Randy Orton has opened up on a certain MLB player’s possible career in pro wrestling.
Earlier today, fans saw The Apex Predator throw the first pitch during the St. Louis Cardinals versus Tampa Bay Rays match. Before the match began, the former tag-team Champion took ground and stunned fans with an impressive pitch.
However, Randy Orton also laid out a big prediction for St. Louis Cardinals’ Alec Burleson’s possible career in pro wrestling. A good hitter, Burleson possesses impressive strength, and Orton shared how it can benefit him in his pro wrestling career when asked about it.
It’s not a bad question, it’s a very good question. I think he could hack it because he’s a pro athlete. I think any of these guys could hack it. When they have made it to this level, the dedication, the determination that gets them here, they would just apply that in the pro wrestling world.”
Over the years, several pro athletes have had successful careers in pro wrestling. Names such as Goldberg, Tiffany Stratton, Ron Simmons, Roman Reigns, The Rock, Brock Lesnar, and many more have experienced illustrative careers in the business.
With huge compliments and predictions from The Viper, Burleson has a long career ahead of him in baseball and possibly at the Stamford-based promotion, as noted by Orton.
