New British Star to join the WWE
by VDT Mon 9 Dec - 10:33
Star might be pushing it but read this in the Metro this morning!
Former Port Vale goalkeeper Stuart Tomlinson is giving up a career between the sticks to take up fighting in the ring – as he jets off to join WWE.
The 28-year-old former body builder, retired from professional football in July because of a knee ligament injury, but it now looks like he’s been given a ticket to try his hand at wrestling with the American franchise.
Tomlinson, who played 81 times for Port Vale before leaving in 2012 to join League Two side Burton Albion until he was forced to call it a day, tweeted: ‘Looking forward to a new job (with the) WWE. Swapping two posts and a net, with four posts and ropes – USA bound!’

Too injured to play football so he's taking up pro wrestling?! How does that work?

Because sport is more physically demanding than acting?

Yeah I think so. I guess they managed it by not wrestling in a way that took a huge toll on the body. Maybe this guy will be the same.
Still, I hope his knee isn't in too bad a state. The physical demands are huge.

Guess he could be more of a mat wrestler like Kurt Angle, rather than a Jeff Hardy type.
Hope it works out for him. Still a big risk as I'd say there are a lot more ways you can get injured in pro wrestling, than in football.
