So my question to you is, "What player on your current team could potentially be a WWE Star?"

For UGA, I give you 6'5" 275lb, Travon Walker

He's talented enough to have played on Special Teams and on Offense....yeah, underneath that uniform, his body is as chiseled as those arms.





So....who ya got?
 
Bronko Nagurski of the Minnesota Golden Gophers starred in the NFL with the Chicago Bears winning 3 Championships, the last of which in 1943 was after being retired for years and being called back to the team while multiple teammates were serving in World War II. He was also National Wrestling Association (precursor to the National Wrestling Alliance) World Heavyweight Champion.

Straight up "Old School". You bring facts that very few know. Every day, every time. I fucking love you, man, but you still ain't getting my Bud Light.
 
IIRC there was a group of old school wrestlers that played football in college Dr Death Steve Williams, Brian Pillman, and Vern Gagne all did IIRC. I am sure there are many others.
 
I think I most a post here somewhere about West Texas State (now West Texas A&M) and all the pro wrestling talent from their football program.
