Michael Page Would Love to Be Featured in WWE
Rising Bellator star Michael Page shares his thoughts on cross-branding with WWE.
These days, the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and mixed martial arts (MMA) worlds appear to be progressively converging, with personalities from both genres crossing over increasingly frequently.
Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, Ken Shamrock, CM Punk, Ronda Rousey--the list goes on and it doesn't look like it will end anytime soon.
One MMA star who seems prime for the entertainment factor of pro wrestling is Michael Page; a man who has no issue with being the center of attention and certainly doesn't lack charisma.
Speaking last week in London about the possibility of a pro wrestling appearance, the Bellator MMA welterweight said he wouldn't consider going pro wrestling full time, but that an odd appearance could be something of interest.
"Features don't hurt anyone's brand you know," Page said. "Multiple famous boxers have done it. Ronda Rousey has been in there. It didn't hurt them to expose themselves to new markets.
"In terms of actual legit crossover full-time--no, my focus is MMA, but partnership work and being on a show, I'm a fan of the WWE myself. So yeah, it's something I'd like to do. I'd like to do things with different shows and work with different markets to drag their eyes back to me, so they take notice when I next step in the cage."
