Hide is best.

Not many wrestlers dare to make an imposing sidechest to the audience after throwing a fella in the ring!

That's happened before!!!

Remember back in 1996, Achim Albrecht left the IFBB to become a pro wrestler ("Brakus"). He wrestled briefly for WWE and bounced around the smaller developmental wrestling feds.

Paul Dillet tried his hand at it, wrestling for WCW, in its bush-league federations. But, he said the beatings were too much and call it quits.

Mat Duvall, after winning the 2003 Nationals, got a try-out with TNA. I don't recall if he ever made it on TV or not.

Plus, there have been some NPC amateurs who done the wrestling thing, the most successful to date, being the recent Muscle & Fitness cover guy, Dave Batista.

Aaron Baker has tried his hand at it, and Ian Harrison has too.

Now strongmen, Olympic Lifters, and Powerlifters-there have been plenty of those.

The Great Paul Anderson was apparently so tired after a bit that he use to flop out and let himself get pinned. He also had an interesting boxing career.
