#1 Tim Wiese
In 2012, Tim Wiese signed for Hoffenheim for an undisclosed fee and was immediately promoted to the position of the captain of the team. However, he conceded 14 goals in five games and was slowly dropped for the first squad after Heurelho Gomes was signed from Tottenham Hotspur.
His contract with Hoffenheim was terminated by mutual consent of both parties in 2014 which resulted in him becoming a free agent. The reason cited was that he had a muscular upper body which was fit for body building sports and not suitable for professional football.
He was a part of the German national squad for the 2010 World Cup but was the only player to not play a single game due to the presence of Manuel Neuer in the team.
In September 2014, he hinted that he had been given a contract by the WWE to join NXT. He started training at the Performance Center in 2016, reportedly after an invitation by Triple H. "This is his break to walk his talk. If all goes well in Florida, he will get his chance in the ring,” Triple H said at the time.
