12 WWE Stars You Didn't Know Were Super Intelligent

By Tom Gibbs /

8. €œHacksaw€ Jim Duggan

Hooooo! Hey tough guy, just because Jim Duggan prefers to use his head in the ring doesn€™t mean he can€™t use his head outside of it. Before becoming a professional wrestler who carried a two by four and chanted for Old Glory, the New York native was brought over to Southern Methodist University. It was there that Duggan earned a bachelor€™s degree in applied plant biology. Yup, another biologist in the group. Imagine Wade Barrett and Jim Duggan having an intellectual conversation at the water cooler about biology life. Perhaps they€™ve apt to discuss at length about the aquatic flora in the Atlantic Ocean. Well, maybe not that, but it just goes to show that some people are smarter than they appear to be. On the other side of the coin, Bobby €œThe Brain€ Heenan never even went to college; he dropped out of school in the eighth grade. Yet fans will consider Bobby the smart one and Duggan the dumb one. On screen personas are not always a reflection of the real men.
