Two years of intensive training are set to pay off for former German national team goalkeeper Tim Wiese, who will make his WWE debut this week.
Wiese had plenty of success in professional soccer, both in the Bundesliga and with the national team, but career ended in 2014 when he was released by Hoffenheim. He immediately started lifting weights and transformed his body into a hulking mass of muscle more befitting a bodybuilder. He weighed about 200 pounds as a keeper and he says he beefed up to about 290 pounds before dropping down to his current 265.
