Well, it appears that Wiese could soon be a part of the WWE roster as he is now a member of the company after he was invited by Paul 'Triple H' Levesque to train with the WWE ahead of a possible full time contract with the cimpany and the former German international footballer has accepted the offer gleefully, to much surprise among the world soccer community. Wiese will fly over the United States and joing the WWE performance centre located in Orlando, Florida in order to learn the ropes of professional wrestling before he is deemed fit for his ring debut.

"I have been training hard for this, and I am excited for the opportunity. No matter what it takes, my goal is to be in that WWE ring this November. I want that match!" said Wiese, in reaction to the latest development in his career. Weise had earlier played for the current world champions Germany and other than that, he was a part of the German top flight with stints at Hoffenheim, Werder Bremen and Kaiserslautern.

The 34 year old, who stands at 6 feet four inches has impressed Paul Levesque with his raw skills and power and considering the fact that Levesque is also the vice president of talent at the WWE, it was only a matter of time before he got his chance. Levesque said "Tim is tenacious.He continues to be very vocal in his desire to prove that he has what it takes, and he has shown tremendous resilience and determination to create an opportunity for himself.This is his break to walk his talk. If all goes well in Florida, he will get his chance in the ring."
