Sapp doesn't seem like much of a pro wrestler to me, he doesn't seem agile enough.

Well, atleast they won't KTFO him in seconds, and he'll feel accomplished.

I think if he did sign for the WWE, then i think it would'nt be a total success.
I think after a year of being competetive, i think that he'd be too much of a copy to Bobby Lahley, or Batista,so i don't think it would work out.

Sapp makes Batista look like a baby.

I just think he's another one of 'Those' Guys.

Bob Sapp is a huge 350 pound guy. He is in great shape for a guy that huge. I would expect him to do really well in the WWE. And, por-wrestling is not too proud to take MMA leftovers, if we can call it that. Big guys that are retired from MMA can make a lot of money in a post-MMA pro-wrestling career. Bob Sapp also is more marketable.

Here is a bit from Bob Sapp's BIO:

"Bob Sapp's pro-wrestling career started in NWA Wildside in 2001. He was briefly contracted by World Championship Wrestling as a developmental wrestler, but he washed out of the program due to his bad cardiovascular conditioning. In 2004, Sapp competed for New Japan Pro Wrestling, winning their prestigious IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, though it was vacated shortly thereafter due to a mixed martial arts fight loss and film commitments. Sapp had roles in Elektra and the 2005 remake of The Longest Yard, starring Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. Bob Sapp also appeared as an extra in the movie Fun with Dick and Jane. There were rumors of Sapp being in talks with the WWE about signing a deal as reported in UK pro-wrestling magazine Powerslam but those talks have seemed to have died down."

So, as we can see, Sapp has already had a pro-wrestling career. If this latest rumor is true, then he is just returning to pro-wrestling and not just starting out.
