>>15241260Your criteria is already dogshit because you're lumping in "football" as a "combat sport" so you can pad your list with Austin, Rock, Roman Reigns, and god knows how many others.
The reality is the only guys who had a SHOOT FIGHTING BACKGROUND /before/ getting into pro wrestling is a very small and meager list
>Matt Riddle>shitters like Josh Barnett (wow)You can't even really add Sakuraba because he was a pro wrestler before he was an MMA competitor. Can't add any of the Inoki-ism guys either.
Your list, your entire post, this entire thread fucking sucks and is based on the logic of some spiral-brained retard.
