Goldberg was one of the most famous professional wrestlers in the 1990s. He became World Heavyweight Champion once and United States Heavyweight Champion for WCW twice. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018.

#1. Brock Lesnar (MMA and NFL)

Brock Lesnar is perhaps the greatest WWE athlete of the modern era. He played football, MMA, and professional wrestling. He also played football by trying out with Minnesota Vikings in 2004. Lesnar was a decent player but could not attain much success.

He participated in MMA by signing with UFC in 2008. After an initial loss against Frank Mir, the Beast Incarnate became the heavyweight champion twice. He still juggles his career between MMA and WWE with great vigour and tenacity.

His natural athleticism and 'never-say-die' spirit make him such a wonderful athlete in almost any sport he plays.
