WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross was recently a guest on The Herd with Collin Cowherd to promote his new book “Slobberknocker: My Life in Wrestling.” Ross talked about a variety of professional wrestling topics, but one of the more interesting subjects was the speculation as to whether or not UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor would ever appear in WWE. Ross admitted that he believes “The Notorious One” will one day make an appearance in WWE, but it will simply be a one-off deal:
“I know that he’s an amazing performer and an amazing talent. I have great respect for the UFC, everything they do, and him,” Ross said. “There’s no way you can convince me that Conor McGregor will not earn a massive check from Vince McMahon someday in the future.
“It will not be a career deal, it would be a one-off special occasion, massive promotion, I would suggest maybe at a WrestleMania somewhere down the road. But the attraction is there, the marketing is there, the money is there, so why not make it happen? So I think Conor is guaranteed for that.
“And I also think Conor’s not done in the octagon either, I think he’s a competitor. He likes to prove that he’s the alpha-male.”
