While we talk regarding a common interest with the Nets where he might take over from Andre Drummond, Dwight Howard was Thursday night in Nashville for the WWE Regional Castings. Microphone in hand, the former pivot of the Magic and the Lakers tried to convince a jury, including Triple H, that he can start a career in wrestling.
His stage name ? Sho’Nuff, inspired by the name of the villain in The Last Dragon, an 80s film.
« I think it’s something that’s part of my future » he explained. « I love WWE and I’m so grateful to be here, to see it all, and to try out. I hope one day I will be in the ring fighting, waving a belt. It would be amazing. »
A homecoming in Orlando?
Will he take the step this summer as he still has no contract?
“Obviously I would like to play in the NBA. It’s what I’ve done all my life and I love basketball. This is my passion “ he answers. “I still have a few years ahead of me and so I would really like to play in the NBA and end my career on a very high note. And then make the transition to the greatest business in the world, WWE. »
Ironically, the WWE Performance Center, which trains wrestlers, is in Orlando. ” Coming back there would be huge because I would start a new career in Orlando, like I did with the Magic in basketball Howard concludes.
