Back in January, former UFC & Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey made her WWE debut at the Royal Rumble PPV. Despite Rousey being a huge pro wrestling fan and the fact it's been rumored for some time, many MMA fans can't see why anyone would go from MMA to the "fake" world of Professional Wrestling. The interesting thing is that many big MMA names and legends have begun in MMA and did wrestling at some point. With Rousey having just debuted at Wrestlemania, we'll take a look at MMA Fighters who later dabbled in pro wrestling. Keep in mind that this list will only feature fighters who started in MMA and then did pro wrestling whether it be short term or long term. That means that wrestlers who then did MMA like Brock Lesnar, Ken Shamrock, Kazuyuki Fujita, Masakatsu Funaki, Kiyoshi Tamura, Minoru Suzuki, Dan Severn, & Kazushi Sakuraba don't count.

Tag Teams Where The Breakout Wrestler Wasn't Who Everybody Thought

Wrestling is like everything else in life in that not everything goes as you expect. After the rise of Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels in the early 90s, people have usually speculated on which member of a team would be the breakout star and which would fade to obscurity. While many cases, promotions and fans have been right on which would go farther, they're not right all the time as there have been teams where one was expected to go the farthest but the partner would end up doing better. We'll take a look at teams where the breakout star wasn't who people thought it would be.

Sad milestone today as it marks the 25th anniversary of the death of Brandon Lee, the son of Bruce Lee. Lee passed away at 28 after accidentally getting shot with a faulty prop gun that had a dummy cartridge lodged in it while filming The Crow. The Crow was a great movie and Lee's death almost reminds me in a way of Heath Ledger's 15 years later as Lee passed away right as he was doing a movie that seemed like it would advance his career. Obviously, The Dark Knight was much bigger but you get the point.
