Many historians consider Abraham Lincoln to be the best president in the history of the United States, but many don’t know that before he became famous as a politician, his name was well known due to his feats as a wrestler.
He wasn’t the first U.S. president to wrestle; George Washington was also known to participate in the sport. But Lincoln was, by far, the most successful. In fact, some believe that Lincoln’s dominance in the ring helped fuel his political career.
