you imagine JT in WWE noway does he not do a segment without blurting out some swear word.

Why did not ask his promoters golden boy 👦

Good question. He never mentioned Golden Boy in the interview I seen. There really should be something in place for injured fighters, they're not all making millions.

Are they "taking them" doe. Feels like most are 1 offs & even the longer term ones like Ronda's only lasted a year.

But it does seem like historically boxers have often dabbled in wrasslin for some side gig money in those later years when boxing isnt quite paying the bills when its a longer term thing.

WWE may be scripted and choreographed like a overly physical pantomime, but the impacts are real enough. If medical professionals say his eye socket can't take another punch, how the hell does it stand up to a steel chair, step ladders, kendo stick or a flying impact from the top turn-buckle?
