Former NC State OL Joe Sculthorpe Signs with WWE

+

The unique world of pro-wrestling and its flag bearer, the WWE have never been short on star college athletes eventually becoming superstars and champions. This is especially true of former athletes from ACC institutions like Roman Reigns (Joe Anoai) at Georgia Tech, Ron Simmons at Florida State, Dwayne Johnson at The U, and, one of our own, Charlotte Flair. Well along with current performer Julius Creed (Jacob Kasper), an ACC champion wrestler from Duke, former NC State OL Joe Sculthorpe has signed a developmental deal with WWE. This means he'll train with their coaches on the physical and theatrical challenges of becoming a successful pro-wrestler and will hopefully get a chance to introduce his character on TV somewhere down the road. With his fight and reliability in the trenches here, he seems ready made to have an impact in this kind of industry. Just don't get used to his name being his name (as cool as Sculthorpe already sounds) that company has a tendency want their own branding no matter how ridiculous it sounds. Good luck and #Go Pack to Joe!
