5 Things You Didn't Know About WWE WrestleMania 36 Guest Host Rob Gronkowski
His favourite wrestler ISN'T Mojo Rawley?!?!
1. His Favorite, Naturally
Having been born in 1989, Gronkowski would've been about the age that many kids get into wrestling just as the Attitude Era was hitting its stride. His teenage years coincided with the Ruthless Aggression phase, so there were plenty of genuine stars for him to idolize and emulate in his halcyon youth.
So who is Gronk's favorite wrestler (outside of buddy Mojo Rawley)? Surprisingly (or perhaps not so much), Gronk's squared circle hero, as revealed in a 2016 interview, is none other than Val Venis. You know, the man who portrayed an adult film star, and enjoyed seducing the wives and sisters of his enemies.
Given the NFL icon's penchant for drinking, you'd think Gronk's tastes today perhaps skew more toward Chris Jericho and Adam Page.
