Seeing how amateur greats turned pro wrestlers like Brock Lesnar and Jake Hager have successfully transitioned into MMA, most mat-based grapplers that find themselves in a squared circle are often asked about potentially moving into an octagon one day.
As an amateur standout and member of Team Angle in the early 2000s, Charlie Haas fit the bill, but said MMA was not for him.
Wrestling Inc. Daily. “Brock’s a little bit younger than us. But we were about ten years too late for that. When we started pro wrestling, that’s when UFC 1, with Gracie and Shamrock, the rounds were ten minutes long. There was no entertainment. It was dying a slow death, and it did die. And WWF at the time was taking off.”
During tonight s IMPACT Rebellion PPV, the promotion announced a number of upcoming PPV events.
The first Under Siege takes place on Saturday, May 15.
Next, Against All Odds on Saturday, June 12.
