16. Abraham Lincoln Was A Wrestler
During his early life, Lincoln did many interesting things including wrestling. While he was living in Salem, Illinois, Lincoln became known as one of the greatest wrestlers in the area. Of course, back in Lincoln’s time, wrestling was a lot different compared to what you will see on the television today or even in high school auditoriums. Nonetheless, when word got out about Lincoln’s wrestling days when he was aiming for a political seat, many people took notice. Some even voted for him because of his wrestling reputation.
