Now taking name suggestions for a Georges St-Pierre and Hulk Hogan WWE tag-team combo

No, no no … you’re not allowed to seriously start up the talk about Georges St-Pierre bailing on MMA to go to the WWE.

And spare us the comments about it being a slow news day, while you’re at it.

St-Pierre this weekend was hanging in South Florida with “The Hulkster” himself, pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan. And today, Hogan tweeted a dual fist pose photo of the two of them together – saying they could be the next WWE tag-team champions.

For good measure, Hogan dropped in his signature “brother” on the end, though he failed to remind us all to train, say our prayers and take our vitamins.

St-Pierre (26-2 MMA, 20-2 UFC) vacated the UFC’s middleweight belt he won from Michael Bisping at UFC 217 in November after he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. “Rush” said he wasn’t entirely sure what the future holds but is optimistic he can treat the condition since his case isn’t believed to be particularly severe.

The former UFC welterweight titleholder said the diet and weight-gain program he used to move up to middleweight for the first time was the cause of his colitis. As a result, he’s likely one-and-done at 185 pounds, meaning if he does compete again, St-Pierre will likely be fighting back at welterweight.

This WWE-MMA crossover thing isn’t exactly new. The strong rumor is that former women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is headed to the WWE. She’s done some crossover work there already. And Phil “CM Punk” Brooks came over to the UFC after years as a pro wrestler. Brock Lesnar, of course, was the most successful – he was a champ in both the UFC and WWE.

So that got us thinking. Let’s say St-Pierre did decide to go to the WWE and work with the 64-year-old Hogan as a tag-team. What should their name be?

Sound off in the comments below with your name suggestions … while remembering that, hey, life is short, it’s the holidays, and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with having a little fun. Don’t take all this so seriously.
