Former Georgia football linebacker Amarlo Herrera turned heads this past weekend by joining a World Wrestling Entertainment tryout.

Goodbye NFL, hello WWE? That might be the case for former Georgia football linebacker Amarlo Herrera.

No longer in the league, Herrera bolted to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida to join a tryout with 39 other athletes, wrestlers, strongmen and martial artists.

The tryout takes place over three days and is led by former WWE and New Japan superstar Matt Bloom, better known as Tensai, A-Train or Albert. Other members of the WWE Performance Center who aren’t superstars helped Bloom in training the athletes.

As a Bulldog fan that likes WWE, 2016 and early 2017 was probably a fun time for you. With the return of Bill Goldberg late last year, to his fast victory over Brock Lesnar, to his WWE Universal Title reign and to his main event at Wrestle Mania.
