Lol. What? What a random question.

I assume there may be a couple.

Pro wrestling is my second big love while animal rights is my biggest love. I figured I'd ask. This could include any of the smaller independent leagues as well. I'd assume it's hard being a vegetarian travelling a lot and eating out frequently, but with the smaller independent leagues where they don't travel as much it would be easier.

Killer Kowalski was one. I Remembered that when he was drafted. I don't think it would necessarily be that difficult though. I was a strict vegetarian for 5 or 6 years before adding fish and seafood back to my diet and I did a lot of traveling across the country and didn't have any difficulty finding food to eat. Bodybuilder types are into vitamins, supplements and protein powders anyway, so being well fed shouldn't have been an issue.

There's probably a few, but it's probably really rare. I don't think you'll find any of the well-built guys in the business being vegetarians, that's for sure. If you read Jericho's book, he talked about how a lot of guys used to get pissed off on the road cause they couldn't have steak in some places and they were sulking cause they thought they would lose muscle mass if they didn't get enough meat to go with their workouts. He specifically named Warlord as one of the guys who was bitching about it.

It's probably easier for guys today to do it with the lighter schedule, but when wrestling was at it's peak in the 80's and 90's, I don't think there were any vegetarians or vegans.

What would you eat though? I haven't gone to too many restaurants but the ones I go to serve pasta and just about everything else is meat or fish related.

I mean, you're limited in fast food options, but =/= not having eating options. Grocery stores are everywhere, veg friendly restaurants... probably Kowalski speaks on this in the source in his wiki.

Brian Danielson is a vegan if I'm right.

I use to always see Killer at a Chinese buffet in North Andover MA. My plate would be covered with Chinese food and his would be all green stuff lol
