I know Bob Sapp did a lot of fake fighting but I never knew he did pro wrestling

Bob Sapp was on a WCW developmental contract in 2001!

Bob Sapp starred alongside Michael Jai White in the loving amazing straight-to-DVD movie "Blood and Bone" :cool:


E: Gina Carano was in it too!

Sapp was a horrible wrestler but giving him the IWGP title was one of Inoki's least dumb ideas of the time given how hot Sapp was in Japan at the time

wasn't part of the key to the Bob Sapp's popularity his total willingness to fulfill every stereotype of black people that the Japanese had

If that was the case, he wouldn't have won Most Charismatic in the Observer Awards two straight years, and finished 2nd place in Wrestler of the Year.

The key part to his popularity is that he is a raving lunatic.

Also the fact that he was the size of a shed and 300% jacked. That probably helped too.

Supposedly WWE was considering an MMA show in like 2002 that was going to be built around him, leading to a Triple H vs. Bob Sapp Wrestling vs. MMA match at Mania.

They wanted to sign him but wouldn't give him what he wanted so Lashley got the Bob Sapp push. Yes, Bob Sapp would have been ECW champion.

If ECW had Bob Sapp there would still be ECW PPVs going today.

Bob Sapp randomly shilling Ali Baba on Talkin Shop podcast doesn't even break his top 10 weirdest moments. He's the Great Muta's son, after all.

The egg was laid by Yinling the Erotic Terrorist, by the way. If you were wondering who laid the egg from which Akebono emerged, it was Yinling the Erotic Terrorist.

And it was conceived mid-match after the Great Muta misted her crotch. Who was only there because his partner summoned him from a genie’s lamp before the match.
