5 WWE Superstars that earned scholarships at college

#4 The Undertaker

The Undertaker’s size and athletic ability would’ve been a real asset on the basketball court.

The Undertaker is known as “The Phenom” in the WWE for good reason. He’s nearly 7 feet tall with the agility of a much smaller man and athletic skill to match, and those skills have held up well over the last two decades or more.

As a result, it should come as no surprise that he had an athletic career before he wrestled in both WCW and WWE. The Deadman, real name Mark Calaway, had a basketball scholarship at Angelina College in Texas prior to becoming one of the most feared men in pro wrestling.
