Who are the richest wrestlers in the world? For anyone whose parents say you’ll never make any money learning to take a folding chair to the face, immediately show them this list.

Taking a folding chair to the face?.....that’s how I met my wife.

[KC_Lion]

I take it the Ultimate Warrior isn't one of them.

Although many people believe the CFL offers a better game than the NFL, it isn’t able to generate the income that the NFL and many players either graduate to the NFL from the CFL or they wind down their NFL careers by coming to the CFL.

Dwayne Johnson, the Rock, was cut from the Calgary Stampeders due to a back injury. He must have thought his life was over at the ripe old age of 23. :)

[Mike Darancette]

Pencil neck geeks!

[EEGator]

His father and grandfather were pro wrestlers. The Rock appeared on That 70’s Show under his dad’s name.

[Jonty30]

That’s cool.

I’ve seen some of those Canadian football games......no huddles and they play on ice. More of a finesse game.

[Jonty30]

And the football is smaller and harder. :)

Take any information from this site with a huge grain of salt. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the late actor Sherman Hemsley was worth at least $3 million when he recently died. But court documents in El Paso, Texas (where he passed away), put the value of Mr. Hemsley’s estate at $50,000. Quite a difference. I think the website gets most of its information from publicists and the gossip mill, rather than actual financial data.

BJ Penn's a bit further down the list, but not doing too badly.
He's a local Hilo boy here, and his parents have the family compound here.
He is currently launching a big new gym in Honolulu.
I had him and his 2 brothers in my high school classes (although BJ didn't stay very long).

[Texas Songwriter]

What exactly is a grit?

[Lizavetta]

What exactly is a grit?

Grits are coarsely ground kernels of corn boiled with water or milk.

*** WRASSLIN’ PING LIST ***

As always, if you'd like ON or OFF my wrasslin' ping list, let me know

[AppyPappy]

I just saw where a high school football stadium will be named after Jim Meyers who fans remember as George the Animal Steele. He coached football at that school for many years. What a great honor for the coach.

[daler]

I see “the very capable” George “Scrap Iron” Gadaski didn’t make the list.

[Cheapskate]

Scrap iron has been dead since 83 or 84 and spent his carrer in the AWA. Case closed!

I still loved watchin him though

[commonguymd]

I have sent newspaper links to show where they are way off. They respond and make the changes.
