10 Wrestlers who are secretly huge nerds

<p>
The New Day

#7 Sasha Banks

<p>

Sasha Banks is quite fond of Manga, the Japanese equivalent to comic books, and their spawn Anime.

Her favorite series should be obvious by the above photo; Sailor Moon! Sasha lets her old school geekdom flag fly with pride and panache.


#8 Raven

<p>

Sharp-eyed wrestling fans noticed over a decade ago that Raven often wore comic book characters on his shirt and even as part of his ring gear.

However, it wasn't until the 2000s when he truly let his geek flag fly. Raven wrote a critically acclaimed comic spotlighting Crusher Hogan, the wrestler Spider Man beats and humiliates during his origin story. When Hogan can't be taken seriously after his defeat by the scrawny Peter Parker, he revolutionizes pro wrestling by inventing trash talk and dramatic storyline angles. It's still a comic that he speaks of highly today.
