re: What athletes from your school or others went on to become famous at something else?

You shouldn't include wrestling if you aren't including other sports. I know it's fake bit it still requires a certain level of size and athleticism. A large portion of pro wrestling has a background in athletics via football collegiate/Olympic wrestling bodybuilding mma etc. I'm ok with the rock being on here tho as he is an established actor

Yeah, you're not reading it right. If Bo Jackson had never played baseball at all at Auburn and went on to be a KC Royal, that's fine. My point was those athletes were already two sports stars in college and continued that into the pros.

I'm assuming no college has an amateur style professional wrestling type team. Actual amateur wrestling and pro wrestling share little in common.

Finally, pro wrestling is not classified as a sport. It's call sports entertainment and there is a reason for that.

Antonio Gates would be fine for example. He played basketball, not football, in college. Ironically, the reason he did not play football is because of Nick Saban. So even a sport is okay, as long as they weren't considered great at in college. Deion, Bo and Charlie Ward were already considered to have good odds to go pro in their lesser known roles in college sports.
