Believe it or not, wrestling wasn’t always the dream for Stone Cold Steve Austin. In fact, the WWE Hall of Famer had strong aspirations to be a gym teacher after college. However, seeing as he was a few credits from earning a degree in physical education, that dream was cut short early. Because of that, he dropped out of college claiming he didn’t want to go into further education because he was tired of accounting and math classes.

His first job after college involved physical labour in a loading dock, he then went on to pursue wrestling. Who knows, if Austin had majored in PE and got that gym teacher role, we might not have had the Attitude Era.
