10 Most Improved Wrestlers Of The Past Decade
3. Moose
Former NFL player Quinn Ojinnaka left football in 2012 after six years as a pro, and immediately went on to a new career - pro wrestling. After training at the WWA4 Academy, he took the name 'Moose' and started working with Dragon Gate USA. He was soon hired by Ring of Honor.
Like with most wrestlers, Moose's early matches weren't much to speak of. By 2015, however, he had turned a major corner, and by the middle of the year, he was having some great matches that saw him go toe to toe with ROH's best. In particular, a three-way contest with Roderick Strong and Michael Elgin at Best in the World 2015 was a show-stealer. In 2016, Moose would wrestle IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada in another great bout.
Later that year, Moose signed with TNA, his most high-profile job yet. Since joining the company, Moose has recorded a pair of reigns as TNA Grand Champion, and more success is clearly to come.
