I'm sure the ex-rugby league wrestlers eg Sandy Orford watched league. If you expand things a bt to included wrestlers who played other sports Orig Williams was a decent footballer and Wayne Bridges an international class swimmer.
I used to love our trips to the swimming baths when I was at school so was very upset when I was sent home with a letter stating that the school was banning me from attending all future visits. I recall my father angrily marching into school and confronting the headmaster demanding to know why I was being banned. "Well," said the headmaster, "on his last visit with the school, the teacher in charge observed your son wee-weeing in the water." "Goodness me," replied my father, "he's a ten year old boy. All ten year old boys wee wee in the water." "Yes," replied my headmaster, "but your son is the only one in the class who does it from the top diving board!"
