Sean O'haire, Goldberg, and Lesnar are actually considering entering K-1. Goldberg and Lesnar kinda has no other choice because of their contract, they're not allowed to wrestle for any other company until their contract ends. O'haire...he just sucks.

Doesn't Goldberg train Muay Thai anyway? At least he won't be totally clueless.

back in the day ken shamrock was in the wwf

i could see it as an easy transition from pro wrestling to mma. pro wrestlers are mostly in great shape, and pretty tough. also some of them have previous amateur wrestling backgrounds. ( like kurt angle)

Previous amateur wrestling backgrounds? Like Kirk Angle? I am sorry, but last time I checked Kirk Angle is anything but an amateur wrestler.

Didn't he win gold in the olympics? Or win a medal in the olympic wrestling?

Which would make him an amatuer wrestler...

Ya, but Kenny was in UFC before he left to the WWF. Then he came back. Then there was Nathan Jones...former world strongest man, former Pride competitor, and botched everything he did when he wrestled...

the olympics are considered amateur, because no one is getting paid. there are pro level boxers and basketball players in the olympics, these days, but it is still amateur.
