Former Football athlete signs contract w/ WWE
Stuart Tomlinson, an English former football (soccer) goalkeeper, is the latest former professional athlete to join WWE. The 28-year-old, who recently appeared on the cover of Men's Health Magazine after working as a male model, has signed a developmental contract with WWE.
The Chester, England-born former footballer, who retired following a knee injury last summer, met with WWE representatives during the company's European tour last month. Quote:

Certainly has "the look", but he's "short" for a wrestler.

"Football athlete"
|
"who recently appeared on the cover of Men's Health Magazine after working as a male model"
who needs talent when you can do this? |
He retires from football due to a knee injury, so it make perfect sense to then become a professional wrestler and join the company with the most demanding schedule and highest expectations.
That knee of his is going to be just fine and give him a long and prosperous wrestling career. |
Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Mongo, and others all joined wrestling due to their sports careers being cut short by knee injuries.
|
didn't Nash play basketball?
|
yes, but not professionally i think
|
Yeah. He was a basketball athlete.
|
Nash played overseas I believe
|
I went into this thinking Monty Brown is back.
Instead it's football as in soccer. Ah well. |
