What in the world?! Pllana Productions making a video saying that Conor McGregor should come to the WWE? Didn’t he hate him a couple of months ago? If you guys have been subscribed to my channel, then you might have seen some of my videos where I hate on Conor McGregor for some comments he has made about WWE wrestlers. Well, Conor McGregor is an absolute ‘sav’. I’m not going to lie, he has won me over. With the recent comment made by McGregor saying he is open to a WWE offer, I decided to list 5 Reasons Why Signing him is the best thing for the WWE to do now. Before we start the video, make sure to subscribe and you can become a Pllanite, or PllanHead, or anything cheesy that you guys could think of.
5 - Potential Opponents and Feuds
Conor McGregor coming to the WWE would benefit the product because it would make for so many new fresh storylines and feuds. I wouldn’t put McGregor anywhere near jobbers, because it is obvious that he will be a part timer. But, if the WWE can get him in the big four PPVs which are Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, Summerslam and WrestleMania, then that would make for 4 interesting storylines a year for McGregor. Imagine Conor McGregor feuding with guys such as Shinsuke Nakamura, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and John Cena. We can get some true storylines that would make wrestling interesting again. The only problem with Conor McGregor would be finding out how to utilize him in matches. Since he was so dominant in the UFC, who would be a credible contender who could beat him. Would you have to make him another Brock Lesnar where he destroys everyone, minus the Goldberg part. Maybe they find ultimate submission specialist to take him down. Anyways, McGregor could shake things up in regards to brand new storylines.
4 - Easy Transition
Most of the newer WWE wrestlers have little to no experience with ammeter wrestling, fighting or pro wrestling. They come to the WWE, go to the performance center and train there and get some matches in NXT. Conor McGregor, on the other hand, is already a trained athlete who has experience in fighting. WWE should have no problem with him making a transition to professional wrestling. They can easily train him in a few months and he should be ready to debut on the main roster. Another similar situation to McGregor would be Kurt Angle making his transition from collegiate wrestling to pro wrestling. Also, Angle brought over his own unique style and McGregor can do the very same. Another benefit of McGregor is he is only 28 years old, so he got a lot of years left in the tank.
3 - Savage on the Mic
Nowadays in the WWE, it is very important and crucial that you have the skills on the microphone. Guys like Enzo Amore, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens are striving with their promos. Conor McGregor is an absolute ‘sav’ on the mic in UFC. He is one of those cocky asshole’s who literally do and say whatever they want. It is a perfect gimmick for him to use in the WWE. He does curse a lot which I don't think WWE can tone down because it really makes his press conferences that much more intense. That intensity would make the overall storyline much better. Here are a few things that McGregor has said in UFC, “I should create my own belt. I am, in myself, my own belt. It doesn’t matter if its featherweight, lightweight, welterweight. It’s the McGregor belt. That’s it, I’m fighting for my own belt.” Another quote from McGregor is “Trash talk? Smack talk? This is an American term that makes me laugh. I simply speak the truth. I’m an Irishman.” If McGregor can bring this attitude on the mic to the WWE, people will truly listen and want to hear more McGregor.
2 - A True Heel
WWE are missing true heels nowadays. Whether it be AJ Styles getting cheered and the entire crowd chanting his name. Or even Chris Jericho who gets the biggest pop when he clicks a pen. The lack of true heel heat is missing. The only two people I can say who generates actual heel heat are Stephanie McMahon and the Miz. With that said, I think McGregor can be the next big heel that would be hated from a almost the entire crowd. Thinking about it, McGregor is a complete cocky asshole who brags about everything. He brags about the amount of money he makes, he brags about being the best, and at a press conference he grabbed someone else's title and said this will be mine. He takes cockiness to a new level. Right there, most fans will be upset that he isn’t humble. Now you also add the fact that he called wrestlers pussies, and boom now the fans of the WWE feel disrespected. Finally, all he has to say is that he doesn’t care about the WWE, he just wants to kick some ass and make money and people will be furious.
1 - Popularity
UFC is becoming more popular and they can thank Conor McGregor for that. It’s been reported that McGregor drew twice as many buys in 1 year than the entire UFC in 2014. When he fights, people go out to bars, go to a friends house or even watch with there dad. Conor McGregor can draw and if the WWE can land him that would be insane. WWE’s ratings have been at an all time low this year and they don’t know what to do. Maybe Conor McGregor is the solution for that problem. Ever since HIAC this year I’ve been not watching RAW because I don’t find the need to watch three hours of the same thing. To be brutally honest, if McGregor is on RAW, I’d watch any week he’s there. Many probably have the same opinion. Also, UFC fans may check out what Conor’s doing on RAW and they might possibly like it and stick around. Finally, you have to add the shock value. If WWE signs McGregor, everyone will be talking about it on youtube, twitter, facebook through text messages. Conor McGregor and the WWE will be the most talked about thing for that day. Ultimately, Conor McGregor can generate more viewers and money for the WWE.
