WWE'S DREW MCINTYRE KHABIB COULD BE A WWE SUPERSTAR... Team Up W/ Paul Heyman
Khabib Nurmagomedov is unemployed ... but if the UFC legend is looking for a new gig, WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre says he'd be a helluva professional wrestler.
TMZ Sports talked to the former 2x WWE champ after the 32-year-old, 29-0 Khabib officially retired from the UFC last week.
Nurmagomedov is known for his fighting -- not his trash-talking -- so we asked the 'Monday Night Raw' star if Khabib would be any good in the WWE ring.
"[Khabib's] so talented that I reckon he could make some noise, and if he can't make the noise himself, we’ve got Paul Heyman. We’ve got a few talented people who can carry the load when it comes to talking," McIntyre says.
"MVP has done a heckuva job for [Bobby] Lashley. Maybe that's another name to throw in the hat. But, [Khabib's] such an amazing performer in the UFC, and if he can't quite figure out that part, we’ll make it work."
Drew continued ... "We’re about enhancing the positives and hiding the negatives. I think the fans would be very excited to see him."
Of course, Heyman is Brock Lesnar's legendary, longtime hype man.
I didn’t read the article but something tells me there are many things about WWE thought would clash with Khabib’s religious sensibilities....
Does the article address that?

I cant see it happening
You'll see Khabib sunbathing on Conor's yacht with a bottle of proper 12 before you see him in the WWE.

Khabib's people and Heyman's people have a long history. There is no way Khabib would put that aside.

Also, he left fighting to handle business at home so why now would he come back for this?
And who in their right mind would come out of MMA rich and relatively unscathed and then decide to just destroy their body for WWE?
Pro wrestlers have to act. And act demonstrably, with personality. Over the top. It’s even like having fun in a way! Khabib aint having fun.
