Is Rob Gronkowski on the verge of becoming a full-fledged professional wrestler with the WWE? It appears so.

This wouldn't be the first time the former New England Patriots tight end was involved with the organization. Gronkowski took part in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33 in 2017, jumping the barricade to help wrestler Mojo Rawley (a friend of Gronkowski's) win the match.

At any rate, all this talk about Gronk's potential WWE future made us a little nostalgic. So here's a few of our other favorite wrestling moments involving famous athletes from other sports:

Lawrence Taylor, WrestleMania XI


Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman, Bash at the Beach 1998


Mike Tyson, WrestleMania XIV


Gronk has a lot to live up to.
