Wycombe striker Akinfenwa is in talks with the WWE over a move to wrestling
So a move to the world of professional wrestling seems a pretty logical career change for the man known as ‘The Beast’. Akinfenwa first spoke of his dream of going into WWE in April last year.
A meeting with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and his children’s love of the sport lit a fire inside the former Wimbledon star.


And now he says swapping penalties for piledrivers remains a very real possibility.
Akinfenwa – who recently slammed the FA for clearing a Fleetwood staff member who allegedly labelled him a ‘fat water buffalo’ – told talkSPORT: “I’ve had a couple of calls recently in regards to that [going into wrestling].
“I’ll be following up on that soon – so it could go up or down depending on the outcome of that.
“I can’t tell you a direct percentage in terms of that [coming to fruition], but it’s something I’m really passionate about, so watch this space, people.”
Should it work out, Akinfenwa revealed which pro footballers he would most like to take on.
He said: “In terms of a Royal Rumble that’s something I’d want to win obviously – and there’s some tough lads out there, you know.
