11 WWE x NBA Comparisons 

LeBron & Roman were both recognized as their best versions when they turned heel (LeBron to Heat in 2011 & Roman in 2020)

The finn and rose one definitely hit different 😭

Stone Cold and Michael Jordan is another great comparison, they both gave their sports the popularity it has today

Finn Balor deserves to have another World Title run after that unfortunate injury in 2016.

Finn needs the world title

Truly the Derrick rose of the wwe

CM Punk is Allen Iverson. Controversy, distinct look that higher ups didn’t like, iconic talking segment. Hometown legend. Cool factor on 100. Curry too clean & friendly to be Punk

most heartbreaking moment in nba history was when derrick rose tore his acl and was never the same just hits hard💔😔

All you gotta do is Bo-Lieve

And I never thought of Linking Seth Curry & CM Punk together either

This is TOUGH!!! 💀

Unfortunately, Finn Balor peaked at SummerSlam 2016 and it's not looking like he will reach that again.

As a 2010 NBA fan and 2016 WWE fan... this shit hurts

The Ambrose & Westbrook really hit me bro😢

I mean Finn was way older then D-Rose

Honey, You had me at LeBron James, I never knew that Roman was the LeBron James counterpart of WWE. THE HECK!

If you really look at it… Cena is more like LeBron since they’re both considered the goat and were at the top for a very long time and hated but when they retire… they will be missed and a void missing

These comparisons are TOO GOOD. Hope there is a part 2. 🔥👏🏽

John Cena shoulda been Lebron. The Tom Brady comparison made sense tho

I just did that nba and wwe comparison on tik tok is crazy

it just shows how bad of a booker that Vince was in the 2010s because he would never book Finn that high again although he got injured by taking someone else’s move, Seth didn’t get that treatment when he tore his knee tho….

We already miss him and he’s not even retired

Seeing you talk about other sports with wrestling is 🔥🔥

Chad Gable and Chris Paul: we came so close to a championship but we failed.

Great content pllana

Seth and KD when u look deeper is the most accurate comparison in this vid on top of making questionable decisions both have constantly been looked at as the 2nd best

The Lebron & Roman one is so accurate 🐐

Pllana Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎

The Shinsuke Nakamura one can also compare to the likes of Dan Marino, Karl Malone, and Patrick Ewing.

I love these comparisons

Cool comparison

Damn, that background music during the roman and lebron comparison

I don’t think Finn’s career was that bad, his NXT runs are mint

Do you guys think Finn Balor should have another tile reign tell me what you think in the comments

that derrick rose one still hurts man…

Finn and NAKAMURA should of been world champions awesome ones like drew punk and cena and orton too

Just thought about this last night with Finn. Astonishing how he and several other bigger stars never got to hold the big gold again

Kobe and Edge: Both had Hall of Fame Careers with multiple championships but was cut short due to injury.

Man I really wish sometimes WWE pulled the trigger with that Seth Balor title rematch. Balor needs one last run with the gold

this vid was different but dope

MJF and Patrick Mahomes: They said we were too young to win it all.

Im guessing vince only saw finn balor as a one time champion like Dolph and Kofi. Yeah finn got injured but Vince probably didnt see that Finn wasn’t worth adjusting to.

These are strongly accurate comparisons

Plz do more of these

A a Bulls I’m still not ok from D Rose

This is unrelated but please bring the What Ifs back, you’re one of the GOATs on RU-vid🙏🏼

Wouldn’t the Lebron one fit better with John cena instead of Roman??..

3:51 CLEVELAAAND.... ACKNOWLEDGE ME!

NGL THE RANDY AND AARON ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN "WE COULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST IN OUR ERA IF THAT ONE GUY WASNT THERE" AKA JOHN CENA AND BRADY

Yo man😢, Prince Devitt😢

That was back when Seth Rollins was on an injury massacre through the roster. No one was safe 😂

Cm punk and jimmy butler feels like a great comparison. Both were named ' locker room cancers' later to prove they not to be, but just to tell what it is in cancerous situations. Both are also regularly underrated when talking about their greatness ( cm punk less lately but very much so in the past)

Can we get more of this? Damn 😢

spudd webb and rey mysterio is a great comparison, both are small but successesful

BRUH! I made that comparison to my home boys for MANY YEARS!

The mavs wanted to resign Jaylen but they couldn’t offer him as much money as the Knicks

Done show thumbnail broke my heart reminded me of the good ole days Bulls just won't the same after 😥

Tha next big thing title change

It’s crazy bc Finn and balor are my favorites in both respective business. I still fw with rose to this day especially when he dropped 50

I do want to compare Michael Jordan with Stone Cold. They both defined a new era. They both have the same grit and they both are one of the toughest sob to ever walk this earth.

Choosing second best european basketball player for kofi kingston is very generous it could be paul pierce and 2008 championship with big three and new day

Shinsuke Nakamura needs the world heavyweight championship or Undisputed WWE Championship

Roman and LeBron are definitely a great comparison, however, as big as LeBron is, I'd also like to compare him to John Cena. Especially the young version of LeBron (pre-Miami). He was so loved and hated at the same time, while PG Cena was also loved and hated at the same time. Can't really explain but to me it really seems so similar for me.

James Harden is more like Chris Jericho

AS A CHICAGOAN D ROSE INJURY MADE MY CRY TEARS I WAS I THINK 9-11 SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT BULLS TEAM COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING

I’ve always thought like this, but with rappers…for instance Triple H is the JayZ of wrestling, Roman is Drake, etc.

Finn deserves one more world title reign

I will die on this hill, but not giving Balor the title at Summerslam while Priest was Mr. MITB was a mistake that hurt the title and pretty much everyone involved with it until Punk returned and it didn’t last. Everyone at this point is just waiting on Gunther to win it.

Who'll be the Tim Duncan of WWE, not flashy but extremely fundamental and most accomplished force

Also, KD and Seth both suffered leg injuries at the worst time.

jayson tatum is austin theory

Where has Shinsuke been?

Durant doing the weakest move? thats Lebron

Would love to see Finn get another title run

The Russel Westbrook and Jon Moxley are good Comparissons

Undertaker and Michael Jordan Both had great career both considered goat by many always efficent great athletes in the beginning of their career and turned into wise and ultimately skilled later on and had they not decided to break the wrestlemania streak for undertaker then they would both be undefeated in the biggest event.

Shout out to DERRICK ROSE

Listening to this The day after them winning the tag team blets cmm

Randy would’ve been Kobe for me you know “NBA” comparison

Since it was amercian talking on this topic I was not expecting them to talk about the biggest sport in the world but a good comparison is Stone Cold and Rock with Ronaldo and Messi for the Fact they have the biggest and most legendary rivalry in WWE and Sports history

Maybe in another universe

Cena and LeBron the best comparison: both loved both hated both controversial both have longevity

I say these were 100% accurate

As a Derrick Rose fan this vid made a sad

Cena is kobe, the rock is mj and roman is LeBron

Finn was gonna be the face of the company but fate did him dirty

Why do people say Mavs let Brunson go? They offered the same contract but Brunson wanted to be where his dad is

3:42 F LEBRON. I won’t miss him

What about a .j styles compared sports athletes maybe Jalen hurts or Patrick mahomes or Dwayne wade

Americans are so disconnected they dont realise that most people have no idea about nba , if you want this vid to do numbers compare it to football players

Is finn balor gonna leave the Judgement Day?

Finn could have easily reached the top if triple h was in control at that time

i love wwe ❤, but lets not compare it to sports 😂

Lebron is Lesnar - both were incredibly dominant at their peaks. Sports media grew obsessed with discussing Lebron as much as possible due to his popularity, even when he wasn’t on a championship contender, and this led to a lack of interest in younger talent in the eyes of the general audience. Lesnar not showing up to most of the PLEs yet WWE keeping the belt on him anyway was just as damaging to the popularity of younger talent in that company. CM Punk right now is Dwight Howard on his second run in Los Angeles. Past his prime, let go of his prior team due to locker room issues. But he returns to the place he left almost a decade prior and creates a massive impact despite not being able to offer what he used to. Roman is Steph Curry - Even though both had won multiple championships before, people still thought there was something missing before considering them an all time great that both have achieved within the last few years. Roman turning heel and forming the bloodline. Steph finally capturing a finals mvp. Going back in time now, Ric Flair is Shaq. All time greats that stayed around way too long. Jordan = Cena. The SuperCena era was just as dominant as Jordan’s 6-0 run in the 90s, and Cena’s decline from the mid-2010s til now resemble Jordan’s time with the Wizards.

Aaron Rodger is my favorite basketball player

CM Punk and Steph could also be compared on the fact that they both revolutionized their respective sports. (Punk being an Indy guy to make it in the big leagues and Steph basically making 3pt shooting a pre-requisite for anyone coming in the league)

Gunther and jokic

I have a tattoo sleeve of Derrick rose and when balor hit the main roster he instantly became my favourite star of the time and it sucks to see rose at the end of a rotation and balor in a supporting role

Are you trying to make me cry because it's working the Derrick rose and Finn 😭😭😭

Here’s my comparison but it’s WWE and NFL. Triple H (Attitude Era version) = Travis Kelce. (I AM THAT… DAMN GOOD! I AM THE GAME! - Triple H) You can say the same thing for Travis Kelce as he is considering from many the best TE in NFL history and my next comparison draws similarities towards Triple Hs success to the top of the WWE when he slept and married the bosses daughter. (Who wears the pants in the family? Do you have to ask your wife for permission first? - CM Punk to Triple H in a promo back in 2011) Stephanie McMahon = Taylor Swift (The Billion Dollar Princess! - Paul Heyman). Both have relationship issues, Stephanie was with Test, then with Triple H and Kurt Angle at the same time before Triple H and Stephanie finally got married in 2003. Taylor Swift, I have no idea who she dated, but she do have history of relationship problems cause of her music LOL. Taylor Swift = John Cena (If you look at their careers, it’s actually accurate, both of them are polarized figures and have lots of haters, lots of diehard football fans (outside of KC, ever since Taylor Swift got involve with the NFL, it already drive fans nuts) and wrestling fans hate these two, I should know this cause not only I’m a diehard wrestling fan but I’m a huge fan of John Cena. Ever since Cena was drafted to Raw in 2005, that’s when wrestling fans slowly turned on Cena despite him being a huge babyface and becoming the new Hulk Hogan of that era, Cena had to change his rap gimmick to a Marine gimmick, it’s actually the same for Taylor Swift, changing from Country music to Pop. Cena was getting booed in many arenas (great example, NYR 2006, WM 22, ECW ONS 2006, Summerslam 2007, No Mercy 2007, No Way Out 2008, MITB 2011), mostly kids and ladies cheering for Cena and male audience booing Cena, same situation with Taylor Swift but it’s mostly females cheering for Swift. Roger Goddell = Vince McMahon (These two will get booed regardless if they’re face or heel, Roger gets booed whether it’s at the Super Bowl presentation or at the NFL Draft. And don’t get me started with Vince McMahon with his famous storylines back then that actually accurate to his real life persona and his recent allegations which I’ll ignore.) Patrick Mahomes = Shane McMahon (I just throw these two just for LOLs, but they do have similarities, both are rich, daddy boys (Shane kissing Vince’s butt, Mahomes kissing Goddell’s butt). Also throw in the fact that fans calling Mahomes a crybaby and wrestling fans chanting to Shane, “Shane’s a Wussy! 👏👏👏👏👏” (Replace the W with a P). Aaron Rodgers = Randy Orton (Their the last remaining guys from the last decade or two that diehard football fans and wrestling fans loved, both are champions, both had injuries and coming back from injuries (Randy is back, Aaron Rodgers is coming back when the season starts.) Both hear voices in their heads, Randy of course and Aaron Rodgers saying dumb crap about the vaccines/politics BS LMAO. Aaron Hernandez = Chris Benoit (What’s scary about this is that both of them had HOF careers before you know what which led to both of their names being erased in their professional careers (NCAA, NFL and WWE). Aaron Hernandez was playing with the NE Patriots alongside Tom Brady and alongside Gronk at the TE position, could’ve been the best one-two punch TE in NFL history, then all of the sudden, Aaron Hernandez threw his life away when he was arrested for murder and killed himself in prison. Chris Benoit had a HOF career dating back to his days in Japan, ECW, WCW and the WWF, then in 2006, he killed his wife and son then killed himself. Both of their names are never mentioned ever again (unless you search on RU-vid LOL). Brett Favre = Kurt Angle (Both live, breath and sleep their respective professions, both willing to play football (Favre) and wrestle (Kurt) despite numerous injuries, Brett Favre started the Ironman of football by playing the most consecutive games without missing a game. Both are winners. Both changed the game for other companies/teams (Brett Favre in Minnesota, almost won a SB with his rival Vikings after a historic career with the Packers. Kurt Angle changed the game for TNA Wrestling, imho had his best matches in TNA than his historic career in the WWE.) Both strangely had weird taste in women, Kurt Angle segment with Joy Giovanni and Sharmell and Brett Farve with Jets cheerleaders LOL.
