With the WWE looking for rugby players to transform into superstars, RUCK looks at eight players who could thrive in the squared circle.
1. Tendai Mtawarira
Do we really need to explain why the prop would be a perfect wrestler?
The 32-year-old is around 18 stone and wider than three Danny Care's, so he could clearly waltz straight into the squared circle.
Suggested stage name: If Dwayne Johnson is The Rock, Tendai is logically "The Boulder."
2. Jim Hamilton
There used to a be a WWE tag-team called the Highlanders but, alas, Highlander Robbie and Highlander Roy have now hung up their kilts.
So there’s definitely a gap in the market for former Scotland battering ram Hamilton.
Suggested stage name: "Big Jim" would suffice.
3. Austin Healey
Former England and Leicester centre Healey - and near namesake of WWE legend "Stone Cold" Steve Austin - isn't afraid of running his mouth and now he needs to back it up in the ring.
Suggested stage name: Stone Cold Austin Healey
4. James Haskell
One of the hardest hitters to ever step foot on a rugby field, Hask is the most obvious, and probably best, choice for a move to the WWE.
Haskell sacrifices his body every single week playing rugby and, as you can tell by his intensity, it is truly for the love of the game. Nobody would expect anything less if he we to become a wrestler.
He's also more than at home in front of a camera.
Suggested stage name: Macho Man James Haskell
5. Sonny Bill Williams
Suggested stage name: Prince SBW
6. Jamal Ford Robinson
The Northampton prop would make a very good wrestler because, well, he is one!
In March of last year, the brawny prop took on Tyson James from Progress Wrestling
Suggested stage name: He was called 'Krisys'
7.Joe Moody
An amateur wrestling champion, the All Black prop would be good muscle for Stone Cold Austin Healey when he's running his mouth. An absolute powerhouse.
Suggested stage name: Mad Dog Moody
8. Mike Brown
Who could wind up a crowd better? He's athletically gifted and despite being a nice guy off the field seems to always get on the wrong side of the fans. The perfect bad guy.
Suggested stage name: The best in the world, Mike Brown
