17. Kevin James & Mick Foley

Knowing Kevin James from the TV shows and films such as The King of Queens, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and Grown-Ups, it took us by surprise to read about his high school days as a wrestler. To top it off, he was in the same high school wrestling team with professional wrestling legend Mick Foley. Mick even fondly recalls looking up to Kevin and considered him to be the toughest kid in their school. To be considered as the toughest by the iconic hardcore wrestler known as Mankind goes to show the degree of wrestling prowess Kevin had during his prime.

Kevin, due to several injuries, had to forgo his wrestling ambitions and went on to play college football. Sadly, his injuries persisted, and he eventually decided to drop his pursuit of a professional career altogether. Kevin then turned to stand-up comedy, where he would make a career out of portraying heavyset characters.
