I’m not sure what desperation smells like…but I’m fairly certain it reeks of Axe body spray and looks like this.
That’s right, gang. Our good friend Jose Canseco is back on the Twitters and this time, he’s asking WWE for a job.
Sure, the wrestling outfit is known for giving embattled pros second and, even, third chances at legitimacy (both Pete Rose and Mike Tyson are members of their Hall of Fame), but something tells me they’ll stay far away from this one. You see, this isn’t the first time the embattled big leaguer has tried to get in the ring.
This year.
Matter of fact, in the past twelve months, dude has tried everything in his power to get between the ropes.
Last October, it was announced that Canseco would square off, for some reason, against “notorious White House gatecrasher” Tareq Salahi. Salahi was subsequently replaced by former All-Star outfielder Lenny Dykstra. “Nails” then bailed…and the fight was shelved.
That, of course, led to the now infamous Twitter war between the one-time American League MVP and basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal. And, no, despite Shaq’s pleas…UFC president Dana White wasn’t aboout to bite.
“I have a buddy in Boston trying to make (the fight) happen,” White told The Hall exclusively. “Listen, I’m friends with Shaq and he doesn’t want that. Can you imagine if he got clipped by Jose Canseco? (Laughs).”
So where else to turn?
A ha! Ever heard of TNA, er, Impact Wrestling? No?!? You better believe Jose Canseco has. More than a few times.
This is a lot of effort for a guy who, in March 2011, (in)famously sent his twin brother Ozzie to a “celebrity” boxing match in his place.
And, yes, I went this entire post without making a steroid reference…pretty hard to do when talking about (A) Jose Canseco and (B) the world of professional wrestling.
