10 Degrees You Didn't Know WWE Stars Had

4. Dolph Ziggler (Political Science)

Looking at the WWE roster, it's difficult to imagine that anybody would have a degree in Political Science. Stunningly enough, that's exactly the case. Even more stunning is the fact that Dolph Ziggler is the one who holds it. A big-bumping style has helped Ziggler stand out over the years, but he's clearly a very smart dude. The qualification he possesses proves that. Much like many others on this list, Dolph was a born athlete. Throughout high school, he was a celebrated Amateur Wrestler, winning numerous championships with his wrestling team. Moving onto Kent State University, Ziggler became proficient in the Collegiate style of grappling, setting a then-record for most wins. Whilst he was busy executing take downs on the mats, the man was also studying hard. Long before he was a bleach-blonde WWE Superstar, the real-life Nick Nemeth was working towards a degree in Political Science at Kent State. It's not a subject Ziggler has been especially outspoken about since launching a wrestling career, because it's really not something that fits WWE. However, this has to stand out as one of the most surprising on the list.
