We work harder than everyone else -we get injured just as often -yet we don't turn into druggies or drug dealers .
Any one know why ?
Its because they are mostly black! Joking. Most wrestlers have a college degree so they can always get a job. Also, wrestlers in America don't make much money and are not celebrities so they have easier time adjusting to real life than premodonnas in basketball and football.
