Wrestlers and sports
 

I've noticed that almost every single wrestler who has ever made it big has either played sports in high school, college, or both. As a matter of fact, I don't know of any wrestlers that didn't play high school or college sports. It seems as if it's a prerequisite or something. Most of them have played either football, basketball, or were amateur wrestlers in school. So does anybody know of any wrestlers that have made it big in the business and haven't previously played any other sports?? No sports at all. No football, no amateur wrestling, nothing. Just pro wrestling. I can't think of any at all.

RVD was part of the Flavor Country crew. By that I mean the group of teens who hung out under the football bleachers smoking dank

Yeah I wonder that alot, I know that William regal got into wrestling by his grandfather (or just his dad I cant remember) but his....whatever used to wrestle at a circus or somthing and once william regal got involved so...

it's not much help but its all I can think of kinda hard question though. but I'll look it up for you

Spike Dudley was a teacher before going into wrestling. I'm not sure if he played any sports prior

Regal, if I remember correctly, idid some shoot wrestling in Wigan. That definitely counts as a sport.

Christy. :shifty:

Eddie Guerrero has only ever done wrestling I believe.

Don't think Foley did anything

oh all right then. Also Naitch george 'the animal' steele was a teacher before wwe/wwf days.

Foley did Lacrosse (sp?)

hardcore holly(auto racing is not a sport)

Listen, not to be rude or whatever, but are yo surprised by this, really?

"Oh my god, it turns out that you have to be a pretty decent athlete to be a successful wrestler!!!!"

Maybe it's because they are all athletes before getting into the sport that helps them succeed.

:nono:

:rofl:


I live in Texas, so I should be sterotypically offended but I hate NASCAR so I don't care. However, my Uncle Bubba is coming from the BBQ Ranch to kick your ass. :shifty:

lol making one left turn for 2 hours is not a sport. but i'm not getting into this arguement again.

If you can say Golf is a sport then racing is a sport, but I'm not gonna get into it either.

When did I say golf was?

I didn't mean strictly you, I meant everyone who says racing isn't a sport in general.

at least in golf you have to walk 18 holes.

Golf is a sport.

I think so too, but I was just trying to make a point.

golf is more of a sport than auto racing.

If NASCAR was a 'sport', wouldn't that make anyone who drives a car an 'athlete'? Or do you have to have 'Tide' written on your shirt for it to count?

1. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively, a particular form of this activity.
2. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
3. An active pastime; recreation.

Racing fits all of this.

:rofl: You really didn't need to prove your status as "TPWW's resident redneck!" but with your valient defense of NASCAR™ I decree that you are "TPWW's resident uber-redneck!"

YAY :D

lol in that case Chess is technically a sport.

a sport doesn't mean you have to be fit and buff. It can be a mental game as well so yea chess is a sport.

this definition needs to be changed.

What most people think of sport is actually a game.

Curling (on ice) is the only "sport" I have a problem with.

Hey those broom guys do a lot of work. :shifty: :D

I was watching that on ESPN the other day for a bit, that shit looks hard.

Not this arguement again.

lol like i said, i'm not argueing this again.

IT's not a sport. There last time!!

Because obviously again you were proven wrong.

You guys are arguing the definition of sport when this is more about the definition of the word "athlete."

You can call NASCAR a sport, but the drivers just aren't the same level of athlete as the people who play football, futbol, basketball, track, etc. on the prfessional level.

NASCAR drivers are not athlete. damn it, i keep getting sucked in. and it's not a sport, it's a competittion.

You really are a fucking moron, aren't you?
