DeAngelo Williams wins pro wrestling debut despite awkward top-rope leap
Could DeAngelo Williams be on the road to the WWE?
Williams won his pro wrestling debut for Impact Wrestling on Sunday, taking down the tandem of Eli Drake and Chris Adonis at Slammiversary XV as part of a tag team with former NFL lineman-turned-wrestler Quinn "Moose" Ojinnaka.

The free-agent running back even went to the top rope to perform a frog splash, though the move looked just as painful for Williams as his opponent, as the NFL veteran went face first into the canvas.

Williams had a swift comeback for his critics, however:
