Top 10 Houston Rappers & Their Wrestler Counterparts

Page 3 of 5

Rapper: Propain Wrestler: Brock Lesnar

Few can honestly deliver every line on a song with the raw ferocity that Pro delivers and be technically great at it at the same time. Like, you see how there are four people in Slaughterhouse?

Pro likes all of them and can be every single one of them, and that includes Joe Budden's awesome propensity to snatch up bad ass women. A freak of nature, Lesnar pretty much rewrote the book on athletic superheavyweights, being a badass wrestler and somebody who would legit fight you thanks to his UFC background.

I think I motivated Pro to do something dastardly on Ridin' Slab.

Rapper: Delorean Wrestler: Sting

Often moody when he feels introspective, Delo's cult following at the moment has all the makings of Sting's transformation back in the mid-'90s from surfer dude with face paint to a knockoff Brandon Lee circa The Crow.

Not saying Delo would don facepaint anytime soon but tell me the tempo between Hood Politics 2 and Hood Politics 3 at least from the on-set doesn't feel like a transformation. Delo was pissed right out of the gates going into HP2 and on 3? Much different story.

Side Note: Anybody mind asking Delo what he wants to be officially called? Cause if it turns into a Delo/Delorean thing like Le$ and his multiple rap names that haven't stuck, I may have to call Vince McMahon to settle this.
