5 wrestlers who have college degrees

Otunga graduated from Harvard Law School before his WWE career

#4 Wade Barrett

Barrett was nearly the King of Marine Biology

If I asked you what Wade Barrett has a degree in what would your answer be? Bare knuckle boxing or something like that probably. But, it’s time to suspend your disbelief because Mr Bad News actually has a degree in... Marine Biology.

Yup, Wade Barrett somehow has a college degree in one of the most specialised fields of all-time as he took a keen interest in the life forms that live underwater. Barrett says that despite the degree, it was his passion for wrestling which brought him to the WWE.

Starting off with a red-hot run with the promotion, Barrett and his Nexus faction were on the cusp of greatness before being buried by John Cena and none of the members ever really recovered.

Barrett himself had a few decent runs after that, but he soon left the company and is now working the indy scene while also dipping his toes into the movie industry.

Still, none of his work is related in any way, shape, or form to Marine Biology, though.
