I am a big fan of the wrestling and I have been since I was a young kid getting my first taste of the WCW and the Hulk Hogan era. Brother. As I was taking a shower, thinking about the upcoming Elimination Chamber PPV on February 23rd, I couldn't help but to have my mind wander off to see the likeness of many of my favorite wrestlers in comparison to some of the Padres players.
I know what you are thinking, baseball and wrestling? Those aren't alike! WRESTLING IS FAKE!!! But hear me out, I have good reasons for my comparison.
Chris Denorfia is Daniel Bryan
These two are the exact same person. Both of these players are super fan favorites and with their long flowing locks, they pump up fans in their respective arena. Both perform above average, but never seem to get the push they deserve because someone is always in front of them, whether it be John Cena or Will Venable. They are both waiting for their title chance and to show the fans they can be a true champion, defying all odds. While the "#Norf" chant may never catch on like the "Yes!" movement has, both of these superstars fly under the radar, but deliver results.
If you close your eyes and muffle your eyes, it almost sounds like Norf, right?
Cameron Maybin is Kofi Kingston
These two superstars are so much alike. Both are probably the most athletic ones in their respective locker room and perform high flying acts only they themselves would be able to accomplish. They both have the athletic ability but still haven't been able to get a long run at the top. After Cameron Maybin in his first year, he won Padres MVP, but then seem to slip to the level of mediocrity while Kingston has had a few short lived trips at the Intercontinental Title, but hasn't held on long any of those turns. I want both of these guys to get the push they deserve and show their ability to live up to the potential.
I'd like to see him jump off the top ropes
Everth Cabrera is Rey Mysterio
This one feels like a no brainer. Both undersized mens have been able to make a name for themselves by their performance in their craft. One a former WWE Champion and the other an MLB All-Star, while both repping San Diego? The excitement they provide fans through a diving play in the hole or a reversal into a special move, this one is about as cut and dry as it gets.
If Cabby can stop a ball in the hole, he can do this
Kyle Blanks is The Undertaker
Best Intro Video?
The Rock is Huston Street
Imagine the commentators being Mark Grant and Dick Enberg
Chase Headley is John Cena
And last but not least, our two stars. No matter what, these two are expected to perform. I feel like ever time I watch John Cena, I expect him to win and every time Chase Headley steps into the box, he is supposed to hit a home run. Both men act as the face of the locker room and are the top dog. Chase Headley is maybe the only Padre that casual fans can name and same can be said about John Cena. And if Chase Headley's special move was the walk-off home run, he could be deadly in the WWE.
Give him a title belt.
So, we may never see our guys in the ring, but I'll give our team the #1 contender spot on the diamond any day of the week.
