The new class of Performance Center recruits features some very exciting names. One of those names is Parker Boudreaux, a former NFL and University of Central Florida football player.

Boudreaux’s signing made headlines across the wrestling industry because of his uncanny resemblance to Brock Lesnar. In fact, being Lesnar’s doppelganger might be his key to superstardom in WWE.

Parker Boudreaux issues a statement on Twitter

Boudreaux announced his signing on Twitter, along with a defining statement about his WWE goals. According to the former football player, “The wrestling world will change forever.”

Every Superstar enters the wrestling business with this goal in mind, but few actually end up making a difference.

Parker Boudreaux holds the key to making that difference in WWE. He’s over 6ft 3, weighs close to 300 pounds, and will train in the famed WWE Performance Center. He might just become WWE’s next big homegrown star, especially since he hasn’t wrestled before at all.

Similar to Brock Lesnar being referred to as the biggest box office star in WWE, Boudreaux has adopted the nickname, Big Box Office Boudreaux.

Apart from his look and strength, Boudreaux requires a genuine passion for the industry and the sport. He will join a long list of greats who became WWE legends after an NFL/football career. This includes Roman Reigns, Goldberg, Ron Simmons, The Rock, etc.

Boudreaux seems like the guy Vince McMahon would want on the main roster as soon as possible. His size and weight advantage over his opponents would make him a terrific heel. With the potential to be a heel, and a tag that says ‘Destroyer of Worlds’, we might be looking at a very menacing man.
