Retired
Germany keeper Tim Wiese made his professional wrestling debut on
Saturday when the 32-year-old climbed into the ring at the WWE Live show
in Frankfurt.
Wiese,
who took up body building after being released by the Bundesliga side
Hoffenheim in January, caught the eye of the sport and entertainment
hybrid's top brass.
And Wiese, capped six times by Germany, was introduced to wrestling fans at the Festhalle Frankfurt on Saturday.

Wiese cut an
imposing figure with his 6ft 3in frame now boasting the muscle mass to
more than match the likes of current superstars John Cena and Brock
Lesner.
‘I got an official request from the WWE,' he told Bild in September.
‘It’s for a commitment from me to become a pro wrestler. I’ll listen to everything on it’s own merits.
Why should I
say no? Wrestling is very popular especially in the United States. I
will discuss the offer in the next few weeks with my agent. I am not
scared.’
Before
Wiese could join the upper echelons of the WWE, it's been said he would
need a year's training to get up to speed with their risky manouvres
and showmanship.
Wiese
spent the majority of his football career at Werder Bremen (194
appearances), where he played in the Champions League, after stints at
Fortuna Koln and Kaiserslautern, and was part of Germany's 2010 World
Cup squad.
He played just 10 times for Hoffenheim between 2012 and 2014.
