Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.

View all responses

If I had to name any professional athlete I respected it would probably be the Rock because he is a wrestler and I’ve never gotten into any other sports in my life other than being a short lived basketball fan in my childhood. However, this was very short lived. I never went to any professional basketball games in person or had a favourite player despite me knowing Michael Jordan. He was never someone I truly admired and was just someone I could take or leave. Having said that, I began watching wrestling in 2002 when I was twelve years old and I found names such as the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Undertaker really stood out to me and I grew up admiring them. As of 2024, my focus has shifted to watching and rating movies as my new hobby and I don’t really follow wrestling anymore as this has overshadowed my interest towards it. However, the short answer to this question is that the athletes I respect are wrestlers.
