Silver, Then Gold: Former WWE Superstar Wins A Title In Another Sport

He got it. Professional wrestlers are a lot of things, but one of the most important is that they are athletes. They are able to go out there and do things that run of the mill people cannot do and it can be rather impressive to see what kind of talents they have. At the same time, there are occasional instances where you will see them active in other sports, which was the case again this weekend.

Over the weekend, former WWE Superstar Baron Corbin competed at the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tournament in Tampa, Florida. Corbin, competing under his real name of Tom Pestock, lost in the finals of the Masters 2 Ultra Heavy division. However, Pestock went on to win the gold medal in Masters 2 Open division.

Pestock was good at wrestling too. Check out his time in WWE:

Opinion: This shows just how interesting things like this can go, as Pestock has won a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament, which comes after being a professional wrestler and having a career in the NFL. That is more than you are going to see from just about any other athlete and it shows you the kind of talent that professional wrestling has to offer. It is rather impressive for Pestock, who will probably be in the ring again someday.
