What famous people wrestled in high school?

Many famous people wrestled in high school, though verifying participation in *high school* wrestling specifically can be difficult due to limited public records for many decades. We often only hear about their college or even professional wrestling careers. That said, here are a few examples where high school wrestling is mentioned or strongly implied:

* Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: While he's famous for professional wrestling, it's widely known that his wrestling background started in high school. He often mentions it as a formative experience.

* John Cena: Similar to The Rock, Cena's professional wrestling career is well-documented, but he also began wrestling in high school.

* Kurt Angle: Another professional wrestling star, Angle's incredible athletic background included high school wrestling. His collegiate wrestling success at Penn State is better known, but his high school career was crucial to his development.

It's important to note that many athletes who went on to success in other sports (football, etc.) often wrestled in high school as well. The rigorous nature of wrestling makes it excellent cross-training. However, confirming specific high school participation for every famous athlete is a significant research task. The examples above are among the more readily verifiable cases.
