First person I thought of, at all, was Barack Obama. I'm not sure if he's been in anything, but if he was then it probably wasn't relevant. Then I thought of a person who's in a game that people would care about, and I thought of Charles Barkley.

I thought it was really funny that Europe voted for him and the Wolfenstein hero over Sora/Riku in the Rivalry Rumble.

The Undertaker

I mentioned Bo Jackson on The Show, but would prefer to get a wrestler into the bracket instead. Could be The Rock, Stone Cold, or Undertaker; I think any of those would hit our sweet spot.

I think Hulk peaked a little too soon and Cena a little too late for our GameFAQs demographic.

Mike Tyson might be the actual best answer though, now that I'm looking these over...

We've had wrestling representation in a contest before, and it wasn't pretty: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4090-east-division-round-1-wwf-no-mercy-vs-fire-emblem-path

I'd say The Rock is the only one of those with real potential, and that's more because of his acting career.
