Wrasslin' and the NFL
When Football Is Football is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sports' Yesteryear.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Growing up in the 80's, I knew three things for certain. 1) I wanted a 69 Dodge Charger (still do). 2) "Autobots, transform and roll out!" 3) WWF was real.
In today's episode of the Football is Family, we look at former NFL/college players who also made a living in the world of professional wrestling.
PS- I know that wrestling isn't real. It only took me 30 years to figure that out.

HOST - JEREMY MCFARLIN
Growing up in Middle Tennessee, I didn’t have a pro football team that was close enough to me to feel a part of. My first memory of pro football was Super Bowl 22. I picked the Broncos to win, and, even though they didn’t win, I followed them from that point on.
John Elway was (and is) my favorite player. I have played as the Broncos on Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl, Madden, and 2K Sports. I fondly remember the moments when the Broncos won Super Bowls 32 and 33.
Around this time, the Oilers came to Tennessee. I was hooked. I finally had a team just down the road from my hometown of Bon Aqua. Oiler (and later Titans) mania hit this area. Jerseys, hats, footballs, merchandise, and several autographs later, I’m a Titans fan through and through.
It’s the dedication, the love, and the passion for football that helps me realize that football is family. Each fan base has a story, a history, and a love for their team. That’s what I want to talk about each and every podcast.
