In a recent interview with The Half-Forgotten History podcast, Philadelphia Eagles’ Lane Johnson discussed several topics, including his interest in a potential wrestling career, noting that Jim Ross has held discussions with him in the past about that possibility.
“Jim Ross, who was an announcer for WWE, he was always at our games at University of Oklahoma and he would just whisper in my ear every now and then, hey if football don’t work out, I got you a spot, so I feel like in my heart, I want to be a wrestler, but we’ll see what happens when this football’s done, but yeah, I would love to, it’s something you never had to grow up in, it just seems like a lot of fun.”
