Tim Wiese, 34, retired from football to pursue a wrestling career in 2014.
Former Germany international and Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese has accepted a training invitation from WWE as he moves a step closer to his wrestling dream.
Wiese received a personal invitation from executive vice-president of talent Paul Levesque - commonly known as "Triple H" - to join the WWE Performance Center for an extended training period in Orlando, Florida.
After representing Germany at the 2010 World Cup and helping Bremen to three trophies during his seven years at the Bundesliga outfit, Wiese retired from football in 2014 to pursue a career in wrestling, which started as a guest timekeeper during a WWE event in Frankfurt later that year.
