Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety and current ESPN analyst Ryan Clark attended his first WWE event on Friday night and he came away very impressed. Clark was interviewed after the event and was very impressed with the spectacle’s showmanship, athleticism and physicality.
The conversation then turned to whether or not Clark would ever want to join in on the action like many other former and current professional athletes have done in the past. Clark spent 13 seasons in the NFL and developed a reputation for being one of the most physical hitters in the league. Clark was with the Steelers from 2006-2013 and was part of arguably the best defense in NFL history since the Steel Curtain defenses of the 1970s.

But Clark understands he’s 44 now and would need to be mindful of how he did it. Clark noted he did not want to get into the right and fight any of the guys who get paid to be there but he said they need to let him fight an analyst. Do we want to see Clark in the ring?
