Chuck Liddell’s mixed martial arts (MMA) career may be over, but his professional wrestling career could just be getting started.

Speaking to ComicBook.com, Liddell reveals he used to party with Shane McMahon, a top WWE executive and son of professional wrestling tycoon Vince McMahon, and Shane actually tried recruiting him for WWE in the past.

“I used to hang out with Shane McMahon every once in a while, we would go out and party sometimes,” Liddell said. “And he said ‘If you’re ever seriously interested about coming over we should talk.’ I love fighting and I love being in real fighting and I mean I got nothing against WWE.

“I wouldn’t mind doing that now too. It’s just acting, going out and doing the acting. Those guys do some pretty impressive things in the ring as far as… I mean it’s all staged, but it’s still you know, it’s not easy.”

The 49-year-old also explained how different the WWE is from any other form of sport or entertainment. In the ring, you must rely on your dance partner to keep you save, as you’re putting your safety in their very hands.

“One of the things I’ve always had with that sport too, is the difference between my sport and their things, see you’re putting your trust in the other guy not to hurt you,” Liddell said.

“Surrendering your body to him. Like, throw you and hope he doesn’t hurt you. In my sport, I’m responsible for you not hurting me. I like having the responsibility on my end not yours.”

What do you make of Liddell’s WWE interest?

Former WWE Superstars Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer expressed their belief Tuesday that Shane McMahon could compete in UFC.

As seen in this video courtesy of TMZ Sports, Bully and Dreamer both offered a ringing endorsement (Warning: Some language NSFW):

McMahon has no professional MMA experience, but he has wrestled many matches in WWE, including a show-stealing bout with AJ Styles at WrestleMania 33.

Dreamer said he would like to see McMahon go to the UFC because he’s a “real badass” and thinks he could “choke some dudes out or knock them out.”

Bully agreed with Dreamer’s assessment and said there’s “no doubt” Shane could handle himself in the Octagon.

The son of WWE chairman Vince McMahon is best known for taking insane risks in the pro wrestling world, such as jumping off the top of Hell in a Cell against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32.

While a foray into MMA at the age of 47 seems unlikely, Shane’s fearlessness would serve him well if he ever decided to make the leap.
