This is kind of cool in the nerdiest, most ridiculous way possible. A Hawkeye Football player is now listed with the likes of Hulk Hogan and Macho Man (I assume these two were champions, don’t fact check me and just assume I’m correct).
I agree, but someone corrected me long ago that Hulk Hogan used to pretend wrestle for the WWF and that folded or something and now the pretend wrestling is WWE.
Awesome to see he is still such a big fan, but watching that video gave me minor PTSD.
It’s the same organization, but WWF got sued and lost the case to use that acronym by the World Wildlife Federation. They then changed to World Wrestling Entertainment. The records for WWF/WWE go back to 1963, and include names like Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Yokozuna, and many others.
I started researching this at an hour ago, so consider me a seasoned vet.
They actually lost a Copyright battle with the World Wildlife Federation.
I looked it up and it appears the WWF and WWE are the same thing, but they had to change their name because they lost to the World Wildlife Federation in court.
I was at that game. Why ruin the thread with this?
I love the fact the Kirk shows up to these things in a tie.
They used to be the WWWF. Why didn’t they just keep using that?
Maybe they got sued by the Wesley Willis Fiasco
Now we need Big E to bring that title back to Iowa City!! 
Remember I told you all this would happen......

He brings pancakes to the ring and occasionally throws them at opponents. To be a “guy” in the WWE, you apparently have to have a thing.
Only if he steps in the ring sometime wearing the classic Iowa Wrestling singlet.
When they had to change to WWE they had a campaign 'get the F out.'
Is Mike Hlas ok? That story has so many repeated statements in it. Is the editor asleep at the wheel?
Big E needs to suplex him.
I thought at first that it seemed out of place to have Coach Franklin as part of this celebrity group and then I remembered he is president of the James Franklin Fan Club.
You dress for the job you want, not the job you have, so i guess Frost wants to be equipment manager.oh, you mean unlike this doofus on the left
Come on. In that picture he's dressed just like 80% of the Nebby fanbase.
Nebraska Football Sweatshirt - Check
Hasn't shaved in days - Check
Camo in a non-hunting situation - Check
Vapid look on his face - Check
I get that "professional wrestling" can be an entertaining form of entertainment. All the great features of classical Greek morality plays.
But I have to say, I'm just having a hard time imagining any context where I'd be really psyched about an actor landing a role. Which is basically what this is.
