Professional wrestling is a full-time profession and is not for the weak hearted. To be proficient in wrestling, it's important to focus fully on wrestling. As a result, this can lead to some issues if the person is invested in other activities.

Lee admitted in an interview that it might not have been the smartest move for him to quit college football to pursue professional wrestling when he did as if he had stuck around and found some success in football, then with the name-value that he would have had, it would have been easier for him to transition to wrestling. At that point, it was not a decision he regretted as he entered the wrestling school of NWA's 'Killer' Tim Brooks and signed up for training there.

"I left college football behind in pursuit of pro wrestling. While I’m certain playing football at a higher level and then moving to wrestling would probably be easier, my passion is great and so I chose to start from the bottom and work my way up." - h/t
