One of the strangest things that any WWE star ever pursued, was a career as a marine biologist. Wade Barrett may have been the United Kingdom's best hope of having a WWE Champion in the current era as a talented in-ring performer, but it seems that he was also quite a smart person outside of WWE as well.

Barrett pursued a career in Marine Biology and worked in a science laboratory as a recruitment consultant before he made the switch over to a career in wrestling. Even though Wade left WWE last year and has since decided to pursue a career in acting, it seems that one day he will continue to put his university degree to good use.
