WWE: 10 Superstars With The Highest IQ

8. Chris Nowinski

http://youtu.be/1GN877eEEu0 He was a jock from Harvard that ended up retiring after a couple of years in WWE due to concussion. They always mentioned he was a Harvard graduate as a way to make fans hate him for being smarter than us. They even gave him the Harvard fight song as his entrance music. It was different from the typical "smart guy" gimmick because he was also a big guy that was captain of the Harvard football team too. I always thought Nowinski was talented with a tremendous amount of potential. His in-ring career only lasted about three years after getting into WWE during the first season of Tough Enough. Most know that he went on to lead the Spots Legacy Institute that does great work in examining the head injuries of athletes.
