Could we see the first European soccer player make the transition to the WWE soon? According to Tim Wiese, it’s a possibility. Wiese, former Bundesliga goalkeeper for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim told German tabloid Bild that he’s already had an offer of interest from the WWE:
“I have an official enquiry from the WWE. It’s about working for them as a wrestler. I will listen. I don’t shit my pants. Why should I immediately say no? Wrestling is very popular, especially in the [United] States. I will go through the enquiry with my agent next week.” – Bild
Wiese played six games for the German International Men’s team, and participated in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Wiese has undergone a dramatic transformation in preparation for his life after soccer, and, possibly, his future in professional wrestling:
Whether or not this will pan out is anybody’s guess, but a word to the Wiese (if you will): I wouldn’t be too dismissive of guys shitting their pants, dude. Some of them go on to have pretty bright futures.
