The NFL vs The WWE: AFC North

Welcome back!  Now time to compare the teams of the AFC North to WWE Superstars.

- Baltimore Ravens: Alberto Del Rio
          The current World Heavyweight Champion is, in my opinion, kind of boring.  Sure, he wrestles well, and always seems to hit people really hard, but I am not entirely sure how he has managed to remain a main event player so consistently since he debuted.  This is pretty much exactly how I feel about the Ravens, and I like them!  The Ravens will knock you out, have been in the playoffs the previous 5 seasons, and won the Super Bowl last year.  However, there doesn't seem to be anything that spectacular about them.  They may not be the best team to watch, but they manage to stay at a high level all the time.  Furthermore, Ray Lewis, the mouthpiece of the Ravens, is now gone.  Ricardo Rodriguez, ADR's ring announcer, is now teamed with someone else too.  Funny how that works.

- Pittsburgh Steelers: Brock Lesnar
          The Steelers are one of the best run franchises in all of sports.  They are extremely physical, intimidating, and tough.  Even when they aren't around the playoffs, they will make sure they hit you hard.
They are a perfect comparison to Brock Lesnar.  He is a monster that always makes sure his opponents feel the most pain possible.  He takes some breaks from being on TV, but comes back stronger and crazier each time.  Its a shame that he has already tried to be in the NFL and failed, because he sure does look like he would be the perfect kind of player for the Steelers.



- Cincinnati Bengals- Sheamus
          FELLA!  Yes, the biggest Irishman you will ever lay your eyes on is my pick for the Bengals.  After all, both hit hard, seem to be fairly consistent these days at being good but not great, and both are overshadowed by the other guys in their division (the Heavyweight division, for Sheamus).  Not stopping there, both the Bengals and the Celtic Warrior are kind of boring.  Yes, they have occasional moments of flash and brilliance, such as AJ Green's spectacular catches, or Sheamus' electric Brogue Kick.  But on the whole, they don't do much to really wow you.  Finally, of course, both Sheamus and Andy Dalton are gingers.  Perfect.  I wonder if Andy is related to Beaker also...



- Cleveland Browns- The WWE Divas
          Ok, so the Browns are the Divas, only not nearly as much fun to look at.  They have some talent, sure.  They have a strong, dependable and underrated back in Trent Richardson.  The Divas have Natalya, who really should always be fighting for the title, but isn't because she isn't dating John Cena or something like that.  Really, neither the Browns nor the Divas have any kind of direction, which is a shame.  Both have great histories.  Jim Brown was a Brown!  Trish Stratus was a Diva!  Oh well.  Now both are just painful to watch.  I don't really expect much from either one of them any time soon, though I'd be happy if both were better.


The next entry?  The AFC South.  Only a week until the season!
