I got an interesting call from my agent the other day. Apparently, a major pro wrestling company has reached out about a deal. I obviously can't appear during the season but in the offseason, I could. I was seen at a local gym I work out at by a wrestler and he thought I looked the part. We did chat and he mentioned I should think about it but I never thought it was anything more than a conversation. I grew up a huge wrestling fan and many former football players have headed into it after their careers were done. Some dabbled during their careers and then went full-time after retirement.
I told my agent I was very intrigued and he confirmed it would be huge for exposure. I was just a rookie tight end in the DSFL and could use a little name recognition. I agreed to do it and three weeks later I flew out to Vegas to appear on the show. When I arrived everyone was great and helped get me to the right places such as makeup and wardrobe. Finally, the time came to head out to the ring, and some generic beat hit, and I was ushered out the curtain. I walked to the ring waving and the fans seemed responsive. I was introduced by the announcer as an all american football player which is true and the crowd cheered for that tidbit. After that, I went backstage and was told I did well for my first time out in the open like that.
Needless to say, I was impressed and have agreed to return in the future. in the offseason, I will train for some in-ring competition. Look for me in a wrestling ring near you in the future.
