Abraham Lincoln is in the wrestling hall of fame

[Cookie2122]

Before Abraham Lincoln was a politician, he was a wrestler. With over 300 matches to his name, Lincoln only lost once and was so successful possibly due to his height he was 6 feet and 4 inches tall or perhaps because, according to History, he "reportedly talked a little smack in the ring." Whatever his tactics were, they worked, which is why he was recognized with an “Outstanding American” honor from the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. They even once hosted an animatronic Abraham Lincoln.​

It's so cool to think of Abraham Lincoln as a wrestler before he became a politician! His height and skills clearly gave him an edge in the ring, and I love that he had a bit of a competitive streak with some smack talk too. It's not every day you hear about a U.S. president being honored by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame!
